While driving on a highway in snowy conditions, the vehicle experienced a brief loss of traction and slid across lanes. There was no confirmed collision with another vehicle, object, or obstacle. During this event, the passenger-side curtain airbag and passenger seat airbag deployed unexpectedly. There were no warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms indicating any issue with the airbag or safety systems before the incident. After the event, the vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealership. The inspection confirmed that the airbags had deployed; however, no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) were found in the system, and no system malfunction was identified. The dealer suggested that "impact seems" to be present based on visual observation, but no specific collision or impact event was confirmed. …

SRS weight sensor failure-- triggers the dashboard warning light and disables my passenger airbag. My SRS light is on continuously. There is a current Honda recall for this issue for my make and model; however, do to my VIN not being listed, the Honda dealership wants to charge me a diagnostic fee plus the repair costs for the exact issue that the current recall is listed for. My VIN needs to be added. I should not have to come out of pocket to pay for this when I'm having the exact issue listed in the recall. My SRS light being on continuously is a MAJOR Safety concern because it disables the airbags--so in the event of an accident, the airbags will not deploy. I contacted Honda Corporate and they created a case--Case number 16432964 for this issue--but they told me it would be possibly months to get anything done and I would still have to pay out of pocket first. …

"Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer" and the air bag warning light was turned on multiple times. Upon turning off and restarting the vehicle, the warning lights are not turned on sometimes. But at random times, the failure reoccurred persistently. Noticed that my vehicle has 5 different Recalls but my VIN only has one recall needed(?). Managed to figure out that the SRS system is faulty due to the front passenger's belt buckle being stuck sometimes. Dealership won't let me replace the belt buckle for free since my VIN is not part of the recall process. Faulty SRS won't work if accident occurs and driver is at the risk always. Also, during driving there is a weird struting noise that happens behind the steering wheel. Can't seem to make out what or where the noise is coming from.

My Honda accord keeps trying to turn off in the middle of the fwy and I know it's due to the fuel pump, I have a misfire and all the warning lights came on. This is due to Honda having the fuel pump recalled that has damaged all the fuel injectors. It took them almost a year to get the recall parts and now myself and a ton of others are now having to pay for these fuel injectors to have a car that doesn't stall and die on the road. Honda should have taken care of this knowing it damaged the fuel injectors.also issue with air bad supplemental issues
