“My complaint is about my car I had an accident on september 26, 2018, in binghamton ny. My airbag was deployed, the seatbelt was damage, and also the front bumper. After I had the accident I received a recall paper and when I verified the number I found I had a recall. I called and talked to them, I also send the first complaint. They sent me an application I filled it out and sent it back. When I call they said to me they still working on it.

NHTSA complaint #11205376, filed 2019-05, 140,000 miles“The inflators were replaced 3/24/16 and 7/29/16. On 7/5/17 my son was hit by a man running a red light. To make a long story short, my son suffered numerous injuries including being knocked out by the airbag and continues to suffer from the concussion - I know the old airbag/inflator would have been worse. Also, the seatbelt bruised his chest and the doctor thought he had heart damage. Echocardiogram showed everything was fine - just bad chest bruise. My concern is that even though the inflators were replaced they, the airbag/inflator, still caused damage. …”
NHTSA complaint #11144706, filed 2018-11, 180,000 miles“While braking hard to avoid impacting vehicle stopped on highway seat belts locked up and now will not release. Honda diagnostic incorrectly states srs system was triggered by impact - car sustained no damage. Recommendation is to replace front seat belts at $345.62 each and srs control unit at $680.42, plus labor. American Honda customer service states that the seat belt system performed as it should. It is logical for passive restraints, like air bags, to work only once, but illogical for seat belts to fail after one use. Apparently Honda considers seat belts that works once a success. …”
