“On june 14, 2014 I was run on the road into a utility pole.by another driver. My airbag exploded with abrasions to my rt arm and chest. My doors on both sides locked on me while fumes from under the hood were filling my interior. The police had to pry the door open.to get me out. I later started having pain in my chest and found out that cartilage broke away from my chest cavity--costochondritis. The car was totalled, but I was advised to check the recall on that make and model. I found two recalls that it seemed just happened. I don't know how long these airbag problems existed. …”
NHTSA complaint #11072869, filed 2018-02, 190,000 miles“The passenger side seat belt locks and does not allow reasonable free movement of the passenger. This premature locking occurs while the passenger is sitting normally in the passenger seat and causes my spouse or I to refrain from using the passenger safety/seat belt. Agencies promote safety and mandatory use but the design causes one to neglect wearing it and I'm an advocate for wearing my seat belt in my 2008 Honda CR-V unless I'm in the passenger seat. Also, does this locking pose a safety issue in itself during a sudden stop frontal collision?”
NHTSA complaint #10404046, filed 2011-06, 20 miles“I had an accident dec 9, 2008 in my 2008 Honda CR-V. I took it to the body shop the next day. The repair should have taken 10 days. The body shop found that the seatbelt jammed & didn't deploy like it should have, so needed to replace the buckle. The buckle is a controlled part, has to be ordered by VIN# & was on back order, they will not overnight it either. It took 2 weeks to come in (on emergency order), my body shop would not let me have it back til the seatbelt worked. Finally got the seatbelt buckle in & something was still wrong. …”
NHTSA complaint #10256153, filed 2009-01, 10,000 miles“Vehicle was in an accident and repaired. Air bag never deployed and now 3 years later the srs system has three faults the bernadi Honda said were related to the accident. Insurance company refused to repair system saying it was maintenence. 33-10 open in the left side curtain airbag first inflator. E1-11 left front airbag and left seat belt tensioner stopped deployment. F1-11 driver's airbag and or driver's seat belt tenioner deployed.”
NHTSA complaint #10579120, filed 2014-04, 90,000 miles“The srs and seat belt systems are not functioning as expected. The warning lights came on, and Honda advises we need a new side impact air bag as system has failed. Honda will not replace this without charge of over $1000. Car has less than 100000 miles on it, how can the manufacturer not be responsible for lifetime warranty on a safety system? Shouldn't that be a federal regulation- that the safety systems be warrantied for life? How can a manufacturer not stand behind its safety system? Per the internet, this is not an isolated problem with hondas. …”
