2009 Honda Civic

TAKATA RECALL JULY 06, 2019 ABOUT A YEAR AGO MY AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT IT TURNED OFF IMMEDIATELY. IT NEVER CAME BACK ON UNTIL RECENTLY AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS LIT ON THE DASH. MY VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE AIRBAG CODE I GET WHEN I SCAN THE VEHICLE IS A "CODE 33-10 OPEN IN THE LEFT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG FIRST INFLATOR." AIRBAGS IN VEHICLES SHOULD NOT GO BAD FOR NO REASON ESPECIALLY CURTAIN AIRBAGS. THIS AIRBAG WENT BAD (DEFECTIVE). I WENT ONLINE AND I SAW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE ISSUES WITH THE SAME ISSUES AS I DO ON HONDA VEHICLES. I WAS ABOUT TO SELL MY CAR AND NOW THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME, THEN I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SELL MY VEHICLE. MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC HAD 115,000 MILES WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT FIRST CAME ON IN THE DASH. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE THAT SOMEONE LOOKS INTO THIS MATTER. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THANK YOU.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE DRIVER WAS DRIVING ABOUT 40-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE REAR-ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THERE WAS NO POLICE REPORT FILED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED CHEST PAIN AND WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE. THE OTHER TWO PASSENGERS SUSTAINED CONTUSIONS FROM THE SEAT BELTS AND REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND WAS TOWED TO AN AUTO BODY SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR WAS DAMAGED AND SENSED THAT THE AIR BAG DID DEPLOY. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG AND THE SEAT BELT WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. THE SEAT BELT WAS REPLACED. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR ALSO NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ANOTHER INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR THE AIR BAG SENSOR REPAIR. THE CONTACT STATED THAT EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED THE OWNER RETAINED OWNERSHIP OF THE VEHICLE AND WAS ABLE TO DO THE REPAIRS WITH THE SETTLEMENT AMOUNT FROM THE INSURANCE COMPANY. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND LEFT MESSAGES BUT THE CONTACT WAS NOT CALLED BACK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000.

THE AIR BAG FACTORY MESSED UP AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF OPENED AND CAN HURT OR KILL THE PASSENGERS. THE DEPARTMENT OF MOTOR VEHICLES LEFT US A NOTE TO RECEIVE A FREE REPAIR. MY NUMBER IS [XXX] AND MY NAME IS [XXX] AND WHEN YOU CALL PLEASE SPEAK SPANISH INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *CC *TR

2009 HONDA CIVIC NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT. IN FEB 2019 HE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. FRONT AIRBAGS WERE PREVIOUSLY REPLACED UNDER TAKITA RECALL. I WAS TOLD THE PASSENGER SEAT SIDE AIRBAG HAD TO BE REPLACED FOR "A PART THAT JUST FAILS OVER TIME" AND WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I PAID $1100 TO HAVE IT REPLACED. TWO MONTHS LATER AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AGAIN AND I FEAR IT IS NOW THE DRIVER SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG THAT HAS FAILED AND I WILL HAVE TO PUT ANOTHER $1100 INTO A CAR FOR FAILURE OF A SAFETY PART. THE CAR HAS 112,000 MILES AND I JUST PAID AN ADDITIONAL $1400 FOR REAR BREAKS, SHOCKS, ETC., WHICH I CONSIDER ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I COULD HAVE PUT $3600 DOWN ON A NEW CAR. NOW I AM ALREADY INTO THIS CAR FOR $2500 AND FIXING THE AIRBAG IS NON-NEGOTIABLE. IT NEEDS TO BE DONE. I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO KNOW HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING SIDE AIRBAG ISSUES WITH HONDA VEHICLES. ALSO, THE PAINT IS PEELING OFF THE VEHICLE! STARTED PEELING 6 MONTHS AFTER THE WARRANTY WAS UP SO HONDA NOT RESPONSIBLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT FULLY DEPLOY. NO OTHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT PASSENGER RECEIVED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, A LOUD POPPING SOUND WAS HEARD AND SMOKE SUDDENLY APPEARED FROM UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT WAS LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BELT WOULD NOT OPERATE AND THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (MOTORCARS HONDA, 2953 MAYFIELD RD., CLEVELAND HEIGHTS, OH) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SRS MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG TO ERRONEOUSLY DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000. *TT*JB

