I bought this car from a used car dealer. The horn works intermittently about 10% of the time. I was nearly run off the road on several occasions since then because I could not honk at people drifting into my lane. I have spent over $300 investigating this issue and replacing parts that I was told were the culprit. I do not know where else to turn. This is a serious safety issue, and it should be a recall with all Honda/Acura since they all use the same assembly.

My SRS light continues to illuminate, even after resetting it. It seems as if latching and/or unlatching the seat belt triggers the light. However, I'm apprehensive to pay a labor rate of $107/hour for the dealer to follow their "flowchart" to possibly find the issue. I am worried with the SRS light illuminated that the airbags will not deploy in a front collision and believe Honda should recall all vehicles of my type to have airbags and seat belts sensors checked free of charge. I have seen a few bulletins/recalls for 2002 Civics, but not for the 2002 Civic si, which is the model I own.

- Kenosha, WI, USA

My SRS light, the sensor that checks my airbag system, has come on in my car and it won't go off. This is the second time that it has come on, the first time that it came on was around August 2005. The dealership fixed it at no cost. I don't understand why this light would keep coming on and they can't give me a specific reason why the light has come on again.

- Atlanta, GA, USA

SRS light came on without any reason... dealership assures that no recalls have been issued on my make/model of car... however acknowledged that is common scenario for my make/model year... while SRS light is lit up indicates problem with seatbelts and/or airbags, the issue with seatbelts is that they will not engage/lock when brakes are slammed on and airbags will not deploy while SRS light remains lit up... Honda charges $90 to hookup to diagnostic system to determine if seatbelts or airbags, seatbelts are covered under lifetime guarantee and airbags are not... if it is a known issue as apparently it is while viewing complaints on both NHTSA.gov and Honda forums the diagnostic fee should be waived as well as recall be issued to repair any and all issues with SRS, isn't important to ensure safety and save lives....

- Great Neck , NY, USA

Car: 2002 Honda Civic LX automatic problem: SRS light came off with no reason after a web search found many people complained of the same problem and Honda issued a recall for 2001 models but not for 2002 model year even the same sensors and parts are in place.

- Virginia Beach, VA, USA

The SRS light has been on for approximately 6 months. The car was on the recall list for the airbag inflater, so I took the car on 03/20/10 to be repaired. While there, the recall was fixed, however I was told that there was a problem with the SRS control module which controls the deployment of the airbag system which is not covered by the recall. Therefore, the airbags will not deploy due to an internal failure on this control unit. Upon doing a search of this problem on the internet, it seems as though this is common to a number of 2001 - 2002 Honda Civics and Accord...
