2004 Honda Accord Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL. WHY WAS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD NEVER INCLUDED IN ONE OF THE THREE RECALLS (15V320000, 14V700000, 15V370000) AFFECTING THE 2004 HONDA ACCORD? I PREVIOUSLY ASKED HONDA BUT THEY WOULD NOT RESPOND. WHAT IS THE TECHNICAL EXPLANATION WHY MY ACCORD WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THESE RECALLS.? I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND HAVE NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS. IS THE CAR SAFE TO DRIVE?

IN SPRING 2014 I CONTACTED US GOVT NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION. AT WHICH TIME THEY INDICATED THAT HONDA HAD AN OPEN INVESTIGATION FOR AIR BAGS AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYING. THE LADY ON THE PHONE TOLD ME TO CALL HONDA AND MAKE I REPORT WHICH I DID. HONDA HAD ME CONTACT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHICH INDICATED THAT IT WOULD BE $395 TO INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. I GOT BACK OF HOLD OF HONDA & TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT PAY FOR THEM TO INVESTIGATE THEIR AIR BAG ALMOST KILLING MY DAUGHTER, WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILST DRIVING, NOT HITTING ANYTHING. FORTUNATELY FOR HER, IT WAS A SLOW SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURRED AND SHE WAS NOT HURT. TODAY I STOPPED AT HONDA CORTLAND OH APOSTILAKAS, I DIDN'T GET A WRITTEN ESTIMATE. HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE ME OVER $1600 IN MATERIALS AND AN INDETERMINATE AMOUNT OF WORK HOURS TO PERFORM THE LABOR. AIR BAG DISABLES THE HEATER AND OTHER FUNCTIONS ON THE CAR, THUS IT NEEDS REPLACED OR PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO USE MY CAR AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL OF AIR BAGS. HOW CAN I KNOW IF MY CAR IS IN DANGER OF KILLING ME OR MY PRECIOUS GRANDDAUGHTERS IF MY CAR IS IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY? PLEASE ADVISE ON ANY NEW DEVELOPMENTS. I HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACED ON A RECALL ALREADY, BUT HAVE HEARD THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE REPLACEMENTS.

AIRBAG LIGHT ON WITHOUT ANY ACCIDENT. I REPORT TO DEALER THEY SAID IS MY CAR IDENTIFICATION NUMB NOT INCLUDE.

TAKATA RECALL ON JULY 19, 2016 MY WIFE WAS RETURNING FROM A LUNCHEON ABOUT 2PM ON HWY 111 ON A SUNNY, DRY AFTERNOON FOLLOWING TRAFFIC WITHIN SPEED LIMITS WHEN TO THE BEST OF HER RECOLLECTION THE AIR BIG EXPLODED CAUSING PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO MY WIFE. SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND RAN INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE' THIS ACCIDENT RESULTED IN THE TOTAL LOSS OF THE ACCORD. ABOUT SIX OR EIGHT WEEKS AGO I TOOK THE ACCORD IN TO THE HONDA DEALER IN CATHEDRAL CITY AND REQUESTED THAT THE AIR BAG BE INSPECTED AS A WAS AWARE OF A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE IN MAY 2016. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AIR BAG WAS SAFE AND NOTHING WAS DONE ON THE CAR. I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL WORK ON THIS AIR BAG (REPLACE PARTS) SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE BY THE DEALER AND THIS ACCIDENT WOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED.

TAKATA RECALL: MY CAR WAS PURCHASED IN COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS AND SPENT ITS FIRST ELEVEN YEARS IN AUSTIN, TEXAS WHERE THE HEAT AND MOISTURE WAS PREVALENT AS ALLEGED IN THE REPORTS OF CAUSES FOR FAILURES OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS YET MY CAR IS NEVER LISTED IN THE RECALL LISTS. AND WITH THE RECENT URGINGS OF THE NHTSA FOR OLDER VEHICLES FROM THAT REGION BEING AMONG THOSE IN MOST URGENT NEED OF HAVING THE AIRBAGS REPLACED I AM CONSIDERING HAVING THEM REPLACED ANYWAY AT MY OWN EXPENSE. MY QUESTIONS ARE: WILL I BE REIMBURSED WHEN MY CAR IS FINALLY RECALLED AND WHY ISN'T MY CAR INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS?

