| The srs (airbags) light has been on for over 2 years. it indicates the airbags are malfunction. initially, i attempted to re-set the light twice, but it came back shortly after resetting. after searching through internet and nhtsa website here, i realize that this is a widespread problem with 1997 honda accord model. since this is a serious safety issue and is not drivers fault, honda should hold the responsibility and issue a recall to repair it. *tr | |||

| I have several complaints: 1) the srs light came on. the dealer claimed that i needed a new computer at a cost of $900. i researched possible problems on this and other websites and had listed the technical service bulletins that were relevant. the dealer was not so thorough. my research showed that honda had been having problem with these computers already for several years and done nothing about it. the problem was with a sensor on the passenger side air bag which was malfunctioning in such a way as to leave in doubt whether or not the air bag would deploy. it is ridiculous that consumers have to pay nearly 1,000.00 to fix systemic problems in a safety system that have repeatedly not been addressed. 2) my abs light started coming on. when starting the engine the pump motor for the abs system would activate and attempt to pump fluid in the system. it could be heard from inside the car as a grinding noise. it would cycle on and off for about 6 or so times then the relay would trip, turn off motor and illuminate the abs light. the dealer claimed that the ams module was malfunctioning and needed replacement at a cost of 1,700.00. ridiculous. after doing some research online it seems that this is also a common failure for this make and model of car. 3) wireless entry system failed. 4) a/c evaporator sprung a leak 5) driver side passenger door auto lock does not work. this car is far from reliable, as advertised to be, and very questionable in the safety department. i am finished with honda! *tr | |||

| Srs light on 1997 honda accord coming on. diagnosed for $85. battery replaced. a week later it came back on and stayed on. after another $85, told that srs system is bad, and it will be $830 to replace. i see on the internet that this is a common problem, and learn that the replacement part is upgraded. i bought the honda because of its high reliability and would appreciate being refunded by honda. *jb | |||

| S.r.s light malfuncting on 97 honda accord and honda motor company refuses to acknowdledge it has a problem with this system. articles on the internet report that honda airbags at times do not deploy when involved in accidents where they should have. honda motor company states in the owners manual that this system does not require maintenance and that be checked in 10 years. i feel the the honda motor company should held accountable for this problem and made liable to repair this safety problem when contacted. *jb | |||

| My srs has come on for the third time in my car. the dealer told me while the srs light is on, the air bags won't deploy in the event of an accident. the first two times this has happen, the dealer reset the light. they told me it would cost $800 to fix. i don't have $800 sitting around, therefore i had them reset the light. this is a major safety concern honda needs to address. i bought a car with air bags, and right now my air bags won't deploy. if the seatbelts in my car are covered under a lifetime warranty then why aren't the air bags (it's all part of the srs). i have done absolutely nothing to the car to cause this. i don't feel i should have to sacrifice my life as well as any of my passenger's lives because i don't have $800 to fix honda's problem. i've checked other resources on the internet and have found numerous honda owners with the same problem. i think this should prompt an immediate recall.*ak | |||

| I took my vehicle in to the dealership to have the srs light checked out. i was told it was a system unit failure. i was given a price $852.63 to get this repaired. by getting this repaired/replaced i would have a 1 year warranty; but no guarantee that it won't happen again within or after a year. after researching your website (nhtsa), i saw a huge number of complaints on the same matter. i then decided to wait to get it replaced; this is too much money to have it continually replaced. i wanted to know if honda will be sending out a recall. or is this a lost cause.*ak | |||

| The airbag control unit failed spontaneously (no accident or tampering) in a very well maintained and relatively new vehicle. failed control unit means the airbag won't deploy when needed. my complaint concerns honda's predatory pricing for this component - $580 for the part, more than $700 with dealer installation. this would seem to lead most owners (possibly myself included) to ignore a problem in a critical safety system.*ak | |||

| Supplemental restraint system indicator light always goes on when we drive the car, which means the system has a problem and we will not be able to benefit from the srs if there were a crash. the manufacturertold owners to have the srs checked after 10 years old of the car. my car is only 5 years old and has only 42000 miles on it. i guess the manufacturer should be responsible for this failure.*ak | |||

