2002 HONDA CIVIC. CONSUMER STATES AIR BAG ON DRIVER'S SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY UPON IMPACT DURING A COLLISION *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HER FATHER WAS THE DRIVER OF THE VEHICLE AND SUBSEQUENTLY DIED FROM HIS INJURIES. *JB

I BOUGHT A NEW 02 HONDA CIVIC EX. ON AUG 31 03 IT HAD BEEN RAINING AND I LOOKED DOWN FOR A MOMENT AND WHEN I LOOKED UP I WAS ON THE EDGE OF THE ROAD JERKING MY CAR BACK ONTO THE ROAD MY CAR SLID IMPACTING A MAILBOX ON MY PASSENGER FRONT SIDE THEN PRECEDED TO FLIP SEVERAL TIMES. NEITHER AIRBAG DEPLOYED (I WAS TOLD DUE TO THE FIRST IMPACT WAS NOT TO THE FRONT). WHILE FLIPPING MY SEATBELT RELEASED ME THROWING ME OUT OF THE DRIVER WINDOW LANDING FACE FIRST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY INJURIES MY LEFT ARM WAS SEVERELY BURNED DOCTORS CONCLUDE MY SEATBELT WRAPPED AROUND MY ARM DUE TO THE FLIPPING THE SEATBELT CUT MY ARM 3/4 OF THE WAY ALMOST AMPUTATING IT. I WENT THROUGH 6 SURGERIES AND NOW HAVE RADIAL NERVE DAMAGE AND LIMP WRIST. I CAN NOT EXTEND MY FINGERS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT WAS ATTEMPTING A LEFT TURN AT 10 MPH WHEN HE WAS STRUCK IN THE FRONT AT AN ANGLE BY A VEHICLE COMING FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID NOT. THE CONTACT WAS REPORTED AS INJURED. A POLICE REPORT WAS AVAILABLE. THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS UNOCCUPIED AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY WERE THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DEEMED AS DESTROYED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED FOR THE AIR BAGS FAILURES. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

SRS LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT ANY REASON... DEALERSHIP ASSURES THAT NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON MY MAKE/MODEL OF CAR... HOWEVER ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IS COMMON SCENARIO FOR MY MAKE/MODEL YEAR... WHILE SRS LIGHT IS LIT UP INDICATES PROBLEM WITH SEATBELTS AND/OR AIRBAGS, THE ISSUE WITH SEATBELTS IS THAT THEY WILL NOT ENGAGE/LOCK WHEN BRAKES ARE SLAMMED ON AND AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHILE SRS LIGHT REMAINS LIT UP... HONDA CHARGES $90.00 TO HOOKUP TO DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM TO DETERMINE IF SEATBELTS OR AIRBAGS, SEATBELTS ARE COVERED UNDER LIFETIME GUARANTEE AND AIRBAGS ARE NOT... IF IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AS APPARENTLY IT IS WHILE VIEWING COMPLAINTS ON BOTH NHTSA.GOV AND HONDA FORUMS THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE SHOULD BE WAIVED AS WELL AS RECALL BE ISSUED TO REPAIR ANY AND ALL ISSUES WITH SRS, ISN'T IMPORTANT TO ENSURE SAFETY AND SAVE LIVES.... *TR

2002 HONDA CIVIC, 60,800 MILES. THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON AND CAN RESULT IN DEATH IN CASE OF ACCIDENT IF THE AIR BAG IS NOT WORKING. HONDA SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND FIX THIS FOR FREE (RECALL) SINCE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. *TR

2002 HONDA CIVIC--SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY REPLACED THE SEAT BELT. AFTER ABOUT A MONTH, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, IT REMAINS THAT WAY BECAUSE I DO NOT BELIEVE THE MECHANICS ARE ALL THAT GOOD AND WOULD AUTOMATICALLY REPLACE THE AIR BAG AND CHARGE ME FOR IT. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 17, 2010, I HAD A FRONT END COLLISION. THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DIDN'T GO OFF. EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE PASSANGER SIDE , ONLY THE PASSANGER SIDE AIR BAG WENT OFF AND I DIDN'T GET ANY PROTECTION ON MY CHEST FROM THE STEERING WHEEL IMPACT.

