This is a complaint added to a number of others on the odi website concerning repeated failures of the SRS system in 1995 honda accords. I first had to change the SRS control unit in january 1998, which was covered by the honda warranty. In august 2002, the SRS control unit failed again, and I had to pay to replace it. The unit again failed in july 2009. In a phone call, american honda advised this was my responsibility. I believe this is honda's responsibility and a serious safety problem, as there is no way of knowing whether air bags will deploy in case of an accident. Given the number of complaints filed with odi, there should be a recall.

2-3 weeks ago notice the SRS light in my honda was on. The mechanic said the dealer would need to repair. After looking online I noticed there was a safety recall issued in 1996. I called odi who told me to contact honda honda said call local dealer to repair after calling the service mgr. Who said the vehicle had already been serviced for that particular recall and I would have to make an appointment to have it repair at my own cost. Have since called honda back and they will "escalate" the case.

Regarding my 1995 honda accord v6 ex: last year, I went on a search for an older model honda accord to purchase for my son to use in the near future. I made a down payment on a 1996 4 cylinder sedan, only to find the SRS light came on, and the anti- lock brake system automatically disabled as a result. The SRS test gives vague results (as in - the air bags may..or may not..deploy. I cancelled my purchase. I looked at 3 other 95-96 accords and found they all had the SRS/ABS lights on. The owners told me they did not want to go to the expense quoted to replace the system, because they said most people don't care if it works or not. Airbags? You're kidding. I researched and found it is so common, there entire chat groups on the subject and businesses built around the fault. There are even sites instructing owners how to bypass the honda problem, and how to disconnect the idiot lights, etc. I purchased the above mentioned accord from a trusted friend, and, of course the SRS light and ABS lights are on. 4 out of 4 honda accords. This one, a v6 ex. I decided to buy the 95 ex because I saw a recall for 95 honda accord SRS online, and thought - at least they did something about it on this year model. Now, after scouring the pdf docs, I find the recall does not include the v6. And I find there are SRS recalls on later model hondas, too. The SRS failure is obvious for many years of accords and other honda models. We either have to pay $700 - 1,000 to replace them or worry we will suffer the consequences. I'm sure the shear number of SRS tests and SRS replacements will more than prove out the widespread problem. The biggest problem is the fact that people do not pay that kind of money to have it fixed. It makes you wonder how many serious injuries have resulted due to faulty honda SRS. This recall needs to be expanded. Thank you for your time. If you can offer any new info on my SRS, I would be grateful.
