Srs indicator came on and stayed on. This has never happened before. Side airbag indicator often comes on for no reason.
Our 2001 honda accord has always been serviced @ the dealer, penske honda in ontario ca. The SRS light has come on periodically since purchase, but the salesman and service told my son it was no big deal. My daughter had a collision @ 65 MPH, rear ended a truck 4k after I had $1500 worth of service, and I told henry at the dealer I wanted to make sure the airbags were checked. Her car was a total loss, and she hit the truck evenly, not at an angle. The passenger airbag deployed, driver's did not. Honda customer service was rude,refused a supervisor call back, & accepted no responsibility even though no one saw the vehicle. They claim the car slid under the truck, and was contained in the crumple zone. If that is true why did the passenger air bag go off? I'm told both airbags are on 1 mutual sensor. I need someone to inspect this vehicle or to pull the codes to prove there was a problem; they refused. All I wanted was cooperation to note a possible product defect. Now they have me angry enough to pursue legal. Poor move honda!!!!!if you have a product defect, and someone else dies, what then?
2001 accord ex v6 drove over a pot hole at about 35 MPH and SRS light went on. Taking it to a dealer seems, from all other complaints, to be ineffective but costly.
Vehicle is a 2001 honda accord ex with 3.0 liter v-6 engine. Srs light on dash came on. I have been told that this means that the air bags will not deploy in an accident. I have also been told that the dealer charges $1300 to replace the SRS module - which I do not have. Why isn't this safety feature covered under warranty?
Dt*: the contact rear ended another vehicle while driving 55 MPH. There was no braking prior to the collision. The passenger side air bag deployed, but the driver side airbag did not. Seat belts were worn but the driver sustained a broken left hand and had to have surgery on it. The vehicle was deemed totaled by the insurance company. Updated 3/3/2006 -
Red SRS light illuminated on the dashboard. Called honda dealership. They claim it is not a recurring problem and it will cost $100 to read the error code, and $600-$1300 to fix depending on what failed. I waited at the dealership and talked to 3 other people with the exact same issue. Honda is clearly avoiding responsibility for a faulty seat belt airbag system.
2001 honda accord air bags inadvertently deployed while driving. *ts ***no ans required*** the consumer was informed, that due to a minor scrape on the uni-body undercarriage frame (the section running parallel to the long axis of the vehicle on the passenger side approximately halfway from the rear) that the deployment was due impact at the scrape point. Neither the manufacturer or the dealer wanted to take responsibility.
My 2001 honda accord SRS light has came on and stayed on. This has been a problem with other 2001 honda accords and I want to know if there has been a recall put out to correct the problem? Thank you .
2001 honda accord SRS lamp remains lit. No accident or other events caused this to occur. Consequences of SRS unit failure includes non-deployment of airbags in frontal/side impact. Diagnostic evaluation estimates parts replacement at $425.
2001 honda accord with 45000 miles. Srs red light on the dash that indicates the front airbags are likely disabled stays on. A honda mechanic has tested for the error code and reset the SRS twice. Both times the light came back on after starting the car. The code from his test indicates that the unit controlling the front air bags is the problem. Seems to me that part should not fail on a car this new with this few miles when it has never been involved in an accident.
The SRS light went on in my car for no reason.
Srs light is on, vehicle needs new opds. Result: no working air bags.
Srs light come on for no reason, paid a mechanic to reset the light. 3 month later it come on again, paid again to reset it.
I am writing in regards to a problem I am having with my 2001 honda accord side air bag light. The side air bag light goes on for no reason then turns itself off in 10 to 15 minutes. I have researched this problem online and find that many other 2001 honda accord owners are having this same exact issue, and have filed complaints. They have been to the dealer spending their own money to replace the sensor/control module but it is only a temporary fix. Why pay for something that is broken and is not the fault of the owner?? The dealer says if the side air bag light is illuminated, the side air bags will not deploy. There is still no recall regarding this extremely dangerous safety issue. What will it take to start a recall regarding this issue? Has the federal safety agency conducted an investigation into the problem of the side air bag indicator light on 2001 honda accords? I bought this car specifically for the side air bags. Amazing, hondas made after 2001 do not have this problem, so honda has obviously corrected a known problem. They should have to correct it in the 2001 model year as well.
Since the day I purchased my vehicle (aug. 2004), the "side airbag"/"SRS" light have continuously come on. I have repeatedly notified the dealership of the problem and they haven't a clue. There are instances where the warning light(s) have been on for well over 2 hrs or 200+ miles. I have brought the vehicle to more than one honda location for troubleshooting, and they all have no answer. According to honda's technicians, the warning lights are not leaving a trouble code, so they proclaim they have no possible solution for the issue. The common response is "the SRS system is testing itself," "there are too many/too little objects in the seat," "cell phone interference," etc.. So far honda has not offered a proper solution, or even a probable cause. At this point I feel extremely unsafe in the vehicle due to this issue. Individual's safety should not be a ignored or dismissed. I feel have been mislead from day one about the reliability, safety, or the car in general. I bought a certified used honda with the assumption of a excellent/quality vehicle. So far, I have experienced nothing but headaches, numerous serious safety/mechanical recalls, and a lack of interest on the part of honda. At this point, I am wasting my time, money, and possibly my health in this car. I do not feel safe, therefore I shouldn't have to settle for this vehicle--especially for the price I am expected to pay. It is disappointing to see issues as serious as these, being "swept under the carpet" by it's makers.
