| RQ09004 | HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.) | 11/02/2009 | 05/06/2010 | RUPTURING DRIVER'S AIR BAG INFLATORS | ||
| This rq investigation was opened to collect and analyze additional information to better evaluate the scope and timeliness of honda's two safety recalls addressing rupturing of the driver's side air bag inflators (08v-593 and 09v-259).in an earlier response to rmd's request for information, honda indicated that the second recall (09v-259), essentially an expansion of the first (08v-593), was necessary since later information informed that the source of the defect was different than originally postulated, and so the scope of the vehicles affected changed. honda indicated that it had relied on its supplier of the air bag inflators, takata, inc. (takata), in studying the possible sources of the inflator ruptures and identifying the recall populations.accordingly, rmd issued a request forinformation to takata on november 20, 2009, and takata provided a partial response on december 23, 2009.takata then provided its complete response on february 19, 2010.takata informed odi that, after analysis of several ruptured inflators, takata and honda initially attributed the defect to handling of the propellant during inflator assembly that could have yielded increased moisture levels that, when coupled with thermal cycling in automobiles over time, could lead to reduced propellant density and overly aggressive combustion during air bag deployment.however, it discovered upon review of inflators returned from the 08v-593 recall campaign, some of which fell outside the manufacturing range when takata suspected the propellant was exposed to elevated moisture, that the source of the defect was more likely due to problems with a specific compression press (stokes press) used to form the inflator's propellant.specifically, the propellant tablets produced by the press were found to be less dense, and therefore more susceptible to overly aggressive combustion during air bag deployment.takata identified the manufacturing time frame over which the tablets were shown to have less dense properties as the end of calendar year 2000. takata informed honda of its discovery on or about june 12, 2009.honda made its defect decision and then notified nhtsa of it on june 30, 2009.honda then supplemented its filing with an identification of the specific vehicles to be included in the campaign, as well as identifying additional models to be included, on july 29, 2009.as with the 08v-593 campaign, takata examined inflators returned from the 09v-259 campaign, and some of which were manufactured outside of the range when the stokes press was found to have produced less dense propellant (beyond the end of february 2001).it provided those findings to honda and honda decided to expand safety recall 09v-259 to include all vehicles with inflators containing propellant manufactured using the stokes press.honda notified nhtsa of its decision on february 9, 2010.based upon all available information, there is insufficient information to suggest that honda failed to make timely defect decisions on information it was provided.also, given that all inflators with propellant manufactured using the stokes press have been recalled, there are no additional vehicles to be investigated and campaigned.accordingly, this rq is closed. | ||||||

| The subject vehicles are designed with an occupant position detection system (opds) for the passenger seat to suppress the side airbag in the event of an out-of-position occupant.on some vehicles, the opds unit and sensor grid may be susceptible to high moisture content and/or to sporadic electrical interference that would result in the illumination of the srs readiness indicator.in this condition, opds suppression will not function, but the side airbag will still deploy in the event of a side crash. honda issued a technical service bulletin in april 2004 to address this problem. however, the problem persists even after the warranty period expires.as a result, some owners may not be obtaining the necessary remedial service work.continued illumination of the srs indicator can mask the detection of other airbag component faults if they occur. in march 2006, honda issued a service bulletin (06-009) to extend the warranty on srs illumination and opds issues to 10 years or 150,000 miles (whichever occurs first).honda will send notification letters to owners of the subject vehicles and will provide a no cost replacement of the opds unit as needed.in addition, other my 1999-04 honda and acura vehicles are also covered by the bulletin.this action taken by the manufacturer is sufficient to resolve the issue raised by this investigation.the closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by nhtsa that no safety-related defect exists.the agency reserves the right to take further action if warranted by the circumstances. | ||||||

| The srs light came on in my accord, make a long story short i took it to the dealer and they run a test on it. told me that if it was the air-bag that was causing the light to come on then it would be fixed at no cost due to a safety malfunction, they run the test and it came back that it was the wires leading to the air bag but not the actual bag itself having the problem. but they told me that if the srs light was on at all the air bags would not deploy at all. so is that not a safety issue as well? *tr | |||

