Takata recall: I rolled my car on my way to work in August of 2015. I had gotten a letter 2 weeks prior of an airbag recall. I called the local dealerships but due to high volume I was put on a waiting list. My airbags didn't deploy and my driver's seatbelt didn't lock. I suffered a fracture to the base of my skull and a traumatic brain injury. I couldn't work at all for 9 months and could only work 10-15 hours a week for several months after that. A week after the car accident I was fired from my job without severance pay and I called Honda headquarters and they told me to keep checking for class action lawsuits. I was driving on a backroad going 40 mph and I hit some lose gravel. I over reacted and turned the wheel causing me to make a U turn. I hit my breaks hard to stop and make sure my seatbelt would lock. The momentum of stopping caused my Honda to roll. Since the airbags didn't deploy my face repeatedly hit the steering wheel and because my seatbelt didn't lock my head smashed the roof of the Honda repeatedly.

Takata recall----Civic had unceasing lighted SRS lights on dashboard during month of June 2014. Honda mechanics informed me that the condition meant the air bags would not inflate if a need occurred. Repeated visits to Honda during which they kept car for 2 days and than 3 days. They made me pay bills of $292.56 and $705.19 for a new SRS computer system so air bags would work

Takata recall. My SRS light has been on my dashboard since I got my car no one seems to know why they said I have air bags. So I did some reasurch and my passenger and drivers airbags are recalled and there is also a recall on my lo beams on my headlights. No incident has occurred but I would like to get the recall fixed on my car.
I went to Honda dealer tenaffly, newjersey. For free airbag repair, they might change/repair the airbag but still there is check engine sign of airbag, plz advise how to remove the sign because only the dealer can remove sign.

"takata recall" - I have gone to two different Honda dealerships to have my airbages replace and both deals have informed me that the parts are not available. I have taken my Civic to ourisman's Honda of laurel on 10/18/14 and 10/27/14. I continued to call and take my car to be service at that location about four months before taking my car to pohanka Honda captiol heights. My first inquire about the airbags was on 2/20/15. They also stated that they did not have the parts. It's bee over year and no one has replace the airbags or contacted me to bring my call in. I call pohanka Honda today (8/16/16 @ 6:35) and was informed that there is not a recall on the airbage for my VIN. However, the paperwork dated 2/20/16 indicates that airbage replacement was not completed. I do not understand why its been over an year and no one has contacted me to replace my airbags.
Had an accident on the way to work. Hit a car straight on in the back. I was in motion. My front end was totally smashed in. I would like to know why the passenger side airbag deployed and no one was in that seat and my driver's side airbag did not deploy at all. I am now suffering substantial pain and bruises across my chest, right breast and across my entire lower abdomen. Yes, the outcome could have been worse or even fatal, but I'm blessed to have walked away from this. I love my Honda and been a Honda owner since about 2003. I would like to purchase another Honda but I have my doubts now. If this should happen again can I trust that the next car will do the job that it was meant to do as far as the air bag is concerned I have taken my car twice to have it serviced for the takata recalls. I also will add that I get my service done on a regular basis with an actual Honda dealer even though my care is a 2002. Check the records if I am not mistaken, the recalls were for defected inflation, not because it wouldn't deploy at all. My question is why did my airbag not do the job that it was supposed to do?
