2001 accord lx has 59,000 miles on it. Two weeks ago the SRS light came on for no reason. Did some research and discovered this is a very common problem with these cars. The airbags will not deploy while this light is on. Serious safety issue .
2001 Honda Accord airbags complaints
Page 9 of 15: complaints 221 to 250 of 407, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I have had my 2001 honda accord for quite a few years. Every now and then, it seems if I put something on the passenger seat or just starting and driving off the SRS light comes on. I have taken it to the dealership for resets quite a few times but the problem still occurs. Was there ever a recall for the SRS since it will not deploy air bags while the light is on? Can I get this fixed through a recall or do I need to pay for the negligence by honda manufacturer? Thank you
Re: the federal safety agency action no: pe05043 (closed investigation) SRS unit light remains on indicating that passenger side air bag will not work. Opds unit has was previously replaced. The SRS problem is caused by a faulty wiring harness, and honda wants to charge me $450 to replace it. Shouldn't honda pay for this in light of your prior investigation as well as the high safety risk? I notified honda corporate two weeks ago - no response. Dealer cannot help because it is a corporate decision.
I own 2 honda (accord ex 1996, accord lx 2001) on both of them and for no obvious reason the SRS (airbag) light started coming on and off sporadically until lately stated on for ever. The airbag on both cars has never been deployed. The dealer charge $90 per vehicle just for diagnosing the problem.
Srs light on. Failed side air bag sensor. Had sensor replaced august 1, 2008 at the honda dealer and at my expense. In may of 2006 the SRS light was on and the control module was replaced by the dealer under warranty. Why isn't the entire air bag system of sensors and controllers covered by warranty rather than just the front air bags? Seems like honda,s SRS system has significant problems with failed control units and sensors.
Srs light (supplemental safety restraints...air bags) stays on all the time on my 2001 honda accord. Air bags should be warranted for life of car, I would think, but honda dealers keep blowing me off. I see on internet that many other 2001 hondas have had same problem.
Srs light came on for no reason.
Srs light came up recently. Diagnostics test showed that there is some issue with the airbags and they won't be deployed correctly. So I have to replace them and its not covered by honda warranty. I have to replace this for safety reasons and this is going to cost me a lot of money.
2001 honda accord SRS light remains on. Service dept. Said car is "safe" to drive. "good news is that the airbags won't deploy when you are driving around. The bad news is that the airbags won't deploy in an accident." my research shows that honda is not concerned about consumers with this issue. There is no type of warranty coverage and it is a very expensive fix with marginal results (likely to recur). I should think that seat belts and airbags would have a lifetime warranty.
My SRS light keeps coming on. Honda said it will cost $1500 to replace. ( not covered under warranty ) they indicated that in a crash the drivers side airbag will not deploy.
Owner of a 2001 honda accord with only 20,000+ mileage. A week after an annual inspection, the SRS light came on and has remained so. Dealer indicated a $90 diagnostic charge would be required and only waved if a part was found to be defective. I researched this issue on the federal safety agency website and found this problem had been investigated in recent years after a significant number of owner complaints. I also found some revealing correspondence between the federal safety agency and honda regarding continuing problems with the SRS light issue and although SRS light warnings on some vehicles continued to occur repeatedly after addressing the dtc 15-3 code, the federal safety agency closed its #pe05043 investigation. I assumed this action was taken after it was determined that a safety issue was not involved and honda agreed to extend the warranty on SRS illumination and opds issues to 10 years or 150,000 miles. I never received a notification letter from honda indicating a no cost replacement of the opds unit. My concern is, does the dealer have the right to charge a diagnostic fee ($90) if honda extended the warranty and the history of issues involved in this frequently defective SRS warning light apparently remain unresolved.
I have had my 2001 honda accord for about 7 years and only recently had problems with it. First, my alarm system has been malfunctioning. The alarm will go off every so often for no reason, especially at night disturbing the neighborhood. I have to go run to the window to try to turn off the alarm. I took it to the dealer to have a $100 diagnostic test only to tell me that my alarm system was the problem (something I already knew), and it would cost another $300 to fix. Second, the SRS light came on and will not come off. I took my car to the dealer and it would cost $100 for a diagnostic test, which will probably tell me what I already know, and probably cost another couple hundred to fix. I have researched this problem and have found many complaints regarding this issue. This problem needs to be addressed, especially for the safety of the consumers. There should be a recall for this car.
My SRS light has been on since approximately june 2006. I haven't had any problems getting an inspection during this time until now. I took my car in to have it inspected and failed due to SRS light. I took it to the dealership that I bought it from in september of 2003 and they said it would cost $773.00 to repair the SRS control module. They charged me $110.00 for the diagnosis, which would go to the cost of repairs if I decided to have it done. Honda has issued tsb's on this issue, but it does not cover my VIN number nor the part that needs to be replaced. Something is terribly wrong with honda's SRS performance as I have seen thousands of complaints on various websites regarding different problems with the SRS light. This is a severely dangerous problem that needs to be resolved.
