Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While driving at a slow/normal speed on a residential road, I went over a gentle speed bump and on the way down, the bottom of the car struck what I believe is part of the roadway. It was a minor bump - but some of the front airbags to deployed. The passenger airbag deployed along with both knee airbags. This was totally unexpected since we were driving at normal residential speeds and slowed for the speed bump. At this speed, whatever it struck on the bottom of the car should not have caused airbag deployment.”
NHTSA complaint #11268953, filed 2019-10, 450 miles“On 11/28/2025, I turned into the Walmart parking lot in Kemah TX, came to the stop sign, turned right and the passenger side airbags deployed. The passenger side curtain wall and passenger seat air bag deployed. There was no warning, no impact, no wreck just a loud explosion sound. My daughter was sitting on the passenger side, had a loud ringing in her ear form the noise. I was unable to properly see to drive home.”
NHTSA complaint #11702002, filed 2025-11“Van had srs code on from when bought by original owner. I bought van recently and tried to fix the issue I had the airbag replaced and the error went on a few days later. While looking into the issue I spoke to a few mechanic's who have both seen this issue with other vans with the same make and model. In those cases also it didnt help with replacing the airbags. There seems to be a real issue here but there isnt yet a recall.”
NHTSA complaint #11551009, filed 2023-10“The Airbag System (SRS) Problem warning appears too often. We have brought it several times to (different) mechanics and each time they find something else wrong. After several thousand dollars spent (whether it is replacing the module, airbags, wires, etc.) the warning light eventually comes back on. In speaking with other 2019 Honda owners it seems this is a known issue. At this point, we do not know what else we can do to fix it and if it indeed is a danger to drive it.”
NHTSA complaint #11628335, filed 2024-12“The SRS airbag fault has been popping up for a while on the van. I went to my local dealership to get this fixed. $1,500 later they tell me they fixed an airbag harness and the problem should be good to go. A week later the fault appears again. I feel like they’re just throwing parts at the van to fix this legitimate safety concern. Now they want to charge us $3,000 to fix another harness. For this being a safety concern and have been told my air bags may not be deploy in a crash, the dealership and Honda isn’t taking this situation serious.”
