2004 HONDA Civic Cracked Block TSB [XXXX] Honda settled in a class-action lawsuit that covers 2008 - 2009 Civic engine block failures with unlimited miles for an extended 10-year warranty period. Covered Civics will receive an engine repair or replacement at no cost. The covered Civic engine castings were built using thinner aluminum and the cracked block will leak coolant causing the engine to overheat. Civics Covered 2006 - 2008 - ALL VINs beginning with 2HG & 1HG 2009 - Check eligibility with VIN Civic VINs beginning with 2HG & 1HG - Check eligibility * Excludes SI and Hybrid. My 2004 Civic has an identical engine crack with a 1HG VIN, and only 130k miles. The location of the crack is identical to the TSB and is not a result of the vehicle's maintenance and driver habits. I have found several cases where Honda Goodwill Assistance covered costs of repairs on vehicles past warranty. The 2004 Honda Civic has been recalled 15 times by the NHTSA with the engine problems severity rating a 10, on a scale of 1 - 10 (10 being the worst). [XXX] labeled the 2004 Honda Civic with a red Alert Notice of the recalls rendering the appeal of owning a 2004 Civic an unreliable purchase. As well as, 2006 - 2019 Civics due to the TBS extended warranty on known engine issues. [XXX] reviews for a 2004 Honda Civics a 1 out of 5 (1 being the worst). Honda Recall, Q5A, Y58 on 2001 Civic airbags caused death, yet the recall was not announced until 2019. Placing a 10-year extended warranty has proven to not cover all Honda-??s and should be reviewed on a case by case basis to catch any cars not covered by warranty. My Civic was agreed to be looked at by Honda, and I'm to send the detailed inspection report for review by the NA Honda Headquarters. Awaiting reply 11/14/2023.

I got into an accident today and airbag inflator that was replaced due to a recall never deployed upon impact causing me to slam into my steering wheel with my head. Officer looked in car and realized airbag never deployed. I drove car home. Now waiting for hopefully someone to give me an answer to why my airbag did not deploy?
The air bag failed to deploy during the vehicular collision on Jan.27, 2022 at the intersection in a city in Virginia. The HONDA Civic LX 2004 was hit by another vehicle on the driver side; the air bag on the passenger side deployed BUT NOT THE AIR BAG ON THE DRIVER SIDE. The driver suffered head injury (hematoma and cuts on scalp) & lumbar fracture and has to be treated in ER and was hospitalized for a few days. The injured driver also cannot go back to work until completely healed and still undergoing treatment. The car was moved from the towing service company shop to the storage facility of USAA (as of this writing, the vehicle is still there). In the police report, in the box for "Airbag Deployed", the officer encircled YES but did NOT specify it was for the passenger side ONLY. The insurance company declared the car NOT REPAIRABLE based on their inspections.
The contact owns a 2004 Honda Civic. The contact stated that the airbag warning light was illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact then received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V501000 (Air Bags). The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the recall was serviced; however, the airbag warning light remained illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact notified the dealer of the failure and he was informed that the warning light was related to a failure that was not associated with the recall. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
I have received many recall notices from Honda stating the air bag recall repair is free and a free rental car will provided for the day of the repair, however this is absolutely false! I have called the dealership in my area multiple times and am consistently told rental cars are not available and their ride shuttle is not available due to the pandemic. I called them before the pandemic and was told the same thing, that a rental car is not available for that service! they said I can sit in the waiting room for 4 hours (or more!) during the recall repair and that is it. I cannot miss work to resolve this, I have already done that in the past as this is not the first recall! I continue to receive notices in the mail telling me myself or my passengers could die if this problem isn't resolved, causing so much anxiety, and yet I cannot get the repair scheduled unless I take an entire day off work, lose an entire day of pay and sit in their waiting room for hours (during a pandemic)! ocean Honda would not provide rental cars before the pandemic for this recall so I can't understand why I continue to receive these letters stating a free rental car is available for the day of the repair or longer - it is simply not the case! I have called and called and am met with rude call center agents telling me this is just the way it is, which makes the text in your letters outright lies. If I need to bring my car in for a recall and a free rental car is available as your letter states, please help me find a dealer who will honor the offer in the never ending recall notices that I receive or take me off of this mailing list so I do not have to continue to see these threats of serious injury or death to me or my passengers as they are causing too much stress and anxiety for me!
