| I purchased my 2008 honda accord brand new and i have had no accidents. approximately 1 weeks ago my srs light remained on after starting my engine and has remained on since. i took my vehicle in for an inspection today at my local honda dealership and they told me that it detected a code in which there was an internal failure of the srs unit. this would require me to replace the unit at a cost of $402.78 as this was not covered under warranty. how can a vehicle that is 5 years old and no prior accidents already have a system failure regarding the airbags? i feel this is a safety issue, i have had no accident, the srs unit should carry a lifetime warranty. | |||

| Subject: sudden unintended acceleration at about 9:25 pm, on wednesday january 23, 2013 i was parked in the north parking lot of the vienna metro station, in fairfax, virginia, awaiting arrival of my wife. i had parked in the first parking space, across from the waiting area in front of the metro station entrance. when i saw my wife emerge from the entrance of the metro station, i started my car and shifted to drive. the engine suddenly revved up and the car lunged forward, accelerating at high speed and out of control. i remember reacting by applying the brakes with all my might and engaging the hand brake without much effect.the car lunged forward about 100 feet and hit a concrete barrier which smashed the front and engine and totaled the vehicle. luckily there were no other cars or pedestrians in the vicinity otherwise there would have been more severe consequences. when i regained consciousness, i had been transported to the fairfax hospital and had suffered severe trauma to the neck, throat, larynx and mouth area and was bleeding from a cut on the chin. two days of intense examination at the hospital and several follow-up medical exams found no evidence of any physical or medical condition that could have possibly contributed to the accident. it must be noted that i did not receive any citation for the accident from the fairfax police. *tr | |||

| With the car turned off the driver's side curtain airbag and seat airbag deployed after i shut the door. i can site at least 30 posts on nhtsa's website where this has happened and there is certain to be thousands more. this is a very expensive fix that neither american honda co. nor most insurance companies will not fix. those with the airbag problem are now driving around with deployed airbags due to a manufacturer defect that honda refuses to fix. i am hoping to join a class action lawsuit against honda because they have ignored this personal security concern. i would like to see nhtsa take a stance on this. *tr | |||

| My vehicle was in park, i was in the driver seat and i had a passenger. the passenger exited the vehicle and shut the passenger door and passenger side airbags deployed unexpectedly. there was no collision and no damage other than the damage that the airbags caused. i got my car home and called my insurance. the insurance had the car towed to an auto body shop for inspection. upon inspection, they found no reason for the airbags to deploy other than the possibility of a faulty control module. the auto body shop confirmed that there was not damage to the vehicle that would cause this incident. i contacted honda america. i had the car towed to a honda dealership where honda and my insurance company sent a representative out to do an inspection. my insurance confirmed that there was not damage that would have caused the airbags to deploy but honda is saying that my vehicle has frame damage that would have caused this incident but honda will not provide me with a report of their findings. after research, there have been numerous 2008 honda accords with this same airbag problem that honda will not recognize or agree to fix. i am stuck with a car that has significant damage and decreased value because of a faulty honda part. please help. *tr | |||

| I struck a vehicle that had stopped suddenly in front of me. i was able to decelerate to about 30 mph before the collision. driver's front air bag deployed with such force, or with such incorrect timing, that i sustained a complete and partially displaced fracture of the sternum. in searching the medical literature, this is an injury usually associated with not wearing a seat belt, which i was, or with striking the steering wheel, which i did not. there had been no prior illumination of air bag warning lights, other than the test illuminations when the car is started. *tr | |||

| Certified 2008 honda accord purchased from curry honda peachtree industrial in georgia. driving on i-85 at 55-60mph heard a loud explosion and then hit in the side of the head (at high speed) by the side airbag. side airbags deployed for absolutely no reason. could have been in a serious accident or killed. honda does not want to fix defective part on car and wants over $5k. this is a very serious problem and i see that many other 2008 honda accords have had the same problem. these airbags should not go off unless there is an impact! contacted wsbtv.com and they did a story last night on the news. wrote to all the bigwigs at american honda as well this morning. was contacted by a case manager at american honda this morning and they are towing my car down to a dealership south of where i live to be looked at with no guarantee of being fixed. | |||

| A month ago i had picked my boyfriend up from the airport and when he got out at a gas station he shut/slammed my front passenger door on my new 2008 honda accord. when this happened my side airbags on the passenger side deployed; both side window airbags and the side seat airbag. there was not enough impact for this to happen and no physical damage to the car. we were shocked by them deploying and counted our blessings no one was in that side of the car at that time. the car was in park and i was in the drivers seat. we have been fighting with honda for a month now and they refuse to fix it under my warranty. my insurance has been investigating this for a week and a half now and too strongly feel this is a warranty issue. no one has ever heard of this happening and now i am still stuck with a brand new car that has the airbags taped up for me to be able to see out my windows. i feel this is defiantly a warranty issue and i want it to be known and people be warn so hopefully this will not happen to their new accords. *tr | |||

