2012 Honda Civic complaints

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SIGN KEEPS COMING OUT TO TELL THE DRIVER THE AIRBAG IS DISABLED SOMETIMES WHEN THERE IS A PERSON WHO SITS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALSO RECEIVED A RECALL OF MONTHS AGO BUT THE DEALER KEEPS SAYING EVERYTHING IS FINE NO RECALL ON THE LIST. IT HAPPENED SINCE THE DAY I PURCHASED IN 2012 AND IT HAPPENS VERY OFTEN RECENTLY.

TAKATA RECALL...*BF UPDATED 9/19/18*JB

TAKATA RECALL

TAKATA RECALL - MY PASSENGER AIRBAG ALWAYS TURNS OFF AND GIVES ME AN ERROR OF THE PASSENGER AIR BAG "OFF" INDICATOR... WHETHER AN ADULT OR TEEN OVER 65 LBS IS SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I DIDN'T HAVE MONEY TO CHECK THIS ISSUE OUT WITH HONDA. THEY ALWAYS DO SOMETHING CRAZY TO MY CAR AND BREAK SOMETHING. AFRAID I'LL HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY TO GET SOMETHING CHECKED OUT AND I'LL HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY. THIS LIGHT GOES ON SEVERAL TIMES SO I CANNOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE. I REMEMBER IT OCCURRING ON THANKSGIVING DAY 2017 AND IT'S OCCURRED IN DECEMBER 2017.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LIGHT CONTINUES TO TURN ON AND OFF WHEN SOMEONE PUTS ON A SEAT BELT OR SITS IN THE BACK SEAT

MY CAR LITERALLY STOP WORKING OUT IF NONWHERE WHILE IT WAS IN MOTION DRIVING THROUGH AN AVENUE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE BATTERY, TRIED TO CHARGED IT AND I DID NOT WORK. TOWED IT TO THE MECHANIC, THEY CHANGED THE BATTERY AND THE ALTERNATOR, SPENT ABOUT 600 AND STILL DID NOT WORK. I ENDED UP TOWING MY CAR HOME FROM THE MECHANIC PLACE. I WAITED ABOUT A WEEK, TURNED MY CAR ON, AND IT STARTED WORKING PERFECT. I TOOK IT TO HONDA SHOP, THE RUN SOME TEST AND THEY SAID IT DOES NOT HAVE ANYTHING. A WEEK AGO IT DIED AGAIN, TRIED TO TURNED MY CAR ON AGAIN, AND IT WORK. I DO NOT TRUST MY CAR FOR DRIVING ANYMORE. I AM AFRAID IT WILL STOP WORKING OUT OF NON WHERE. I

TAKATA RECALL

UPON OCCASION, THIS MESSAGE APPEARS ON THE ALERT PANEL PASSENGER SIDE SIDE AIRBAG FAILED (YES THE WORD SIDE APPEARS TWICE) IT DOES NOT STAY ON LONG - USUALLY WHEN I RESTART THE CAR IT GOES AWAY. I HAVE NOT TAKEN A PICTURE OF THE ALERT. I HAVE ASKED A SERVICE REP (NON HONDA) ABOUT IT WHEN I HAVE TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. THE ALERT DOES STAY ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PUT IN MOTION. THE DATE I ENTERED BELOW FOR WHEN IT LAST OCCURRED IS AN ESTIMATE

TAKATA RECALL BOUGHT THIS CAR BRAND NEW FEB 16TH 2012 FROM DAY BOUGHT UP TO MARCH 23 2012 THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON. ON 3-23-2012 I HAD TO SLAM ON MY BRAKES THE LIGHT THEN WENT OUT. REPORTED TO HONDA THEY DID NOTHING. MY 31 YR OLD DAUGHTER IS 5FT 2IN IN HEIGHT & WEIGHTS 105 ALL SUITABLE REQUIREMENTS FOR BEING IN FRONT SEAT. EVERY TIME SHE IS IN MY CAR THE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON & OFF WHILE SHE IS SITTING STILL & IN WHAT IS CONSIDERED A SAFE POSITION . ALSO REPORTED IT TO HONDA WITH NO CONCERN FROM THEM. FROM DAY ONE I FELT THE AIRBAG HAD A PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD THINGS IN FRONT SEAT THAT SHOULD HAVE TURNED OFF AIRBAG, BUT THE AIRBAG WILL TURN ON & OFF IT SHOULD BE OFF. I CAN BE DRIVING IN THE CITY OR ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE LIGHT GOES ON & OFF. I AT THIS TIME HAVEN'T RECEIVED A RECALL, BUT LEARNED HONDA IS BEING SUITED FOR FAULTY AIRBAGS. THANK YOU [XXX]. I REALLY LOVE MY CIVIC. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

