Srs indication light illuminates after seat belt was replaced.
The SRS light of my 2000 honda accord dx came on and remain for no reason. I will never buy a honda any more. Their quality is getting bad but price stays high.
My 2000 honda accord ex has recently had the SRS light come on, when I took it to the dealer cambridge honda they charged me $98 informed me that the car had recently been in accident (it hasn't) and that the box wouldn't communicate with their test set so to fix it would require replacing the entire system ($1000 +).
The SRS unit for airbag deployment has failed on my 2000 honda accord lx with 104,000 miles. The honda dealers want ~$740.00 to replace this unit as there is no extended warranty or coverage beyond the manufacturers 36/36 factory warranty. Considering the essential necessity of this unit it seems unreasonable for this unit should fail within 104,000 miles and in less than 6 years. I had today 3 different honda dealerships tell me today that it can be expected that these units will begin failing at 100,000 miles! How can this be the case? Isn't it reasonable to expect the safety of the airbags being deployed in a car that is in very good condition mechanically and structurally to continue for a much longer period? Isn't it also to be expected that early failure of this unit should be covered either fully or partially by honda? It is reasonable to think so. I also own a 1992 and a 1994 honda accord with the same SRS unit with no failures having occurred. I would like the federal safety agency to investigate this matter as to premature failure occurring.
Srs light keeps on coming on.
Since year 2000 I have been bringing my honda accord to honda service center for maintenance and repairs. The SRS light had been going off and when I took the car to honda of concord, they just reset the SRS light and blamed my cell phone as the possible reason. Since then I avoided placing my cell phone on the passenger seat but the SRS light would still turn on after couple of weeks. I have inquired from them if it was a defect and they said "no". This has been going on until in 2004 when I took my car to honda of oakland when they decided that it was the opds that was faulty and they changed it (charged me $700.00). After a week that it was changed, the SRS light turned on again, and every maintenance service time they just reset the light. 2 weeks ago, honda of oakland told me that they will replace the opds sensor and will refund me of the $700 that I paid last year. Am supposed to bring my car on tuesday march 28, 2006 to honda of oakland service center so they can change the opds. They now claim that it is covered by 5 year warranty (last year they said it wasn't covered). I haven't missed any maintenance service for more than 5 years now and on every visit I have complained about this SRS light malfunction. What's the best thing I should do?
The SRS light will not go off after starting the car. It was tested by a honda dealer and I was told that they reset the light but if it came on again, I would have to purchase a new SRS unit at a very high cost. Three hours after leaving the dealer, the light came back on and will not go off. Since this is a safety feature like the seat belts, the dealer/manufacturer should replace this at no cost to me.
Srs light is on, dealership states 450.00 to correct this problem. I feel this should be a honda issue, some type of defect, they have never deployed ...how can this "wear out" as I was told by the dealership.
I have a 2000 accord, the SRS light came on and stays on. I have read that this condition will make my air bags useless until repaired. I will take my honda in for the repair and hope that I will not be charged for this since it has been a honda problem for several years according to honda owners web sites.
While driving my SRS indicator light came one. Airbags should be lifetime warranty. Problem is systemic.
Srs light is on all the time. It used to come on at different times, now it stays on all the time. It costs a lot of money to fix it. It is an important safety feature, and I feel airbags should have lifetime warranty just like seat belts. I noticed that this is a common problem in many 2000 and 2001 honda accords from searching on google.com
The SRS light turned on by itself and remains on. I have 80k miles on the car. I researched many sites and noticed that this is a very common problem and most of them have not got a satisfactory fix. I contacted the dealer and they mentioned $99 just to diagnose. I then sent a fax to american honda requesting them details of previous occurrence and number of complaints. They declined to provide me the number of official complaints they have received and said they will not help me and I would have to deal it with the dealers. They also mentioned that the complaints in the internet may be bogus.
Srs light is on and won't go off.
Hello I am writing about my honda accord lx, 2000, 4 cylinders. Without any reason (while driving the car), the SRS light went on. When I checked with the honda dealer from where I purchased the car, they mentioned that the computer that controls the airbags is not working anymore. The cost to fix/replace the computer is $960.00. I research on the internet and there are many honda accord with the same problem. This is a very important safety module that should be fixed by honda and not by the consumer. Thank you.
Air bag cel is on thus disable the air bag function in the car. Check system results in no apparent problem. Reset would clear the problem from 1 day to 1 month, then the cel is re-appeared again. According to the mechanic, the problem is a faulty air bag control module from the manufacture and affect many similar cars within this model year. People on the internet forum are experienced the same thing with this SRS warning light. Since this is related to the function of vehicle airbag system, this should be a major concern of safety issue. Please look into it and advice us....the consumer. So far, the honda dealer does not acknowledge the existing problem and demand an expensive fix in the air bag control module. Thank you for your helps.
After placing my cell phone on the passenger seat, I noticed shortly thereafter that the SRS warning light was on and would not go off. My honda dealership said they would have to hook it up to the diagnostic computer. I have not taken the car in and I am surprised that this appears to be a common problem.
Srs light indicator turns on. Air bags system/board is malfunctioning.
My 2000 honda accord ex v6 battery finally died on 01/30/2006. A new battery was replaced the same day and now the SRS light stays on and won't go away. I contacted a local honda dealership and they want to charge me $90 just for diagnostic and the cost of repair. I searched on the internet and realized that is a common problem with many honda and acura car models after any power related issue. As proclaimed reliable car company, I wanted to know why honda won't admit they have a problem and voluntarily have dealership fix it free of charge for the customers. I will be one of the customer gives serious thought on any future honda purchases.
