Consumer Description

GOOD MORNING, I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG INFLATOR IN OUR 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON AND WE SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC. HE INFORMED US THAT WHEN HE RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC, CODE "33-10" CAME UP, STATING THERE IS AN OPEN OR INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE LEFT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED WE GO TO HONDA FOR MORE INFORMATION. DURING OUR VISIT TO HONDA, THEY CONFIRMED THE ISSUE AND INFORMED US THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST ~$1,600 TO FIX. (ATTACHED IS A COPY OF THE INFORMATION FROM HONDA) WE THEN WENT BACK TO OUR MECHANIC, WHO SUGGESTED THAT WE CONTACT THE NHTSA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WHEN CALLING THE SERVICE LINE, WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE SHOULD FILE A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. WE ARE OF COURSE VERY CONCERNED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH HONDA AND THE TAKATA INFLATORS, THAT PERHAPS OUR CAR MAY BE AFFECTED AS WELL. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT ARE IMPACTED, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT NHTSA WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT US IN INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. THANK YOU. *TR