I HAVE EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS FOR OVER A PERIOD OF 3 MONTHS, SIMILAR TO THOSE LISTED BY OTHER HONDA OWNERS ONLINE. MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED ON 11/27/2017 ,10/6/2017,10/9/17 AND IN OTHER SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHEN OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND ITS INABILITY TO PERFORM IN A SAFE MATTER HAS GREATLY TROUBLED ME CONCERNING MY SAFETY AND THE SAFETY PUBLIC. THE FOLLOWING OCCURRED ON THAT DAY, WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN CROSSING LANES OF TRAFFIC AND CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN THE GAS PEDAL WAS BEING PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. THE CAR ALSO LAUNCHES FORWARD WHILE IN THE DRIVE GEAR OR ON REVERSE AFTER IT HAS BEEN PARKED FOR SEVERAL HOURS. ON OTHER OCCASIONS , WHEN PULLING INTO OR OUT OF THE GARAGE/DRIVEWAY THE CAR CLUNKED AND LURCHED AHEAD. ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE CAR HAS UNATTENDED GAS CONTROL ISSUE, THE CAR ALSO REACHES TOP SPEEDS OF OVER 37 MPH WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE GAS PEDAL ONCE. THIS NOW HAPPENS DAILY, I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TELL ME THIS IS A NORMAL FUNCTION OF THE CAR WHEN I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE. I HAVE OWNED SEVERAL CARS AND I KNOW THIS IS NOT NORMAL. I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE. I HAVE REACHED OUT TO THE MANUFACTURER AND I FEEL THEY KEEP GIVING ME THE RUN ?AROUND. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT, BUT THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE ALSO CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER (AMERICAN HONDA) REQUESTING A FIELD ENGINEER HA

TAKATA RECALL. I GOT INTO A MINOR ACCIDENT WHERE I HIT SOMEONE FROM THE BACK WITH NO DAMAGE TO MY OR THEIR VEHICLE HOWEVER MY AIRBAG CAME OUT.

WE BOUGHT THE CAR,WE BEEN DRIVING IT NORMALLY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON EVERY TIME WE START THE CAR FOR THE PAST WEEK

I RECEIVED A NOTICE THAT TK HOLDINGS INC. FILED FOR CHAPTER 11 BUT IM NOT SURE WHAT I NEED TO DO TO GET NEW AIR BAGS PLACED INTO MY VEHICLE. SINCE THIS NOTICE OF DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM HONDA ABOUT REPLACING MY AIRBAGS,I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NEXT PLEASE HELP. SINCERELY,[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. THY FRONT OF THY CAR WAS CRUSHED. MY CAR IS DEEMED A LOSS AND TOTAL . THE AIRBAGS NEVER WENT OFF .I WAS DRIVING AN STRUCK A BUCK KILLING HIM INSTANTLY. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT AND HAVE SUFFERED A CONCUSSION FROM THE ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL: AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AS CAR WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVE WAY WITH A SOFT TOUCH/CONTACT TO A TRASH BIN. CAR WAS NOT MOVING AT A SPEED OF NO MORE THAN 3 MILES PER HOUR! AT THE SAME TIME THE SEAT BELT IT LOCKED IN AN EXTENDED POSITION. THERE MOST DEFINITELY IS A DEFECT IN THIS AIR BAG AT NO EXPLAINABLE MANNER CAN THIS BE JUSTIFIED AT A REASON TO HAVE AN AIRBAG DEPLOY AT LESS THAN 5 MILE PER HOUR!

RECENTLY, I STARTED NOTICING MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCING A SLIGHT LOSS OF POWER WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, AND A TENDENCY TO OVER-REV, AS WELL AS SPOTTING IN MY PARKING SPACE. THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST, OCCURRING MAINLY IN THE MORNING. AFTER TWO DAYS, I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC TO TAKE A LOOK, AND AFTER CLEANING THE UNDERCARRIAGE, HE TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE. UPON ENTERING A ROUNDABOUT, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL DRIVING POWER. HE INSPECTED IT AGAIN, AND FOUND THAT THE FRONT LEFT DRIVE SHAFT HAD SLIPPED OUT OF THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HOUSING, ALLOWING ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION FLUID TO LEAK OUT. WHILE SHOPPING FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS, I FOUND MENTION OF THIS EXACT PROBLEM BEING REPORTED IN THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND YEAR OF VEHICLES, REQUIRING A RECALL.

