Recent owner reports: Air Bags
“Got this vehicle about a year and a half ago at full price from local dealership. It looks like it has been pieced together with many other hondas. The check engine light has been on ever since. The car keeps yet no camera. Just tried to get inspected. So far charged 2500 but was given a pass on inspection only for the light to come back on. I noticed on the back of repair paperwork this car has 2 airbag recalls.”
“There was no incident involved. The airbags on passenger side are not working, according to alert on dash. I inherited this car from my deceased husband who purchased the car in Paramus, NJ. I thought this problem was fixed by the dealer at some point, but evidently was not. The car is now registered in NC, where I live. Thank you for any help you can give me to correct this problem.”
“1. Car got into an accident, another car hit my car front on... my Airbags never deployed but I side my front screen, it shows airbags deployed, and even button of airbags now flashes... 2. Seatbelt, malfunctions and got so tied on me that it was literally shocking me and then when I undid my seatblet, seatbelt shrunk and would not budge to work again to seatbelt myself and became short... 3.”
