Airbag failure

Honda Accord 2008  80000 miles
My daughter was driving her 2008 Honda Accord, she hit a tree, fence and flipped the car resulting in it hitting another tree and the drivers airbag never deployed. She died in the car accident and Honda takes no responsibility for this. If you had seen her car you wouldn’t believe the air bag didn’t deploy- all the other airbags did but not hers. I even had the coroner say she had no signs of airbag deployment to her body and her injuries were consistent with no airbag deployed. The police report and first responders stated no airbag deployment yet Honda takes no responsibility for it. Just makes me wonder how many more lives will be lost before they own this and make it a recall.

My 2009 Accord Coupe 5 speed Airbag SRS warning light came on for no apparent reason. Car has not been in a collision and I rarely travel with a passenger. Around that time, I received a letter from Honda about an airbag inflator problem that would be repaired on recall. When Honda replaced the Inflator, the SRS light was still on (Dealer informed me that the light on had nothing to do with the recall) so they ran a code test - got 82-12 code - replaced passenger side weight sensor ($699). SRS light was still on. Ran code test - indicated if light stayed on to replace wire harness and if that doesn't fix the problem, replace OPDS Unit (quoted price $1054). Am disgusted. Honda dealer said it is caused by faulty electrical issue.

2013 Accord 2.4L 5A problems

Honda Accord 2013 LX Sedan 2.4L 5A
While driving alone into a marked space in a public parking lot, my foot slipped off the brake and hit the accelerator. The vehicle then accelerated into the concrete base of a light pole. Immediately, the vehicle bumper crumpled, the left side of the hood crumpled, and the passenger side air bag activated. There was no one except myself in the vehicle and the driver side airbag did not activate. At this date, november 10, i have no idea how much damage was done to the vehicle. *tr

2010 Accord 5A problem

Honda Accord 2010 EX V-6 Sedan 3.5L 5A
Front passenger airbags deployed without impact on my 2010 honda accord causing passenger injury. Honda verbally agreed to cover all costs then broke the verbal contract which has left me in a financial disaster as i am now having to pay for my monthly car payment as well as payments towards a loan of $14,000. 00 to cover all costs of the airbag incident........ September 2014 i was involved in a automobile accident in which the air bags should have deployed but instead failed.

Problem Accord

Honda Accord 2009
2009 honda accord airbags didn't deploy with radiator wrapped around engine on a front end crash. The other vehicle was a jeep and was hit in the side and all the airbags were deployed. This was not a minor accident as they are thinking of totaling out the vehicle. My mother in law weighs around 100 pounds, but the airbags should have been deployed. She was taken to the hospital, with chest injuries. *tr

Supplemental restraint system indicator was blinking on and off, now it stays on all the time. Dealer said that the srs computer was not communication with the resistant system and the first step is to change the srs computer. If that doesn't work, the next steps are to replace the airbag senors in the seat or any sensor in that supplemental restraint system. The initial cost to replace the srs computer is $746.28. Dealer said this is a safety issue. Repair scheduled for 21-oct-2015. The problem started on 10-oct-2015.

Honda Accord 2012 EX-L Sedan 2.4L 5A
On 8/03/2015 i was rear ended by another suv that failed to stop while i was waiting behind a red light. The impact of the accident was severe enough to force my car to hit the other car in front of me and consequently i was taken but the ambulance to the local hospital for further physical examination. I am writing you this because after my release from the hospital i noticed due to the high speed impact the air bag light in my car had been turned on yet the air bag itself never deployed. Therefore i would like to make an official complaint and inquiry about the honda auto company. I believe i might have skipped very serious physical injuries perhaps by luck yet the fact that the airbag of my honda never deployed is rey disturbing to me. I would appreciate your help in this matter.

I was in an accident on 4-10-15 in my 2013 honda accord. I hit another vehicle from behind. It was a very hard in pact but the air bag didn't come out until i tried to open the door to get out of the car. The air bag hit the right side of my face, neck, shoulder and breast. I contacted the honda dealer and they said its not a big deal and must of pinched a line to the sensor. The paint and body shop said they have never heard of this happening. The insurance wants to fix it for 10,000 and i'm very scared to get my car back and drive it. Please contact me if this has happened to you. Caprina zarate po box 2437 porterville ca 93258...
