While cruising down a standard roadway around 40 mph, the passenger side/seat airbag randomly deployed for no apparent reason. The sound and shock of the airbag deployment nearly caused me to lose control the vehicle because it was so loud and unexpected.

Honda is not honoring their commitment to make service available for the recalls on this vehicle, which includes the Takata airbag. I am attempting to make an appointment at my local Honda Dealer Paragon Honda in Woodside, NY on 6/28. There are no service appointments available through the end of December. I had the same problem about two years ago when I attempted to speak to a person at the dealership. They have made this impossible. Because I live in NYC it is not reasonable to commute to the next closest dealer because that would require bridges and tolls. This is unaccaptable.

Not a complaint but I had my passenger airbag replaced June 26, 2015. Received a new recall in July 2015 but was told it did not apply that it was covered in the June 2015 repairs. Just need to verify if the recall is a recall of the recall. Confused yet?

I was involved in a high speed motor vehicle accident on CA980. The airbags did not deploy. I brought my Honda CRV in for recall for the airbags in ~Jan 2020 to get this recall fixed, so I do not know what happened.

Takata recall: I had to pay labor costs to have the replacement air bags installed. I also did not receive a loan vehicle while my car was in the shop all day being repaired. I was told I could rent one of their vehicles. The airbag was replaced prior to it being deployed because of crash or accident.

No " takata recall"" for my 2004 Honda CRV w/ faulty driver + passenger airbags?! this car should definately be on that recall list but is not!! why? ! I purchased my 2004 only 9 months ago from a dealer. I was traveling on a highway approaching a red light going approx 35- 40 mph when my 2004 Honda CRV hit the rear of another car. My driver airbag never opened to protect me yet my passenger airbag inflated!? ironically, I was alone with no passengers! both front airbags failed me & were faulty! I feel this is a major safety hazard and I was lucky to get out of my car alive! I don't know if fault lies wholly with Honda and/or takaka or w/ the dealer who sold me this car" unfortunately, I now own an $8000 "totaled" CRV sitting in a junkyard and I'm w/O transportation to my job!

SRS unit malfunction. SRS light steady lit. Vehicle has not been in a crash. Result is that the SRS will not function as designed in a actual crash. Suspect premature failure of internal components of the SRS. Honda will only replace at owners cost.
