The SRS light came on due to a faulty passenger seat belt buckle switch which will render the airbags in operable in a crash. Looks like I'm not the only one with this same problem and you guys haven't done anything. The dealer wants to charge my $300 to get it fixed.

The air bag light keeps coming on for no reason. Go to the dealer to get it checked and there is no code for the airbag. The light will stay off until I hit any bump in road. I was on the interstate when it comes on and in town when it has come on for no reason.

This car has had multiple issues with the SRS system, which has rendered it inoperable. Apparently, there are design issues with the seat buckle and seat sensor that have been there all along. There are multiple owner complaints here and on the internet about this. This apparently makes the entire SRS system inoperable, including the driver airbag. This along with the well documented transmission issues make this a "rolling coffin"-- I am not sure why honda is not concerned about the safety of its owners. I guess it would take major injuries and lawsuits and publicity to get some action.

My SRS light is on, and always on, driving, in park, etc. However, my car has not been recalled. I read that if the SRS light is on the system will not work, however the seat belt restraint in both front seats and side air bag indicator both work. Dealer should examine, determine problem and fix at no cost. My navi dvr system also works only intermittently. I have the most recent disc. Mostly it is a bunch of lines across the screen, black and white, sometime blue and white. I would say one in 20 starts the navi system works.

When the passenger seat belt was fastened, the supplemental restraint system (SRS) warning light lit up. The SRS light remained on until I erased the scs by entering the appropriate memory erase signal. After the passenger seat belt was buckled again, the SRS light came on again requiring another scs erasure to turn it off. After every scs erasure to turn the SRS light off, it turns back on every time the passenger seat buckle is fastened. It is my understanding that in this car (2001 acura cl type s), the air bag deployment system is inactivated whenever the SRS light is on.

The odps sensor fails if, according to acura, someone places a cell phone, laptop computer etc. On the passenger seat. This sensor may also fail if someone plugs something into the accessory charging port in the console. According to acura this is " due to the manufacturing process at the time, the opds control unit, and /or opds may fail prematurely." this condition causes the SRS light to be on and when this light is on the airbags will not deploy. This is a huge safety issue as no warning about doing any of these is ever mentioned by acura. If someone puts a laptop or cell phone on the seat it could cause a condition in which the airbags won't deploy. Repairs are over $500 when this happens. At minimum acura should be required to place a sticker/ warning of this condition in their cars. This has been a problem on all acura cars and could cause a death.

My SRS light turned on a few days ago, so I went into mullers woodfiled acura in hoffman estates, il. For them to diagnose the issue, they charged me $130.00 and told me that opds control unit needs to be replaced and it will cost me close to $800 with a managers discount. This opds unit had a manufacturers extended warranty which ran for 10years and expired sometime in 2010/2011. Now that it is out of warranty, I have to pay for this by myself. I did call acura/honda client relations/customer service hotline and the customer service rep: [xxx] who opened up a case #[xxx], did assist me by apologizing but somehow did not even offer me a discount. I am very disappointed with honda/acura for this warranty issue because I did not replace this opds unit because my SRS light never turned on, am I supposed to purposely turn it on before the warranty expired to get the opds unit replaced? I believe it should be replaced at least once for everyone that ever owned a honda/acura model that had a similar issue. I would appreciate it if someone could get back to me to direct me to right person that could assist me with this issue and/or open up a case against honda/acura to help resolve this issue. Thank you information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