I STARTED MY PACKED CAR BUT REALIZED THAT THE STEERING WAS SO STIFF/HARD THAT L COULD NOT STEER IT ,AFTER WHICH IT PRODUCED A SHARP SOUND AND L LOST CONTROL OVER THE CAR .I PUMPED MY FOOT BREAKS BUT TO AVAIL ,I MANAGED AND GOT TO A NEIGHBOR DRIVEWAY WHERE I PUT IT ON PACK AND RAISE THE HAND BREAKS .I HAD A WARNING MESSAGE SAYING THAT L SHOULD CHECK POWER STEERING SYSTEM .I TOLLED THE CAR TO A MECHANICS AND THE GUY TOLD ME THAT HE DIDNOT NOT SEE ANY PROBLEM .WHILE ON THE DRIVEWAY ,I STARTED THE CAR AGAIN BUT IT WILL MOVING ON IT OWN ,SO L HAD THREE PEOPLE WHO CAME AND PUSHED FROM BEHIND IN ORDER FOR ME TO PACK IT STRAIGHT. I ALMOST THE HIT THE LADY'S CAR ON HER DRIVEWAY .MY CAR IS STILL WITH THE MECHANIC.

RECENTLY THE ELECTRIC POWER STEERING SYSTEM INDICATOR STARTED TO TURN ON WHILE DRIVING IN THE STREET, WHICH STAYED ON (INCLUDING IN HIGHWAY) UNTIL THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. THIS HAPPENED TWICE WITHOUT NOTICEABLE PROBLEMS FOR THE STEERING WHEEL. LAST WEEK, THE INDICATOR TURNED ON AGAIN ALONG WITH A MESSAGE "CHECK THE POWER STEERING SYSTEM" WHILE DRIVING IN THE LOCAL WAY, AND AT THE SAME TIME THE STEERING WHEEL WAS STIFF AND UNABLE TO MAKE ANY TURN. TO GET RID OF THIS PROBLEM, I HAD TO TURN OFF AND ON THE ENGINE REPEATEDLY. THIS PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE. I CHECKED THE FUSE FOR EPS (ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING), WHICH LOOKED FINE. I CALLED SEVERAL AUTO SERVICE SHOPS AND THEY SAID THIS PROBLEM IS WEIRD AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO HELP. ALTHOUGH THE CAR IS STILL DRIVABLE, I'M VERY WORRIED ABOUT ITS SAFETY IN DRIVING, ESPECIALLY IN HIGH SPEEDS. I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS AN USED ONE FROM A DEALER 3 YEARS AGO. ALL WARRANTIES HAVE EXPIRED. CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO OPEN SAFETY RECALLS.

THE VEHICLE DISPLAY A MESSAGE STATING, "PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS OFF" BOTH AT REST AND IN MOTION. THE MESSAGE APPEARS AND REMAINS ON FOR A FEW SECONDS AND THEN DISAPPEARS. THE HONDA SERVICE TEAM IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A FAILURE AS THEY FEEL IT IS WORKING AS DESIGNED. IF A PERSON MOVES WHILE SEATED IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, THIS MESSAGE APPEARS. PER A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE, THIS IS A USER ERROR AS THEY EXPECT A PERSON WILL SIT ENTIRELY STILL FOR THE WHOLE RIDE. ANY MOVEMENT CAN CAUSE THAT MESSAGE TO APPEAR.

I WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR TRIED TO ACCELERATE EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS FIRM ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAD TO "STAND" ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND I IMMEDIATELY SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE ENGINE REACHED A VERY HIGH RPM UNTIL I JIGGLED THE ACCELERATION PEDAL. THEN THE ENGINE ACTED NORMALLY. THE ECO WAS NOT ENGAGED AND THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED. MILEAGE IS 40,078 MILES.

THE CHECK TPMS SYSTEM WARNING LIGHT COME ON AND OFF IRREGULARLY. SOMETIMES FOR A FEW DAYS THEN OFF FOR A DAY, THEN ON AGAIN. TIRES AND PRESSURES ARE FINE. NO LEAKS.

