Since the day I purchased my vehicle (Aug. 2004), the "side airbag"/"SRS" light have continuously come on. I have repeatedly notified the dealership of the problem and they haven't a clue. There are instances where the warning light(s) have been on for well over 2 hrs or 200+ miles. I have brought the vehicle to more than one Honda location for troubleshooting, and they all have no answer. According to Honda's technicians, the warning lights are not leaving a trouble code, so they proclaim they have no possible solution for the issue. The common response is "the SRS system is testing itself, " "there are too many/too little objects in the seat, " "cell phone interference, " etc.. so far Honda has not offered a proper solution, or even a probable cause. At this point I feel extremely unsafe in the vehicle due to this issue. Individual's safety should not be a ignored or dismissed. I feel have been mislead from day one about the reliability, safety, or the car in general. I bought a certified used Honda with the assumption of a excellent/quality vehicle. So far, I have experienced nothing but headaches, numerous serious safety/mechanical recalls, and a lack of interest on the part of Honda. At this point, I am wasting my time, money, and possibly my health in this car. I do not feel safe, therefore I shouldn't have to settle for this vehicle--especially for the price I am expected to pay. It is disappointing to see issues as serious as these, being "swept under the carpet" by it's makers.

I own a Honda Accord ex V6 with nearly 40,000 miles. At times the SRS light comes on until the ignition is turned off. This seems to be happening more and more. I took it back to the dealer but they said I would have to bring it back when the light is on. They could not find anything wrong via the computer memory. The manual says to bring the car in for service when the light goes on.

2001 Honda Accord V6 ex. The car was at dealer for some service. Upon return, SRS light came on. Went back to dealer, was told battery needs changing. Changed battery and reset SRS. Was ok for a couple of days and SRS light came back on. Back to dealer where was told that opds needs changing @almost $500. Reset the opds and SRS light. Light stayed off for a week and came back on. Have seen many web posting with same problem and changing opds does not resolve issue. I believe this is a safety issue that Honda needs to take care of. I don't want to spend $500 where they are not really sure if it will fix the problem. 8jb

My SRS light is on at all times in my 2001 Honda Accord. I took it to a Honda dealership in June, 2005. I was told that when the SRS light is on, my air bag system is inoperable and air bags will not deploy on impact. Dealership inspection found a code for seat belt buckle switch/sensor causing the SRS light. The buckle set has been special ordered and has not arrived after one month. In the meantime, I drive around with my SRS light on and no airbags. Why are there so many complaints about this same issue on the NHTSA website" does this issue need to be addressed as a possible recall" so many of the complaints regarding this same issue are with no resolution. So far I have no resolution. I did not buy a car with no air bags. I want to feel confident my air bags will do their job should I be in an accident. They have saved my life in the past. If you have this same issue, I encourage you to file a complaint.

I own a 2001 Honda Accord ex. The SRS light has been on for several months. I have taken it to a local shop to have them try to turn it off, but they cannot. I have read several forum that state Honda is clueless about trying to solve this issue and have charged customers a great deal of money to troubleshoot, but never fix the issue. Honda will not admit that they have a defective system which disables the airbags, creating a life-threatening situation should I have an accident.

2001 Honda Accord air bag. The entire air bag system was compromised by a tissue box. The consumer felt that Honda should make every effort to secure and or encase the wiring for the air bag system.

The dealer refused to provide repairs under warranty because the failure was the result of the consumer's actions.

SRS indicator light came on 10/15/2004 when I started engine in the morning and the light stayed on after that. Car is maintained in good condition always, there was no problem with the car and it ran fine. Talked to dealers and all said they need to diagnose for a charge of 80-100$. I took the car to coral springs Honda on 10/22/2004 and they said SRS unit is bad and they charged $516 $ to replace it. I had to pay and replace the SRS unit (fp no. 77960-S84-A75, dtc 07-2 SRS unit, 6490148). It seems this is a generic failures as shown by many complaints here. Honda should pay for this problem fix and customers shouldn't be burdened with this replacement cost!

SRS warning light turned on 3 times within first year of purchase (Jul. 01) the dealership gave an excuse that cell phone chargers will set it off. Within 2 years it turned on another 2 times and has stayed on ever since. Talked to another dealership and they said a cell phone charger should in no way cause that light to turn on. Turned to first dealership with this reply and they said since the warranty is up they would not do anything about it and still had no other reason it should be on. The date listed is the day a second dealership was confronted and first dealership confronted. Was referred by employee at a seperate repair shop.
