Honda accord 2001. Srs indicator light on for months now with no apparent trigger (no accidents, previous airbag deployment). Brought to honda dealer - charged $90 diagnostics which resulted that airbag control unit was broken. Replaced at outside mechanic with original honda parts for $400, however SRS light remained on despite correcting stated diagnostic problem. Argued to return part because problem was not resolved, which was finally done, but dealership states that needs another $90 diagnostic to find the problem again - back to square one. Concerned with safety issue of airbags not deployed in case of an accident, which appears to have occurred to other consumers. Very concerned with regards honda company in their lack of concern with their product and safety of their consumers!
2001 Honda Accord airbags complaints

My son had an accident while driving my 2001 honda accord. The driver airbag did not deploy, but the passenger airbag did deploy, even though there was not a passenger in the vehicle. Also, the seat belts locked up. The accident was on 12-2-06 and I have tried two different dealerships to find out why the driver airbag did not deploy. They will not give me an explaination and they will not fix the seatbelts until I replace the airbags, which I cannot afford.
2001 honda accord, 71,500 miles, SRS light will not go off.
The SRS light has been coming on since I bought the car new in 2001. It was fixed several times covered under warranty and once by some recall. Now I don't have a warranty and it has been on for about 8 months and honda wants to charge me to fix it.
The 2001 honda accord SRS light kept coming on. Very expensive to fix for an airbag.
Srs light is on.
2001 honda accord purchased new at dealership. A few months later (less than 1 year) SRS light indicating problem with airbag came on and stayed on. Auto was brought back to dealer for repair; temporarily light off, but came back shortly thereafter. In all total, car brought in for this problem probably 6 or more times, variably called sensor, light bulb and seat belt problem. Daughter now has car, and has moved out of town. Light is on, indicating problem, and she has a wreck, with no injuries but causing moderate damage to front of car. Front end repaired, light temporarily went off, but came back on within a , month or two, another wreck with damage to front and back car, this time to point of having to be towed and undrivable. In neither case did airbags deploy, and daughter sustained mild neck and head injury from hitting head repeatedly on steering wheel. We believe that there is a serious flaw in airbag sensor and deployment system that lead us astray in assuming it was minor, and could have allowed major injury to daughter. We are very anxious about letting her drive car again.
I started getting an indication of SRS light. Started doing research online and noticed the a lot of people are having the same issue with 2001 honda accord. What is the deal is this car safe?
I purchased a new honda accord ex in 2001 at a honda dealer in texas , now the check engine light and tcs light came on and stayed on. I checked the owner's manual and found out it could be that the gas cap might not have been tightened. So I have to wait until 3 driving trips to see if it wentoff. Thats waswhat manual suggested first. Then itwent off to honda dealer to see if computer needed a new catalytic converter ,which I heard could likely be inaccurate diagnosis, and more likely oxygen sensor. Also another problem occurred, the SRS light stayed on and did not go out. *ak SRS light coming on, I have also had my check engine light and tcs indicator come on. It is a bit concerning that I have had so many issues with this particular accord with so few miles on it. Seems like a huge safety issue that an air bag does not deploy with the SRS light on. What is wrong with this car? Did I buy a lemon? I will definitely not buy another honda. Extremely disappointed in honda's lack of concern for safety, which they tout so much about, and disrespect for consumer's concerns.
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The SRS lights remained illuminated. The dealer stated the opd sensor is the cause of the failure. The opd sensor was replaced twice and did not solve the problem. The failure and current mileage were 130000.
