This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Air bag sensor light came on and stayed on all day. Took vehicle to dealership, who informed consumer that there was a defect in electrical system, and it will have to be replaced, or air bags will malfunction in a crash.*akvehicle owner has been sent a free service reminder for technical problems with on board diagnostic, that causes it to not comply with the federal clean air act.
While driving, and upon coming to a complete stop another vehicle rear ended consumer, however the air bags did not deploy. There were minor injuries. Please provide vehicle identification number.
Air bag warning light appeared on the dashboard, dealer said the air bag system control unit was defective and would not safely deploy in cas of an accident.
SRS control unit is the electrical / computer part that runs the air bag system and has failed twice in the past 14 months. The "SRS" light remains lit at start-up. The replacement part is $360+ alone. I believe this is a problem with these parts in Honda, as my parent's Accord has a similar problem and I have found other owner's complaints posted across the internet. American Honda (as I am sure other manufacturers are the same) won't stand behind these computer/electrical parts for more than 12 months / 12,000 miles. I believe a vital safety component such as this should be designed and built with warrantee to last longer than the headlights and other non-essential electrical parts. I am sure other Honda owners have been victimized, as I have been twice now in 5 years, by this faulty component.
Air bag light on instrument panel has come on and has stayed on. Contacted dealer, and dealer noted that potentially air bags will not deploy or deploy unexpectedly.
The passenger side air bag light came on and will not go out, the dealer says it is not a recall item.the gas pedal is very rough and hard to push down feels like it is catching on something the dealer said that there is nothing wrong with it.
This is the third time the SRS light has come on. The first time I had to pay to get it fixed and was told nothing was wrong and the unit was reset. The second time the reset it when I took the car in for brakes. After 4 months the light is back on. This originally occured 3 months out of warrenty and lynwood Honda would not do anything for me. I feel this is a defect in the car system.
The SRS light comes on and does not go off, the first time it occured dealer replaced the SRS control unit under warranty, however it has happened again and dealer states it is no longer under warranty and they will not cover, even though the dealer diagnosed the problem as being the same thing previously.
SRS light stays on. Dealer says bad controller for airbag system and is not covered by any type of warranty, estimate to repair $350. This is a safety componenent of the vehicle. Like a seatbelt it should work as long as the car runs.