| My nephew (25 years old) and i were out and came home and when he got out of the car and shut the door (a little harder than normal) the passanger side airbags deployed. it has just happened only one time. i took my car to the honda dealership i bought it from and they said it was out of warranty and it would cost me $5,989.00 to repair the airbags. i then called american honda. received a call back the next day but missed the call from the rep for american honda. i called and left the rep a message and he did not call me back until a week later. by then i had called my insurance company (i could not wait any longer, i had to get my car fixed). when the rep from american honda called back he said there was nothing he could do because he needed to inspect the car. my car was repaired by a body shop my insurance company recommended. i had to pay a $500.00 deductible and the cost of the repair was $3,200.00 ( a lot less than honda's price. | |||

| I own a 2008 honda accord and recently i closed the drivers side door and the side impact air bags went off. the car was not moving and i was not struck by another car or item that might have caused it to go off. i took my car to goodson honda west service department (houston tx) and they said that it was not a warranty issues and that i had damage on the right side of my undercarriage. i asked them why damage under the car on the right side would have caused the air bag on the left side of the car to go off, they didn't have an explanation. they told me to file with my insurance. they had to replace the driver side seat and the entire head liner plus all of the air bags totalling 3,600.00 i called my insurance and they said that they would cover it but that i had a $1,250.00 deductible (two teenage drivers). i was told that i should take my car to the goodson body shop because they would be doing the work. when i took my car there they looked it over again and i asked the question why would the side air bag go off when i close the door. they couldn't explain it either and they questioned whether the damage to the right undercarriage caused the air bags to go off. they asked the service folks and a honda rep to come out and meet and again honda denied the claim as warranty. i spoke with my insurance company and someone sent me a interesting article that i thought that i would share with you: http://www.thebostonchannel.com/r/20040559/detail.html a boston channel did a report and found that this is happening in the 2008 model accords and honda continues to deny that there might be a problem. i wonder if anyone in houston has had the same experience that i'm having and if honda is trying to cover something up like toyota. | |||

| The passenger side aie bag deployed on my 2008 honda accord sedan. monday night, i shut my passenger door, got into my car and 5-6 minutes later boom!!!. scared the living heck out me. i took it to the dealer. the dealer is telling me its my fault and they are not paying for it. they initially told me that they saw no damages with my car meaning no collisions, no scrapes, no hit, bumps absolutely nothing that would make the air bag deploy. insurance was called and they told them the same; however, there is no claim because there was no accident. now honda has changed there story saying that there are damages to my car. they've had my car for several days and allof a sudden there are damages. i've called america honda customer care and now i'm waiting for an adjuster from my insurance claim to go out to look at my car. in the meantime, i'm without a vehicle. honda seems as though they are fighting to avoid a safety recall. *tr | |||

| It was april 22, 2009 around 3pm when i pulled into the laundry basket on broadway in bangor, me. i opened the rear passenger door to take the dirty laundry out of the back and then closed the rear passenger door. i opened the front passenger side door where my cousin was sitting and asked him to hand me some money for laundry. when i shut the front passenger door all of the passenger side air bags went off striking my cousin in the head. my cousin and i drove the vehicle over to darling's honda in bangor where they were very helpful. after coming to an agreement i was given a rental car and my vehicle was to be inspected at no cost to me. i reported the incident to my insurance company as well. an adjuster from my insurance company took a look at the car and determined that it was a mechanical defect in the car so my insurance will not cover the repairs. after honda took a look at the car they were unable to determine why the airbags went off and honda america is refusing to cover the cost of the damages. my cousin that was sitting in the passenger seat when the airbag went off has a previous head injury that causes him to have seizures and after he was struck in the head by the airbags, he had a couple of seizures that night. honda told me they are refusing to fix the vehicle because that would be admitting fault and they are afraid of a lawsuit from my cousin or myself. i had no intentions on filing a lawsuit, i just want my car fixed. after i go my car back from honda all of the weather stripping is coming off the vehicle. thank you for taking the time to read this. *tr | |||

| 1. by shutting the pass side door the side curtain air bags deployed. this is on a 2008 honda accord, the warranty stated they would not pay for it even though when i bought the warranty i was told it covered everything even if the tiniest light bulb went out, my insurance co stated they would not pay because there was no accident and it is a malfunction the only good thing is that we were not going down the road at the time and no one got hurt. *tr | |||

| My daughter started the car, her husband got in & closed the right passenger door & the curtain air-bags on the right side of the vehicle deployed. the car is a leased 2008 honda accord sedan with approx 14,452 miles. i brought the car to coral springs honda, and was told that their investigative team had to look the car over. their final statement is that the passenger slammed the door to hard and it caused the air-bags to deploy. it is pretty scary to think that this can happen if you should close your door to hard. they are also stating that it is my responsibility to have the car repaired. please advise as to my legal rights. *tr | |||

| Vehicle passenger seat creaks and is not stable, lights on car continue to flicker and dim in and out when a/c and headlights are on. very dangerous. someone will think you are brightening them or stopping suddenly and will either cause a crash or road rage incident. today eddie milan,general manager of sloane honda called me (can verify by cell phone bill) and told me not to come back to sloane honda anymore great attitude after multiple purchases and sending multiple customers. honda refuses to admit they have problems>i will complain everyday that it gives me problems. i urge all consumers who have these problems to keep complaining until honda fixes this issue. cars have problems. but flickering headlights and taillights are a danger. *tr | |||
