2000 Honda Accord airbags complaints

The SRS light came on with no reason. It was reset by an approved ase mechanic. But after 2 days, it come on again.
My 2000 honda accord ex has 60,000 miles. A week and a half ago, the SRS light came on indicating that there was a problem with my airbags. I took it to my mechanic who didn't know what the problem was. The light is still illuminated, which is bothersome since I'm driving around with faulty airbags. There apparently are several people who have encountered the same problem. There was even a recall issued for cars of my make and model that year for this problem, however, when I called honda today, they said that my car isn't included in this. I would like to be able to get this corrected and believe honda should be responsible for this since this seems to be quite a common problem with cars from my year. I have had no recent impacts that would cause the car to have such problems. It is less than 5 years old.
While driving the air bag warning light continuously illuminated on the dash board. As a result the air bags were inoperative and wouldn't deploy when needed. Dealer notified.
Srs light on. Took to dealership, paid almost $455 to replace opds unit which is a common and well known defect by honda.
2000 honda accord 6-cyl - SRS light has come on 6 times since new. Again last week. I purchased an extended warranty which runs out 11/04.
When consumer turned vehicle on the SRS light came on and stayed on. Consumer read in the manual that if the SRS light stayed on it indicated a problem with the system and that the vehicle was unsafe. *ak
When driving at any speed air bag warning light appeared on the dashboard. Consumer contacted with dealership.
While driving 60 MPH driver applied the brakes and the pedal went to the floor. This caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle and hit the vehicle in front. Upon impact, air bags did not deploy. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection.
On or about august 2003, I brought my car in with about 12000 miles to dealer because the SRS light was going on. Dealer could not detect a problem. It when on or off until 95,000 miles. At 95,000 miles the light stood on. At 98,000 miles, I brought the car in to have the transmission inspected due to a recall. I asked dealer to checked my air bag problem. They detected problem as being a faulty air bag module. Unfortunately dealer, did not want to repair module under original warranty because it had expired. Although, I brought in my car at 12,000 miles letting them know of a problem. It was an expensive repair and opted not to have it repaired by the dealer. I took it to another mechanic and had the air bag system re- set. The light when off. However, the light came back on a month later. Currently, iam riding the car with no air bags on and the manufacturer refuses to honor my warranty when I first brought in the car to the dealer at 12,000 miles and informed me that it is not their responsibility. What can I do?
The vehicle experienced a problem with the SRS light which alerted the driver that if the vehicle was in an accident the air bags would not deploy. Problem has existed for several months. *jb *sc
While driving, the airbag warning light illuminated. This was an intermittent problem. The consumer contacted the dealer. The problem with air bag light was still occurring. *ak the consumer was advised by dealer that there was no problem as long as the light did not stay on. The light came intermittently while driving and also when someone was sitting in the passenger seat. However the condition had not reappeared for 4 weeks. *tt
The red SRS light came on and stayed on for a period of two weeks. During this time, the car went to the dealership for diagnostic. They could not find any problems and cited that perhaps electronic equipment near the driver seat was causing interference of some kind. That doesn't make sense, as I have a 2000 (honda accord cpe ex v6) and have always had a cell phone and not had problems till now. The dealership reset the light and it has not come up since. But I have read that this problem has happened with other cars. I feel a recall should be done. This is an issue that can be potentially serious during an accident if the airbags were not to deploy. The dealership said that it could mean anything from the front or side airbags. I don't think that they should take that risk.
While driving SRS indicator illuminated and stayed on.
Upon starting vehicle air bag light would illuminate and would stay on the remainder of the time that vehicle is running.
I am having the same problem that thousands others are having with the SRS light staying on. Honda should take care of the bother some error code once and for all. People are paying $80 to $100 just for the diagnosis, then more to fix or reset the light. Please help us in this endeavor to ratify a annoying problem. Thank you in advance, paul radics.
On 9-25-03 while driving my honda, I heard a loud thud I thought someone hit my car, when I looked my side airbag was released, without my car not being impacted by any thing, I took to honda service and was told district manager has to inspect my car so now I am waiting.