TAKATA RECALL: NO NOTICE EVER RECEIVED! OUR 2009 HONDA CIVIC WAS PURCHASED BY US IN SEPTEMBER OF 2008, AND OUR PHONE NUMBER AND PHYSICAL ADDRESS HAVE NOT CHANGED IN THE 10 YEARS SINCE THEN. AS OF TODAY, MAY 7, 2018, A CALL TO HONDA OF AMERICA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER STILL ASSOCIATES BOTH OUR PHONE NUMBER AND ADDRESS WITH THIS VEHICLE. THE WASHINGTON POST (4/23/18) QUOTES HONDA OF AMERICA EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT RICK SCHOSTEK AS SAYING, 'WE'RE GOOD AT REPAIRING VEHICLES, BUT FINDING AND CONVINCING CUSTOMERS OF OLDER MODEL VEHICLES TO COMPLETE RECALLS, NOW THAT HAS PROVED A DIFFICULT CHALLENGE.' IS HE IMPLYING THAT WE WERE NOTIFIED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED? WE NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION. HONDA HAS OUR PHYSICAL ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER, EMAIL, AND THE LOCAL DEALER STILL SENDS REGULAR NOTICES TO THAT SAME EMAIL ADDRESS. THE VEHICLE TITLE WAS SWITCHED TO OUR SON'S NAME ABOUT 5 YEARS AGO. HE LIVES A COUPLE OF MILES FROM US, AND HE HAS NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION EITHER. SO HOW DID WE FIND OUT THAT THE CAR'S AIRBAGS WERE RECALLED? A LAW FIRM SENT A POSTCARD TO HIS HOME ASKING HIM TO JOIN IN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST HONDA OF AMERICA. GUESS IT WASN'T SO HARD TO FIND THE CAR'S OWNER IF UNSOLICITED ATTORNEYS CAN FIND THEM!

TAKATA RECALL. MY COMPLAIN IS THE HONDA MANAGER 'JOSE DOMINGUEZ ' IS NOT HANDLING THINGS PROFESSIONALLY. I MADE A APPOINTMENT WITH A HONDA REPRESENTATIVE BECAUSE I HAVE A RECALL ON MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC. I MADE THE APPOINTMENT WITH HER AND SHE TOLD ME SHE'D BE ABLE TO GET ME A CAR TO USE BECAUSE A SHUTTLE WOULDN'T WORK. I SHOW UP ON MY APPOINTMENT DATE MARCH 12 AT 7:30. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T GIVE ME A CAR AS I WAS UNDER 21. I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT NO ONE COMMUNICATED WITH ME THAT YOU HAD TO BE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OF AGE. SO I WAS VERY UPSET AS I HAD TO WAKE UP EARLY WHEN IT COULD'VE BEEN AVOIDED IF I GOT ASKED THE RIGHT QUESTIONS. SECOND COMPLAINT, JAMES DOMINGUEZ (SANTA FE HONDA MANAGER) WANTS ME TO COME WHEN I'M WORKING TO BRING IN MY CAR BUT I CANNOT DO THAT BECAUSE I HAVE TO STAY ON THE JOB SITE. I EXPLAINED THAT TO HIM. HE SAYS, 'THAT'S YOUR FAULT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO BRING IT IN'. I ONLY HAVE SUNDAYS AVAILABLE, WHICH I TOLD HIM, BUT HE SAID HE CAN'T ACCOMMODATE ME. SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS AIR BAG RECALL BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE TIME TO TAKE IT IN.

TAKATA RECALL. BUEN DA ESTIMADOS, QUIERO SABER SI A MI AUTO LE CORRESPONDE EL CAMBIO DE LAS BOLSAS DE AIRE TAKATA, YA QUE NO LOGRO COMUNICARME CON LA CONCECIONARIA CABALLITO AUTOMOTORES. HE ENVIADO UN MAIL CON LA CONSULTA TAMBIEN A ELLOS POR QUE ME ENTERE POR LOS MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIN EN EL DA DE AYER 20/02/2018. LUEGO DE TRANSCURRIDOS 9 AOS.