The SRS light turned on last week at 75000 miles, and I know that it is related to the airbag restraint system. My husband had the same problem couple of years ago , and the dealer told him that the use of cellophane may have caused the system to malfunction. The dealer fixed it for free because the car was still under the 36000 mile warranty. After doing some investigation I found out that this problem was very common for the 2001 models. I also found out that this problem was very costly and was no longer under warranty. I got into a car accident in march 2007, the front end of my car slid into a snow bank, and I am thankful that the damage was not major. The air bags never deployed . The SRS light turned on a couple of weeks after the accident, and I was not sure if I ever had any protection at the time of the accident, since the airbags never deployed. Now every time I get into my car I am very nervous because my life behind the wheel of this honda was at stake. I do not have any money to buy another car or fix get the current issue. Honda should issue a recall on this!! Peoples lives were in danger when they were on the road, and this should not be taken lightly by anyone. I am a mother, a wife, a sister, and a daughter. My life has value. Please look into this. Thank you .
One day, my SRS check light came on randomly. I researched it on the internet to see what the problem may be, and I was informed that they're one of the very common problems associated with the 6th generation accords, that are caused by no real problems. Honda corporation is not willing to offer a remedy about the problem, even though it involves safety issues (airbags will not deploy when the SRS light is illuminated). I have to take it to the dealer now and pay $80+, just to have it checked out. If my SRS needs to be replaced, as with most cases experienced by other accord owners, it will be another $700+ for replacement.. Thank you for your time and attention.
The honda accord entered a turn lane and began decreasing speed due to a red traffic light when at the same time a truck driven by a teenage boy excessively accelerated while exiting a gas station and spun out of control. The truck crashed into the honda accord causing major damage to the front and driver side/front of car. The radiator and engine were pushed back toward the driver. The car could not be driven following the accident. None of the air bags deployed. The estimated speed of the honda at the time of the collision was 20 - 25 MPH. The car is at the dealership awaiting insurance review to determine if can be repaired.
Srs air bag sensor faulty, possible risk of injury or even death due to faulty air bag deployment.
2001 honda accord SRS light came on with no reason and stayed on.
Supplemental restraint system becomes inoperative for several reasons, possibly including weak battery, cell phone use, placement of lightweight package on front passenger seat. Dealer was intent on collecting scanner fee claiming no warranty responsibility on a temporary error message. I offered to buy a replacement battery at above market rate if dealer would absorb the scanner charge. Dealer declined and urged me to leave and never return.
My honda 2001 accord ex starts to show SRS light on. Searching the internet, many people have the same problem for no apparent reason. This is a big safety issue. The car is under 60000 miles. Honda should have a recall on this car.
I have a 2001 honda accord. My SRS light has been on and my horn does not work. According to the federal safety agency defect investigation #pe05043, "in march 2006, honda issued a service bulletin (06-009) to extend the warranty on SRS illumination and opds issues to 10 years or 150,000 miles " my current mileage is 86,000 miles and we have owned the vehicle for less than 10 years. I did not receive a notification letter and when I called honda sf today to inquire, they told me that the service was not covered under warranty. If my vehicle meets the criteria specified in your report, why is the dealership not honoring their warranty extension? Today, the maintenance dept at sf honda suggested that the horn was connected to the airbag electronic sensors and that if I wanted to fix the problem, that no part of service would be covered under warranty. I understand that in investigation #pe05043, you have not tested to see if this defect is a valid safety issue. Are there any current tests that compare the safety standards between having a functioning airbag and seat belt verses just a functioning seat belt? I don't think it's right that I should pay $1500 to fix this. I should not worry about getting into a crash especially if the car should still be covered under the warranty extension. Anyway, to sum it up. 1. I want honda to honor the warranty extension per your investigation and I want honda to repair my vehicle for free. 2. I want you to investigate to find out why honda is not honoring the warranty extension for myself and possibly for other people. 3. I want you to investigate the safety implications of this faulty SRS system and take appropriate action to prevent serious injury to current honda owners. Thank you for your time and commitment to safety.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 40 MPH, another vehicle pulled out in front of the contact causing a crash. The air bags did not deploy. Both occupants in the vehicle sustained minor injuries and a police report was taken. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard. Later, the insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled. The dealer was not contacted. Updated 12/28/06.