| Transmission failure to shift into 2nd gear some times. car taken to dealer on extended warranty and refused maintenance due to age of car.. many honda's having this problem and need a recall to resolve this issue as it shouldn't happen. second problem is driver seat belt. air bags replaced on recall and shortly after the srs light came on. dealer says problem not in air bags but driver seat belt module in seat buckle. seat belt warranty for life of vehicle but honda says the buckle where switch is not covered. you can not replace switch but must buy the complete seat belt strap and buckle. to me the seat belt buckle-strap is part of the seat belt. honda warranty says a seat belt that fails to function properly is covered for the useful life of the vehicle. this is a safety problem as with this failure honda manual says air bags will not fire when srs light on. | |||

| One year ago i purchased a 2001 honda accord at the time it had 106,000 miles on it. i hadn't had the car a week when i noticed the transmission was slipping. the problem has continuely gotten worse. i checked online to see if they had any recalls etc. on this model and sure enough honda said they would replace the transmissions up to 100,000 miles - so here i am a year later looking at $2,000 for a new transmission. in addition my passenger side air bag light continuely comes on for now apparent reason, even if there is no one sitting in the seat. i also have problems with the window on the passenger side; the part that holds the window up somehow broke and to replace it costs over $200. and finally (well i hope) my brakes seem to have a mind of their own, at times they make funny noises, sometimes they feel like they aren't going to work. if seems as if its not one thing its another. very frustrated. and now another recall. | |||

| Srs light on, based on the information available to me i believe the airbags will fail to deploy when the srs light is illuminated. honda does not cover the repair as they feel airbags are a secondary safety feature, however the fact that it had airbags and a good safety rating played a large part in my decision to purchase the 2001 accord. if manufacturers are going to exploit positive safety reviews i feel they should cover them for the life of the vehicle so long as the fault is detected by a manufacturer installed on board computer, i.e. srs light on. my wife and two kids are the primary occupants of this vehicle, it is important to me that the safety features are functional. *tr | |||

| After starting my 2001 honda accord the srs light came on and will not stay off. this light indicates that the air bags will not deploy in a major collision. i went to my dealer and spoke with the maintenance supervisor and he indicated that this was a very common problem with this model of automobile. he also said that honda does not have a recall or extended warranty for this problem. reading the internet chat rooms shows that there are hundreds of people with this same problem. in fact many owners indicated that after they were involved in a collision their airbags never did deploy even after the srs light was reset by their dealer. the cost of the repair, for me, will be from $1000 to $1500. i am a senior citizen and cannot afford to have this repaired at this time. i understand that the seat belts have a lifetime warranty but not the airbags. i feel the airbags should be treated the same as the seat belts and have the same warranty. at the very least honda should recognize this problem they have with this model and give the owners an extended warranty to cover these repairs. this is a major problem and should be addressed as there are many owners that are driving these defective honda accords and if involved in a collision their honda's airbags will not inflate. please look into this and have honda take responsibility for this problem and give some relief to all the owners of this model automobile. *tr | |||

| Srs light (supplemental safety restraints...air bags) stays on all the time on my 2001 honda accord. air bags should be warranted for life of car, i would think, but honda dealers keep blowing me off. i see on internet that many other 2001 hondas have had same problem. *tr | |||

| 2001 honda accord srs light remains on. service dept. said car is safe to drive. good news is that the airbags won't deploy when you are driving around. the bad news is that the airbags won't deploy in an accident. my research shows that honda is not concerned about consumers with this issue. there is no type of warranty coverage and it is a very expensive fix with marginal results (likely to recur). i should think that seat belts and airbags would have a lifetime warranty. *tr | |||

| I have had my 2001 honda accord for about 7 years and only recently had problems with it. first, my alarm system has been malfunctioning. the alarm will go off every so often for no reason, especially at night disturbing the neighborhood. i have to go run to the window to try to turn off the alarm. i took it to the dealer to have a $100 diagnostic test only to tell me that my alarm system was the problem (something i already knew), and it would cost another $300 to fix. second, the srs light came on and will not come off. i took my car to the dealer and it would cost $100 for a diagnostic test, which will probably tell me what i already know, and probably cost another couple hundred to fix. i have researched this problem and have found many complaints regarding this issue. this problem needs to be addressed, especially for the safety of the consumers. there should be a recall for this car. *tr | |||

