AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
I HAVE 2000 HONDA ACCORD LX (AUTO) AND I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY AIR BAG SYSTEM. MY SRS LIGHT TURNED ON, HOWEVER I CAN'T RECALL WHEN IT STARTED BUT IT IS SAFE TO SAY THAT IT'S STARTED A COUPLE YEARS BACK. BUT ANY WAYS, I HAVE HAD MY SRS SYSTEM LOOKED AT AND RESET SEVERAL TIMES AND THE SRS LIGHT JUST KEEPS COMING BACK ON. I BELIEVE THERE IS DEFECT WITH THE SRS SYSTEM BECAUSE SEVERAL OF MY FRIEND AND COLLEAGUES AT WORK HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. CAN THE NHTSA PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU. *JB

ILLUMINATED SRS LIGHT. HONDA REPLACED SENSOR IN JULY 2002; HOWEVER HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE SRS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED SINCE SENSOR REPLACEMENT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP WOULD RESET SYSTEM; HOWEVER CHARGED FEE TO TEST SYSTEM. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP ALSO MENTIONED TO NOT PUT ANYTHING IN PASSENGER SEAT TO AVOID LIGHT FROM COMING ON. PASSENGER SEAT IS RARELY OCCUPIED. SINCE EXTENDED WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, SRS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ONCE AGAIN. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
DT: 2000 HONDA ACCORD. THE SRS (SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM) LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED DEALERSHIP, AND THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A SWITCH THAT WAS UNDER A RECALL. THE LIGHT TOLD THEM IT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. CONTACTED MY MANUFACTURER, THEY SAID THAT VEHICLE WAS NOT RECALLED. SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON FOR ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF. CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT HIS FAMILY'S SAFETY. *AK

DT:THE CONTACT STATED THE PASSENGER'S SIDE FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT A COLLISION WHILE THE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING A T40-50 MPH. SHE DID NOT HIT ANYTHING. SHE WAS ON A PAVED ROAD AND DID NOT GO OVER ANY BIG BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE SRS LIGHT WAS COMING ON AND GOING OFF INTERMITTENTLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS PRIOR TO THIS HAPPENING. NO ONE WAS HURT.

SRS WARNING LIGHT ON 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 KEEPS ON ACTIVATING. I HAVE SENT MY CAR TO A LOCAL AUTO REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THE CAR DIAGNOSED ON AUGUST 30, 2005. THE MECHANIC, WHO IS A MASTER DIAGNOSTIC TECHNICIAN AND MANAGER OF THE REPAIR SHOP INFORMED ME HE DID NOT DETECT ANYTHING WRONG, BUT A FALSE ALARM. HE RESET THE SRS SYSTEM. AGAIN, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME BACK ON 2 DAYS LATER AND BROUGHT BACK MY CAR TO HAVE THE SRS WARNING LIGHT RESET ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2005. I FOUND AN ARTICLE ON THE WEB INDICATING THE HONDA ACCORD HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE SRS WARNING LIGHT. HTTP://WWW.THEAUTOCHANNEL.COM/NEWS/2005/08/17/140535.HTML. *JB

THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AT 74,000 MILES. FROM READING THROUGH THE COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2000 HONDA ACCORDS. IT ALSO SEEMS THAT PEOPLE HAVE SPENT A LOT OF MONEY TO "TRY" TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, BUT WITH LITTLE SUCCESS. NOW I HAVE TO DECIDE BETWEEN SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY, POSSIBLY TO NO AVAIL, OR DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR WITH NO AIRBAGS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE ASAP AND ISSUE A RECALL, IF NEEDED, BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. *NM

MY SRS LIGHT ON MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD HAS COME ON AND IT MEANS MY AIRBAGS ARENT WORKING. I BROUGHT IT IN TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY GAVE ME SOME BS ABOUT ELECTONIC INTERFERENCE. THEY DIDNT GIVE ME A PERMANENT FIX AND IM NERVOUS THAT MY AIRBAGS MIGHT NOT WORK. HONDA DOESNT HAVE A PERMANENT SOLUTION FOR GETTING THE SRS LIGHT FIXED! WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR FIXING A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CLEARLY IS HONDA'S DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS?

SAME PROBLEM AS DESCRIBED IN INVESTIGATION #PE05043. THE RED SRS WARNING LIGHT STUCK ON IN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EXV6 RECENTLY. IT IS AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. THERE ARE TWO LIGHTS RELATED TO AIRBAG IN THE CAR, ONE RED, ONE ORANGE "SIDE AIRBAG OFF". THE ORANGE LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF DEPENDS ON WHETHER THERE IS A LIGHT OBJECT ON THE PASSENGER SEAT OR NOT. THE RED LIGHT INDICATES PROBLEMS AND DOES NOT GOES OFF EVEN THERE IS NOTHING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IT IS THE FIRST TIME WE SAW THE RED LIGHT STUCK ON IN THE PAST 5 YEARS SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR NEW. FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET, WE KNOW THE PROBLEM IS COMMON, AND CAN BE RECURRING. HONDA HAS THE OBLIGATION TO FIX THE DESIGN, AND RECALL THE CARS. PLEASE HELP US! LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED FURTHER INFO REGARDING MY CAR. *NM

