Took in our 2001 honda accord to have drivers side air bag recall work done. Srs warning light went out, but came back on in a week. Cookeville honda said this time it was the passenger side airbag, not a recall item, just a frequent problem that would have been covered by warranty, but our car has over 157,000 miles. If it is a problem and is a safety issue, shouldn't they have to fix it regardless of the mileage?

My SRS light stays on (airbags) and when I went on line it was said by the federal safety agency that there was a recall. When I contacted the dealership they asked for my VIN# and said mine did not qualify for them to fix the problem. I drive 50 miles to my job and 50 back home. As it stands right now if I were to get into an accident the airbags would not deploy. I drive a 2001 honda accord . I am having the same exact problems that everyone else is complaining about and I don't understand why or how only a few people are notified and the rest has to pay out of pocket! This is outrageous to say the least!
The SRS light came on and stays on as long as the engine is on. No correction done, can't afford to pay for the parts and labor. Car is 2001 honda accord.
Honda accord 2001 needs new opds unit I noticed that my side air bag light came on and shortly after that the SRS light came on. When I took it to the honda dealer they told me that I needed a new opds unit at $6662.70. Now that seems ungodly steep. But to top it off when I went online to research it, I find that many honda owners are experiencing exactly the same thing I am. I think honda should replace it.
2001 honda accord ex rear ended 2007 toyota solari at 30-32 MPH. The honda accord front end was pushed all the way into the motor and transmission and was totaled out by insurance company. The air bags never deployed. Wife was bruised by seat belt across the chest and very sore muscles in neck and back for several days, and headache. Took painkiller and muscle relaxant for couple of days after accident. Wife was driving honda. Just how bad an accident must there be for the air bags to work?
Srs light came on for no apparent reason. There are many honda car owners with the same problem. It's been on for about 6 months or 2k miles.
I had a head on collision with a big rig on the freeway on I-5 monday august 31st. I was going about 68/miles an hr when the big rig hit me from the front. The impact was pretty bad because I have cervical strain and been in bed since monday. Also strained my back due to me being thrown forward n back even with my seat belt on. The strange part is that my air bag didn't go inflate with that much impact. I think if the air bag would've inflated then that would've saved me from all this injury. 5 years ago, I was in an accident as well and at that time I rear ended a still car going about 65 miles and at that time the air bad didn't go off either, my concern at this point is that there's some defect in the air bag in my car because it should've inflated this time due to the impact but it didn't.
Srs light on my honda accord keeps coming on. Had it reset at honda dealership still keeps coming on. Worried airbag will not deploy when needed.
2001 honda accord airbag caused severe burns and cuts.
Srs light on all the time. Called 2 honda dealers, both told me that there was a 93 dollar diagnostic fee . Research reveals that there is a honda service bulletin 06-009. On page 7 it states that the inspection is free of charge even if there is not a problem with the opds system. If you have paid for repairs in the past you may be eligible for reimbursement. Honda also states, problems done after warranty expiration my be eligible for goodwill consideration by the district parts and service manager or zone office. Do not give up easily.

Air bag SRS indicator light came on and stays on. I learned through owners on the internet concerning past problems with air bags and difficulty at honda dealerships on this problem. Upon contacting honda customer service, they informed me that my VIN number is not covered by the extended warranty of 10 years or 150,000 miles. I feel that this is a very serious defect, do to the air bags will not deploy on impact while the SRS light is on. My 2001 honda has 84,000 miles and purchased it june of 2003.
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 honda accord lx. While driving 20 MPH, the contact crashed the vehicle into a pole. The passenger side air bag deployed, but the driver's side air bag did not.