When I stoped at a stop sign, my airbag deployed, knocking me unconscious. I proceeded to hit a tree going at an accelerated speed. I was airlifted by helicopter to a trama hospital. I had 3 fractured ribs, a broken sternum, and 4 broken bones in my lower back. I freceived a call back on the passenger side airbag. This accident was because of fraud from takata, and Honda. My car should've been recalled.
Stevens creek Honda (san jose, ca) said they fixed the SRS light problem(09 Dec 2019) but it reappeared a few days later. Unclear whether they really fixed problem; continuing to work with american Honda motor co(case #10-214133 and stevens creeek Honda(dealer) to remedy airbag problem..
I received a safety recall alert on my Honda Civic air bags years ago. I took it in to my Honda dealer and they took care of the problem. I received a new safety recall alert today. The problem has been handled (see attached).
My Honda Civic had an air bag recall, which I took the car in for. About 2 months after the fix, my air bag light came on. I had it checked out at another shop and they reset my light. It come back on approximately every month. It seems to me that it is suspicious that I never had any such problem until the Honda dealer replaced the air bag. They refuse to address the problem and insist it is not there responsibility. Coincidence I don't think so. I would like to know if this is an ongoing issued with other Honda owners who have undergone this procedure
Takata recall. My airbag light came on and then I saw the recall. My model should be recalled as well. Also exterior lighting is very dull both of these have been previously recalled. I was in park, started my car and the airbag light came on. Scanner says it's the inflator

I took our Honda into the Honda dealer for an airbag recall. They changed the airbag on Oct 20 2016. After a few days the airbag light came on. They did a scan and now they say the seat belt on the driver side needs to be replaced. About $700. I am seeing thru google searches that this seems to be an ongoing problem after the airbag is replaced. As this is a safety issue and seems to be an ongoing Honda problem I am thinking they should rectify problem or install original airbag back to fix. As this was a car only driven 5 to 6 months a year and then stored for the rest now that we want to sell we need to get fixed
Takata recall during a January snowfall and freeze, I was traveling in the middle lane of the highway at approximately 50-60 miles per hour, with the speed of traffic. A car approximately 7-8 car lengths ahead of me began to break and I did too. I was breaking when my car began to fishtail and I was able to maintain control of the car for 2-3 seconds before hitting a patch of ice and spinning into the highway concrete median. My car did not hit any other vehicles before hitting the median on the driver side front and hood. I estimate that I was traveling over 40 miles an hour. The car then spun around and hit the back drivers side and then spun again to facing forward. My concern is that the airbags, which were replaced in the takata recall a few years ago did not go off. The car was considered totaled and was donated.
On Monday, March 11, 2019, the "airbag warning" (red colored) light that depicts a deployed airbag in front of a driver (passenger?) in a front seat, appeared as I was driving (and not at the time I started my car's engine) on a paved road, normal road conditions, driving around 40 mph; I was not braking or making sharp turns. My Honda manual states that this symbol means that either the airbag(s) or the seatbelt mechanism is not working properly. With respect to the airbag, it states that upon a car accident, the air bag may not properly work; and therefore, I should have my airbag(s) inspected by a Honda dealer as soon as possible. I also have side airbags in my car. My seatbelt seems to be working fine, so I'm not sure if/how this warning could apply to my seatbelt. I had the driver's side airbag replaced I believe in 2016 or 2017; my paperwork is in storage, however upon your request, I will locate the information. I heard and read today about the takata bag recall on about 1.2 million Honda cars from around 2002 to 2016. I entered my VIN number into your system and it does not indicate another recall on the airbag I already had replaced; I seem to remember that the replaced airbag I received around 2017 was not a takata, was another brand. Perhaps this warning light is about the passenger's airbag? nevertheless, this airbag and seatbelt warning light does concern me. Thank you in advance for your help.
