For past few years the SRS light would flick on and off. Last month it stayed on and the dealer charged me over $300 to replace the opds sensor and clear the codes. The passenger seat is generally unoccupied. I understand that you have started an investigation into this disarming of the airbag and wanted to report this.

My 2000 honda accord v-6 has approximately 85,000 miles on it and I have had very few problems. Always took to dealer for maintenance/repair. I had the alternator replaced in june 2005, and within 2 weeks of getting the car back, the SRS light came on. I called the dealer and they said I should bring the car in right away. I paid $68 to have the system "tested" and was told I needed to replace the entire computer system for the air bags at a cost of $575, or I could have them reset it and it may or may not come back on. I asked what happens when the light was on and was told that the airbags just won't work. I opted for the reset. Now, 2 weeks later, the light is back on. I have done some internet research and have found that not only is this a known problem, but the "cures" that are suggested by the dealer are all over the map. I find it incredible that honda is not responsible for this defect in a mandated safety device. My family will hold honda responsible if I am injured or killed due to a non-inflating airbag. I do not believe the company is taking the airbag issue seriously. My daughter was thankfully not killed in a serious accident last june in her civic, whose airbags did not deploy when she was hit with such force that it tore the front engine housing off her car and resulted in a total loss. The honda folks told us then that sometimes the car isn't "hit the right way" and the sensors don't register that the airbags should deploy. I think the same government that requires these devices be installed on all cars (and the ones we pay for when purchasing the cars) should hold the car makers/dealers responsible for making sure they are operable.

Dt: the vehicle is a 2000 honda accord v6 ex, the cylinder has a cracked head. On 6-18-05 consumer was driving when white smoke came out of the dual exhaust. Consumer had vehicle towed to the dealership. They told her that it was because of the cracked cylinder head. The coolant mixed with the oil and caused hot steam to come from the vehicle. Previously the SRS light came on. Consumer believed that it meant the air bags were disabled. Nothing has been done to fix the vehicle. It is currently at the dealership.

Purchased new 2000 accord ex v-6, 4 dr-replaced transmission at 10,000 miles, then again around 55,000 miles. Now on third transmission and wondering how long this one will last. Also, now the SRS light is on and they say the seat belt has to replaced, as well as now the alternator and tensioner are being repalced ($600 job!). Based on some other complaints, it seems the two are related, as well as the alternator problems being a result of the transmission problems.

Subject: honda 2000 accord SRS light safety defect dear administrator: honda dealer at salinas in california performed recall ?ignition lock? Work on my car on 3/16/05 (please see attached invoice). After that, the SRS (airbags) light remains on my car. My car currently only has 32,600 miles. Before the dealer performed the recall work, my car was perfectly fine. I called dealer about this SRS light issue. Dealer said I have to pay $101 for a computer diagnoses plus extra fee to fix the problem found. I, however, disagree because the SRS light was on right after the dealer performed the recall work. Before that, my car was in the perfectly shape and never got involve in any accident. As the dealer said, the airbags will not deploy while the SRS light is on. I think my car?s SRS light issue is caused by either the dealer is unable to remedy the defect in my vehicle or it is another safety defect in honda 2000 accord. Therefore, your kind help on my case is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, [xxx] p.s.

Srs light remains on. Side SRS comes on in turns. Dealer has stated that something in the seat needs to be replaced and we have no driver SRS at this time. Vehicle is under used certified warranty but dealer states this is not covered by warranty. We puchased a honda (have owned many!) because of reliability, durability and safety. Does not federal law require SRS on current model vehicles? How can such a company refuse to fix such a major problem>>>

The airbag warning light (srv) came on, and local garage checked it out on their computer. They came up with a "code 9-2 air bag internal fault", and said I would have to take it to the honda dealer for repair. I took it to the honda dealer, and was told that they would have to run their own independent computer check, and, if a fault was found, I would be responsible for the cost of repair. My complaint: first, air bags being such an important safety item, and their installation mandated by the government, I feel that when a defect appears, a recall at the manufacturer's expense is in order. Second, if the safety board does not have a sufficient number of similiar complaints to order a recall, then at the very least the manufacturer should be required to pay for the computer test.

Took 2000 honda accord exl to dealer for maintenance. Upon leaving the dealership the SRS airbag light came on. I took it back and they told me I needed a new module/"airbag brain" and that without it my airbags may not deploy. I told them that light had never come on before until after they worked on my car, they told me that was a coincidence and that they were no where near that part of the vehicle. They did a diagnostic free of charge and told me the error code. They quoted me $600 to replace the module. I went to a different dealer for a 2nd opinion not trusting the 1st place and they turned off the SRS light model # 77960-584-a93057. I tried to purchase the part used, but no one sold it. I called around and the most affordable place I could find quoted me $390. I took it in and had it replaced and the light has not come on since. The incident occured in 9/10/03. I was looking up recalls and found that many other owners have had the same problem I had. I also have a problem with the backseat seatbelt not working and the recalls on the seatbelt are for the civic and not the accord. Now I am making an appointment for the ignition switch. I also have a problem everytime I start the car the gas pedal sticks and you have to "gun it" to make it go forward.

Dt: contact has a 2000 honda accord and he says that he is having problems with his sbs-air bag light. He says the light came on and stayed on so he took his vehicle to the mechanic and he said that the wiring bundle had been cut through because someone that manufacturer the vehicle had put the bundle under the passenger side seat and they wired the bundle wrong they put the wire to the air bag over the wire to the seat. And the movement of the seat going forward and back and the vibration of the vehicle had cut the wire to his air bag and disabled it. The contact called the american honda coporation on april 29th and they gave him a case number n012005-042900577 he talked to brian ho and he told him that he was going to mail a letter to his honda dealer stating the problem the contact was having. So in a couple of days he took his vehicle to his honda dealer he said he never recieved a letter so they told him they would look at the vehicle and so when the contact called back may 9th and they told him they were going to dismiss.

Srs light (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module): this light is on all of the time. I have gotten estimates of $75 to $110 just to analyze the problem. A search on the internet showed that hundreds of consumers are having to pay for the analysis of this light being on. This seems to me to be a major rip-off of consumers for a known, defective system!

I have the known issue with my 2000 honda accord where the SRS airbag light stays on. You can do a google search and see the widespread nature of this problem. Honda says if the airbag light is on the airbag may not deploy in a accident and others have had the airbag go off while driving normally. When I call my dealer they pretend not to know anything and want tons of money to even check it out. I have the honda care extended warranty and the dealer won't even verify if the problem is covered or not.

I was driving on the freeway when all of a sudden a car cut in front of me. Then the flow of traffic came to a complete halt. I applied my brakes. The car that cut me off, moved out from the lane I was on into the next lane. I was involved in a rear end collision with honda crv. My honda accord 2000 received major damage . The front SRS airbags never functioned. This collision took place in the freeway at least 40 miles per hour. The front airbags didn't work. The honda dealership that I took my car for repairs which came out to five thousand dollars, told me that the reason the airbags didn't work was because it was not a direct hit, in other words they didn't want to be held responsible for checking the airbags or replacing them. They stated, that there was no recall from honda on the airbags. The community honda dealership just replaced the parts that where damaged in the collision. The front end of the car was damaged badly, it was pushed back approximately 3 feet. I was lucky, not to have had serious injuries. However, I don't trust the front airbags because they should of functioned and they didn't. I, strongly believe that honda motors u.s.a. Should correct the problem with the airbags at no charge. Someone should investigate this problem with this vehicle the honda accord se 2000. Vehicle [xxx].
