NHTSA Complaint #10892051 — 2007 HONDA CIVIC

PURCHASED 2007 HONDA CIVIC NEW. HAD ISSUE WITH PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ON 2008. HAD DEALER FIX. LIGHT CAME ON 2009. HAD DEALER FIX. LIGHT CAME BACK ON 2010. NOW VEHICLE WARRANTY PERIOD EXPIRED. DID NOT WORRY BECAUSE PASSENGER SIDE AIR ONLY AND MY SON DRIVE MOSTLY BY HIMSELF. LIGHT HAVE BEEN ON EVER SINCE. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER FOR RECALL OF AIRBAGS 7/2016. HAD DEALER LOOK AT SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT AGAIN. THEY TELL ME THE I HAD A FAULTY FLOOR HARNESS AND ALL MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK AND COST OF REPAIR AFTER DISCOUNT TO BE $1600. I CALL AMERICAN HONDA ON 8/1 TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER COST OF REPAIR. THEY DID NOT. BASE ON MY RESEARCH, I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNFAIR. 2007 HONDA CIVIC HAVE THIS PROBLEM SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE CODE 32-10. I THINK MY CAR FAULTY HARNESS ISSUE WAS THERE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND IT CAUSE SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON CONSTANTLY AND WHY THE REPAIR NEVER LASTED MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SAME AS WITH THE SEAT BELT AND AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD COVER COST OF REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA HAS SERVICE NOTICE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA CIVIC ONLY. MY MILEAGE IS 85080 AT THIS TIME.
