2013 Honda Accord Air Bags & Restraints Problems

While driving approximately 60mph on highway this morning. There was no potholes, debris, or collision. Driver curtain airbag and seat airbag deployed. The front steering wheel did not. There were no dash lights on or indications that something was wrong.

While driving at approximately 70 mph., my passenger side airbags suddenly deployed for no apparent reason. Thankfully no one was in passenger seat or hurt, but the excruciating noise was deafening and this put me at risk since it sounded like an explosion and zero visibility out side window. I had to pull over on side of road and puncture the bags and gain composure and visibility to continue my trip. I have called the recall center and found there were no active recalls but I see that this has been an issue in the past with other 2013 Honda Accords. I have been waiting for the caseworker to have an adjuster look at the vehicle but they are already setting me up for the denial to fix the issue and replace airbags. There were no warning lights to give a signal that this might happen. Case worker is supposed to send me to adjuster to get the vehicle inspected but 2 months have gone by. I am afraid that other airbags might deploy and cause a wreck or fatality if it impairs vision. I have to have the car to drive…and am getting zero cooperation from Honda

The seat belt buckle in the back seat on the right side just easily came right out. If I were to have gotten in an accident whoever was sitting there could have been badly hurt due to the seat belt buckle malfunction. I still have yet to get if fixed because it is such a serious safety issue I’m unsure of who to trust to fix it to where it is as safe as it was supposed to have been

The contact owns a 2013 Honda Accord. The contact stated while driving 35 MPH, the driver's side curtain air bags and the front driver's seat air bags deployed without impact. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact was able to continue driving. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a case was opened; however, no further assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 95,000.

I was involved in a car accident on 12/12/2. The air bags didn't deploy. They definitely should have. I have pictures of the outside of the vehicle. I can receive police report the insurance currently has the vehicle. We were traveling 70mph and was tboned then ended up sliding out of control and hitting the ground after a 4ft drop off a drainage ditch. Two points of impact the car is totaled and not one airbag deployed.

DRIVER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY, HOWEVER, PASSENGER AIRBAG DID DEPLOY. CAR WAS STATIONARY AND HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER VEHICLE MOVING AT LEAST 35 MPH AND CAR PUSHED INTO ANOTHER STATIONARY VEHICLE IN FRONT. CAR WAS HIT STRAIGHT FROM BEHIND. DRIVER HAS CONCUSSION AND NECK INJURY; PASSENGER DOES NOT, BUT HAD EYE IRRITATION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT AN INTERSECTION STOP, THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO PROCEED DRIVING AND AT 6 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE CONTACTS DRIVER SIDE DOOR. NO AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NO INJURIES WERE SUSTAINED. NO POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OTHER VEHICLE LEFT THE SEEN. THE CONTACT MANAGED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TESTING AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE AIRBAG SENOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME WAS BEING REPAIRED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA19001 (AIR BAGS) AS A POSSIBLE SOLUTION TO WHY THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALER BILL KAY HONDA (1360 LOCKE DR, BOURBONNAIS, IL 609140) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED NO RECALL WAS PRESENT UNDER THE VIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE BUT NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 121,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON 11-28-2019@ APPROXIMATELY 1835 HRS. MY HONDA ACCORD LX-AUTOMATIC WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTIPLE CAR ACCIDENT INVOLVING 5 CARS. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED WHEN THE CAR WAS HIT FROM THE REAR AND PUSHED INTO THE CAR IN FRONT. 2 IMPACTS WERE FELT FROM BEHIND FROM. AT THIS TIME THE CAR IS DISABLED AND I AM AWAITING FOR ESURANCE TO EVALUATE MY LOSS. I AM VERY CONCERN THAT THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN A DEADLY SITUATION FOR MYSELF AS WELL AS THE OCCUPANTS OF THE CAR. I WAS ON THE LEFT LANE TRAVELING WESTBOUND WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SUDDENLY SLAMMED ON THE BREAKS AND THE CAR FROM BEHIND PUSHED MY CAR INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE SPEED LIMIT ON THE LIE 495 WESTBOUND IS 50 MPH.

TAKATA RECALL. NOTHING HAS BEEN RESOLVED. ADDITIONALLY, VTC ACTUATOR. HONDA HAS REPAIRED ACCORD'S FROM 2008-2012 BUT NOT 2013-2016 WHICH HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. VARIOUS FORUMS AND MY OWN VEHICLE HAS THE ISSUE. I HAVE VIDEOS AND SOUND TO PROVE THE SAME ISSUE THAT HONDA IS REPAIRING ON ACCORD'S FROM 2008-2012 ON THE SERVICE BULLETIN. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. WHEN TURNING ON THE VEHICLE, THE VEHICLE STARTS WITH A LOUD START-UP AND SOMETIMES WHEN THE WEATHER IS REALLY COLD, THE ENGINE WON'T START. HONDA DOES HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT FOR OLDER CARS.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON IN MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD AND I'M NOT SURE IF THIS HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN THE DRIVE WAY THE NEXT MORNING I CAME OUT AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND WON'T GO AWAY NOW.