Srs light comes 'on" already had them reset once by the dealer, who will charge me again $80.00 to perform an ongoing problem to 2001 homda accord's. When this light is "on" it will disable the air bag system.
Dt*: the contact stated the air bag light illuminated. The dealership determined the control module was bad and the air bag would not deploy during an accident.
I had my car serviced for a 30,000 service, brake pads replaced, and car detailed (washed, waxed, etc). When I went to pick my car up, the SRS light was on. I pointed it out, they said 'oh - something must have gotten wet' - they took the car back into the service area, reset the SRS light, and pulled the car up front. The next time I washed the car my self (open hose only, no 'pressure') the SRS light came on again. I've seen many SRS light issues on the accord listed via google searches...
I have a 2001 honda accord ex that I purchased from beaudry honda in tucson, az. I had the computer module replaced approximately 1 1/2 years ago because the air bag light indicated there was a malfunction. I wrote a letter to honda of america, torrance, ca, but they were unwilling to reimburse me for this defect. Since purchasing this car during may 2001, the side impact air bag light has activated on several occasions. In late 2005, the master control air bag module was found defective. To replace this module will cost over $650.00 in parts alone. I understand the federal safety agency has issued a warning to honda accord owners for defective air bag deployment systems. I am requesting that honda cover the repair for this factory defect as well as a reimbursement for the previous repairs. There is a tsb on your site regarding this matter. Thank you for our prompt attention to this matter as it places my and my family at great risk!
2001 accord has had SRS light replaced and brakes. Srs light continued to illuminate after being replaced. *ts the dealer replaced several parts on the vehicle. The air bag light has not illuminated since feb 2006 since the front shoulder belt buckle was replaced.. *jb the consumer was only reimbursed $248.40 of the $835.42 repairs made to vehicle. The consumer wanted to know how did the manufacturer come up with that figure for reimbursement. Updated 06/15/06.
My 2001 accord ex constantly displays an illuminated SRS light on the dashboard. The system has been checked several times and I have been told there is no problem with it. Rather, I'm told that it is sensitive to cell phones, driver positioning, etc. And other wise need not be repaired. In the meantime, the air bags are deactivated in a vehicle that I purchased to provide safety for my daughter who recently applied for her driver's license. I found roughly 60 complaints about this same issue on this website. People like myself are very concerned and spending a considerable amount of time and money on a safety issue that should be considered a warranty matter. I don't understand why honda is not being held accountable for this obvious defect.
Dt*: the contact stated the airbag light illuminated intermittently while the vehicle was running. No other indicators were present at the time of illumination. The dealer was unable to duplicate the problem, but the dealer replaced the entire driver seat belt in a unsuccessful attempt to remedy the problem. Updated 5/23/2006 -
My SRS air bag light came on about a year ago. I though it was a glitch because it happened at around 100000 miles. Someone told me recently that my air bags would not deploy with this light on so I have made an appointment to get it looked and have been told the airbag system may have to be replaced!!!!!!!!! I got online to research and have found that this is happening on many many 2001 accords. This is serious, why isn't it being recalled!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is peoples lives you are dealing with. Most people can't afford to spend that kind of money for something that is obviously a manufacturer error. But how can you not fix it when most people by honda because they are safe!
Srs light turned on. I have had several instances where the side airbag light has also illuminated, but this is the first time the SRS light came on (and remains on). This seems to be all the symptoms of your the federal safety agency action number pe05043.
My SRS indicator light comes on and stays on, which effectively turns off my air-bags on my 2001 honda accord ex v6. I brought this car for the safety, now I have to drive this car with my wife and kid with air bags that won't work.
Srs sensor light came on while vehicle was in operation and has never went off. After much research it appears that diag. And repair of this problem will be time consuming, expensive and will only be a temporary fix to a repetitive problem. In the mean time I will have to worry about whether or not my air bags are in fact; operational, non-operational or liable to deploy without cause.
