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.
1996 Honda Accord airbags complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 109, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
Srs system light on after car is running, approx. Cost to repair 900.00 .is there a recall on this problem , seems there is a lot of people experiencing same as myself .
This is the second contact on this car. The SRS light has been since approximately since 01/05/2010. I have never been contacted about a recall..
Started up car and the SRS light was on. Still remains on after running and driving n for over 60 miles .. Car has not had any accidents, hasn't been driven much because it is a second car .. Updated 01/20/11
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.
1996 honda accord lx. Purchased a new cigarette phone charger, plugged it into the lighter which blew the fuse that controls the lighter and radio. Replaced fuse and verified power was restored to aforementioned electronics. Consequently, additionally noted that the SRS light was now also illuminated. Took car to mechanic, who diagnosed problem to be a fried SRS control unit. In addition was told that this shop has seen many of same era hondas with same problem... There is an issue with the unit not being grounded, allowing other simple fuse failures to back feed the unit and destroy it. Honda does not have a recall on there 1996 airbag system; however the 1995 had a problem... The replacement part is an "updated" part with new features to prevent similar failures of re-occurrence. $750.00 for part and labor to install. This is clearly an manufacture defect.
Srs light comes on. Efforts to correct/reset by dealership and others has only a temporary affect. Told by dealership the SRS "control module" needed replacing.
1-there are no major events which lead up to the failure. 2-the SRS light has come on randomly 3. Nothing was done to correct this failure. I have noticed that many people are having problems with the SRS light coming on in honda accords and mine is no exception. Nothing has been done by honda to make sure this safety feature is corrected. That is very disappointing.
Tl* - the contact stated that the air bag SRS light in the 1996 honda accord will not turn off. The contact stated he has not had the vehicle diagnosed because they will charge him $75. The contact stated the vehicle has not been involved in a crash. The contact stated he has not had any repair work done on the air bag. *ak updated 2/22/2007 -
Tl*- the contact stated that while driving on a major road at 30 MPH, another vehicle ran through a stop sign and made a left turn directly striking the contact's 1996 honda civic head on, and neither the driver nor passenger air bags deployed. The contact stated that the vehicle was severely damaged and was not drivable. The contact stated that there hasn't been any maintenance work done on the airbags .
I understand that any part that has to do with car safety needs to be corrected by the dealer. Yet, I contacted both the dealer and american honda motor co. Inc. Both of them refused to correct the problem. They even told me that their supervisor's never contact or talk to car owners. My airbag light indicator has illuminated indicating a problem and a malfunction in the airbag system. I am very concerned that I may have an accident and I will not be protected by my airbag. Please help me resolve this matter as soon as possible. Please note that I have not been in accident. Yet, I am entering the information below otherwise it will not let me continue. *jb consumer states he wants air bags to be fixed by the manufacturer. Consumer also states dealership has warranty on airbags 3 years or 36,000 miles or whichever comes first. 4/23/07
Srs light came on for 1996 honda accord v6 ex without any incident. Dealer diagnosed and could not understand the error code and suggested replacement of SRS control unit. Not changing the SRS control unit might cause airbags not inflate when required. The cost of repair is $800 and not necessary it would fix the issue. I searched online and found this is very common problem with accords. Such safety related problems should be recalled by honda.
Shouldn't safety equipment be repaired by manufacturer at no cost to consumer if consumer has done nothing to cause malfunction? My SRS light and ABS light is on(1996 honda accord ex). My honda dealer wants $1000+ to fix the SRS light and $1500-$1700 to replace the ABS modulator/accumulator. I had the car for 3 weeks when the first problem light came on and now I have two safety problems. Can you help me out on this?

Srs light stays on. Is their recall on this?
On friday, feb. 10, 2006, at 10:12 am (pst) the santa maria fire dept. Responded to a traffic collision and after investigation, we found what appeared to be a partial deployment of the driver's and passenger's airbag. The steering wheel airbag cover split partially open as did the passenger's, but the airbag did not deploy. Vehicle information: 1996 honda accord 2-door. Vin: 1hgej6225tlo36355 our incident report number 2006-0000786. Digital photos were taken and are on file if needed.
Dt: the contact states there is a problem with the SRS light staying on. The vehicle has not been inspected due to the cost of having a diagnostic test done. *ak the dealer suggested the consumer wait to see if a recall would be issued. Updated 11/29/05. *jb updated 01/04/06.
The SRS light remains on.
I started the ignition of my 1996 honda accord ex and the passenger airbag deployed unexpectedly. The explosion was very loud and cracked the windshield of the car. I was not moving at the time. The car was still in park with the brake on. I got very scared.
Electrical problems, with door lock actuators and SRS systems wheel alignment brake problems, transmission problems yes , parts were replaced, repaired but I still have the same problems, after spending thousands of dollars.
The air bag light illuminated again after the vehicle was serviced. *jb
While vehicle was parked/running front air bags inadvertently deployed, shattering the front windshield. Dealership was notified, but did not resolve the problem.
While stopping an oncoming vehicle traveling 60 MPH struck consumer's vehicle head on. Upon impact, frontal air bags failed to deploy.
I bought the car on oct 22nd, and on the second day it stalled because of wrong fuse being placed in the car. During that check up I found out that the car has had extensive body damage and none of this is shown up in carfax report and also the dealer told me that the car was never involved in any accident. So I want to return the car under consumer fraud.
Both the ABS and the SRS indicator lights came on. Had dealer check and was told I need a new ABS accumulator and modulator, in addition to a new SRS controlunit, ( air bag system). These are both cost prohibitive, were very expensive optional saftey features offered at the time of sale. I have looked on line and this appears to be a wide spread problem with the accord 1994-1999 and the odyssey, both of which use the same ABS modulator/accumulator. Upon diagnosis, the dealer assured me that this was "normal wear and tear."
Srs light comes on at start up and stays on. Abs light comes on and costs over a $1000.00 to replace modulator. This is ridiculous!!!
The SRS light for the airbag illuminated and wouldn't go off. The vehicle was taken to the mechanic and they reset the SRS light, then the light came back on. *ph the 1995 honda accords had a recall issue and the consumer believed the problem may have affected the 1996 models. *scc
