In the owners’ words

“Receiving an error message to check my air bag system. Did show - which shows two error codes B0001-13 and B0002-13. Both of which are related to the driver’s side air bag. Spoke to the local Honda dealership which advised me the this issue isn’t covered under a recall or extended warranty - BUT the same issue is covered for passenger side air bags. This MAKES no sense when it is a KNOWN issue - for Honda to not fix ”NHTSA complaint, 2013 Honda Civic owner
“Air Bag light is on. Dealer said it it probably just a faulty relay switch and turned it off. It came back on. I'm listing the date as today, but this has been going on for over 5 years, no incident, but why is light on? I do not trust the airbag system.”NHTSA complaint, 2013 Honda Civic owner
“The ABS misfired and locked my brakes without warning during normal driving. This was without pumping the brakes or any engagement of the brake system.”NHTSA complaint, 2013 Honda Civic owner
