What owners report
I WAS SEEING DOWN THE ROAD AND A TRUCK WAS STOPPED AT A GREEN LIGHT I RAN INTO HIM MY AIRBAGS DID NOT COME OUT
MY AIR BAG LIGHT CONSTANTLY STAYS ON. NO CODES COME UP WHEN AUTO REPAIR SHOP HOOKED IT UP SO I CAN'T EVEN GET A DIAGNOSIS AND ATTEMPT TO REPAIR. THE SAFETY HAZARD ASPECT WORRIES ME IMMENSELY BUT IT'S MY ONLY VEHICLE SO I'M FORCED TO DRIVE IT REGARDLESS. ALL AVAILABLE RECALLS HAVE BEEN PERFORMED. MY CAR HESITATED TO ACCELERATE AFTER I PUT IT IN DRIVE OR REVERSE WHEN I'M AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO HESITATES TO SWITCH GEARS TO ACCELERATE AT A NORMAL RATE TO SAFELY MERGE ONTO A ROAD OR INTERSTATE WHETHER I'M STOPPED FIRST OR TURN RIGHT IN AT A LOW SPEED AND ATTEMPT TO MERGE.
WHEN STARTING FROM A COMPLETE STOP THE TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AND LACKS TAKE OFF POWER WHICH COULD BE A DANGEROUS PROBLEM.
TAKATA RECALL. MY AIRBAG LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO. WAS TOLD BY USED CAR DEALER THAT THEY WILL GO OFF WHICH THEY HAVEN'T.
TAKATA RECALL. HONDA DID A SAFETY RECALL IN 2015 BUT IN 2017 I GOT THE AIRBAG SIGN AGAIN IN CIVIC HYBRID AND IT'S NOT GOING EVEN MECHANIC TRIED TO REMOVE IT WITH OBD. OTHER PROBLEM IS WITH IMA SYSTEM, IT WORKS OFTEN SOMETIMES AND SIGN STAYS AT THE DASHBOARD. HONDA SHOULD RECALL FOR AIRBAG AND IMA SYSTEM AND FIX IT PERMANENTLY.
