Dt: the SRS light stayed on since the consumer purchased the vehicle. When the consumer took vehicle to the dealership for regular maintance they would reset the light. Every time it would come back on. The consumer was concerned because she has been informed that the air bag will not deploy since this light was on.
2001 Honda Accord airbags complaints
Page 12 of 15: complaints 311 to 340 of 407, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Srs has come on again, indicating that the 2001 honda has no operating airbags. We have had this looked at numerous times, and it has been claimed to be fixed numerous times, but always re-occurs.
2001 honda accord v6 ex. The car was at dealer for some service. Upon return, SRS light came on. Went back to dealer, was told battery needs changing. Changed battery and reset SRS. Was ok for a couple of days and SRS light came back on. Back to dealer where was told that opds needs changing @almost $500. Reset the opds and SRS light. Light stayed off for a week and came back on. Have seen many web posting with same problem and changing opds does not resolve issue. I believe this is a safety issue that honda needs to take care of. I don't want to spend $500 where they are not really sure if it will fix the problem. 8jb
On 7/28/05 my SRS light came on for the 5th time in the 4.5 years I've owned the car. This is my second filing with the federal safety agency on this issue. My dealer has been willing to replace and reset the sensor, but not before chastising me for placing my cell phone in proximately to the passenger seat. Although they have supporting documents from honda on this "electronic interference" I find this difficult to believe as I drive my car less than a mile a day, many days I never use my car or cell phone in the car. It appears from the many posts here there is a problem with honda accord 2001 SRS sensor and honda should be made to replace them appropriately.
My SRS light is on at all times in my 2001 honda accord. I took it to a honda dealership in june, 2005. I was told that when the SRS light is on, my air bag system is inoperable and air bags will not deploy on impact. Dealership inspection found a code for seat belt buckle switch/sensor causing the SRS light. The buckle set has been special ordered and has not arrived after one month. In the meantime, I drive around with my SRS light on and no airbags. Why are there so many complaints about this same issue on the federal safety agency website? Does this issue need to be addressed as a possible recall? So many of the complaints regarding this same issue are with no resolution. So far I have no resolution. I did not buy a car with no air bags. I want to feel confident my air bags will do their job should I be in an accident. They have saved my life in the past. If you have this same issue, I encourage you to file a complaint.
Dt: the consumer owns a 2001 honda accord. The consumer states that she got into an accident on monday and the air bags did not deploy.
The SRS light in my 2001 honda accord repeatedly comes on. I have had the opds unit replaced twice, and I have been told by the dealer that it has to be replaced again.
2001 honda accord is experiencing persistent problems with SRS light.*mr the consumer is concerned that the air bags may not deploy during an accident.
I am writing to file a complaint and for information regarding a persistent problem I am having with my 2001 honda accord SRS light. Specifically the dashboard SRS light goes on for no reason. I have been told by the dealer that they cannot guarantee that my airbags will deploy if I am in an accident or that the bags may deploy for no reason. 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 etc. But yet there is still no recall regarding this extremely dangerous safety issue. I am hoping you can help me understand the following: 1. Why hasn't there been a recall regarding this issue? 2. Has the federal safety agency conducted an investigation into the problem of the SRS indicator light on 2001 honda accords? If so, what facts were found, what determination was made and what result followed? 4. What is the solution?? This is truly a mystery to me, and I feel very unsafe driving my car with this light on!!! Please contact me if you need more information or if I can be of any assistance in having this problem designated for recall. It is very scary driving with this light on, and it is through no fault of the owners of these vehicles! I also understand that later model years 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! Please help.
1) front passenger seat does not lock in place. Seat slides all the way to the front when I brake. My passengers have to quickly bring their arms foward to stop themselves from hitting the dashboard; one time my passenger hand hit her eye in the process of trying to stop the seat from hitting the dashboard. 2) SRS indicator light come on when I just place a light purse on the passenger seat. This is a 2001 honda accord v6 with only 15,000 miles. 3) there have been numerous complaints to nhts regarding this SRS light malfunction. When will nhts do a recall? The dealers want to charge me to look into the seat not locking in place, and the SRS light.
Srs indicator light has come on and will not go off. This is a honda accord v6 with only 40,000 miles on it. To get it diagnosed it is $100.00.
Air bag light illuminated while driving. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the SRS module needed to be replaced ,and it was not covered under a recall. Consumer anticipated the air bags may deploy inadvertently while driving or not deploy in a vehicle crash.
The vehicle was on the road when the passenger right tire went over a pot hole causing the passenger air bag to deploy. Manufacturer has been contacted by consumer.
While driving down the road vehicle ran over a pot hole and the side air bag deployed inadvertently.
I own a 2001 honda accord ex . The SRS light has been on for several months. I have taken it to a local shop to have them try to turn it off, but they cannot. I have read several forum that state honda is clueless about trying to solve this issue and have charged customers a great deal of money to troubleshoot, but never fix the issue. Honda will not admit that they have a defective system which disables the airbags, creating a life-threatening situation should I have an accident.
The dashboard airbag light comes on when I just place my purse on the passenger front seat, or if I place a heavy bag on the floor and it leans against the passenger front seat. Browsing through your site complaints, I notice that my car is not the only one with the airbag light coming on. The complaint states that the dealer would not do anything, that person had an accident and the airbag never went off. Has anything changed since the complaint was filed where the dealer would fix the problem at no charge to me?