Srs light has failed once, no airbags. Dealer "pulled code 15-3" and charged $78.00 for the diagnoses. Dealer said the opds unit failed and would require replacement at cost of about $450 us. Dealer said honda care extended warranty did not cover this issue. Once "pulled," unit failed about 10 days later. Spoke to dealer again, said again that unit needed to be replaced. Since been driving with SRS light on with no air bag protection. Dealer blamed the problem on cell phones and/or computer being placed on seat, although I explained to dealer that I do not place phones on any seat, and I don't use/travel with a computer in the car. The dealer representative was clearly dumb founded and attempted to find some other cause.
I have a 2000 honda accord vtec v6. I take good care of it, and all of a sudden all the air bag systems have shutdown indicated by the SRS light. Now I am starting to have electrical failures left and right. Majority of my warning llights on, my console which include battery, all doors, trunk, and brake light lights are on. The transmission is starting to slip. I don't know if I got a bad honda from the batch, but just being 2 years old, it is experiencing some tough problems. I also have the extened honda plan upto 100,000 miles/6 yrs.. But of course the plan does not cover any of my problems. I don't have money to waste on the car that is nearly new, and I still owe 23000 on. Please help.
The SRS light will not go out. The first time this happened was while we were on vacation and a dealer in fl checked it and reset w/out charge. Tech said it may have been caused by placing cell phone on passenger seat. If it came on again, it may have been caused by a defective sensor. I have refrained from having the cell phone on the seat since then (may 03). This past sunday the SRS light came back on and will not go out. My dealer's service department stated that since the car has 44,000 miles and was out of warrenty, it would cost $70 to run diagnostics. He did not know for sure, but the cause may be a defective sensor. My concern is that when the SRS light is on it means that the air bags are disabled. This is a safety feature and one that is necessary. I checked the edmunds web site and noted there were quite a few complaints about the SRS light.
I discovered there is a recall on 2000 honda accords that pertain to airbags not deploying. My research discovered that the first sign there is a problem with the airbags is the SRS light on the dash comes on & stays on. This happened to my 2000 honda accord. 1 week ago I contacted emily in the service dept at rock honda in fontana ca. I was told my VIN did not apply to the recall. I explained that my car is experiencing the same problem as the cars that were recalled. I asked how they could know for absolute sure that my airbag is not defective based on a VIN number. An answer was never provided. After pushing the issue emily scheduled an appointment with me to have the car looked at free of charge. Emily told me that she would for sure see me on the scheduled day and to make sure that I talk to her. At the time of the appointment it was found that emily had gone on vacation w/o informing me about my scheduled appointment possibly needing to be changed, nor did she leave any info for the service members about my situation. I was told to just inspect the car it would cost $75 and since the SRS light is on there is definitely something wrong w/ my airbag and it would cost an additional $800 to fix. Honda said that they will not fix my car free of charge because of my VIN number, even though they are aware that there is indeed a serious safety problem w/ defective airbags in the 2000 honda accords. It was also found that since my car is a canadian honda, but was sold to me brand new in so. California at rock honda, that american honda will not deal with the situation and have been told that canadian honda cannot force a u.s. Dealership to fix the problem. My concern is I drive 6 days a week to & from work. A 1 way trip is 45 minutes long in heavy stop & go traffic. I'm extremely scared I will have an accident & will be injured because my airbags will not deploy. I feel lucky in the 3 & half years I've owned the car I have not yet had an accident.
The SRS light remains on in my 2000 accord. According to the honda dealer this means the passenger airbag will not deploy in a collision due to a faulty sensor. The car has only 33600 miles. It appears that this is a wide spread problem that should result in a recall campaign.
While traveling on the highway and without prior warning air bag light appeared on the dashboard.
Srs light illuminates for no apparent reason. Has been traced to the passenger seat sensor. Dealers claim this SRS component not covered under warranty. Srs system is disabled when the SRS light is illuminated. A simple reset of the SRS system does not permanently fix the problem.