| My srs light has been on since approximately june 2006. i haven't had any problems getting an inspection during this time until now. i took my car in to have it inspected and failed due to srs light. i took it to the dealership that i bought it from in september of 2003 and they said it would cost $773.00 to repair the srs control module. they charged me $110.00 for the diagnosis, which would go to the cost of repairs if i decided to have it done. honda has issued tsb's on this issue, but it does not cover my vin number nor the part that needs to be replaced. something is terribly wrong with honda's srs performance as i have seen thousands of complaints on various websites regarding different problems with the srs light. this is a severely dangerous problem that needs to be resolved. *tr | |||

| Honda accord 2001. srs indicator light on for months now with no apparent trigger (no accidents, previous airbag deployment). brought to honda dealer - charged $90 diagnostics which resulted that airbag control unit was broken. replaced at outside mechanic with original honda parts for $400, however srs light remained on despite correcting stated diagnostic problem. argued to return part because problem was not resolved, which was finally done, but dealership states that needs another $90 diagnostic to find the problem again - back to square one. concerned with safety issue of airbags not deployed in case of an accident, which appears to have occurred to other consumers. very concerned with regards honda company in their lack of concern with their product and safety of their consumers! *jb | |||

| The srs light turned on last week at 75000 miles, and i know that it is related to the airbag restraint system. my husband had the same problem couple of years ago , and the dealer told him that the use of cellophane may have caused the system to malfunction. the dealer fixed it for free because the car was still under the 36000 mile warranty. after doing some investigation i found out that this problem was very common for the 2001 models. i also found out that this problem was very costly and was no longer under warranty. i got into a car accident in march 2007, the front end of my car slid into a snow bank, and i am thankful that the damage was not major. the air bags never deployed . the srs light turned on a couple of weeks after the accident, and i was not sure if i ever had any protection at the time of the accident, since the airbags never deployed. now every time i get into my car i am very nervous because my life behind the wheel of this honda was at stake. i do not have any money to buy another car or fix get the current issue. honda should issue a recall on this!! peoples lives were in danger when they were on the road, and this should not be taken lightly by anyone. i am a mother, a wife, a sister, and a daughter. my life has value. please look into this. thank you . *ak | |||

| One day, my srs check light came on randomly. i researched it on the internet to see what the problem may be, and i was informed that they're one of the very common problems associated with the 6th generation accords, that are caused by no real problems. honda corporation is not willing to offer a remedy about the problem, even though it involves safety issues (airbags will not deploy when the srs light is illuminated). i have to take it to the dealer now and pay $80+, just to have it checked out. if my srs needs to be replaced, as with most cases experienced by other accord owners, it will be another $700+ for replacement.. thank you for your time and attention. *jb | |||

| The honda accord entered a turn lane and began decreasing speed due to a red traffic light when at the same time a truck driven by a teenage boy excessively accelerated while exiting a gas station and spun out of control. the truck crashed into the honda accord causing major damage to the front and driver side/front of car. the radiator and engine were pushed back toward the driver. the car could not be driven following the accident. none of the air bags deployed. the estimated speed of the honda at the time of the collision was 20 - 25 mph. the car is at the dealership awaiting insurance review to determine if can be repaired. *nm | |||

| I have a 2001 honda accord. my srs light has been on and my horn does not work. according to nhtsa defect investigation #pe05043, in march 2006, honda issued a service bulletin (06-009) to extend the warranty on srs illumination and opds issues to 10 years or 150,000 miles my current mileage is 86,000 miles and we have owned the vehicle for less than 10 years. i did not receive a notification letter and when i called honda sf today to inquire, they told me that the service was not covered under warranty. if my vehicle meets the criteria specified in your report, why is the dealership not honoring their warranty extension? today, the maintenance dept at sf honda suggested that the horn was connected to the airbag electronic sensors and that if i wanted to fix the problem, that no part of service would be covered under warranty. i understand that in investigation #pe05043, you have not tested to see if this defect is a valid safety issue. are there any current tests that compare the safety standards between having a functioning airbag and seat belt verses just a functioning seat belt? i don't think it's right that i should pay $1500 to fix this. i should not worry about getting into a crash especially if the car should still be covered under the warranty extension. anyway, to sum it up. 1. i want honda to honor the warranty extension per your investigation and i want honda to repair my vehicle for free. 2. i want you to investigate to find out why honda is not honoring the warranty extension for myself and possibly for other people. 3. i want you to investigate the safety implications of this faulty srs system and take appropriate action to prevent serious injury to current honda owners. thank you for your time and commitment to safety. *jb | |||