No repairs have been made to the vehicle. The manufacturer stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle; therefore, no compensation would be provided. The failure mileage was 76,000.
For the past several months, I've noticed the SRS light come on & remain on (usually after I have started my 2001 honda accord 4-dr sedan) it goes out @ indeterminate times & then does it again seemingly when it feels like it. I understand that it corresponds to the airbags which are interestingly part of the vehicles' "safety" equipment, however, isn't covered to remain in working condition - at no cost to vehicle owner (I bought the vehicle new & I am the owner). I have seen hundreds (over 400) of complaints re. The identical failure of this "safety" issue & have yet to see anyone in a position of authority do anything to correct the situation. Please add me to the list of complainants. Thank you
My son was in an accident where he lost control of his 01 honda accord and hit a tree. The car is totaled. Though there is all of this damage the air bags did not deploy. He hit the tree going about 25 MPH after sliding on ice.
The SRS light in my 2001 honda accord has come on and wont go off. The airbags have never been deployed before in the car and after some searching have found that this is a common problem with the year make model of car. Also I was horrified to find out that the airbags will not deploy if the SRS light is on due to a sensor failure. This endangers my life and the life of anyone who drives the vehicle and since airbags are required in a vehicle shouldn't there be a lifetime warranty on airbags??? It cost up to 700 dollars to replace the unit. So because of a bad design I can't have a system in my vehicle determined by the dot to be required repaired if it fails due to no fault of my own. I am outraged and there should be something done about this immediately.
Srs light on, based on the information available to me I believe the airbags will fail to deploy when the SRS light is illuminated. Honda does not cover the repair as they feel airbags are a secondary safety feature, however the fact that it had airbags and a good safety rating played a large part in my decision to purchase the 2001 accord. If manufacturers are going to exploit positive safety reviews I feel they should cover them for the life of the vehicle so long as the fault is detected by a manufacturer installed on board computer, I.e. Srs light on. My wife and two kids are the primary occupants of this vehicle, it is important to me that the safety features are functional.

I have a 2001 honda accord ex-lv6, bought used in 2002. 3 months after purchase SRS light comes on. Brought to silko honda, they reset light. Light came back on. Said they had to have car for 3 days to really find problem. Left car for 3 days , repair order ststes installed s/o control unit, reset light, came back on. Then ordered and installed SRS unit, reset and light is still on. They then traced wires to the control unit and found some broken wires. Fixed wires . Light out for 11 months and SRS light pops up again!brought back to dealer and they fixed sam for about 4 years. 8 months ago SRS light is on again!! Im running out of patience with incompetent mechanics and money!
I have a 2001 honda accord, 2 years ago the SRS light came on and stayed on. I took the car to the dealer and they charged me $118.00 to reset it. This year, september 2008 the light came on again and has stayed on. It is a known problem with honda dealer , yet they will not cover the cost of getting this fixed. Now my passenger airbag will not deploy. I have seen many complaints about this same problem. It should be covered by the manufacturer, obviously it is a defect.
After starting my 2001 honda accord the SRS light came on and will not stay off. This light indicates that the air bags will not deploy in a major collision. I went to my dealer and spoke with the maintenance supervisor and he indicated that this was a very common problem with this model of automobile. He also said that honda does not have a recall or extended warranty for this problem. Reading the internet chat rooms shows that there are hundreds of people with this same problem. In fact many owners indicated that after they were involved in a collision their airbags never did deploy even after the SRS light was reset by their dealer. The cost of the repair, for me, will be from $1000 to $1500. I am a senior citizen and cannot afford to have this repaired at this time. I understand that the seat belts have a lifetime warranty but not the airbags. I feel the airbags should be treated the same as the seat belts and have the same warranty. At the very least honda should recognize this problem they have with this model and give the owners an extended warranty to cover these repairs. This is a major problem and should be addressed as there are many owners that are driving these defective honda accords and if involved in a collision their honda's airbags will not inflate. Please look into this and have honda take responsibility for this problem and give some relief to all the owners of this model automobile.
Several months ago the SRS light came on in my 2001 honda accord for no reason. I was not in an accident and there were no other reasons for the light to come on. Now I don't have airbags so I hope that I am not in an accident in the future. I was told it would cost about $800 to fix this problem.
