After calling my local Honda dealership I was denied services. Due to my vehicles airbag already being deployed in an accident. Honda manger stated no work will be done since my vehicles already has deployed airbags. Would have been the case since I bought the car off a salvage auction, with the airbags deployed.

Airbag light is on and caused a failed safety inspection. Dealer told me the SRS unit/controller/module needed to be replaced and will cost ~ $1k even though there is a bulletin (TSB 20-015) that a Honda representative said covers the problem. The Honda rep told this to the dealership Service Director on the phone with me on the phone with them, but now the dealership is telling me it isn't covered and they can't get the part, so this seems like an important safety issue - particularly if the part isn't available, suggesting many others are having the same problem - so maybe a recall is needed for this? I need to pass safety inspection in Virginia, but can't, and I'm not sure what to do. Thanks for any help. I called, but waited on hold for a long time and was then disconnected. Would like to hear back by email and phone call: [redacted]

The contact's daughter owns a 2007 Honda Accord. The contact stated that while her daughter was driving 60 MPH, the passenger's side air bag was deployed without incident or warning. Her daughter pulled over once the failure occurred and was able to drive the vehicle home. Her daughter then took the vehicle to a dealer where she was provided a diagnostic fee to determine the cause of the failure. The contact notified the manufacturer of the failure and was provided with a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

In November 2019 my key fob became inoperable and I called a local Conicelli Honda dealer in Conshohocken, PA to see if they could replace it. They said they could replace it so I took my 2007 Honda Accord there to purchase a new key fob. When I spoke to the service person she informed me that I would have to get the airbag recall issue addressed also and that it would be no charge to have that done. So I agreed. Now years later I'm still receiving the airbag recall notices. Can you help me?

I have taken my car for the airbag recalls in the past. A few weeks ago, after taking the car to a car wash, the airbag icon came on my dash. I had it put on a diagnostic machine and it showed AIR BAG:FRONTAL:DRIVER SIDE:INFLATOR MODULE. The local Honda dealership will not fix it unless I pay out of my pocket. I don't feel like I should have to pay for a repair and I'm concerned that the airbag won't deploy in an accident.
