The airbags in the 1998 Honda CRV's have been found to be defective with no remedy, which is absolutely unacceptable in a vehicle over 20 years old. This vehicle is used to Transport my family and it is unbelievable that Honda can allow such a fatal problem to go unsolved for so many years. They should be held accountable for any injuries sustained due to these dysfunctional airbags until they are able to replace said airbags without charge.

CR-V 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 114,750 miles
The battery went dead on my 1998 Honda CR-V. I had it replaced, and discovered that the SRS(safety restraint system was disabled as a result of determining that a new battery was needed. I contacted a Honda service center and was told that as long as the SRS light was on, the air bag system was off and that it would cost about $90 to have it turned off. I also was told to drive it for a week (without protection from the SRS and perhaps the computer would recycle and turn the SRS back on. My complaint is this: Because of poor engineering of the SRS system and the computer, Honda has forced me to either drive a car without the safety that I bought, or pay a service center to enable the system...all over a real simple repair...replacing a battery. I can understand the need to reset the clock, radio, or other less essential electronics, but the air bags! Honda is forcing me to spend money that I don't have in order to use a safety system that I feel is essential for driving safety. Honda should enable this system for me at no charge. Please help.

Loved my Honda CR-V, but on March 20, 2006, I hit a slick spot while it was snowing. I proceeded to lose control of my vehicle, going into the ditch front first. Had a front impact, then began to flip 2-3 times once end to end and skidding 30+ feet. My seat belt held, but my airbags did not deploy, I could have died, and if there had been a passenger, they would have, the whole passenger side was caved in. This was how ever the only problem I had ever experienced with this car. Car is a very reliable car.