IT WAS AROUND 30000 MILES WHEN THE "CHECK AIRBAG SYSTEM" STARTS FLASHING EVERY NOW AND THEN. SOMETIMES IT TELLS ME THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF. I DON'T KNOW WHY AND MY CAR NEVER GOT INTO ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT NOR A CRASH. IT JUST KEEPS ON BLINKING FLUKE EVERY 2 MINUTES AND IT'S REALLY ANNOYING. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME AND IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IM MOVING OR NOT.

GOT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON AND IT SAYS SOMETHING TO DO WITH FLUKE TANK.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A HIGHWAY (THOUGH SLOWLY, AS THERE WAS TRAFFIC), WHEN I NOTICED SMOKE FROM UNDER THE HOOD ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. I PULLED OVER, GOT OUT OF THE CAR, AND WENT TO OPEN THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON. AS I WENT TO OPEN IT, I SAW FLAMES, SO I LEFT IT DOWN, GRABBED SOME BELONGINGS, GOT FAR AWAY, AND CALLED 911. WITHIN SECONDS, THE FLAMES ENGULFED THE ENTIRE FRONT END OF THE CAR. MY CAR WAS WELL-MAINTAINED WITH REGULAR SERVICE. THERE WERE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD INDICATING THAT ANYTHING WAS AMISS. I DID NOT HEAR ANY UNUSUAL SOUNDS PRECEDING THE FLAMES, AND THE CAR HAD BEEN HANDLING THE SAME AS IT ALWAYS DID.

WHINING NOISE IN FRONT LEFT OF MOTOR WHEN TAKING OFF IN FIRST GEAR. READ MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES.

THE TPMS SYSTEM WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE CAR HAS BRAND NEW TIRES AND COSTS $99 TO SCAN THE PROBLEM.

I WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET AND HAD A VERY LOW FRONT IMPACT CAR ACCIDENT. I WAS AT A STOP SIGN. I BARELY TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE AND PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. A CAR CAME OUT OF NO WHERE AND I HIT THEM. I WAS GOING 5-7MPH, MY FRONT STEERING WHEEL AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD HAVE AT SUCH A SLOW SPEED. THE DRIVER AIRBAG BROKE MY RIGHT LOWER ARM. IT BROKE BOTH BONES AND TORE A NERVE WHICH REQUIRED SURGERY. I NOW HAVE TWO PLATES AND MANY SCREWS IN MY ARM WITH NERVE DAMAGE. I HAVE NO FEELING IN PARTS OF MY THUMB AND FIRST TWO FINGERS AND HALF OF MY KNUCKLE AREA IS ALSO NUMB. THIS ACCIDENT HAPPENED ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2016. IT IS THE MIDDLE OF DECEMBER AND I AM STILL TOO SCARED TO DRIVE. I STILL CAN'T USE MY ARM BECAUSE IT STILL HASN'T HEALED. I HAVE SUFFERED PHYSICALLY AND EMOTIONALLY BECAUSE OF THE AIR BAG BREAKING MY ARM. IF THE AIR BAG DIDN'T DEPLOY, I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN HURT AT ALL. COULD THERE HAVE BEEN SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY AIRBAGS? A RECALL?? I WOULD HATE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE.

ELECTRIC POWER STEERING MODULE FAILED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED (STRAIGHT). EPS WARNING CAME ON. EPS RE-ACTIVATED 1 HOUR LATER BUT FAILED AGAIN AFTER VEHICLE WAS SWITCHED-OFF AND RESTARTED. EPS WORKING AGAIN AFTER 14 HRS.

I WAS IN A STOP AND GO TRAFFIC THE VAN IN FRONT MADE A SUDDEN STOP I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKE BUT HIT THE VAN. IMPACT WAS BIG NO MAJOR DAMAGE BUT SEAT BELT WAS LOCKED AND I CAN SMELL NEAR AIR BAG I HAVE CHECK AIR BAG SYSTEM SIGN ON BUT AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY

RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE, AND IT SAYS THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT ABLE TO PERFORM THE FIX IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT SAYS TO AVOID PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE. I AM REQUESTING INFORMATION ON WHAT TO DO, BECAUSE IT IS IMPERATIVE FOR MY JOB TO HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY CAR. NO INCIDENT HAS TAKEN PLACE INVOLVING A MALFUNCTION, BUT I WISH TO RESOLVE OR KNOW MY OPTIONS AND LIMITATIONS MORE THOROUGHLY REGARDING THIS ISSUE. *TR

