TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIR BAG WAS THE ONLY AIR BAG TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT ADJUSTERS BECAME FRACTURED DURING THE CRASH, WHICH CAUSED THE SEAT TO FALL IN REVERSE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED INTERNAL BRUISING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DRIVER ALSO SUSTAINED A HERNIATED AND BULGING DISC IN THE NECK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX THAT I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE DEALER IN THE SPRING OF 2014 AFTER FIXING A RECALL ON THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I NOW HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE SEAT BELT NOT LATCHING IN COLD CONDITIONS AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS I GET AN SRS LIGHT ON THE DASH WHICH MAKES THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM INOPERABLE MEANING IF THERE WOULD BE A CRASH THE SAFETY SYSTEM WOULD NOT FUNCTION AND AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY. THERE SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD TALK OF THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MANY OTHER HONDA CIVICS IN THE ONLINE FORUMS I LOOKED AT. IF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WAS WORTHY OF A RECALL WOULDN'T MALFUNCTIONING SEAT BELTS BE JUST AS EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE. I LOOKED AT HONDA'S CORPORATE SITE UNDER SAFETY AND THEY STATE "SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY" I JUST TALKED WITH HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO GO TO THE DEALER AND PAY THE $100.00 DOLLAR DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND ALSO PAY FOR THE REPAIR ON TOP OF THAT. THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE THE COMPANY THAT SAYS SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY TO ME. I HAVE NEVER HAD ISSUES WITH SEATBELT LATCHING ON ANY OTHER BRAND OF VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED AND I THINK HONDA NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR OWN STATEMENTS ON THE SAFETY OF THEIR VEHICLES. *TR
