This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Airbag system not consistently activated with small adults (5'4", 110 lb. And 5'8", 115 lb.) passengers. Have followed all troubleshooting steps, I.e. nothing obstructing seat, passenger sitting fully upright, etc. Dealership and american Honda state it is functioning as engineered even though owner's manual states plainly that it should function at > 65 lbs and adults should not ride in the seat if this occurs. Occurs inconsistently while in motion and parked.
The contact owns a 2018 Honda Accord. When the vehicle was started, the passenger air bag warning indicator failed to illuminate 'off'. the contact also mentioned that the dashboard vibrated on the passenger side while driving; however, the vibration stopped when the brake pedal was depressed. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired twice for the vibration failure at Honda windward (45-671 kamehameha hwy, kaneohe, hi 96744, (808) 247-8544). The dealer stated that a new air conditioning belt was taped onto the unit. The belt was covered with foam to keep it attached to the unit. As the belt pressed against the air conditioning unit it made a noise and, coupled with an unknown object under the dashboard, caused a vibration. The air bag failure was not diagnosed. Neither the air bag or vibration failure was repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failures. The failure mileage was 1,090.
May 13th, 2018 driving on the highway doing 50-55 going eastbound on the bay bridge in san francisco -'out of no where' the electric parking brake came on! and I didn't push no buttons! not quite sure of the malfunctioning, but it cost an accident' cause someone hit me from behind! also my airbags didn't deploy, but when Honda link assistant called and we was told- 'they sense an accident cause of deployed airbags.' I'm afraid to drive a car that nearly killed us.
