My 'SRS" dashboard light came on for no reason on my 2002 honda accord lx. The light stays on. Per a honda web forum, the problem is either the air bags will not deploy or a defective air bag sensor. There are many complaints about this. This is a safety factor. I think there should be a recall on this.

I have a 2002 honda accord. I received a letter from honda more than one month (04/13/2010) back saying that there is a safety recall on the drivers airbag inflater. The notice said that I have to contact my local dealer and they will fix for free. I contacted the local dealer (team honda, baton rouge) the same day the letter was received. They said they will order the part and once they get it they will let me know and try to fix it. I have not heard anything back from them till now. It looks like honda nor the dealership is serious about it and is not ready to fix it inspite of the recall.

2002 honda accord v6 coupe -- SRS system light on the dash is on. This indicates that SRS system, including safety devices (seat belts and airbags) may not be working correctly. The problem was at first intermittent. I read that there was recall in regards to the seat belts and that was causing the problem. I took the car in to the honda dealer for servicing. He did not acknowledge the safety recall and said they would troubleshoot it and I have to pay for it. The light is solid on for past couple of years.

Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6) honda has recalled many 2002 accords for airbag problems. I have a 2002 accord. About six months ago, the air bag light came on and has remained on since then. Honda has told me my vehicle, [xxx] is not part of the airbag recall. I believe it should be part of the recall.
My 2002 honda accord v6 coupe has a problem with the safety restraint system. I brought it to dealer, and I was told that it was a seat belt buckle switch failure, and it would cost $200+ to fix, even though the owners manual states that all seat belt problems have a lifetime warranty. I refused to pay to have it fixed, and they sent me away, informing me that the SRS system is shut down. This is a big safety concern for me, and I feel they should fix the problem. I have read online that there are many people with the same problem I have on their accords. I would appreciate any help you could give me. Thank you
I purchased a 2002 honda accord coupe brand new in 2002. Almost immediately after the purchase the SRS indicator light began to indicate a problem with the airbag and restraint system. The indicator light illuminated intermittently at first but finally remained on constantly. I made the dealership aware of this and they refused to acknowledge a manufacturer problem and I had to pay for repairs in order to pass inspection. In the spring of 2006 honda finally acknowledge a problem and sent notification to owners. I was reimbursed for the money I had paid for repairs. Given the problems that had been reported they extended the warranty on this part for all owners. Unfortunately, a malfunction of the SRS happened again in 2006. Again I had to pay out of pocket for repairs. Again I submitted the information to honda and was reimbursed. Finally, in 2009 another problem with the SRS was discovered. I assumed all would be as before and that I could submit a claim and be reimbursed. Honda did pay to have the problem evaluated, but this time honda refused to acknowledge a problem and denied the claim for reimbursement. I have been in talks with honda over this issue since february 2009. I have appealed their denial as often as possible because it's obvious this part was defective from the beginning. Now, a recall of hondas involving the SRS system is under way, but again my claim is being denied. I am being told that the part in question is not defective. However, I think it's obvious that something is wrong with the entire SRS system in this model year honda and they should acknowledge this. Honda was late in acknowledging a problem from the beginning and it seems to me that this is more of them taking no responsibility for their error. I do hope other owners have come forward as I am to make honda take responsibility and to reimburse owners for the expenses they have incurred for honda's defective part.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 honda accord. The driver-side air bag did not deploy when he rear-ended another vehicle at 50 MPH. He sustained minor injuries. The passenger side air bag deployed and no occupant was present. A police report was available. The vehicle was towed from the scene and repaired; except for the driver side air bag. The honda manufacturer recommended that the air bag did not require replacement because the impact was not severe enough to merit deployment. The failure mileage was 70,000.
