Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)Steering wheel airbag cover gets extremely hot after driving, was told this is a serious safety concern.
There have been multiple airbag system warning lights on my Honda Fit over the past couple of months. Initially, the driver side airbag inflator warning illuminated and I was able to reset it. Now the passenger side inflator is setting off the warning and it won't reset.
TAKATA RECALL- I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, WHERE I REAR ENDED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALED, BUT MY AIRBAGS "FAILED TO DEPLOY", THEREFORE IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THEY ARE FAULTY AND THIS WAS NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE, PLEASE CAN YOU HELP ME BECAUSE MY VEHICLE IS NOT IN YOUR LIST OF "RECALLS" AND WHY NOT IF THIS OCCURRED TO ME???
REAR SEAT BELTS BECOME TWISTED AND WILL NOT RETRACT.
RECIEVED 2 RECALL NOTICES, ONE IN FEB 2016 (DRIVER SIDE), THE 2ND IN JULY 2016 (PASSENGER SIDE). THE 2ND NOTICE STATED TO AVOID PLACING PERSONS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER LATE JULY - AT OUR REQUEST THEY SUPPLIED A RENTAL CAR PENDING RECEIPT OF REPAIR PARTS. I HAVE NOW BEEN CONTACTED THAT REPAIR PARTS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE ONLY HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, AND THAT HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT CAR ONCE DRIVER SIDE IS REPAIRED, WITH NO FIRM ETA ON PARTS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA TO OPEN A CASE BUT WAS TOLD NOT TO EXPECT TO HEAR BACK FROM ANYONE ANYTIME SOON. SO I WILL BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS, AND THE BAND-AID SOLUTION IS TO NOT HAVE FULL USE OF MY VEHICLE FOR AN INDETERMINATE PERIOD OF TIME.
SEAT BELT BUCKLES IN CENTER REAR SEAT AND LEFT REAR SEAT ARE REVERSED. HONDA DEALER SAYS THAT HONDA DESIGNED THEM TO BE USED THIS WAY. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO BUCKLE.