| Since the day i purchased my vehicle (aug. 2004), the side airbag/srs light have continuously come on. i have repeatedly notified the dealership of the problem and they haven't a clue. there are instances where the warning light(s) have been on for well over 2 hrs or 200+ miles. i have brought the vehicle to more than one honda location for troubleshooting, and they all have no answer. according to honda's technicians, the warning lights are not leaving a trouble code, so they proclaim they have no possible solution for the issue. the common response is the srs system is testing itself, there are too many/too little objects in the seat, cell phone interference, etc.. so far honda has not offered a proper solution, or even a probable cause. at this point i feel extremely unsafe in the vehicle due to this issue. individual's safety should not be a ignored or dismissed. i feel have been mislead from day one about the reliability, safety, or the car in general. i bought a certified used honda with the assumption of a excellent/quality vehicle. so far, i have experienced nothing but headaches, numerous serious safety/mechanical recalls, and a lack of interest on the part of honda. at this point, i am wasting my time, money, and possibly my health in this car. i do not feel safe, therefore i shouldn't have to settle for this vehicle--especially for the price i am expected to pay. it is disappointing to see issues as serious as these, being swept under the carpet by it's makers. *jb | |||

| Srs illuminated for no apparent reason. the vehicle is a 2001 honda accord ex. after dealer reset, the light came on again. when the light is on the srs is rendered inoperative. the dealer was prepared with literature for reasons that might cause the light to illuminate. i think this situation should be considered as serious as faulty seat belt and/or harness failures which are covered by the dealer on an extended warranty basis. after reading many complaints about the srs light stays on or illuminated it is obvious that my problem or system failure isnt an isolated case. it appears that many drives are accepting the light illuminated as irritating and to expensive to repair while their srs system is totally inoperative. what might even be worse is that there are quick fixes on the internet to reset the light and by repeated resetting the light might mask or ignore the root problem. the dealer charge for the diagnostic test was $80.00. the dealer agreed to reset the light again concurrent with other maintenance. after a third reset by the dealer i was told that it would not reset and the control module would need to be replaced. approximate total cost $750.00. *jb | |||

| All of the above dates and mileage are approximate. i have the information on paper at home. i have also had the hardest time with honda financial services with them calling me and saying that i never paid my monthly bill (last fall), which i did, and then finally they found the check and said "oh, our mistake, it has been here the whole time." and then now, i have them saying that i was in default of my lease because they never had information for my insurance, which my insurance was supposed to send them that information. i checked back with them a week later (today) and they said that they were going to impound my car because my insurance company never got back with them. called my insurance company, and it took 5 mins. to have someone fax over proof of insurance. that was all - was it that difficult??? this car had to have the back brakes replaced after 25000 miles (about a month ago - it was making this awful noise, like rattling chains underneath) - that should not have happened. the back window tinting lifted up after 1 year, the tire blew out on the freeway 1 month after getting it (leased the car aug 2001). the service engine light has come on twice, for no apparent reason. and the srs light was on 2 different times. had it turned off the 1st time. then 1 week later it was back on, brought back to my dealership and they said it was something wrong with the computer system, but they could not give me a good enough explanation. when i first was looking for a car at the dealership, this car was not on the lot where all the other cars for sale were, it was in the back, by the service department. asked the sales rep if the car was in okay condition and he said it was, and there was nothing wrong with it because it only had 10 miles on it - i should have known then. this car is a pain in the behind and it is just a hassle for everything that keeps happening with it. | |||

| The airbag indicator on the dashboard comes on and stays on for no apparent reason. after a while it goes off on its own. sometimes it will come on and off intermittently. i had this problem since i bought the car brand new. i took it to crystal lake honda, crystal lake, il even before the one year warranty expired and they said they could not see anything wrong with it. the problem still persists. today i was going through the complaints on this site and was shocked to see 20 complaints related to either this same exact problem or the fact that the airbags either did not deploy during accident or deployed un-necessarily. i hope honda does something about this. i bought a honda accord over a competing model because this one had side airbags. now after reading how the airbags do not deploy i am upset. let me know if there is a fix to this problem and what i can tell the dealer. *jb | |||