TAKATA RECALL I OWN TWO HONDA ACCORDS, A 2010 HONDA ACCORD (VIN [XXX]) AND A 2013 HONDA ACCORD VIN [XXX]). BOTH ACCORDS HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THE TAKATA BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS AS NEEDING AIR BAG REPLACEMENTS. I FINALLY RECEIVED THE OFFICIAL HONDA RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG THIS PAST FRIDAY, 2/23/18. I HAVE STILL NOT RECEIVED ANY RECALL TO FIX THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AIR BAG(S). I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED BOTH CARS NEW AND WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE A RECALL "AT SOME FUTURE POINT" FOR THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD, BUT THE SERVICE ADVISOR I SPOKE TO COULD NOT BE MORE SPECIFIC THAN THAT. IN DECEMBER, 2017 THERE WERE NO AIRBAG RECALLS FOR EITHER HONDA ACCORD ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE. I JUST CHECKED AGAIN FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE 2013 HONDA ACCORD AND NOTHING FOR AIRBAGS. THE RECALL FOR THE 2010 HONDA ACCORD SPECIFICALLY STATES: "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL HAS BEEN PERFORMED." OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS PRETTY DANGEROUS STUFF. I HAVE RECEIVED NO ADVISORIES AND NO SAFETY ADVICE OR PRECAUTIONS FROM HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION / AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY REGARDING FRONT PASSENGERS OR STEPS TO TAKE TO AVOID INJURY IN CASE OF AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT IN THE MEANTIME (OR UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS OFFICIALLY ORDERED). IF THESE TAKAKA AIRBAGS ARE A KNOWN DANGEROUS ISSUE FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW AND THESE AIRBAGS CAN KILL OR INJURE PASSENGERS, AND MY 2010 HONDA JUST RECEIVED IT'S RECALL NOW, IN FEBRUARY, 2018 - WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO SEE THE RECALL ON MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD? 2021?I CANNOT SELL OR TRADE MY 2013 BECAUSE OF THIS KNOWN AIRBAG PROBLEM, OTHER DEALERS WILL NOT TOUCH THIS CAR. PLEASE TAKE ACTION TO FORCE HONDA TO ADVISE OWNERS TO GIVE A PROJECTED DATE FOR A RECALL AND WHAT TO DO UNTIL SUCH TIME AS A RECALL IS ORDERED / AVAILABLE. THANK-YOU INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

RECEIVED CARD FOR AIRBAG RECALL

ON FRI SEPT 29TH, 2017 I HAD AN SUA (SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION) IN MY 2013 HONDA ACCORD THAT DEVASTATED PART OF AN OFFICE BUILDING AND WRECKED MY CAR. I WAS IN AN OFFICE PARK PARKING LOT AND BACKED UP, HIT A 3 FOOT HIGH CONCRETE BOLLARD, WAS ANNOYED, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE, FELT AN ODD LURCH AS THOUGH THE BUMPER WAS STUCK ON SOMETHING ALTHOUGH IT WAS NOT. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR AND AT THAT MOMENT THE CAR RAPIDLY ACCELERATED TO WHAT FELT LIKE 30 OR 40 MILES AN HOUR. I TRIED TO BRAKE BUT IT FELT AS THOUGH THERE WAS NO PRESSURE UNDER MY FOOT. I GRIPPED THE STEERING WHEEL IN TERROR AND STEERED THE CAR AWAY FROM OTHER PARKED CARS AND INTO A CONCRETE WHEELCHAIR RAMP WITH RAILS AND AN OFFICE BUILDING. THE AIR BAG WENT OFF. THE CONCRETE RAMP AND OFFICE BUILDING STOPPED THE CAR IN ITS TRACKS. I PUT IT IN PARK AND GOT OUT. I'M DOING OK BUT MOSTLY VERY VERY GRATEFUL I DIDN'T HURT OR KILL ANYONE. MINOR AIRBAG BURN ON MY ARM AND A CONTUSION TO MY KNEE. I FEEL THE AIRBAG ONLY CAME OUT A LITTLE AND HIT MY LEFT ARM, NOT THE REST OF MY BODY. BUT I COULD BE WRONG ABOUT THAT. I'M GLAD BECAUSE AS A PHYSICAL THERAPIST I'VE SEEN SOME NASTY AIR BAG INJURIES. ALSO I DID NOT HAVE MY SEAT BELT ON BECAUSE I OFTEN PUT IT ON AS I LEAVE A PARKING LOT. NOT A GOOD IDEA, BUT ALSO NO NASTY SEAT BELT INJURY. JUST STIFF ARMS, PAINFUL LEFT KNEE AND NECK, A FEW DAYS LATER. I REALIZE EVERYONE IS GOING TO SAY I HAD THE FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT I WAS AT A DEAD STOP WHEN I PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE TO ACCELERATE AND SERIOUSLY, AFTER ALMOST 40 YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER FELT ANYTHING LIKE THIS TERROR AND LOSS OF CONTROL. THE POLICEMAN WHO CAME TO THE SCENE WOULD TESTIFY TO THE FACT THAT I WAS COMPLETELY SANE AND SOBER AT THE TIME. TODAY, WE HEARD THE CAR WILL BE APPRAISED AS TOTALED. GOOD NEWS MEANING IT WILL NO LONGER BE DRIVEN.
