“I have 2005 Honda Accord which is not included in the takata recall but I have a airbag light that goes off and on. As a result, my passenger side seat belt locked up when I took it to the dealer they said that the engine read a code that said it was involved in rear collision and it was not. They also stated that the seat belt could have locked up because the airbag light is on. Someone was sitting in the seat and had to maneuver to get out of it. …”
NHTSA complaint #11054887, filed 2017-12, 160,000 miles“Airbag light appears on the dadshboard intermittently. It only comes on if I start the car and do not have my seatbelt on. If my seatbelt is on, the light does not come on. Further, while driving and the light is not on, the moment I take my seatbelt off, while the car is running, the airbag light comes on.”

I was going very slow /probably under 10mph. My drivers side airbag deployed and I got cuts on my arm and a chemical burn as well. My drivers side seatbelt is not working now (locked.)

NHTSA complaint #11002342, filed 2017-06, 98,000 miles“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. …”
NHTSA complaint #10472806, filed 2012-08, 95,870 miles“Air bag light would come on intermittently. Then started staying on more. Within the week went to dealer and they said it was my seatbelt sensor. Covered under my 5 year extended warranty. Thank goodness.”
