Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Entered the vehicle, closed the door, turned on the ignition, started connecting my phone to the phone charger and the side airbags (curtain airbags) deployed while the vehicle was in park. Vehicle was not involved in an accident nor had any damage on the body. I have filed a claim with the insurance company, geico and the vehicle is being towed to the closest Honda dealer to examine the data event recorder to review the computer for defects. …”

“Takata recall? Airbag light on, took to Honda dealer. Diagnostic found multiple stored fault codes: 32-10 front passenger; 11-10 drivers airbag, inflator saved and cleared codes. Fault still in 31-10. System worked when simulator used, when simulator was removed fault returned in passenger side airbag. Recommended to replace passenger side seat airbag. Part $597; labor $140. Really? Customer declined. Honda dealer says no that if car in collision, no airbags will deploy. Is this true? Is this the subject of the recall? Please advise.”

“Takata recall while dealer has told me air bag was completed, it was sold to me with an open entry or questionable completion. Upon driving the car I found it felt shaky & was told they would fix any problems however now that I have taken it in twice and it has stayed there over a week, and then taken home (without my approval) by service manager, when I still complained that it doesn't feel so stable and maybe we should call off the deal or trade for another car, I was told.. Deal is done, the car is yours, we've spent $$ to fix things . …”