I have been to the honda dealer/service 4 times to fix a SRS malfunction. Today I went to the spirit honda service department because SRS light was on. The assistant service advisor claimed the technician could find no hard problems,"which would result in the SRS light turning on. He originally blamed me, but when questioned he retracted. Then, charged $43 dollars for a problem, which he could not figure out. Honda accord is under warranty for 5 more months. The cost for repair at that time will be overwhelming. As the SRS problem has been a recurring . The consistent failure of the SRS on 2000 honda accord coupe is a problem that should be investigated. The monetary loss, which I have incurred maybe due to a problem caused by the manufacturer. When I did a search on SRS problems for honda accords I found I am not alone. There seems to be a significant portion of consumers who have an SRS problem. It should be investigated by honda.
The SRS light stays on in my 2000 honda accord. The honda dealership stated they reset the switch the first time I took my car in to be fixed. The light came back on a few days later. I took it back to the honda dealership a second time and they said a switch in the seat belt needed to be replaced. In the mean time, the dealership stated that the air bags in my car are not working because of the SRS light being on.
2000 accord SRS light on after 70k miles. This is allegedly due to increase cell phone usage. Its a common problem on this car should be recalled. Consequences are prevention airbag deployment, possible injury or death.
After a 200 mile drive on a rainy day (nov 29,2005), the SRS light came on and has not gone off. The rain may be a coincidence. The vehicle was hit in front, but did not set off the airbags. Living in atlanta, driving in our traffic at a rate of 3000+ miles per month, I am not excited about not having working airbags. Several mechanics have attempted to diagnose, but no permanent solution has been found.
(1) the air bag light came on (2) honda said it was because it fried the computer and it was because of a cell phone being on in the car.
My car SRS indicator light started to come on back in april of 2005. It stays on while my car is on with and without passengers. I finally took my car to a mechanic hoping that they could reset the light. They told me that there is a malfunction in the air bag system and it could deploy at anytime. The mechanic also told me that this is quite common in this make and model. This is very frightening because I bought a honda for their reputation for safety and quality. But to think that my airbags can deploy at anytime I drive or even not working in the case of an accident is very concerning. Please investigate this with the honda accord coupe models between 1998-2003. My car is a 2000 v6 honda accord coupe lx. Thanks.
I own a 2000 honda accord ex. My SRS light came on at approximately 80,000 miles. My warranty expired at 75,000 miles. According to the honda dealership, they have tried to re-set the unit but it will have to be replaced. I have spoken to another honda accord owner at the dealership who states the same thing has happen to him but he had the unit replaced. According to your website, I see that this problem is happening to a lot of honda owners.
At 84,366 miles my car's check engine light came on. Took accord to mechanic and was told the egr valve error code appeared. The mechanic said to take to honda due to recall for this part. Picked car up from mechanic and car also had SRS light on. Researched online since I already have recall for dash light. Found many other honda owners with same SRS light. Found out my air bags will not function if sensor illuminated. Also, called honda and they said I was beyond the mileage (80k) for the extended warranty on the defective egr valve replacement. Asked what honda was doing about the front airbags and was told no decision has been made. I have also discovered my car has the extended warranty for defective/faulty transmission. So when I'm driving down the highway my tranmsmission may give out at high rate of speed and if collsion occurs, my air bags will not deploy. My seat weld joint broke at 54k too! I used a 99 toyota 4runner as replacement vehicle and discovered the seatbelt warning light came on when my 40lb. Dog sat in passenger front seat. My accord never has detected my dog in the front seat ever! This car is riddled with safety defects and poor manufacturing. Honda should be held responsible for protecting the owners from injury including monetary repairs/ replacement costs for all of these safety defects and engine defects.
Srs light keeps on. I have a 2000 honda accord v6 and have it maintained by o'donnell honda(8620 baltimore national pike, ellicott city, md 21043). In sept. 2005, the SRS light began to keep coming on. On oct.18, 2005, I took my car to the o'donnell honda. A representative/technician told me the air bag has no problem but it has a code 15-3 and need to be re-set. I was charged $41.50 for re-setting the SRS light. The SRS light kept off for about two weeks, then it came back and have kept coming on since then. If I keep taking my car to the dealer, it looks like they will keep charging me for the re-resetting because they said the air bag has no problem. I checked the internet and knew many people have the same problem with accord and civic. I don't think the technicians in the dealer are able to solve this problem. It is the problem in honda car design and specification. If the SRS light is on and the air bag has no problem, when the SRS light is off, the air bag may have problem?
The SRS light on my car has suddenly appeared and will not turn off. The dealer explained that it was probably a bad opds sensor because they have been receiving several complaints about it. I chose not to opt for the $600 repair. Perhaps also related is the fact that my side air bag indicator turns on frequently whenever a passenger shifts his weight to one side of the seat--it goes away once he moves back to the center of the front seat. It is a however a nuisance and is not what I expect from honda.
I have a SRS light that continues to come on in my 2000 honda accord ex v6. I see that this is a common problem and honda is not doing anything about it except charge people ridiculous prices to fix something that is a safety concern. One of the reasons I purchased the car was because it was suppose to be one of the safest, boy was I wrong. I travel over 500 miles a week and my family depends on me to come home everyday. God forbid I have an accident and the airbags don't deploy. Please look into this issue because the web is flooded with complaints and concerns.
