| Srs light came on. vehicle taken to dealer as advised in manual. appointment offered for 2/21/12. diagnosis: driver's seatbelt buckle faulty. part on national backorder--unknown when it will be available. meanwhile, since this is the only car i have, i am forced to drive a vehicle with a useless/potentially useless seatbelt and no air bags! | |||

| I have a 2004 honda civic ex sedan. the driver's side seatbelt sensor that connects with the larger srs safety system was triggered for no apparent reason. when this sensor indicates a failure, the srs light comes on and the airbags are taken offline and prevented from being deployed. thus, it is a serious safety concern. i took it to the dealership honda of pasadena, where they reset the sensor, tested it, and declared that it was not faulty. so they would not replace it under warranty, nor give any discounted price for replacement. my concern is that the sensor triggered for no reason, so it is likely to trigger again for no reason, disabling airbag deployment in the case of a crash. i can't take this chance given that i and my family have a long road trip next week. so i need to pay $320 out of pocket to have the sensor replaced. online honda-specific forums make it clear that i'm not the only one dealing with a mysterious triggering of the driver's side seatbelt sensor. there are at least 6 other cases that i could find. i reported my case to honda corporate, and was informed that no recall or extended warranty existed as yet for that sensor. i hope that the nhtsa will keep a record of complaints about this sensor failure. | |||

| When i get in my vehicle to drive i am not being protected properly by my seat belt equipment. there is no fail safe design to prevent injury or death when the vehicle begins to move in the event of human error. design directly allows human error to disable the entire seat belt device. even in the event of a primary design failure there is no back up. the risk of injury and death is exponential based on population and demographic. this is a serious flaw in safety design for a product that is used by the public and is quite contrary to the methods employed by a theme park as one example which contain other forms of transportation available to the public. events: 1. i enter my vehicle 2. i turn on ignition. 3. i place vehicle in drive. 4. i operate the vehicle to my destination. failure occurs 20% of the time if i do not notice the seat belt alarm or if i forget to fasten my seat belt. failure of seat belt device to protect me in the event i forget results in possible risk of injury or death while operating vehicle. for whatever reason i sometimes do not notice the seat belt alarm. for whatever reason i sometimes forget to fasten my seat belt. for whatever reason my vehicle design allows me to operate the vehicle unsafely putting me and others at risk. corrective action. writing this complaint. *tr | |||
