| I was driving like any other day on the freeway and my passenger airbag deployed for no apparent reason- there was no accident at all. luckily there was no one in the passenger seat. after contacting honda they said they would send a representative to the local dealership to check to take care of the repair but the honda dealership in el cerrito ca did not want to pay for the repair and wanted to charge full amount to fix it saying the car is out of warranty. i needed my car soon for my transportation so i went to my trusted mechanic to repair the airbag and he informed me it was not safe to drive becuase the driver's airbag could deploy at anytime which could result in a crash or injury or fatality. i would appreciate a full refund from honda for cost of the repair as it came out to be $3,374.68. this cost is very high and i am not responsible for this safety malfunction. this is a major safety issue and i am very upset that honda does not want to fix what could have possibly caused a person harm. thank you *tr | |||

| While my son was driving my vehicle, a 2005 honda accord ex-l, he was involved in a head-on crash in which he was injured and the vehicle received heavy damage. my son was taken to the hospital due to cervical spine, lumbar and chest injury. the vehicle had struck another vehicle at a speed of about 35 mph and the airbag failed to deploy. on the dashboard the airbag sign did light on, however, no airbag had deployed. the seat belt pre-tensioner had fried since the seat belt was locked and was not retracting in addition, the seat belt pre-tensioner had fries. i had contacted honda north america, and they reported there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and the vehicle behaved as it was suppose to. however, after contacting nhtsa, the representative stated with a 2005 honda accord, if the seat belt pre-tensioner fires, the airbag should fire simultaneously, who then suggested me to submit a claim to nhtsa. the vehicle did undergo repair authorized by the insurance company. the seat belt was replaced in addition to the airbag module and other associated items. however, the old items are not available. *jb | |||
