All recalls have been completed on this 2003 Honda Odyssey Van but every now and then the warning light for the supplemental restraint system comes on and will stay on for a long time. the next trip it will be fine. Just wondering if this is something to be concerned about. It is a car we keep at our beach house and only use on a limited basis but I need to know it is safe. I recently had vehicle scanned and had all old codes cleared. If the air bag situation is the cause of this I don't want to be driving it. East Coast Honda in Myrtle Beach, SC.

We disposed of the vehicle and yet still get messages from Honda. The vehicle was sold as scrap. Please advise Honda to cease and desist all further contact/notifications about the recall(s). We have notified them many times yet they persist. This is a discredit to the recall system when obviously false and erroneous messages are persistently sent, in error. This causes the user to disregard potentially serious information. Honda must have a method of accountability added to their system to alllow the removal from their recall database of a vehicle which has been sold/transferred/destroyed. Honda has an 'F' rating with the BBB on this issue. Honda apparently does not take recalls seriously.
Yellow SRS warning light come on when driving on a rough road. This tells me that air bag system is not working properly. It may not deploy in an accident. This issue started since 2009. Second issue is that front brakes vibrate so much. I had full brake service and resurface disc but it only stop this problem for couple thousand miles then vibration comes back when braking. High speed braking cause even more vibration.
SRS light stays on when car is running. Honda representative says recall work on our car's SRS system was done twice, in 2014 and 2017, and for any further work we must take it to a dealer.
