Without any reason whatsoever, SRS light came on and dealer would not even diagnose the problem without a substantial payment. I've read on the web that many honda users experience this problem around 100k miles. Air bags are federally mandated safety equipment like seatbelts. Seatbelts are covered by life-time warranty and so should be the air bags. The customer should not have to pay for failures of life-saving equipment that is not due to wear and tear or accident.

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. While driving 30 MPH, the contact crashed into the driver side door of another vehicle. The driver sustained injuries to her left leg and side. A police report was filed. The seat belt did not restrain her from moving forward and the air bag failed to deploy. The dealer replaced the seat belt buckle in june of 2007 and diagnosed the vehicle due to the SRS light illuminating.

Honda also sent an investigator to inspect the vehicle and concluded that they were not responsible for the failure. The current mileage was 51,250 and failure mileage was 51,184. The consumer stated was severely injured with hernia on right side and fractured pelvis on left major surgery to be performed.

Srs light on indicates air bag system problem. Dealer wants $100+ to test.
Srs light always on thus preventing deployment of airbags should an accident occur.
Pulling out of the garage and SRS light went on and stayed on for ever.
Srs light came on at around 90,000 miles and has been on every since. It would light up occasionally before (began lighting up at around 70,000 miles) but now it is on all the time.
The SRS light wont go out .the air bags won't deploy if I am in a accident .
Srs light came on around 80,000 miles. I have been told everything from it was no big deal, your air bags will not work. I just wanted to know that danger, if it could be fixed, and if there was a warranty coverage issue. It didn't seem to be covered by a recall, even though there were hundreds of cases on the web of people with accords all having the same problem.
The SRS light on my 2000 honda accord ex indicating failure has illuminated for the secoind time. The first time I took the car to my honda dealereship and they rest the light, 1 minute job for $100. They said if it goes on again I may need a new system which can run up to $1000 or more. If this is an important safety component as defined by the federal safety agency, why is not covered by a lifetime warranty?
The SRS light stays on all the time.
Srs light came on after 100,000. See honda accords in this year are notorious for these problems. Honda dealer is trying to say before I even bring it in that it oculd be 20 diff. Things setting this light on. Think he will tell me it is not covered if it really is. There are several tsb's on this issue with many disatisfied honda owners.
I own a 2000 honda accord se and the SRS indicator illuminated causing me to take into my honda mechanic. He ran a diagnostic and discovered a temporary code 09-03 indicates a malfunction in the drivers seat belt switch. This cost me $75. He scanned the engine computer for stored codes and retrieved the temporary code 09-03 occurred 14 times over 157 key cycles. Felt problem was very intermittent and reset should last a while or never return. Not more than a few days later, the SRS illuminated. Called mechanic and he said to bring the car in and we will reset; no charge. This back-and-forth continued for a while until it just became completely inconvenient and had to consider how to fix. Options were to: 1) replace the seat belt buckle on an educated guess with no guarantee this will solve the problem. Cost: $250. 2) continue the test procedures they have and remove seat and disassembling the seat cover to inspect the seat belt wiring, again with no guarantee. Cost: $225. I have not selected either option as I feel it is a honda defect and should be covered by them.
Srs warning light came on july, 2006. Took car to dealer under warranty extension: main components of the occupant position detection system. Car returned un-repaired. Srs warning light still on.
Srs light turned on spontaneously; honda keeping diagnostic codes secret, so my local shop is unable to fix; could be simple seat belt switch, could be airbag failure; not with $150+ to check for simple seat belt switch. Solution is to make the codes accessible to the public instead of keeping them secret so customers can choose where to have the repairs done instead of forcing repairs at honda dealership.
2000 honda accord SRS light and sensor unit problems**cc the SRS control unit was replaced at 67339 miles, 87909 miles and again at 97762 miles. The first time it failed the consumer only have to pay $100 deductible. The second time the SRS light illuminated the dealer told the consumer that he would be responsible for the cost to replace it because the replacement only had a one year warranty. The consumer decide to just let the dealer reset the light and not to have the unit replaced. The light came on a third time. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The dealer told the consumer that it would cost $690.54 to replace the unit.
My SRS light has been on since december 31, 2006. It is my understanding from the dealership that my airbags are now disabled and will most likely need to be replaced at a minimum cost of $1,300.00. Based on the safety risks and the number of consumer complaints, honda should issue an immediate recall.

2000 honda accord lx - SRS light has been checked and reset (51,770 miles), the mechanic said that there was nothing wrong with system and he didn't know why the light had come on. It came back on again within a month. Honda tells me that the front and side passenger air bags will not deploy if this light is on. There is no extended warranty or recall for this make and model vehicle. This is unacceptable that honda will not warranty a safety system involving air bags.
Srs light is on I think there is a problem with honda accords regarding SRS light. It keeps coming on. I already took it to a dealer. He had initially replaced opds unit.

In reference to a 2000 honda accord with nearly 160,000 miles. The SRS light came home a few days ago. The SRS light indicates a problem with the airbag. The honda dealership will not look into this problem without me paying them nearly $100. From what I have been told and from what I have read, this SRS light indicates a problem with an opds sensor and is common in this year model. I am not sure what to do or who to contact. I feel this should be covered and repaired free of charge. I have no control over this sensor and in no way could I have "broken" this or caused the problem. I have searched and searched for recalls on this particular issue, but nothing! Please help!

Srs light has been on for weeks, found it means faulty airbag. Found honda issued "technical bulletin 02034 (update 06-009) for a faulty control unit that caused the SRS to come on. The warranty is for 10 years or 150,000 miles." called stevens creek honda dealership (san jose), and service advisor quoted $126 just for checking if my case applies to it. If it is, he said he will call honda for action. Why does not honda just recall this ? Do I have to pay $126 just to see if it is warranty item ? I know from website (http://www.carcomplaints.com) that many guys are reporting same problem. Thanks.
