Airbag passenger light kept staying on longer and longer, eventually turns off. At 114, xx light stayed on then soon after airbag light indicator on dash was illuminated. There are no accidents on the vehicle. No repairs or modifications to affect system. I took the vehicle to dealer since it was out of warranty by 3 months. I did tell them about the intermittent issues but assumed all was well. They did a diagnostic that took well over 4 hours to isolate the possible issue. Dealer's response; after pin testing fuse box found bad pss fuse/ relay box. Was told to sign a waiver to drive my own vehicle out the lot. The entire airbag system is down and will not work until repaired. I was in shock to know that if I had an accident my family and I could be in grave danger, they said they have no idea how long it could of not been working. I called Honda America to complain case# N012014-10-0900059. They said the car is too old and out of warranty for them to cover the repair. I have since parked the car and have'nt driven it since. This is our 7th Honda and never would expect this type of service or reliability on this vehicle.

Air bag warning light was coming on intermittently starting on approximately 10/6/2014, became permanent 11/02/2014. During that time span side airbag off warning light came on several times for several minutes then turned off and has stayed off excepted when car is turned on and car runs thru diagnostic routine. Had car serviced on 11/13/2014----Honda tech indicated code of 1018, per tech-indicates open or short in system, he was not sure where failure is--and not sure what fee would be to locate and repair failure. Said it could run into the $100's just to locate failure. Considering my side airbag light off light came on and the investigation into sideair bag deployment and recall of tanaka airbags I will wait to see decision and see if SRS light comes on for a more precise diagnostic at my next visit to Honda dealer.

My mother's car is garage kept and only has 31,000 miles. I haven't driven her car in years and when I did the other day I noticed that the airbag light was on and did not come off. She is elderly and she thought that it was her seat belt light. I took it into Honda dealer right away because of all of the recalls going on. They said that it would cost $517 to fix the restraint control unit for the airbag. Explained as little computer to tell the airbags when to deploy if in an accident. If not fixed airbags will not deploy if in an accident. Shouldn't this be covered under warranty or considered in the recalls! now I am seeing complaints about this all over the net. So now what" and will this be included with all of the massive airbag recall problems" at first we were told that the recall did not include this year and model....I beg to differ.

I got out of the passenger seat of my 2008 Honda Accord and closed the door shut. Upon the door closing the door the side impact airbags on the passenger side of the vehicle inflated. The curtain airbags and the seat airbag was deployed causing ear pain to my fianc who was getting things from the backseat. I have reached out to Honda and was told that it was not their fault and basically given the runaround. I have researched this particular incident with this particular Honda model and notice there is an open investigation by the NHTSA. I hope this can help move the process of a recall along.

I bought my 2008 Honda Accord new. Recently at 80K miles, the SRS light will stay on all the time when the car is running. I brought the car to the local Honda dealer and they told me the SRS module need to be replace and the cost for it is close to $500. I just feel ridiculous because the car had never been in any accident before and how come the airbag system just fail just like that. American Honda should cover this under the warranty. And I do believe they have a defective SRS unit. Please go over with the airbag problems and you will see the same exact problem happened to may people. Someone needs to take an action and let american Honda to take action before someone get hurts. Not everyone can afford to fix this out of their pockets and many of them just let the light on/ SRS airbag system off without fixing it.

I was grabbing my books out of my passenger seat and when I closed the door my side top airbags and passenger seat side airbag completely deployed! I went online and found many different cases of people closing there doors of 2008 Honda Accord and airbags going off. I just bought this car it is in brand new condition and now I have to drive around with deployed airbags it 1) looks ridiculous and 2) is completely unsafe because godforbid I actually get into an accident with them deployed! I think it is absurd if I have to pay 5,000 for new airbags for simply shutting my door a little too hard!!!

I have a 2008 Honda Accord. While the car was parked, but running, the front passenger door was shut slightly harder than normal, and the side curtain and seat airbags deployed on the passenger side only. There was not a side collision or evidence that the car was hit. I took it to gillman Honda in houston tx and paid $125 for a diagnostic test. They said the sensor for the side airbag went off (code F4-11) and it wasn't covered under the extended warranty. I made a claim with Honda usa. An inspector came and claimed he noticed previous damage (scrapes) to the undercarriage of the car and even though the airbags didn't deploy then, that may have caused it. I told them my concern is that the airbags deployed so sensitively and I have a 3 year old child. I don't want him to get injured. How can I ensure it won't happen again. They responded the reason the airbags deployed was inconclusive and it would not be covered.

2208 Honda Accord, never been in the accident, SRS stay on and the off (passenger air bag on). Took the Honda dealer and they told me the SRS unit defected. And will cost me $500. I bought the car brand new never been any accident. I think Honda should cover this safety device under warranty.

Started getting a red light with seat belts sign. Checked in the manual - should take it to the dealer and get it repaired. According to the dealer the SRS air bag control unit needs to be changed.if there was an accident - the bags will not operate - whole purpose of the air bag safety will be in vain. The repair cost is around $460. I saw lots of complaints about this issue on the internet for 2008 Honda Accord. Hope the dept. Of transportation will look into it and do something about it.

This recall began on 7/31/2011. I purchased this vehicle on 2/1/2012. I should have never been sold this vehicle until it was inspected and repaired.

My 2008 Honda Accord has never been in an accident. While operating the vehicle on city streets, the air bag light spontaneously came on in the instrument panel. Car was taken in for diagnostic evaluation and I was told that there is a SRS system failure- meaning the air bag system does not work. To replace would cost $487 or I could operate the vehicle knowing that the air bags would not deploy if I were in an accident. I called Honda to explain that this is a safety feature that has failed at 86,000 miles and should be covered. I was told that the vehicle is not covered after 36,000 miles. I was also told that my vehicle is not included in their most recent recall of air bag problems.

- Nashville, TN, USA

I purchased this car last year and it had over 150000, as I checked the oil I noticed it was low I have added 1 qt in between every oil change. My second problem was during the winter on the real cold days the starter sounded like it was hanging up as described as the vtc actuator. My third problem is the warning light on the dash for the air bag has illuminated. I contacted Honda today and they told me the light only comes on after it has been to the body shop" also I have received a claim form for a reimbursable deployment prior to Feb 13 2014. I have not been in a accident and neither has the car. So if there is a claim for the air bag deployment why isn't there a recall for the air bag"

- Holly Springs, MS, USA

Air bag sensor illuminated while driving rendering the air bags inoperative. The vehicle was taken to the Honda dealer on the next business day. Parts and labor was $697. There should be a recall on this safety issue.