1. Purchased a new 2001 accord and the air bag lights would come on and off. Returned car to dealership three times w/o corrective action. Finally told that the tecnology is sensitive and nothing can be done.*ak 2. On 11/27/04 I was in an accident. Another car came through an intersection and I hit the car broadside at approximately 35 MPH. I hit with the passenger front corner and extending to the midsection of the front of the car. Air bags did not deploy! Both vehicles had to be towed, police report filed and minor property damage.
While traveling eastbound at approximately 35 MPH a car traveling westbound made a left turn causing me to hit the car head on. My air bags did not deploy. The damage to my car was extensive, and the insurance company declared it a total loss. Seat belt worn. Transported by ambulance for chest, neck, knee, and arm pain.
Srs indicator light came on 10/15/2004 when I started engine in the morning and the light stayed on after that. Car is maintained in good condition always, there was no problem with the car and it ran fine. Talked to dealers and all said they need to diagnose for a charge of 80-100$. I took the car to coral springs honda on 10/22/2004 and they said SRS unit is bad and they charged 516.00 $ to replace it. I had to pay and replace the SRS unit (fp no. 77960-s84-a75, dtc 07-2 SRS unit, 6490148). It seems this is a generic failures as shown by many complaints here. Honda should pay for this problem fix and customers shouldn't be burdened with this replacement cost!
Srs light continues to stay on while driving.. *bf the vehicle was taken to the dealer who determined that the vehicle needed a new opds unit switch which is located under the passenger seat and controls the air bags. The dealer contacted the manufacturer to see if the part was covered and was told that only the SRS unit and cable reels were covered. The consumer did not have the repairs made because she believes the manufacturer should be financially responsible.
The air bag light was on. Dealer stated that consumers' cell phone on the seat made the light go on. Dealer showed consumer a paper, stating that the electronic devices caused problems with air bags. The consumer paid $300.00 for the repairs.
I took my honda accord 2001 in for service and mentioned that the SRS light blinks off and on. I was told later that the drivers side airbag had "gone bad". The mechanic said "it happens". The vehicle has never been in any kind of collision. Mechanic also told me that he has had several come in that way. It is not covered under warrantee, and is an $800 part. I would also like to mention that the side airbag light also flashes on and off and was told that the seatbelt was causing it. I don't think the part that a driver depends on to save them in a crash should just "go bad."
After being involved in a collision passenger's frontal air bag deployed and driver's side air bag did not deploy. According to the mechanic the air bags were on the same sensor, and both should have deployed. Manufacturer refused to send a representative.
Srs warning light turned on 3 times within first year of purchase (jul. 01) the dealership gave an excuse that cell phone chargers will set it off. Within 2 years it turned on another 2 times and has stayed on ever since. Talked to another dealership and they said a cell phone charger should in no way cause that light to turn on. Turned to first dealership with this reply and they said since the warranty is up they would not do anything about it and still had no other reason it should be on. The date listed is the day a second dealership was confronted and first dealership confronted. Was referred by employee at a seperate repair shop.
Pursuant to the freedom information act regarding recalls involving 2001 honda accords.*mr attorney request certified copies of any and all documents or information relative to any recalls of 2001 honda accords, which have been issued by honda, the united states product safety commission or the united states highway traffic safety administration. The attorney's client was operation a 2001 honda accord when another vehicle turned into her path and struck her vehicle on the driver's side. The driver's side air bag failed to deploy upon impact. The client sustained injuries to her neck, shoulder and back.
Srs illuminated for no apparent reason. The vehicle is a 2001 honda accord ex. After dealer reset, the light came on again. When the light is on the SRS is rendered inoperative. The dealer was prepared with literature for reasons that might cause the light to illuminate. I think this situation should be considered as serious as faulty seat belt and/or harness failures which are covered by the dealer on an extended warranty basis. After reading many complaints about the SRS light stays on or illuminated it is obvious that my problem or system failure isnt an isolated case. It appears that many drives are accepting the light illuminated as irritating and to expensive to repair while their SRS system is totally inoperative. What might even be worse is that there are quick fixes on the internet to reset the light and by repeated resetting the light might mask or ignore the root problem. The dealer charge for the diagnostic test was $80.00. The dealer agreed to reset the light again concurrent with other maintenance. After a third reset by the dealer I was told that it would not reset and the control module would need to be replaced. Approximate total cost $750.00.
2001 honda accord air bag. *mr the entire air bag system was compromised by a tissue box. The consumer felt that honda should make every effort to secure and or encase the wiring for the air bag system. A tissue box which was shoved under the driver seat had cut the wiring system to the air bags. The dealer refused to provide repairs under warranty because the failure was the result of the consumer's actions.
Supplemental restraint system light illuminateed which disabled the air bag safety system. *mr the opds was replaced and the vehicle operated without the SRS light illuminating for a year, the SRS light had come back on and disabled the air bag system. The service dealer detected a "hard code," which determined deployment on the driver's side air bag, which had not occurred. The consumer requested that the service dealer "dix honda," repair the air bag system and to warrant continuing workmanship and stability of the SRS. *sc
