What 2007 Honda Civic SI owners say

Air bags

Not sure if this is part of Takata recall. Was driving about 5 mpg through a cvs parking lot when my drivers side curtain airbag went off in my face without hitting anything forcing me to swerve to the right and hit the curb and pop my tire as well as pull the fender liner off.

I have this airbag light on with intermittent on/off for some time and now is constantly on. The problem is not only the airbag light on also, which I believe it's more critical, is that it's not sensing any person seating on the passenger seat and not detecting seat belt not click on and airbag will not deploy on passenger side if there is a crash. Honda is asking me to replace the complete seat for $ 2,600 (if I were to trade my car for a new one they probably don't give me not even $ 5,000 for my car. I'll wait when this problem is covered by a recall. Hope this complain helps to speed it up.