THREE DIFFERENT TIME, THE CAR WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT AND WOULD NOT START THE NEXT MORNING. IT HAD TO BE TOWED. I WAS TOLD THAT RODENTS HAD CHEWED THROUGH THE SOY BASED WIRING INSULATION IN MULTIPLE AREAS, INCLUDING THE FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR, THE FUEL HOSE. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT OFFER ME ANY CONCRETE SOLUTION TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN AND I FEAR A PROBLEM MIGHT OCCUR WHILE I AM ACTUALLY DRIVING.

I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON THE STREET FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES WITH MY TWO KIDS. I HAD STEPPED ON MY BRAKES A FEW TIMES AND EVERYTHING SEEM TO WORK. SUDDENLY, I NEEDED TO SLOW DOWN AND PRESSED ON MY BRAKE AND THE BRAKE WAS HARD WHERE I COULDN'T STEP DOWN ON IT. IT SEEMED LIKE IT GOT STUCK. I KEPT PRESSING ON IT AND IT DID NOT WORK. I STARTED ZIG ZAGGING BACK AND FORTH ON THE ROAD TRYING TO GET THE CAR TO STOP. I WAS TRYING MY BEST TO CONTROL THE CAR SO I WOULDN'T RUN INTO A HOUSE OR ANOTHER CAR. I SHIFTED THE CAR TO PARK AND THE CAR DID NOT STOP. ALL THIS TIME I KEPT TRYING TO STEP ON THE BRAKE AND NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN. FINALLY, MY LAST RESORT I PULLED THE HAND BRAKE AND THE CAR FINALLY STOPPED. MY CAR GOT VERY DAMAGED.

CHECK TPMS SYSTEM WARNING KEPT COMING BACK AFTER SENSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE.

UPON FINISHING MY BANKING TRANSACTION I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE. THE ENGINE SLOWED TO A NORMAL IDLE I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE FOUR DAYS LATER; THE DEALER FOUND NOTHING ABNORMAL.

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS DRIVING HONDA CIVIC 2012 ON A FRONTAGE ROAD WITH MY WIFE SITTING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT . UNFORTUNATELY, OTHER CAR CRASHED IN MY HONDA CIVIC 2012 AND DRIVER, PASSENGER SIDE AIR BEGS GOT DEPLOYED. SURPRISINGLY, I GOT INJURY MARKS ON MY HAND FROM THE AIR BAG. I SUSPECT MOST LIKELY THERE WAS SOME FAULT IN MY AIR BAGS WHICH RESULTED IN INJURY MARKS ON MY HAND. I DO SEE THAT 2012 HONDA CIVIC CARS ARE NOT PART OF TAKATA RECALL BUT I SUSPECT SOME OF 2012 HONDA CIVIC CARS INCLUDING MINE COULD HAVE FAULTY AIR BAGS INSTALLED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. PLEASE TAKE NEEDFUL ACTIONS.

TAKATA RECALL: I BROUGHT MY 2012 HONDA CIVIC LX INTO TODAY 6/9/2016 IN REGAL HONDA IN LAKELAND, FLORIDA TO HAVE THE AIRBAG PASSENGER SEAT SENSORS REPLACED, THE PARTS REPLACED WERE: PAD, R, F, 81127, OPDS UNIT 81334 AND C-CLIP SE 90600. PLUS A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO I HAD THE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED FOR $49.95. THE SYMPTOM WAS THE AIRBAG SENSOR WAS BEING DISPLAYED.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT A TAKATA RECALL IS, BUT PER HONDA'S WEBSITE I HAVE NO RECALLS. I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT ON 5/21 AROUND 2PM. I WAS DRIVING ON A STRAIGHT CITY ROAD CLOSE TO GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 25MPH. THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRIVING NEXT TO ME "DIDN'T SEE ME" AS SHE TURNED INTO MY LANE. SHE SCRAPED THE WHOLE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR THEN HER CAR LODGED INTO MY CAR NEAR WHERE THE DOOR & FRONT PART OF THE CAR MEET ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CAR HIT RIGHT NEAT THE SIDE AIRBAG, BUT NONE OF THE AIRBAGS WENT OFF. THAT IS WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT. WHY DID NONE OF THE AIRBAGS GO OFF?
