| The front passenger seat belt will not trigger the seat belt indicator warning light when the front passenger fails to buckle their seat belt or unbuckles their seat belt with the vehicle in motion. the vehicle was taken into a honda dealer on 07-31-12 and both front seat belt buckles were replaced. the problem with the passenger side continued. the vehicles owners manual indicates on pages 8 & 59 that the indicator reminds the driver and passenger to fasten their seat belts. the honda dealer and american honda both state that the passenger seat belt offers no such warning and refuse to acknowledge that there is a fault with the system. *tr | |||

| On april 24,2007, i accidentally rear-ended a vehicle stopped at a stoplight. i sustained some moderate front end damage but it was not a serious accident. it is the operation of the srs that i have tried to have honda explain. neither the service manager, factory field service representative, nor the honda america customer service personnel have adequately answered my question as to whether my driver's airbag is functional. at the time of the accident, the driver's seat belt tensioner did lock and the passenger's side airbag did deploy although there was nothing in the passenger's seat. however, the driver's airbag did not deploy. aside form the cost of replacing the unnecessarily deployed passenger airbag and the fact that the factory replacement part did not match my dashboard color, my major concern has been whether or not the driver's airbag was, or still is, functional. there are no error codes on the computer nor lights on the dashboard to indicate a problem. answers to our questions to honda about this have not been adequate and long in coming. aside from an actual crash test how can one be sure that an airbag is functional in light of the fact that it did not deploy when the passenger's airbag and the tensioner lock did deploy? when they snicker at my wife that, since no one was injured, everything must be functioning properly, i do not feel that i am being taken seriously. what is the nhtsa experience regarding srs operation? *tr | |||

| Raining, traveling north, far right lane on very busy street in los angeles (sepulveda) when a car traveling south turned left. we did head-on impact into the side of his car. his airbag deployed - ours did not - but the most concern is that the front passenger-side seat belt malfunctioned thus allowing the impact to throw me forward and on the impact striking my head on windshield or visor and both knees and lower legs on dash; then thrown back into seat resulting in wrenched back and neck, knocking air out of me. the seat belt was locked into an extra-large position when car stopped. the driver-side seat belt had no problems and driver was not injured. *nm | |||
