2001 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

SRS LIGHT COMES ON ON DASH AND IT GO OFF AIR BAG MIGHT BE BAD DRIVING AND STATIONARY

TAKATA RECALL. MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC HAS BEEN SITTING MY MY DRIVE FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND IS NOT BEING USED AS MY PRIMARY VEHICLE. YESTERDAY THE CAR SEEMED FINE; WINDOWS CLEAR, NO SMELL, ETC. HOWEVER, WHEN RETURNING TODAY THE CAR HAD THE SMELL OF BURNT PLASTIC WHICH WAS OVERPOWERING AND WENT TO SEE WHY IT SMELLED AND THEN NOTICED THAT THE WINDOWS WERE COVERED IN SOOT. THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR WAS OPENED AND THE SMELL WAS 100% STRONGER AND YOU COULD SEE THAT THE PLASTIC ON THE PASSENGER SIDE DASH WAS BURNT AND MELTING RIGHT AROUND WHERE THE AIRBAG; I WILL SEND PICTURES. IT LOOKED LIKE THE DASH HAD MELTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT AND BESIDES THE CAR COVERED IN SOOT THE DAMAGE IS LOCATED SPECIFICALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AROUND THE AIRBAG AND GLOVE COMPARTMENT. IN WORKING TO COMPLETE THIS REPORT I NOTICED HOW IT ASKS HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE CAR, BUT THE ONLY WAY TO SEE THE NUMBER OF MILES IS BY TURNING THE CAR ON. I AM HESITIANT TO TURN THE CAR ON SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AND DON'T THINK IT IS SAFE. HOWEVER, I KNOW THE CAR HAS OVER 200,000 MILES BUT I AM NOT SURE AS THE EXACT NUMBER OF MILES.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAD RECALL NOTICE . - 7/13 - HENNESSY HONDA - WOODSTOCK, GA ( INVOICE # HOCS623783) PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS INSTALLED). AT THAT TIME MY MILEAGE WAS 117,706. IN SEPT. 2017 I TOOK CAR TO HONDA CARLAND - ALPHARETTA, GA (WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN AUG., 2001) AS THE SRS LIGHT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO TURN IT OFF. IN DEC. 2017 BOTH SRS LIGHT AND SIDE AIRBAG LIGHTS WOULD NOT GO OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT THE OPDS UNIT AND SENSOR WERE BAD INTERNALLY, CAUSING CODE 15-3 - NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND QUOTED ME OVER $1000 TO DO SO. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO THE RECALL THAT WAS RECEIVED AND SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IN 2013.. I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG ASSEMBLY. BOTH LIGHTS STILL REMAIN ON, AND I AM HESITANT TO LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT.

FULL FRONTAL COLLISION AT OVER 20 MPH, NOT A SINGLE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. FRONT OF CAR CAVED TO A V, RIGHT CORNER OF CAR COMPLETELY MISSING. ONE TREE HIT DIRECTLY IN THE CENTER, 2ND TREE HIT OFF CENTER. VEHICLE WAS GOING STRAIGHT ON A RURAL ROAD ABOUT ABOUT 30 MPH AND LEFT THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT PROCEEDED STRAIGHT AHEAD AND UP AN INCLINE AND HIT ONE TREE EXACTLY IN THE CENTER AND ANOTHER JUST OFF CENTER. VEHICLE IS TOTALLED. WINDSHIELD BROKEN IN SEVERAL SPOTS. INJURIES SUSTAINED WERE POSSIBLE CONCUSSION AND BROKEN ELBOW, BRUISES, INJURED KNEE.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA SENT OUT A TECH TO MY HOUSE TO REPLACE MY AIRBAG. 2 DAYS LATER THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON , SO I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALER, BRIAN DAMBROSIO SAID I HAVE A SRS INTERNAL FAILURE AND SAID AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOW ANDY AT HONDA SAID , HE WAS TOLD ITS NOT THE AIRBAG AND THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN DO FOR ME. I HOPE I DON'T DIE AS A RESULT OF HONDA'S NONACCOUNTABILITY

WE HAD A FRONT END COLLISION THAT TOTALED OUR VEHICLE - AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT GO OFF - PERSON IN FRONT OF US HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS AND STOPPE-D DEAD IN FRONT OF US -THE FRONT END OF OUR VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH THE REAR END OF HERS THANK GOD WE WERE NOT BADLY INJURED. WE WERE IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET

WHILE DRIVING HOOD FLIPPED UP , WENT AND PARKED VEHICLE TO FIND THAT THE HOOD LATCH HAD COME OFF THE BASE DUE TO RUST ISSUE . THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS DUE TO THE FACT I COULD NOT SEE WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. HAS ANY OTHER ISSUES AROSE LIKE THIS ONE THAT HAPPENED TO ME? THANK YOU.