"TAKATA RECALL" MY LOCAL PAPER STATED THAT YOU HAVE DECLARED ALL HONDA AIR BAGS TO BE UNSAFE, PARTICULARLY THOSE FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORDS LOCATED IN THE HIGH HEAT AND HUMIDITY ASSOCIATED WITH FLORIDA. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY CAR IS "COMPLETELY SAFE". I DON'T FEEL SAFE AND WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT NHTSA IS DOING ABOUT THIS SITUATION. THANKS

TAKATA RECALL ,I GOT IN CONTACT WITH HONDA CORP ABOUT RECALL ON AIRBAGS AND HONDA TOLD ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ON THE RECALL ,I TOLD THEM THAT MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO HAVE IT FIXED AT MY EXPENSE ,SO I DID NOT NOT TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL AND LIKE A MONTH AFTER I CONTACTED THEM ,MY WIFE WAS HIT IN THE FRONT END OF CAR AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED AND THE ACCIDENT WAS NOT NOT EVEN A HARD COMPACT ACCIDENT ,I'M GLAD NO ONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR IN THE ACCIDENT ,ITS VERY SAD TO SEE SEE A COMPANY LIKE HONDA CORP ,NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THERE ACTIONS AND PUT PEOPLES LIFE IN DANGER

I JUST TRIED TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE TODAY AND THE DEALER DECLINED IT DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE. I IN FACT HAD ALL THE AIRBAGS REPLACED IN SEPTEMBER 2016 DUE TO A RECALL NOTICE AND NEVER EVEN KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS 2004 RECALL! THANKS HONDA!!! DO THE NEW AIRBAGS NOT TAKE PRECEDENCE OVER THIS RECALL? CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE THIS OFF OF THE NHTSA WEBSITE SO I CAN SELL MY CAR?

NOTHING

TAKATA RECALL: I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH MY HONDA ACCORD HIT A TREE AT ABOUT 40 MPH AFTER SLIDING OFF OF THE HIGHWAY DUE TO ICE AND THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY! THE HOOD WAS BLOWN OFF AND THERE WAS ENGINE DAMAGE, BUT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE AIR BAGS WERE RECENTLY REPLACED BY BROWN'S HONDA IN ARLINGTON DUE TO THE "TAKATA RECALL". THEY CLEARLY EITHER DIDN'T REPLACE THEM OR DIDN'T INSTALL THEM CORRECTLY.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF I HAVE TAKATA AIR BAGS IN MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD AND WHY IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I WROTE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE IN TORRANCE, CA AND ALL THEY WOULD TELL ME IN A PHONE CALL IS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND TO CONTACT THE NHTSA FOR INFORMATION AS TO WHY MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD IS NOT IN THE RECALL. DOES MY VEHICLE HAVE TAKATA AIR BAGS? IF IT DOES WHY IS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD NOT INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL? HONDA SAID I SHOULD TAKE MY VEHICLE TO AN AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALER AND PAY TO HAVE IT INSPECTED IF I WANT TO KNOW WHAT KIND OF AIR BAGS ARE IN MY VEHICLE. I SEE THAT 2004 HONDA ACCORDS ARE INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF AFFECTED VEHICLES FOR THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL - WHY HAVE I NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL? I BOUGHT THE CAR NEW AND HAVE BEEN THE SOLE OWNER. IS MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD SAFE TO DRIVE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) BUT THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AFTER THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

2004 HONDA ACCORD. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALER FOR SIX WEEKS, BECAUSE THE MECHANIC ACCIDENTALLY STRIPPED A NUT ON THE WHEEL. THE AIR BAG RECALL WAS RECTIFIED. *JB

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA LISTS THE VEHICLE AS SUBJECT TO THE HONDA RECALL. HONDA CURRENTLY DOES NOT LIST THE VEHICLE AS SUBJECT TO THE RECALL. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN SOUTH FLORIDA, ALWAYS DRIVEN IN FLORIDA. THE SRS LIGHT IS CONTINUOUSLY ACTIVATED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS USED. LOCAL HONDA DEALER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HAS FAILED TO ACT. HONDA DEALER HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM NOTED ON THE VEHICLE'S SERVICE RECORD AS "PRIMARY ITEM CONCERN" IN JANUARY, 2013.