SRS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON MY SINGLE-OWNER 2002 CIVIC LX COUPE AT APPROXIMATELY 53,100 MILES AND HAS REMAINED LIT AT CURRENT MILEAGE OF 53,249 FOR NO APPARENT REASON. AFTER READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS REGARDING FAULTY AIRBAGS, SEATBELTS, AND GENERAL SRS SYSTEM FAILURES, I WILL ATTEMPT TO HAVE VEHICLE SERVICED AT HONDA DEALERSHIP USING CSC-10024565, AS IT STATES "THE INSPECTION IS FREE OF CHARGE, EVEN IF THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE OPDS CONTROL UNIT OR THE OPDS SENSOR AND YOUR VEHICLE IS WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME/MILEAGE PERIOD (10 YEARS/150,000 MILES)" WHICH IT IS. FROM INFORMATION GATHERED FROM OTHER COMPLAINTS, EVIDENTLY WHEN THE SRS WARNING LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION. AFTER RUNNING MY VIN ON HONDA'S RECALL WEBSITE, WWW.AHM-OWNERLINK.COM/SEO/HONDARECALL.ASP, I DISCOVERED MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN THE CURRENT AIRBAG INFLATER RECALL CAMPAIGN #Q96, NHTSA #09V259000. *TR

I WAS A DRIVER IN A 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX. I WAS IN A CORNER TO CORNER CRASH. MY AIRBAG DEPLOYED. THE AIRBAG WAS OVERINFLATED. THE CAR WAS TOTALED. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON RECENTLY AND DID NOT GO OFF. THE DIAGNOSIS BY HONDA COSTS $90 IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT COVER BY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, WHICH DETERS PEOPLE TO TAKE THE RISK TO CHECK THE PROBLEM. HONDA SHOULD COVER THE WHOLE DIAGNOSIS COST BECAUSE IT IS RELATED TO SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE HONDA CIVIC 2002. SRS LIGHT IS ON I TAKE IT TO DEALER TO CHECK & THEY FOUND MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT BUCKLE HAS SENSOR IN IT MAKES TROUBLE HONDA WARRANTY COMES WITH LIFE TIME WARRANTY ON THE BUCKLE BUT DEALER SAY IN ORDER TO FIX THEY HAVE TO CHANGE BUCKLE BUT ITS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. I CALL AND COMPLAINT TO HONDA CARE CENTER THEY MADE DECISION TO PAY ONLY $95 FOR DIAGNOSIS FEE & THEY WILL REPAIR IT FOR FREE ONLY ONE TIME BUT I GUESS SEAT BELT FAIL IS ALSO TROUBLE WITH INSIDE SRS SENSOR TOO BUT HOW COM THEY SEPARATE THIS ISSUE LIKE A SEAT BELT IS OK BUT SENSOR IS NOT OK AND YOU NEED NEW SENSOR WHICH COMES WITH SEATBELT BUCKLE THAN PAY TO HONDA OTHERWISE YOUR SRS LIGHT IS ON AND YOUR CAR AIRBAG NOT WORKING YOU COULD DIE BY NOT...

SRS LIGHT CAME ON FOR NO REASON BUT WAS TOLD THE SEAT AND SAFETY BELT WERE THE PROBLEM BUT THE SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK TILL FIXED AND THEN HE WAS NOT SURE AS I FOUND OUT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR IN THE FAMILY SINCE NEW. NO WRECK OR ACCIDENT HAPPENED. *TR

SRS LIGHT CAME ON TODAY FOR NO REASON. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IN DOING RESEARCH NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT HONDA IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM AND STATING THAT AIR BAGS ARE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE (WHY ARE THEY MANDATED BY LAW THEN?). RESPONSES FROM OTHER OWNERS REVEAL THAT THIS COSTLY REPAIR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM (ESTIMATES FROM $300-$1,000 OR MORE). I CAN PAY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED, HOWEVER I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUALLY HAVE TO REPAIR THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS MUST BE FILED BEFORE NHTSA ACTS? DOES IT REQUIRE ACTUAL DEATH OF AN OWNER BECAUSE OF A FAILED AIRBAG TO CAUSE ACTION TO TAKE PLACE? I'VE READ COMPLAINTS HERE THAT DATE BACK TO 2002. *TR