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
I BOUGHT MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD BRAND NEW, OFF THE LOT. TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING IT, MY SRS LIGHT WENT ON. I CALLED THE SALESPERSON WHO ASSURED ME THAT IT WAS JUST A DASHBOARD DEFECT IN THAT MAKE AND MODEL -- NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. AT LEAST ONCE EACH YEAR SINCE, I'VE HAD TO PAY OVER $100 BECAUSE THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM HAD TO BE RE-DIAGNOSED BEFORE THE LIGHT WAS SHUT OFF. I'VE GROWN SO USED TO HAVING THE LIGHT ON AND IT JUST BEING A DASHBOARD NUISANCE, I'VE COME TO IGNORE IT. THAT WAS UNTIL THIS MORNING, WHEN A HONDA SERVICE PERSON INFORMED ME THAT WHEN IT IS ON -- SIMPLE DEFECT OR NOT -- THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT RELEASE DURING AN ACCIDENT. WHAT IF, BASED ON THE INFORMATION -- OR LACK OF INFORMATION I'VE BEEN GIVEN IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS -- I HAD AN ACCIDENT AND NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED? HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE IN THIS SITUATION? A LOT FROM THE LOOKS OF THE COMPLAINTS FILED ON THIS SITE, ALONG WITH COMPLAINTS ON THE SRS ISSUE POSTED ON THE INTERNET OVERALL. IF IT WAS SIMPLY A DASHBOARD MALFUNCTION -- AS IT HAS BEEN POSITIONED TO ME IN THE PAST -- THAT WOULD BE ONE THING. BUT, WHEN I CALLED HONDA'S 800 NUMBER TO CONFIRM WHAT THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME AND LEARNED THAT HE IS CORRECT -- THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF THAT LIGHT IS ON...IT IS NOT JUST A SIMPLE DASHBOARD ISSUE...I WANT TO MAKE SURE OTHERS KNOW. *JB

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
IN SEPT. 2003 THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER WHO SAID THE UNIT "FAILS TEST" WE WERE INFORMED THIS MIGHT INVOLVE REPLACEMENT PARTS WHICH WOULD NOT BE UNDER WARRANTY. SINCE THIS WAS A 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX WITH ONLY 49000 MILES I FELT THIS WAS AN UNWARRANTED REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA AGREED TO COVER THE REPAIR. THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS REPLACED ON 10/3/03. ON 10/8/03 WE BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE SRS LIGHT HAD COME BACK ON. THIS TIME THE DEALER SAID WE NEEDED A NEW SEAT BUCKLE. THIS WAS REPLACED ON 10/22/03. IN (APPROXIMATELY) JULY 2005 THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. WE CONTACTED OUR AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WERE TOLD WE WOULD PROBABLY HAVE TO REPLACE THE UNIT AGAIN. THIS DOES NOT SEEM NORMAL TO HAVE SUCH A PART FAIL SO OFTEN. ALSO, THE SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD OFTEN COME ON, IF A PURSE OR BAG WAS ON OUR SIDE NEXT TO THE DOOR. TO DATE WE HAVE NOT BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN BUT ARE CONCERNED THAT WE DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT.*JB

CAR: 2000 HONDA ACCORD 2DR V6 PROBLEM: SRS LIGHT AFTER NUMEROUS COMPUTER RESETS, SRS LIGHT MANAGES TO COME BACK ON. AFTER TAKING TO DEALER, WAS TOLD ON VARIOUS OCCASIONS THAT IT WAS DUE TO FAULTY SEAT-BELT SENSOR. HONDA DID NOT SERVICE DUE TO OUT-OF-WARRANTY, AND EXCESSIVE COST TO FIX THE SENSOR. SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT DUE TO THE NATURE OF FAILURE.

WHILE SIMPLY DRIVING, THE SRS LIGHT ON THE DASH TURNED ON FOR MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD V6. IT APPEARS THAT MANY PEOPLE RECEIVE THE SRS LIGHT IN THEIR HONDAS, YET FEW EVER GO GET THEM FIXED. THE LIGHT HAS BEEN FIXED BY THE DEALER FOR A WHOPPING ~$400! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY OUTRAGEOUS. NO WONDER THE PEOPLE I KNOW THAT HAS THE SRS LIGHT DON'T WANT TO GET IT FIXED. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR THE DRIVER AND SHOULD BE FIXED FOR FREE! THERE WERE NO INJURIES OR AND CRASHES IN MY CASE, BUT IF THERE WAS TO BE A GOOD SIZED ACCIDENT, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THE DEALER, I BELIEVE, REPLACED THE ENTIRE DRIVER'S SEAT AND THE SRS SENSOR. PLEASE, THIS HAS BEEN A FREQUENT PROBLEM WITH HONDAS - THAT THE SRS LIGHT WOULD SPONTANEOUSLY LIGHT UP. THIS PROBLEM HAS TO BE ADDRESSED AS THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.
