Air bag malfunction light illuminated on dash, making airbag system useless. Taken to dealer said the SRS computer was bad, had computer replaced at a cost of $430.69. Had to wait 4 days for parts because they were on backorder they must have a problem with these units, they should not go bad anyway, I think it is a defective part. I called Honda customer assistance, they said basically it is out of the 3yr/360000 warranty and I am responsible for the safety equipment. I do not agree with this at all, seems to me they could care less about safety..updated 07/20/15

The air bag light on the dashboard came up around April 30th 2015 and in May 14th 2015 I took the vehicle to the Honda service center in tallahassee. After a multiple points inspection the mechanic said that the "side curtain air bag" was non functional and replacement will cost $526. The vehicle has never been involved in any kind of accident or incident were the air bags could have been deployed. The mechanic was very careful not to say the air was defective. How a part that has never been used could be non functional? the Honda people knows about this defect but want to pass the cost to the customer and when we can not afford that kind of sticker price they are putting our lives in risk.

I was in a car accident on Feb. 20,2015 a complete crash in the front side of my Honda Accord 2008 (hood, bumper,2 front finders, head light) it was a horrible accident. The car is a total loss and the air bags didn't deploy, so I hit the steering wheel with my chest and the seat belt locked on my shoulders so nothing stopped me from being injured. How Honda one of the biggest popular cars don't care about the life of their customers.....I felt really bad of that. I'm seeking real help from U guys to support and keep the United States safe from this inhumanity manufacturing defects which killed and injured many people. They don't care about any of our complaints on their products when I called their products help customers service they said it's an old car that is absolutely ridiculous because they care only about the sale numbers and staying in the market what ever happened to the riders of this car.....I expect real action towards Honda America I will keep following and steps up until I get all my rights. Important note: My car checked with a team of engineer & technicians experienced only in the car safety&air bags and I do have all of this reports and pics.....here what they said the front airbags sensors a&B sensed the crash and reported that to the control unit (car computer) and the airbag didn't deployed or exploded because there's a poor manufacturing or defect. U guys as a government Agency responsible for our safety and safe production of this cars which kills and injuring the riders. Thank you for paying attention and waiting for your decision and I documented all the reports for this accident....updated 05/07/15

2008 Honda Accord: Air bag warning light sensor activated and stayed on. Local dealer in Maryland advised the SRS module needs replacement ($700 cost). Dealer also stated they are "not sure if the air bags would work properly" without replacing the SRS module. Online research indicates numerous similar complaints involving SRS modules that needed replacement as a result of an activated air bag warning sensor for the 2008 Honda Accord (ie. www.carcomplaints.com). based on this recurring issue, this item is believes to be a faulty/defective part that originated from the manufacturing process and directly affects the operation of the airbag system. This also means that the safety of the vehicle passengers and operators are in jeopardy and potentially face serious injury or death. On April 3, 2015 I spoke with a Honda usa representative and informed them of the recurring issue. I suggested a recall and conveyed my concern for the safety of all affected operators. They advised I was out of warranty....05-27-15

There was no accident or side collision involved. He was parked in the clarkson public library parking lot. The safety recall on the airbags are only up to 2007. After this, then the recall should be extended to cover the 2008 models.

My fiance got out of my car and closed the passenger side door. As soon as the door slammed the curtain I heard a loud bag and looked over to find that the airbags went off in my car. Luckily no one was in the backseat or they would have been hit by the explosion.

Air bag light came on intermittently, then stayed on. When to Honda dealer in yorba linda, ca. Dealer tested SRS system, no errors on diagnostic code. Only thing dealer said was to return and leave car for several days, that they had no idea what is causing this. Dealer also said would be at my expense if they found anything wrong and for time to investigate. I have not returned.

I pulled over to let my son out of my 2008 Honda Accord vehicle, he was sitting in the front passenger side. When he closed the door the passenger seat and passenger curtain airbags deployed. Once I realized what they were, I got out to check on my son because I thought we had been hit. There was no vehicle or exterior damage to my vehicle. The next business day I took my vehicle to a Honda dealer. It was inspected and photos were taken. After a week of no direct ansewers from this dealer, I decided to contact american Honda. Another inspection was scheduled and they determained that there was "rim damage" (caused from parking too close to the curb) and that could have "possibly" caused the airbags to deploy. I was not parked next to the curb when the airbags deployed and I have to disagree with there finding.

Air bag light came on and stayed on. When local Honda dealer checked it out was told that there was an internal failure of the SRS control unit. Was told it needed to be replaced. When asked what caused it, was told that if the car was not in an accident they didn't know. The car had not been in an accident. Am planning to have it replaced but with the recalls of this part in older models, felt as if I needed to report this defect in case it turned out to be a problem in other models of this car. Dealer was notified.

I cannot find out is these air bags are defective. The dealer will not offer any information and says they have heard nothing from Honda. Am I driving a time bomb? as of this writing nothing has happened, this car has never been in a crash yet only has 24,000 miles on the car.