| On three different occasions the srs light came on which indicates there is a problem with the seat belts, the air bags, the computer sensing system or some other component of the safety system. the owners manaual instructs that ignoring the srs warning light can result in serious injury or death if the airbags, cutoff system or tensioners do not work properly. it states the car should be checked by a dealer as soon as possible if the srs light alerts you to a potential problem. when i took the accord to the dealer, the technician generated a report from honda. it stated that if there was a cell phone, a lap top computer, an inverter (used to pug electrical items into the cars cigarette lighter) any one of these might trip the srs warning light to illuminate. this is because any of these commonly used electronic devices might react with the accords air bag sensors and cause the srs light to come on. nobody knew for certain if the air bags would actually work if the srs light were on. thus common everday tools such as a cell phone or lap top computer or protable tv can surely disrupt the accords air bag system and possibly shut it down. further, because honda's dealers will charge a service fee to shut off the srs light, many american cell phone and lap top users will not take the time and expense to have the annoying srs light shut off. thus thousands of people may be driving 2001 and 2002 accords without air bag protection.*ak | |||

| At about 683 miles, srs light went on after passenger sat down (car was standing with engine idling). dealer reset computer after finding code 15-3. 3 days later, the srs light came back on also immediately after passenger was seated with car engine on. dealer was contacted and i waited about one week while dealer ordered possible replacement parts. none of the new parts including sensor fixed the problem, so original parts were left in the vehicle. i was told the original parts were already updated by honda (because honda was aware of this problem and had already made changes to parts in some vehicles). dealer reset computer again, but srs light reappeared the next day while i was driving with no passenger in the car. dealer says they can do nothing else, that the manufacturer knows about the problem but cannot fix it. service manager said honda's working on the problem and therefore i must now deal exclusively with the manufacturer. dealer says only passenger air bags are affected but it is not clear how they know this. in the meantime, i have been told that the passenger airbag will not deploy in the event of a crash. i am very concerned about this for all airbags in the car, and also about possible inadvertent deployment. i am very disappointed about the lack of concern both by dealer and manufacturer about potential injuries that may result from this defect and the fact that a solution is not imminent. *ak *nm | |||

| Similar to other complaints already on file, the srs light stays on constantly. this problem was checked by a honda dealer and an idependent auto repair facility. both concluded that either faulty wiring and electronics were causing this problem or that one of the airbags is defective. the estimated repair cost is $700. since the car has never been in an accident , the airbag system has never been touched since the car was manufactured. given the number of almost identical complaints that are already on file, honda should have been required to address this safety problem a long time ago. | |||

| 2001 honda accord purchased new at dealership. a few months later (less than 1 year) srs light indicating problem with airbag came on and stayed on. auto was brought back to dealer for repair; temporarily light off, but came back shortly thereafter. in all total, car brought in for this problem probably 6 or more times, variably called sensor, light bulb and seat belt problem. daughter now has car, and has moved out of town. light is on, indicating problem, and she has a wreck, with no injuries but causing moderate damage to front of car. front end repaired, light temporarily went off, but came back on within a , month or two, another wreck with damage to front and back car, this time to point of having to be towed and undrivable. in neither case did airbags deploy, and daughter sustained mild neck and head injury from hitting head repeatedly on steering wheel. we believe that there is a serious flaw in airbag sensor and deployment system that lead us astray in assuming it was minor, and could have allowed major injury to daughter. we are very anxious about letting her drive car again. *jb | |||

