1995 Honda Accord airbags complaints
Page 4 of 8: complaints 71 to 100 of 211, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission failed without warning. Car was in dealership for nine days. The next day SRS warning light went on, and would not turn off. Returned to dealership. Dealer said it had never been recalled, and it was not their problem. I paid over $600 to have repair done, since I was advised the airbag would not deploy if the repair was not done . Research on the federal safety agency website found over 50 complaints for the same problem. Also found indications that recall notice 96 v 317000 addressed a problem with the SRS. I never received this notice. I have called zone office five times and left messages. No one has returned a call. Also asked the honda of lisle service manager to contact zone office for me, was not done. Service manager would not give me the name of the dealership's owner to contact to try to resolve.

The SRS light came on when my wife was on a trip far from home. When she returned, I took the car to milton martin honda. They put it on the computer, but could find no fault code. They reset the SRS light, but it came on again the next day. They had said that when this happened, they often had to replace the air bag computer. I checked the federal safety agency web site and found that there had been a recall for 1995 honda accords for air bag problems (the federal safety agency item number sb041021). I also found a honda tsb on the problem (service bulletin number hon/a90). Finally I found a large number of similar complaints in the federal safety agency database by other owners of 1995 honda accords. Consequently I called honda of america at 1‑800‑999‑1099 and spoke to nicole royer at ext. 124157. She promised to call me back within 3 days with feedback about what honda proposed to do about my problem. She has thus far failed to call back 6 days later, and all I can reach is her voice mail when I attempt to call her. It is clear from the recall, the tsb, and the large volume of complaints that honda has a major problem with the air bags in the 1995 accord which they seem unwilling to deal with despite the fact that this is a critical safety-related component. I hope that the federal safety agency institutes an investigation and compels honda either to recall the 1995 accords for this problem or at least pay for repairs when the problem occurs. I own 3 hondas which I bought because of honda's outstanding reputation for reliability and honesty, but I am bitterly disappointed at their apparent lack of concern about this potentially very damaging problem. I would remind them and the federal safety agency of the ford/firestone case in which a known safety problem went unacknowledged until a number of accidents with injuries and fatalities occurred. Surely honda would not wish to experience similar problems with their customers.

She was traveling along and SRS light came on dashboard. Consumer took vehicle to the dealership, and mechanic said that they would recode the SRS light. Then, they told her that she had to get airbag system replaced.
Srs indicator on at 65000, but unit was reset which cleared the problem. Srs indicator back on at 134k. Delear thinks that bad alternator may be masking the problem. Alternator being replaced (500 dollars). If the SRS unit cannot be reset then this will be another 500 dollars plus labor. There is a recall notice out but it seems to be for the 4 cyl accords only. Logging this entry mainly to get the word out. Possibly if enough of us report this as an issue we might be able to get some relief from honda (ya right).
Unexpected air bag deployment
Srs indicator light went on and would not shut off. Dealer said SRS module failed; replacement will cost approx. $500.00; in light of the many complaints about this component, we believe that honda should replace it free of charge.
While driving air bag light will come on unexpectedly at all times. Brought vehicle to dealer, said that air bag unit needed to be replaced. Replacement would be a owner's cost. Owner traded vehicle in. *ak
I have contacted honda regarding both these problems. They have agreed to pay 25% of the total cost. I feel that since there are so many complaints about both these problems for this year car there should be a recall - even the honda mechanic told me that if I traded this car in honda cars of corona would have to repair both items before they sold the car because they are safety problems. Honda should pay the entire cost.