Summary:on the 2000 honda accord after having problems with the alternator the air bags would be useless in a crash unless honda services the vehicle and erases the failure code the computer is reporting. *ak I recently had the alternator in my 2000 accord ex v6 replaced because it was not working. After it was replaced the SRS (air bag) light was on and would not turn off. I then went to the local honda service center and they told me that because the alternator was not powering the computer that controls the airbags with the correct voltage it triggered the failure light. I was then told that while the light is on the air bags are disabled and would not be deployed in the event of a crash. I then told the employee that this was the stupidest thing I have ever heard, and is there any way to reset the system. I was told the car would have to be serviced and hooked up to their computer system to reset the cars internal computer (at a cost of $89.00). I set up an appointment to have this done next week but got to thinking how this is truly a safety issue. The system should reset itself when everything is normal so the consumer does not have to drive around in a car with air bags that do not deploy in the event of a crash. To have the car disable this vital part of its safety features because the voltage dropped below a certain point makes no sense. I can see it detecting an error but then when everything is back to normal it should reset. Now the car is working perfectly but because the computer detected that one error now the air bags will not work at all until honda resets it (and takes $89.00).
While driving the airbag light illuminated on the dashboard when the consumer laid his cell phone or personnel computer on the passenger side seat. *nlm.
Srs light remained consistently on for several days for no apparent reason. Dealer noted the electronic sensor in the passenger seat might be affected by electronic equipment (ex. Cell phone, laptop) or the control module might be defective. The SRS system is not covered by any warranty beyond the normal 3yr/36k miles... Since this is a life safety system that was "properly" installed, shouldn't it be covered like the seat belts with a lifetime warranty? No other explanation was given as to the cause of the SRS light remaining on for several days.
The SRS light continuously stayed on indicating a malfunction in the system. *mr *scc
When I first purchased my vehicle, a 2000 honda accord coupe ex v6, the passenger seat will not lock into place after moving the seat forward so that rear passengers can enter or exit the vehicle, therefore posing an extreme safety hazard to front passenger occupants. I have told my dealership, ed voyles honda (miki mullinax is my service advisor) about this since I first purchased the vehicle and I was told that this is "just normal". I don't understand how a condition that is potentially so dangerous can be "just normal". Also, my SRS indicator has come on for no particular reason and I explained this to my dealership, after looking at the technical service bulletin on this website, and they were going to have me pay a diagnostic fee to see if this was true or not. I actually also had an instance of the failed mil which was resolved by my dealer yesterday (honda service bulletin #00-017). Please advise on these issues. Thanks. Jody kell ps: the incident date that I am using is the day that I purchased the vehicle, which is when the seat issue first began.
The dashboard light labeled "SRS" illuminated around 34,500 miles. According to the provided owners manual the entire system is non-functional as indicated by the SRS light. I had the system examined by the dealer and they diagnosed the problem as a failed passenger position sensor, located within the right side of the passenger seat. The dealer fixed everything but the sensor, claiming that it was my responsibility to repair it because it wasn't covered under the warranty. Seeing that the airbag system is overall safety of the car, which composed a significant portion of my reasoning to buy the vehicle I advised them to replace the part, at approximately $500 only to be told that it was on back order. The airbag system will not function as a result of the failure of this position sensing component and severely compromises the overall safety of the vehicle for all occupants. I filed a complaint with the company and did not hear anything until I personally followed up, only to be told that I would have to pay for the repair, when the part arrived. Currently, my SRS system is inoperative from no fault of my own. I don't think that honda should market, install and sell such a system if they can not seem to get it to function correctly for at least 35000 miles if they are not willing to stand behind it, aside from the fact the possibility of a severe injury has now increase by and exponential amount, what consumers pay to prevent and insurance companies offer discounts to promote, due to the malfunction of the factory installed defective components. Seeing the fact that the supply is insufficent to meet the demand for the part leads me to believe that my vehicle is not the only one with this problem, and not the only whose safety of both passengers and driver a like is being compromised without the proper function of the purchased system.