MY 2002 HONDA CIVIC LX WAS TOTALED IN A LOW SPEED 2 CAR ACCIDENT. THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. MY PASSENGER SUFFERED MINOR BRUISING FROM HER SEAT BELT. MY INJURIES INCLUDED SECOND DEGREE BURNS TO MY THROAT AND THE TOP OF MY HANDS. THE EMT'S, MEDICAL PERSONNEL IN THE ER, AND DOCTORS AT THE BURN UNIT SAID THE BURNS WERE CAUSED BY CHEMICALS EMITTED FROM THE AIRBAGS. IN ADDITION TO SEVERE PAIN AND MEDICAL BILLS, I LOST THREE WEEKS OF WORK WHILE MY BURNS HEALED. THE TREATMENTS AT THE BURN UNIT AND THE DAILY TREATMENTS AT HOME WERE NAUSEATING AND AT EXCRUCIATING. THE SCARS ON MY HANDS HAVE FADED BUT ARE STILL EVIDENCED BY THE PATCHES OF RED DISCOLORATION. THE BURN ON MY THROAT HAS HEALED WITHOUT SCARING BUT I HAVE TO PROTECT THE AREA FROM SUN EXPOSURE. I MUST PROTECT MY HANDS FROM THE SUN FOR AT...

I WAS A PASSENGER IN A 2002 HONDA CIVIC (2-DOOR) INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION WITH A HYUNDAI ELANTRA. MY AIRBAG (PASSENGER SIDE) DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. ADDITIONALLY, MY SEAT (PASSENGER SIDE) BROKE LOOSE FROM THE FLOOR MOUNTS AND DID NOT RESTRAIN ME FROM SMASHING FORWARD INTO THE DASH WITH MY LEGS AND FORARMS TAKING THE IMPACT. AS A RESULT OF THE SEAT BECOMING UN-FASTENED I SUFFERED BRUISING AND LACERATIONS ON MY LEGS AND ARMS AND NECK AND BACK INJURIES FROM MY HEAD WHIPLASHING BECAUSE A LACK OF AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. THE DRIVER DID NOT SUFFER ANY BACK OR NECK INJURIES BECAUSE HIS AIRBAG RESTRAINED HIS HEAD FROM "SNAPPING" FORWARD. TO SUMMARIZE: PASSENGER SEAT CAME LOOSE FROM FLOOR MOUNTS AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY.

MY DAUGHTER REAR ENDED A CHEVROLET TAHOE AT 35 MPH, HER 2002 HONDA CIVIC'S PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT NOT THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG. HER CAR WAS TOTALED. MY DAUGHTER WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED THANKS TO GOD LOOKING AFTER HER AND THE FACT SHE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT. SHE DID HOWEVER HIT HER HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. THE ADJUSTER FROM STATE FARM INSURANCE COMPANY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. *NM

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND MY DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AND ONLY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED. AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT I WAS NOT ABLE TO BREATH AND I WAS IN PAIN. MY CHEST AND MY RIGHT RIBS STILL HURT. I BELIEVE THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND MANUFACTURER OF THE CAR SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR PART OF MY INJURIES. I THINK MY CAR IS TOTALED AND I HOPE THAT YOU INVESTIGATE. I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON AND I WAS THE ONLY ONE IN THE CAR, I HAD NO PASSENGER IN THE CAR. *JB