THOUGH 2004 HONDA ACCORDS ARE BEING RECALLED DUE TO DEADLY AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS, AND THOUGH HONDA WAS INITIALLY ADDING CARS TO THE RECALL LIST BY CUSTOMER REQUEST, HONDA HAS REFUSED TO ADD MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD TO THE VEHICLE RECALL LIST AND REPLACE ITS AIRBAGS. A SECOND 2004 HONDA ACCORD, THAT I PURCHASED THE SAME YEAR FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND LATER SOLD, IS ON THE RECALL LIST, WHICH ADDS TO MY VALID CONCERNS THAT HONDA'S RECALL LIST IS NOT COMPLETE OR ACCURATE, ESPECIALLY CONSIDERING HONDA HAS CONTINUED TO ADD NEW VIN NUMBERS TO THE RECALL LIST OVER THE PAST YEAR. ALTHOUGH I CALLED HONDA'S RECALL HOTLINE, THEY FAILED TO SHOW ANY CONCERN FOR MY PERSONAL SAFETY AND REFUSED TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS. HONDA HAS CAUSED MANY SENSELESS DEATHS BY REFUSING TO ADEQUATELY AND PROMPTLY ADDRESS THE AIRBAGS DEFECTS IN ITS CARS, AND IT IS UNFATHOMABLE TO ME THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE ON THEIR COURSE OF DEADLY APATHY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V700000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

THE SRS LIGHT OF MY 04 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN ON SINCE LATE 2011. SINCE IT'S A LONG DRIVE, I ADJUSTED THE POSITION OF MY DRIVER'S SEAT TO MAKE MYSELF COMFORTABLE. SOMEHOW, THE SRS LIGHT STARTED TO TURN ON AND IT HAS BEEN ON EVER SINCE, INDICATING THE AIRBAG MIGHT BE DEACTIVATED. I RESEARCHED ONLINE AND REALIZED IT'S A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE RELATED TO DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION SENSOR HARNESS. HONDA ANNOUNCED A SAFETY RECALL BACK IN JANUARY 2007 TO FIX THIS ISSUE FOR SOME VEHICLES OF CERTAIN MODELS. THE MODEL I HAVE WAS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL BUT NOT THE PARTICULAR VEHICLE I HAVE. I CONTACTED HONDA FOR EXPLANATION AND THEY INSISTED IT BE MY OWN RESPONSIBILITY TO GET THIS DIAGNOSED AND FIXED. MANY HONDA OWNERS INCLUDING MYSELF JUST NEVER RECEIVED ANY RECALL NOTICE THAT WE THINK WE DESERVE. RELATING THIS TO THE RECENT HONDA SCANDAL OF UNDER-REPORTING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE DIED IN HONDA VEHICLES, IT COULD BE A SIMILAR SCHEME OF PRACTICE OF UNDER ESTIMATING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. I FINALLY GOT A RECALL NOTICE SEVERAL WEEKS AGO REGARDING THE AIRBAG INFLATOR ISSUE AND I THOUGHT BOTH THE SRS AND INFLATOR ISSUES WOULD BE FIXED WITH A SINGLE SERVICE. I WAS WRONG AND THE DEALER ONLY TOOK CARE OF THE INFLATOR NOT THE SRS. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY IGNORED MY COMPLAINT ONCE AGAIN. I HOPE FEDERAL REGULATORS CAN INVESTIGATE THIS CASE AND I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE. LIFE COULD HAVE BEEN LOST DUE TO NON-OPENING HONDA AIRBAGS.I BELIEVE IT'S A BIGGER PROBLEM.

THE SECOND TIME THE STATED THAT THEY FINISHED THE RECALL, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON AND WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE AS WELL AS YOUR WEBSITE IT IS STILL LISTED AS INCOMPLETE. THE THIRD AND FINAL TIME SPOKE TO [XXX] (SERVICE MANAGER) AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HE WOULDN'T EVEN TALK TO ME OR HONOR THE APPOINTMENT. THEN CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AT 888-234-2138 FOR RECALL COMPLAINT AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT AND COULD NEVER GET ANYONE. ALWAYS BUSY OR UNAVAILABLE TO TAKE PHONE CALLS. TRIED FINDING AN EMAIL AS CONTACT INFO FOR HONDA DIRECTLY AND THERE WASN'T ONE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS A RECALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP WE ORIGINALLY BOUGHT IT FROM REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH ALWAYS SOME SORT OF AN EXCUSE OR LIE TO US STATING THAT IT WAS COMPLETED. THE RECALL AS OF NOW IS STILL INCOMPLETE. PLEASE ADVISE FURTHER. SINCERELY, CONCERNED VEHICLE OWNER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
