My light for airbag inspection came on shortly after purchase. When we asked about it during a routine service we were told that shouldn't be happening. We were told the airbags are still working and they do not know why that is happening but, they were not interested in taking care of the issue even tho the car was under warranty at the time and several recalls were being issued for other cars with the Takata Airbags in them. Because of this poor service we decided to stop using your service. Now, several years later I have become aware of all the problems others are having with your airbags and requested a call back from a supervisor because no one answering your phones has offered any responsible response to this problem. No one is able to get a hold of a supervisor. I was finally given a case # thru an email from an unknown person with no contact information. I am very upset that I was not notified about this safety concern sooner and do not accept the system that you are using to get out of fixing a problem you pretended to know nothing about. Every time I try to find out which airbags are in my car I am referred to Takata Lawsuit over dysfunctional exploding bags are going off in older vehicles. I simply do not trust your process after many attempts to contact a responsible party and told they will get to it but, no one gets back and they have show no concern at all on their part. I do not wish to wait any longer for a correct response. it is long past due.

While the vehicle is in motion and making left or right hand turns (90 degree turns) with the vehicle going ~10 mph the airbag warning lightturns and stays on for some time before it disappears. However, the frequency of the airbag warning lights have increased. I took the vehicle to the dealership for further investigation and was told the issue is coming from a cable reel and the driver inflation may need to be replaced too. According to the Honda technician- if the issue/parts remain unfixed, the airbag will fail to deploy in a forward movement crash.

Every since I got this car (about 3 or 4 years ago) driving the car anytime if I even just placed my purse on the seat I would get multiple air bag warnings that my passenger air bag would be turned off. If anyone would sit on the seat it would give me even more warnings and turn off the air bags. When I would go get it checked everyone would tell me there was nothing they could do since they saw no warning since it would disappear once no one was in my passenger seat. My car now constantly has the air bag warning sign

What does check airbag system mean?

When this light comes on, it indicates that a problem has been detected in the system, and one or more airbags may not inflate in the event of a collision. While it's possible that all the airbags could work as intended even with an SRS warning light, a failure in the airbags is a significant safety concern.

Why is my Honda Civic airbag light on?

The SRS airbag light in your Honda Civic LX can indicate an issue with your supplemental restraint system, which includes airbags, seat belt sensors, and seat belt pretensioners.

Can I drive my car with the airbag warning light on?

The bottom line is that, when your airbag light comes on, it's vital that you don't drive any further and have your car checked by a mechanic as soon as possible. Until the problem is diagnosed and fixed, your airbags will not deploy.
