After buying the car I started having problems with airbag warning light system, and continue to have this problem over the next 3 years. I have taken this car to two different dealerships for this problem and they would fix the problem for a short time and then the light would come back on. The last time I took the car to bob montomergy honda world in louisville, ky. They stated that they had found the problem and that they have fixed the problem, after a couple of months the problems returned.
While driving consumer applied the brakes and pedal went to the floor. This caused consumer's vehicle to rear end another vehicle in front. Upon impact, driver's side air bag did not deploy. But passenger's side air did deploy. Driver sustained neck and back injuries, and was taken to the hospital for observation. The vehicle was totaled by the insurance company.
Srs and side air bag lights come on and off intermittently regardless of pcs phone use and/or person/book bag in passenger seat. Brought to dealer in april 2004, said it was a weak battery. Had battery inspected by independant mechanic and was well with specifications for 3-4 yr old battery. Paid $39.00 to tell me that nothing was wrong. Noticed recall for 2000-2001 honda accord illuminator panel and discovered not the issue, but found this site and am amazed at the number of failures with no resolution or cause as to why this is occuring. Will contact dealership again with case studies obtained from this website.
Driver side air bag cover produced a split. Consumer was concerned that the side air bag will deploy inadvertently.
Srs light on. Found code 15-3 opds sensor failure. New sensor required at a cost of $421.

Srs light is constantly on. Took it to dealer, was charged $68 to be told it's a 7-2 problem and have the light reset. As soon as I started up the car, the light came back on. Was told it would need a new control unit replacement that would cost almost $500! My car has never had any problems to cause this -- no accidents, no low battery, no air bag deployment, nothing. Seems much to soon to have something like this go "out."
The vehicle was involved in an accident, and the air bags did not deploy, consumer was injured, however prior to incident, the air bag light illuminated, but the dealer stated nothing was wrong.*jb also, dealer made repairs on cruise control and radio.
In march of 2003, while driving home from the grocery store, my husband swerved and then stopped (without any collision) and the front passenger airbag of our 2001 honda accord ex deployed while I was sitting in the seat. We were instructed by honda service at white plains, ny to go through our insurance, only to find out that the reason the airbag deployed was due to faulty air bag sensors in our car's computer. Five weeks later, we got our car back from the shop. Now, a year later, our insurance company at the time (progressive) has advised us to follow up with the federal safety agency to file a complaint against honda. To this date, the SRS light on my dashboard still comes on with no explanation, and the greenwich and white plains honda dealerships want nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, I feel unsafe driving the car and have been since the incident when I was 3 months pregnant, and now have a 6 month old child that I drive around in the vehicle.
From the time that I have owned this vehicle I have had to taken it to two different dealerships( sam swope honda world and bob montgomery honda) concerning the airbag warning light. This vehicle has been the shop 8 different times for this same problem they always do a quick fix and within a couple of months the problem recurs. The airbag lights light comes on like the system is still deactivated. The last time I had it in the shop on 3/1/04 at bob montgomery within hours of getting the car back the light was back on.
The air bag sensor light malfunctioned. The consumer was concerned the air bag will not deploy upon impact. *jb the component to repair the air bag was order december 2003 but it still has not arrived at the dealer. The vehicle transmission.

After 1 week of using my accord,the side airbag lights comes on and off.I took it for repair to the dealership where I bought the car[rosenthal honda of tysons corner .va.]this has been going on and on and today is my 5th time to complain about my side airbag indicator,and again I was told the same thing over and over again.they say the indicator will come and stay if my passenger is not properly sitted,I cannot understand why the light indicator stays and won't go off.I am so tired of pleasing the service center telling the same thing again and again,I don't know how to resolve this problem anymore.yesterday I called the amaerican honda motors and they told me that the indicator should not stay on.service center has no good explanation on this.please help thanks
The SRS light came on and stayed on until car was turned off. First date of failure noted above. This same problem has occurred 2 more times since the first repair attempt. At the present time, the car is in need of a third repair attempt. The current odometer reading is 7,700.
All of the above dates and mileage are approximate. I have the information on paper at home. I have also had the hardest time with honda financial services with them calling me and saying that I never paid my monthly bill (last fall), which I did, and then finally they found the check and said "oh, our mistake, it has been here the whole time." and then now, I have them saying that I was in default of my lease because they never had information for my insurance, which my insurance was supposed to send them that information. I checked back with them a week later (today) and they said that they were going to impound my car because my insurance company never got back with them. Called my insurance company, and it took 5 mins. To have someone fax over proof of insurance. That was all - was it that difficult??? This car had to have the back brakes replaced after 25000 miles (about a month ago - it was making this awful noise, like rattling chains underneath) - that should not have happened. The back window tinting lifted up after 1 year, the tire blew out on the freeway 1 month after getting it (leased the car aug 2001). The service engine light has come on twice, for no apparent reason. And the SRS light was on 2 different times. Had it turned off the 1st time. Then 1 week later it was back on, brought back to my dealership and they said it was something wrong with the computer system, but they could not give me a good enough explanation. When I first was looking for a car at the dealership, this car was not on the lot where all the other cars for sale were, it was in the back, by the service department. Asked the sales rep if the car was in okay condition and he said it was, and there was nothing wrong with it because it only had 10 miles on it - I should have known then. This car is a pain in the behind and it is just a hassle for everything that keeps happening with it.

The left tire blewout and the air bags deployed and cracked the windshield. The vehicle sustained damage. . Engine reved high when taking foot off gas pedal. The dealer adjusted the base idle because it was too high. *ts