| The srs system warning light came on and stayed lit. i took it to my mechanic (a honda specialist) whose computer testing indicated that the srs control unit was defective.he stated that he had seen this problem numerous times and suggested i speak to honda headquarters, which i did. please note that a friend with the same model car had the same problem with srs light staying on.having explained the problem and concerns over safety issues, i was told that my warranty had expired and that i must take it to the dealer and pay for this very costly part ($600+), and that they must make diagnosis there for honda to consider good will reimbursement. when i called the service dept., the woman answering the phone said she had the same problem with her honda and had to have this part replaced! upon bring car into dealership, the diagnosis was confirmed that the srs control unit needed replacement,as the airbags were not functional. i presented documentation as to my meticulous service record with this vehicle and argued that this part should not fail, not having been a regular use part and certainly should last more than 50,000 miles. they finally agreed to pay half of the part, but not tax or labor. my total expense for the diagnosis and service cost $450.00. i was quite dissatisfied and attempted to pursue this with honda america on numerous occasions, expressing my concerns that this seems to be a problematic part in numerous honda vehicles, from anecdotal accounts, and that i felt this is a real safety issue and one that they should be responsible for. they did not wish to pursue the issue with my mechanic or study the old part to evaluate the defective mechanism. the rep at honda america said you didn't have all your maintenance at the dealership which in my view should not affect this particular part's failure and which disregards the careful and timely service this car has gotten. they simply said, it's past your warranty period and it is a 5 year old car!.* | |||

| The complaint is regarding the srs module. the unit malfunctioned, giving a red dashboard alarm light. the local honda dealer attempted to reset the trouble light, but couldn't. the dealer indicated the part number on my service invoice as honda part # 06772-sv4-a71 for a 1997 honda accord. i queried several salvage yards for a used part as the oem part was in excess of $500. i was sent the srs module from a salvage yard only to discover that the srs module was indeed from a 1997 honda, however, my srs module (the original defective srs module) was from a 1996 honda.obviously, i purchased a new 1997 honda with a 1996 electronic part. this part was or could have been on the shelf for about 2 years before it was installed in my vehicle. my srs part number taken from my vehicle has part # model 77960-sv4-a93. what is a 1996 part doing in my new 1997 vehicle? moreover, this is a critical safety issue that is a direct reflection on life or death..............namely mine and my family. electronic parts are not like engine parts that have indefinite shelf life. a crank shaft can sit on a shelf for 30 years and still work properly when installed. try the same thing with an electronic component. thanks, steve chludzinski. *ak | |||

| The srs light has repeatedly come on. honda service says the sensor/module is bad and needs to be replace at a cost of $715.00. the air bags have never been deployed. honda should warrant this safety equipment item at no cast to the owner. the warning light is currently on and cannot be reset according to honda service department. *la | |||

| The srs warning light came on at about 107000 miles. it was checked and reset at honda service. within 100-200 miles it came on again. when taken to honda service for the next oil service the light-on was checked again and could not be reset. i was told the sensor needed to be replaced at a cost of $715.00. needless to say, i am driving with the light on. i bought the veh. new and it has never been in an accident. replacement of parts for normal wear and tear is understandable, but not for parts that are never activated. this should be a honda responsibility. i am not sure if the air bags will deploy if i am in an accident and the light is a constant nusance. i have aslo had the service engine on light reset a number of time during ownership with no fault present. the day i was at honda service there were 2 other owners requesting service for a srs on light. jenkins and wynne honda of clarksville, tn services my veh.

| The srs light on our 1997 honda ex-v6 model will not go off. we complained to the dealer, willey honda, (where the automobile was purchased new and all service work has been done) and they simply turned the light off saying there must be a short in the light. the first complaint was before the warranty was up on the vehicle. several times since when it has come back on - they would turn it off. now they are telling us it must be the computer system and they want us to pay $750.+ to have it repaired properly as the air bags might not be working right! we feel this is a safety issue and they should have taken care of the problem the first time instead of guessing. this should not be our problem no matter how many miles are on the car! we are, now, afraid to drive it in case they inflate when they shouldn't or when they should. i filed a complaint with customer service honda and they said the warranty was up and i would need to pay. i just heard about your agency or i would have contacted you when it first happened! thanks so much for whatever you can do for me! there isn't really an incident date but the program wouldn't let me go on without a date. i put the date the news of the cost was given to me at willey honda! *jb | |||

| The driver side airbag in my car is defective, causing the srs system to be inactive. honda states that this is an isolated incident and that it is not their responsibility to replace this faulty part. i was wondering if anyone else around the country may have experienced this same problem. what good is a safety feature if the manufacturer won't warrant it for more than 4 years? *ak | |||
| Consumer was involved in a frontal collision in which driver's air bag did not deploy. please give any further details. *ak | |||