My 2002 honda accord had a failed SRS unit which honda repaired but issued me a bill stating it was not covered under the extended warranty. Stating a fail code of 15-3 (opds sensor) that is clearly covered under the 06-009 honda service bulletin. It cost me $85 for them to clear the code, stating that the cause was electrical interference like a cell phone or laptop. It is an important safety issue because if at anytime I should use an electrical device in my car there is a chance my air bags will not deploy. Honda should issue a recall not an extended warranty and fix the issue not cover it up.
My experience very similar to complaint #10311376. The SRS warning light came on and stayed on this 2002 american mfg. Accord with only 23,336 miles. I inquired whether the "recall" or extended warranty applied, and the service department told me it did not apply because the faulty part was a sensor in the seat belt latch, not in the module for the opds. Replacement will cost about $200. A part #04813-s84 - a33zc, buckle set, was ordered. The disconnected the sensor so the light won't glow until the sensor is fixed. They also said the air bag won't deploy if the SRS light is on.
Srs light stays on ,honda service told me air bag failure do to defective buckle switch which is not covered under warranty.(lifetime warranty on seat belts does not apply to buckle). 2002 honda accord.
Our vehicle was in the southbound left turn lane of a three lane road. (one north, one south left, one south straight). At fault vehicle coming from a side road on the passenger side or our vehicle collided with our vehicle. Impact to our vehicle was at the passenger door. Our vehicle was spun 180 degrees and stopped facing north in a painted divider area between the south bound left turn lane and the north bound lane. Side airbag of our vehicle did not deploy. After the accident the SRS fault indicator was on.
My 2002 honda accord has a failed SRS unit which honda will not repair under the extended warranty. It will cost me $580 to fix it. It affects safety because if I do not repair it my air bags will not deploy. There was a class action suit for opds so now they pay that but they will not pay for this.
Srs light came on and stays on continuously after my wife used upholstery cleaner on the front seats. I am told the airbag system is now disabled with the light on. Very poor design SRS system design!
2002 honda accord, 4 dr, manual trans, SRS light stays on after passenger seat got wet or two much humidity in car. First time, dealer reset under warranty, second time, they wanted $75 - found website www.geocities.com/myintegra96/SRS.html where directions are listed for resetting - it works, have done it on my car. Someone should force honda to correct this, though - love my honda, hate the light.
The SRS light has been staying on continuously on my 2002 honda accord. I was wondering if there was recall for this that I have not been notified about?
The SRS light on the dashboard on my 2002 honda accord coupe v6 has been on for a few years now, and it never goes off. A friend of mine, who used to work for honda as a mechanic, told me when that light comes on the airbag is disengaged, so if I get in an accident the airbags will not deploy.
This became a problem about 1 month after driving it off of the used car lot approximately 04/2005. The SRS indicator light is always on on the dashboard. This is not general wear and tear on the vehicle as I've never been in an accident and have never done anything to damage the airbags. I"ve attempted to call honda regarding this issue but they maintain it is not covered under warranty and they tried to deemphasize the importance of airbags. My local dealer says this could cost around 1500 dollars.
The SRS light has come on my 2002 v6 honda accord ex and based on dealerships that I have taken the vehicle to claims that is it a seatbelt issue that is not covered... Other forums that I have been to that have people that have similar problems or airbags not deploying properly and was linked to the SRS light. The SRS system is for the airbag system but dealerships are only asking for money for getting the car diagnosed but stating that the seatbelt and airbag system are not covered by honda. Please help me with my situation. My wife and child ride in the vehicle daily.
The SRS light on my dash board is on and won't go off. After some research I understand that this is a common problem in honda accords. The SRS light indicates that there is a problem with the seat belt or airbags. As far as I'm concerned both are very necessary in providing to all occupants in the vehicle.
The SRS airbag light is on my 2002 honda accord ex. My best friend has the same car and his is on also after 75k. Apparently this problem is in just every accord 98-02 and its not covered under the warranty because it is an electrical problem. It can cost from 400 to 1000 dollars to fix. This is crazy! They should recall these vehicles because clearly....if everyone I know with an accord has the same problem then its hondas problem not ours.
I suffered a severe head injury requiring 13 stitches to the side of my head/face. I was t-boned in the driver side door. My side air bag did not deploy resulting in this injury.