The SRS light came on in my 2001 honda accord ex and does not go off. The dealer wants $125 to diagnose the problem and $1300 to replace the sensor unit. The service man never told me that this is a problem with accords, but is clearly indicated as a problem in several web sites. I bought this car specifically for the side air bags and paid extra for them up front. Now I don't know if the air bags will work in case of an accident. This a safety issue!!!!
The SRS indicator in my 2001 honda accord ex has lit up for no apparent reason.
Srs airbag light in my 2001 honda accord continues to illuminate. Unknown reason for activation, no accident history for this to occur. Owners manual states airbag malfunction. After further investigation this is a common problem with honda's.
Side airbag light goes on and off on honda 2001 accord lx 4 door. Dealer found no problem and suggested that an object was on the front passenger seat. This problem has been repeating for over a year without objects on the front seat. Dealer is not helpful and has erroneously diagnosed my last two problems, causing me to pay for unnecessary repairs.
Srs light comes on. Problem with air bags. I've heard that honda has a life time warranty on seat belts and not the air bag system. They should cover the SRS(air bags) also. I've heard the SRS is a common problem with 2001 honda accords.
Dt: the contact stated the SRS indicator light came on without warning. The dealer inspected the vehicle and stated there was nothing wrong. The light sensor was rest. The light illuminated again within twenty four hours. The vehicle was not been returned to the dealer for repair at this time. The light was reset at the contact's own expense. The symptoms matched the federal safety agency investigation pe05043.*ak updated 11/15/2005.
1. Recurrent problem with intermittent flashing of side airbag light since 11/2000. Took it to dealer and module/sensor was replaced but problem recurred in less than 3 months. 2. Also has problem with SRS light. It was flashing periodically but it has been on constantly since 02/2005. Honda dealer service advisor felt the cause is leaning on side of seat but problem persists when I am not touching side/edge of seat.
My SRS light came on in my 2001 honda accord has been on for about 2 weeks now and I went to go get it checked out. The dealer told me an attachment to the airbag and horn(doesn't work) would have to be replaced which he says would cost me $1000. I advised him not to fix the problem. Although, the same time the SRS light came on my engine light has been on as well for the same amount of time. I had a friend advised me of complaints on the web of the SRS light coming on in most 2001 honda accords. I looked into it and saw too many complaints about this but nothing has been done about it. There has been no recall regarding it and that may cost someone their live because of it. From what I'm reading on these reviews of the SRS light it seems as though there will be no failure of the airbag but that's not what the manual says regarding the light. It states if the light comes on and stays on it may not deploy when needed for an accident. If that's the case then why is honda risking people's lives and not fixing this problem! You can take money out someone's pocket but they won't have their live back! Do something!
I own a honda accord ex v6 with nearly 40,000 miles. At times the SRS light comes on until the ignition is turned off. This seems to be happening more and more. I took it back to the dealer but they said I would have to bring it back when the light is on. They could not find anything wrong via the computer memory. The manual says to bring the car in for service when the light goes on.
A SUV ran a stop sign and I impacted the SUV, at 45 miles per hour, directly against the right hand SUV rear door and wheel. My front sts (airbags) failed to deploy (this was the second accident in one year, both times no deployment) in a front end accident that totaled the car (estimate $7,000 for complete front end). Following the first incident, which caused $5,000 plus in frontal damage, honda of america had the car's SRS system inspected and repaired. Honda of american now refuses to either look at or discuss the second incident. I look at a failure to deploy in a major accident as a major safety concern. And further look at honda of america's failure to take the problem seriously as a major failure on their part concerning the safety of the public traveling in their products.
My accord has similar problem as the odyssey regarding the airbag light is on. I went to the service dept in atamian honda, and the service advisor told me the censor inside of the passenger seat is rusted and caused the failure. I've contact honda care, the extended warranty, and they told me the airbag does not cover under the "full coverage" warranty I purchased. If the odyssey has a recall regarding the same airbag problem, I think my accord should be covered too.
The airbag system on our 2001 honda accord continues to malfunction. The SRS light comes on. One opds sensor was replaced under warrenty, but now the dealer wants almost $700 every time it comes back on. When I complain, they just tell me I must have put something on the passenger seat, that it's my fault.
Faulty supplemental restraint system/ SRS light. Srs was reset by honda dealer 01/10/05. Approx. 1 month later SRS came on again , has yet to be reset because I refuse to pay for another SRS reset. Honda of america refuses to fix this problem at their expense. There is a defect in the SRS sensors.
The yellow air bag light lights up intermittently. This has happened ever since the car was brand new, but now the frequency of this light activation is much greater. When there isn't anything on the front passenger seat the light will turn on by itself. When I then touch the passenger seats upper cushion (the backrest) with my hand it goes out. When I release the top cushion the light comes back on. This defect is most apparent during very humid days. Once the air conditioning has removed enough humidity from the passenger compartment the air bag light stays off.