| I purchased a new honda accord ex in 2001 at a honda dealer in texas , now the check engine light and tcs light came on and stayed on. i checked the owner's manual and found out it could be that the gas cap might not have been tightened. so i have to wait until 3 driving trips to see if it wentoff. thats waswhat manual suggested first. then itwent off to honda dealer to see if computer needed a new catalytic converter ,which i heard could likely be inaccurate diagnosis, and more likely oxygen sensor. also another problem occurred, the srs light stayed on and did not go out. *ak srs light coming on, i have also had my check engine light and tcs indicator come on. it is a bit concerning that i have had so many issues with this particular accord with so few miles on it. seems like a huge safety issue that an air bag does not deploy with the srs light on. what is wrong with this car? did i buy a lemon? i will definitely not buy another honda. extremely disappointed in honda's lack of concern for safety, which they tout so much about, and disrespect for consumer's concerns. | |||

| My srs light came on in my 2001 honda accord has been on for about 2 weeks now and i went to go get it checked out. the dealer told me an attachment to the airbag and horn(doesn't work) would have to be replaced which he says would cost me $1000. i advised him not to fix the problem. although, the same time the srs light came on my engine light has been on as well for the same amount of time. i had a friend advised me of complaints on the web of the srs light coming on in most 2001 honda accords. i looked into it and saw too many complaints about this but nothing has been done about it. there has been no recall regarding it and that may cost someone their live because of it. from what i'm reading on these reviews of the srs light it seems as though there will be no failure of the airbag but that's not what the manual says regarding the light. it states if the light comes on and stays on it may not deploy when needed for an accident. if that's the case then why is honda risking people's lives and not fixing this problem! you can take money out someone's pocket but they won't have their live back! do something! *nm | |||

| The airbag system on our 2001 honda accord continues to malfunction. the srs light comes on. one opds sensor was replaced under warrenty, but now the dealer wants almost $700 every time it comes back on. when i complain, they just tell me i must have put something on the passenger seat, that it's my fault. | |||

| The yellow air bag light lights up intermittently. this has happened ever since the car was brand new, but now the frequency of this light activation is much greater. when there isn't anything on the front passenger seat the light will turn on by itself. when i then touch the passenger seats upper cushion (the backrest) with my hand it goes out. when i release the top cushion the light comes back on. this defect is most apparent during very humid days. once the air conditioning has removed enough humidity from the passenger compartment the air bag light stays off. *nm | |||

| On 7/28/05 my srs light came on for the 5th time in the 4.5 years i've owned the car. this is my second filing with nhtsa on this issue. my dealer has been willing to replace and reset the sensor, but not before chastising me for placing my cell phone in proximately to the passenger seat. although they have supporting documents from honda on this electronic interference i find this difficult to believe as i drive my car less than a mile a day, many days i never use my car or cell phone in the car. it appears from the many posts here there is a problem with honda accord 2001 srs sensor and honda should be made to replace them appropriately. *jb | |||

| My srs light is on at all times in my 2001 honda accord. i took it to a honda dealership in june, 2005. i was told that when the srs light is on, my air bag system is inoperable and air bags will not deploy on impact. dealership inspection found a code for seat belt buckle switch/sensor causing the srs light. the buckle set has been special ordered and has not arrived after one month. in the meantime, i drive around with my srs light on and no airbags. why are there so many complaints about this same issue on the nhtsa website? does this issue need to be addressed as a possible recall? so many of the complaints regarding this same issue are with no resolution. so far i have no resolution. i did not buy a car with no air bags. i want to feel confident my air bags will do their job should i be in an accident. they have saved my life in the past. if you have this same issue, i encourage you to file a complaint. | |||

| I am writing to file a complaint and for information regarding a persistent problem i am having with my 2001 honda accord srs light. specifically the dashboard srs light goes on for no reason. i have been told by the dealer that they cannot guarantee that my airbags will deploy if i am in an accident or that the bags may deploy for no reason. i have researched this problem online and find that many other 2001 honda accord owners are having this same exact issue, and have filed complaints etc. but yet there is still no recall regarding this extremely dangerous safety issue. i am hoping you can help me understand the following: 1. why hasn't there been a recall regarding this issue? 2. has the nhtsa conducted an investigation into the problem of the srs indicator light on 2001 honda accords? if so, what facts were found, what determination was made and what result followed? 4. what is the solution?? this is truly a mystery to me, and i feel very unsafe driving my car with this light on!!! please contact me if you need more information or if i can be of any assistance in having this problem designated for recall. it is very scary driving with this light on, and it is through no fault of the owners of these vehicles! i also understand that later model years do not have this problem, so honda has obviously corrected a known problem.... they should have to correct it in the 2001 model year as well! please help. *ak | |||