Srs light stays on, indicating that the driver airbag is not operational. Honda refuses to correct the situation at their cost.
2001 honda accord SRS dash light comes on, will not go off. This renders the SRS inoperable in the event of a frontal collision according to manufacturer. This is a common problem with these 2001 honda models.
The SRS light came on in my 2001 honda accord. Nothing prompted it. It means the airbags won't work in an accident. Apparently it is a common problem and costs anywhere form $600-1300 to fix.
On my 2001 honda accord ex SRS light on after small accident, this is not covered via my insurance nor is it covered via honda. Honda states that it will only repair the passenger side portion. How does this help if I am in an another more serious accident. To add I am a low income person and spending $2000 and 105 to have nothing done is not acceptable.
Srs light keeps coming on.
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 honda accord. The contact noticed that the air bag light would remain illuminated everytime he started the vehicle. The dealer stated that he would have to pay $89 for a diagnostic. The current mileage was 177,000 and failure mileage was 167,000. Updated 03-04-08 *bf the consumer stated there was a recall for the air bags, but it was only good for up to a 160,000 miles.
The supplemental restraint system (SRS) light remains on while the vehicle is in operation, which supposedly indicates that there is a problem with the airbags or seatbelts. As I understand it, this is a common problem with this model of car.
Srs light illuminated for no apparent reason. Have had the light reset and it came on soon thereafter. Have read numerous complaints with similar descriptions and no resulting action or remedy from manufacturer. This should be unacceptable as this is safety equipment and could potentially threaten the lives of driver and occupants.
In april 2001, I purchased new honda accord ex from its dealer, planethonda in union, nj. The car had been sore for the last three years. The car was recalled because of faulty transmission. The faulty transmission affected the engine and brakes. Not only, honda should have replaced the faulty transmission, but also the engine should have been replaced. The faulty transmission made the car run in the low gear, damaged the engine. My car engine is burning more motor oil and I have to add one quart of oil for every 700-800 miles. I also had to replace the brakes, rotor/drum,brake shoe pads every 6-8 months because of faulty transmission. My car has the side air bag and ABS lights on since 30000 miles. I was advised by the federal safety agency to send the complaint to the federal safety agency. Please forward the copy of the complaint to the appropriate department, so that they can look into the matter. Thanks....... Ashok kumar
Since I purchased my car from honda in 11/2001. My SRS light has been on repeatedly throughout the years. I would inform honda every time I went in for a service or oil change. They would adjust the light and it would come on weeks later. I finally had the SRS light serviced by honda. Currently the SRS light is on again.
The SRS light came up for no reasons on my 2001 honda accord. It came on after the 3 year warranty was over. I had brought it back to dealership and they had reset it. However, the light came back within a week. I hope this complaint will trigger a recall from honda as it seems there are many people complaining the same thing!!!! I don't want to shell out $$$$ to fix something that was a defect in the first place!
I own a 2001 honda accord ex v6 vehicle. I have had the SRS light come on since the last couple of days. Having gone through the list of complaints registered with the federal safety agency, I am really concerned with this issue. My vehicle had run a little more than 103,000 miles and I believe it still falls under the free opds replacement period as stated by the federal safety agency authority. Please let me know how this problem is to be resolved.
The SRS light stays lit on my 2001 honda accord. Airbags may not deploy. Honda should fix this since it is manufacturer fault.
On 26th october 2007, friday, it was raining heavily in new jersey. When I arrived at work, the car was fine. When I started back home, the vehicle's SRS light was permanently on. It still is after 4 days. Researching, I found out that this is a common occurrence in this model year of this vehicle and is very expensive to fix. Kindly take action to make sure this isn't an expensive repair for thousands of consumers given the popularity of this vehicle model. Thank you. Please see this page - http://www.carcomplaints.com/honda/accord/2001/seat_belts_air_bags/srs_light_keeps_coming_on.shtml for tales of similar failure.
Honda accord 2001 lx, 40000 miles. 1. Since two months ago, SRS light is constantly on. 2. I understand that while SRS light is 'on', driver airbag will not deploy. 3. I was told by the honda dealership that this car is not covered under an extended warranty and that I will be responsible for inspection and repair of this problem. I found out that this particular problem is a common one among honda owners. It should not cost owners to inspect and repair a defect that honda is responsible for (and already aware).
I have a 2001 honda accord ex v6 and a 2003 honda pilot. Both vehicles have the SRS light on all the time. I have been told that hand radio interference and cell phones can trigger the SRS light to go on making the SRS inoperable. My wife carries a hand radio and drives both vehicles. We both have cell phones. I have researched this and this seems to be a big problem with honda. I believe that honda should repair this at no cost to me.
Srs light is on. I have been told honda accord 2001 will activate the SRS light by the use of cell phone or laptop preventing the air bags from deploying in case of a accident. I the light is on the system will not respond in case of a accident. I consider this a safety issue between dead y live. A recall should be done by honda to correct all cars affected. I really don't have $700.00 dollars to get this fix.