I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2002HONDA CIVIC. THE CAR CAME WITH FROTNAL AIR BAGS. I HAD AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON 12/14/03, LOST CONTROL OF MY CAR ON BLACKICE AND I WAS GOING 25 MPH ON I-495 EASTBOUND (LINCOLN TUNNEL/KENNEDY BLVD EXIT). MY CAR CRASHED FRONTALLY INTO THE GUARD RAILS OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAD MY SEAT BELT ON, BUT SURPRISINGLY THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF. I WAS SURPRISE THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK, AND MAKE ME THINK THAT IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED, I COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED SEVERELY. I KNOW THAT THESE AIR BAGS ARE SUPPOSE TO WORK AT AN IMPACT AT A MINIMUM SPEED OF 10 MPH AND IF THE CRASH IS FRONTAL. I AM CURRENTLY GOING FOR THERAPY SINCE I IJURED MY NECK, SHOULDER AND BACK DUE TO THE IMPACT OF THE ACCIDENT.*AK

THE SRS LIGHT IS ACTIVATED AND REQUIRES A VISIT TO THE DEALER TO RE-ACTIVATE THE SRS SYSTEM IF A CELL PHONE IS LEFT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. PER THE DEALER, THE CELL PHONE INTERFERES WITH THE SRS SENSORS THAT MEASURE SEAT VS SEATBACK PRESSURE AND TELLS THE SYSTEM TO SHUT OFF. ADDITIONALLY, IF A SMALL PACKAGE IS PLACED ON THE FRONT SEAT, THE SRS DEACTIVATES - WHICH IS FINE, BUT IT MAY REMAIN DEACTIVATED AFTER THE PACKAGE IS REMOVED.

THE 80 YEAR OLD DRIVER DID NOT STRIKE THE STEERING WHEEL. THE STERNUM FRACTURES ARE BELIEVED TO BE THE RESULT OF THE SEAT BELT LOCKING UP DURING THE EVENT.CW *TT *JB

MY SRS INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WITH ERROR CODE 15-3, WHICH EFFECTIVELY TURNS OFF MY AIR-BAGS ON MY 2003 CIVIC EX. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR WHAT IS NOW THE THIRD TIME. THE FIRST TIME THEY RESET THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OPDS UNIT. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE OPDS UNIT AND NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE TO DRIVE A $20,000 VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT DON'T WORK. MECHANIC BLAMED ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE, BUT I DON'T HAVE A CELL PHONE OR LAPTOP OR ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT-SIDE PASSENGER SEAT THAT HAS CAUSED THE TRIP. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CAR DOES NOT MEET ITS DESIGN SPECS. AND IS A LEMON. AND WHOEVER HEARD OF NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE A CELL PHONE IN A CAR ? *PH

BOTH MYSELF AND MY PASSENGER WERE TRANSPORTED TO THE HOSPITAL AND RECEIVED CHEST INJURIES AND NECK INJURIES. THE SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAGS IS COMPLETELY EXPOSED AND CRUSHED WHERE THE FRONT END OF THE CAR USED TO BE. I DID CALL HONDA EXPECTING THEM TO BE AT LEAST INTERESTED BUT THEY WERE LESS THAN INTERESTED. I CALLED BACK AND ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR BUT THEY REFUSED TO LET ME DO SO. THEY DID SAY THE AIRBAGS ONLY DEPLOY DURING A "SEVERE" IMPACT. I POINTED OUT TO THE GUY THAT THE OWNER'S BOOK SAYS "MODERATE TO SEVERE". HE JUST SAID "REALLY?". I TRUSTED HONDA LIKE MOST CONSUMERS DO. I DON'T ANYMORE. *JB

WE WERE TRAVELING ON SR 540 WHEN A DRUNK DRIVER (DRIVING A FORD F150 EXTENTED CAB) PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF US.

THE PASSENGER SUBSTAINED A CUT ON RIGHT LEG AND BRUSING FROM UNDERNEATH THE GLOVEBOX ASSEMBLY. PASSENGER ALSO HAS WHIPLASH AND BRUSING FROM SEATBELT. BOTH OCCUPANTS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR EVALUATION. HOW DOES THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF A CAR CRUSH UPON IMPACT AND THE TWO FRONT AIR BAGS DON'T DEPLOY! THIS NEEDS THE ATTENTION OF THE MANUFACTURER SO THIS PROBLEM...
