2002 acura mdx SRS light constantly on which means the air bag may not function normally. 1. Acura refuses to address this seat belt limited warranty issue (which continues for the life of the car and includes repair or replacement) without a minimum diagnostic charge of $130 prior to effecting repair as warranty item (warranty page attached). 2. Have already had code diagnosed as defective driver side seat belt sensor by independent mechanic which acura refuses to believe or act upon. 3. When it comes to a serious safety issue in a car covered as a warranty item, the company should be required to diagnose the problem and perform repair per their warranty agreement without charge. They are putting lives in danger by insisting on not performing the work until completing their own diagnostic check at the car owners cost. 4, this light is on from car start up to engine turn off.

Srs light illuminated at approximately 130000 miles. Mechanic states code 15-3 "faulty opds sensor". Sensor is faulty by design, is not affected by age or use of vehicle. Previous extended warranty addressed this code, with language in warranty stating vehicles past 10 year mark are eligible for goodwill coverage to fix this issue. Acura refused to cover cost of this fix under goodwill. Manufacturer should be held accountable for design failures. Safety issue as air bags will not deploy if SRS light is on.

The air bag light is red...I took it to acura in stockton....and they said. They won't check it until I pay them $120...I am worried it is faulty...I don't need to pay them to check and fix it...the air bag should not be faulty at all.....it is not a wear and tear item...it is a internal product that is damaged.

My daughter was living in michigan and the SRS light came on and she did not know what to make of it and there was no acura dealership around where she lived. She continued to drive the car and then moved back to ca. I saw that it was on so I contacted an acura dealership and they informed me that it had been under an extended but we were now past the 150k limit. I told them that it came on before that but they would not help. They told me to replace the passenger seat sensor box and it would fix the problem. I had it replaced and it again shows the SRS light on. The airbags will not deploy with the SRS light on. This should of been a factory recall rather then an extended warranty that we did not know about.
