SRS light came on and remains on. Dealer diagnosed problem as defective SRS control module. Dealer says this part of the restraint system is not covered under any warranty. A call to Honda's 800 number resulted in the same conclusion and no monetary assistance could be offered for a repair that would cost approximately $1000.

SRS light recently and currently remains on in my 2004 Honda CRV. I took my vehicle to avalon Honda NJ dealer 2 times after speaking to them 3 times, they procastinated to obtain the part. I was informed they will get it soon and will cost me $693. After I performed a consumer research of the vehicle, this is a high safety alert issue that should be a priority for Honda to announce to the public for road safety and consumer safety. Therefore, the consumer should not have to pay monies out of the pocket as this major safety item that should be guaranteed for the life of the car, not the consumers expense. This includes there life.

Update to the July 2013 and December 2013 vehicle safety complaints (NHTSA id numbers 10523929 and 10555723 respectively) concerning the SRS dashboard light coming on permanently while operating the vehicle and resulting in the shut off of the side airbag. In April 2014, the SRS light with the dtc 15-2 code came on permanently and would not clear with my code reader. The vehicle was returned to the Honda dealer on 5/27/2014. The mileage was 121,133. The Honda tech diagnosed the problem as a failed printed circuit in the dashboard gauge control module after being unable to clear the SRS diagnostic code. A new gauge control module was installed on 6/16/2014. I retained the old part. So far the SRS dashboard light has not come back on permanently again. Updated 08/18/14

Update to July/2013 complaint regarding SRS light coming on permanently. 9/11/13 SRS light came on permanently again. Dtc 15-2 code. The Honda dealer replaced the SRS control unit on 10/1/13. Mileage 114,126. I have the old SRS control unit in my possession. 10/21/13 SRS light come on permanently again. 11/4/13 Honda dealer reset the SRS light. Dtc codes were different than the dtc 15-2. mileage 114,925. No charge by dealer. 11/24/13 SRS light came on permanently again. Honda dealer diagnosed problem as a short in one of the wiring harnesses triggering the dtc 15-2 code. Dealer reset the SRS light. No charge for 4 hours of work. Dealer would not give me any paperwork on service visit. Mileage approximately 115,437 at time of visit. The dealer tech suggested I clear the code with a code reader until it would no longer clear rather than blindly replacing at this time the 4 wiring harnesses to locate the short. The consumer also stated the head lights burned out prematurely, and he had to replace them several times. Updated 01/29/14

The SRS dashboard light stayed on while operating the vehicle. The vehicle went into the Honda dealer on 2/18/2013. The dtc code read by the technician was dtc 15-2 (faulty side airbag indicator circuit). The opds unit (occupant position detection system) was replaced on 2/25/2013. Per the Honda service bulletin 06-009, the vehicle VIN number was outside the VIN numbers for the 2004 CR-V's eligible for the extended warranty in the class action settlement. On 6/6/2013 the SRS dashboard light again stayed on while operating the vehicle and was returned to the Honda dealers. The mileage was 110,242. The dtc code detected was the same code as the previous visit, dtc 15-2. the opds sensor was determined to be faulty and it was replaced on 6/28/2013. Since the last visit to the Honda dealer, the SRS light has not stayed on permanently. For your information, I purchased the vehicle new from the Honda dealer in 2004.

CR-V

  • 104,500 miles
I was traveling at approx 55 to 60 mph on the fwy. I started to slow down when I saw 2 cars that were at a dead stop in my lane way ahead of me, they just sat there so I hit my brakes harder & my brakes locked up. My car then went out of control and I tried my best to control it. I did manage to keep my car from rolling. My car was going back and forth on 2 wheels on the drivers side and the passengers side. I was also spinning and fishtailing and the back end of my CR-V (passenger side) hit the back end of the driver side of a sedan in the #3 or #4 lane. That impact sent my CR-V straight into the cement center divider of the freeway. I hit the center divider head on and went up and it felt like I was going to go over it onto the other side of the freeway but my CR-V came back down right in front of the center divider with the smashed up bumper facing the center divider. My CR-V hit the center divider hard enough for my body to bend the steering wheel back. Not one of my 4 air bags went off. I had this CR-V in the Honda dealer 14 days earlier to repair the airbag recall (I have all of the paperwork detailing this) I have pictures of the injuries from hitting and bending the steering wheel. I also chipped 3 teeth. I have pictures of the airbag sensor and the bent metal around it. The chp officers, tow truck driver, the person that I hit and the body shop personnel all have the same question that do; the airbag should have gone off, why didn't it and why was I injured? I could have been killed. Honda has had several problems with this year and model of CR-V, yet they do nothing about them. The seat belts, & the airbags definitely malfunctioned. I have had 2 other similar problems with the brakes locking up on me and I think that there may be a problem with the brakes or wheels. This car needs to be looked at. I have never had any problems w/any of my 4 Honda past.