| In march of 2003, while driving home from the grocery store, my husband swerved and then stopped (without any collision) and the front passenger airbag of our 2001 honda accord ex deployed while i was sitting in the seat. we were instructed by honda service at white plains, ny to go through our insurance, only to find out that the reason the airbag deployed was due to faulty air bag sensors in our car's computer. five weeks later, we got our car back from the shop. now, a year later, our insurance company at the time (progressive) has advised us to follow up with the nhtsa to file a complaint against honda. to this date, the srs light on my dashboard still comes on with no explanation, and the greenwich and white plains honda dealerships want nothing to do with it. meanwhile, i feel unsafe driving the car and have been since the incident when i was 3 months pregnant, and now have a 6 month old child that i drive around in the vehicle. *ak | |||

| In april 2001, i purchased new honda accord ex from its dealer, planethonda in union, nj. the car had been sore for the last three years. the car was recalled because of faulty transmission. the faulty transmission affected the engine and brakes. not only, honda should have replaced the faulty transmission, but also the engine should have been replaced. the faulty transmission made the car run in the low gear, damaged the engine. my car engine is burning more motor oil and i have to add one quart of oil for every 700-800 miles. i also had to replace the brakes, rotor/drum,brake shoe pads every 6-8 months because of faulty transmission. my car has the side air bag and abs lights on since 30000 miles. i was advised by nhtsa to send the complaint to nhtsa. please forward the copy of the complaint to the appropriate department, so that they can look into the matter. thanks....... ashok kumar *tr | |||

| My drivers seat side airbag deployed and my srs light is on. i took my car to the honda dealership and they told me the only thing covered in the recall is the ignitor, which is in my steering wheel. they replaced this, which was described as the srs driver inflator and told me that the car will need to undergo a diagnostic test which will cost me $110 and that i will also have to pay to get my seat fixed, where the airbag deployed. i'm not sure why this wouldnt be covered in the recall when it's all related. my car has not been in an accident and the airbag did not deploy while i was in it, so i'm not sure what the heck happened. the bag is just hanging out of my seat and i don't feel i should pay to get this fixed. an airbag recall should cover anything related to the airbag system. i thought the airbag was controlled by the ignitor thats in the steering wheel. i'm not sure why they would fix one thing and not the other. from what i have read, this is happening alot! there has to be something done about this. i don't have the money to pay for the damage that was done to my seat. it's ripped down the side and the airbag is hanging out. | |||

| Srs light on. failed side air bag sensor. had sensor replaced august 1, 2008 at the honda dealer and at my expense. in may of 2006 the srs light was on and the control module was replaced by the dealer under warranty. why isn't the entire air bag system of sensors and controllers covered by warranty rather than just the front air bags? seems like honda,s srs system has significant problems with failed control units and sensors. *tr | |||

| 2001 honda accord srs light remains on. service dept. said car is safe to drive. good news is that the airbags won't deploy when you are driving around. the bad news is that the airbags won't deploy in an accident. my research shows that honda is not concerned about consumers with this issue. there is no type of warranty coverage and it is a very expensive fix with marginal results (likely to recur). i should think that seat belts and airbags would have a lifetime warranty. *tr | |||

| Owner of a 2001 honda accord with only 20,000+ mileage. a week after an annual inspection, the srs light came on and has remained so. dealer indicated a $90 diagnostic charge would be required and only waved if a part was found to be defective. i researched this issue on the nhtsa website and found this problem had been investigated in recent years after a significant number of owner complaints. i also found some revealing correspondence between the nhtsa and honda regarding continuing problems with the srs light issue and although srs light warnings on some vehicles continued to occur repeatedly after addressing the dtc 15-3 code, nhtsa closed its #pe05043 investigation. i assumed this action was taken after it was determined that a safety issue was not involved and honda agreed to extend the warranty on srs illumination and opds issues to 10 years or 150,000 miles. i never received a notification letter from honda indicating a no cost replacement of the opds unit. my concern is, does the dealer have the right to charge a diagnostic fee ($90) if honda extended the warranty and the history of issues involved in this frequently defective srs warning light apparently remain unresolved. *tr | |||
