Air bag doesn't work SRS red light is on on dashboard
Air bag light comes on, won't go off. This has been going on since april 2016. Light comes on when car is started, and stays on while driving till car is turned off. I read this is an ongoing thing. Why isn't there a recall on this problem? The cost to have this fixed is half the value of what the car is worth.
Srs light is on (air bag). Just noticed it come on while driving. Too expensive to fix, will cost half what car is worth. Why is their no recall? Seams to be a common problem. It's been like this for long time.
I had a 1996 honda accord v6 2.7 liters with SRS light stays on. I took the vehicle to the honda dealership and I was told that the SRS control module unit has a failure and need to be replaced. The unit price is over $700 dollar without installation labor. I talked to american honda motor and they refused to assist fixing this safety concern. Honda suppose to lower the prices for parts on older cars to match the current value of the car.

In 1996 v6 honda accord, the SRS light come on and several trials were done to erase the fault. The dealer told me that the SRS control module need to be replaced at $800 cost. Dealer told that the airbag will not be deployed in case of an accidents.
Horn works occasionally, SRS light won't go off,speedometer stop working.
I own a 1996 honda accord lx which has a faulty driver side seat belt. I don't have the money to fix the problem and is quite expensive. This happened 4 or five months ago and is, of course, a serious safety concern. Now, as of this date, the SRS light has come on which apparently is another safety concern due to the fact that the airbags will not deploy.
