My 2004 honda accord ex started illuminating the front airbag on my instrument panel. I was wondering if this a unsafe warning about my airbags. I have read other complaints and it seems no one was reimbursed for fixing the problem, that is listed as a recall. Do we have any other means of getting it fixed?

Over the past 10 months, starting approximately august 2009, the air light in my 2004 honda accord exl would intermittently come on then go back off. More recently, it comes on a daily basis. When I buckle my seatbelt and start the car it may appear and stay on the entire time while driving. Then when I stop and turn off the car then turn it back on, the light may or may not show up again. I found that there was a the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v001000 for 2004 honda accord. "component: air bags:frontal:sensor/control module summary: on certain vehicles, the seat position sensor (sps) detects the driver's seating position and adjusts the air bag inflation pressure accordingly. The wiring harness for the sps was attached to the seat frame in the wrong location and may have been over tightened. The sensor wire may break and cause the air bag warning light to be illuminated, and the sps to fail. Consequence: a failure of the sps causes the air bag system to default to full inflation pressure, regardless of the seat position. Full deployment of the driver's air bag can increase the risk of injury for smaller drivers in a frontal crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the seat position sensor wiring subharness. The recall will begin on or about february 8, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1‑800‑999‑1009." I contacted america honda motor and they said that this recall was on the 2004 accord lx and ex but not my exl model or my VIN number. I feel that my car is exhibiting the same issues and should have been included in the recall.
Airbag light comes on because of a faulty sensor under the driver's side seat. While you published recall information for this problem, honda is attempting to make me pay to fix the problem that they created. They stated that it is not listed for my VIN # however, if a recall exist for the problem my vehicle should be fixed free of charge.
2004 honda accord. The SRS warning light was coming on intermittently. When it came on, if I restarted car it usually disappeared. It started happening more frequently. I took it into honda, they diagnosed it as code 61-10 left front buckle failure and replaced it under lifetime warranty.
2004 honda accord has an intermittent problem with the drivers seat belt. A contact in the seat belt latch is causing the air bag system to malfunction. My local honda dealership stated that the air bag will not function with this problem. An internet search shows many honda?s with the same problem. This problem in the seat belt disables the air bag and also disables the seat belt warning light which warns the driver if the seat belt is not latched. The honda warranty states that ??any honda seat belt component that fails to function properly during normal use? Is covered by a lifetime warranty. However, honda is refusing to replace the seat belt latch under warranty.
Auto purchased new, never in an accident or damaged. Airbag light on, dealership replaced sensor free, replaced component at a cost to me for 300.00, airbag light still on. They now say the harness needs to be replaced at a cost to me of 300.00. Why is this not a manufacturing problem? No one can answer why I must pay to have this defect fixed.
I was hit by a truck from behind while I was waiting for oncoming cars to pass ( I had to turn left). The truck was going at least 50 m/h. My honda is totaled. None of the six airbags in the car deployed.
Red air bag light went on in aug of 2007, took to dealer was told the battery was bad and replaced it. I had a new battery put im the previous year (2006-july. I was then told that the SRS unit could be bad, but was not replaced. The light was then turned off. In aug of 2008 the light turned on again, I was told the SRS unit was bad again and this would cost 500.00 dollars to fix, it was no longer under warranty. I am feeling taken advantage of the situation. It is now july of 2009 and the light is on again. It seems just as soon as it gets hot the light goes on. I feel this is a safety hazard and that I should not be responsible for it. Could you please help me with this problem.

I have complained to honda about my transmission slipping, almost stalling out and then taking a huge jerk...it normally happens when letting up off my gas...this has been ongoing for almost 2 years; last night I had the ride of my life in only a matter of seconds! I was stopping by the bank to get cash from the atm; as I let up off my gas, the car did a hard jerk and jumped the sidewalk hitting the corner of the bank. I'm so glad no one was using the atm at this time. My airbag never deployed and my seat belt released for me to get out but now it is jammed and will not pull out enough for me to wear it! With all the complaints I've found that are very similar to mine going back as early as 2003, I really feel that honda should take these complaints more serious and that they should be held responsible for repairing the issue and any damages incurred due to the issue. I am a nervous wreck and I hope no one will experience what I just went through. There should be a thorough investigation requiring honda to fix this problem.
Air bags: frontal:sensor/control module indicator light came on suddenly on july 22, 2008. Subsequent examination by honda dealer service department revealed that the wiring harness for the sps which was attached to the seat frame was broken. Dealer denied any responsibility, as had honda america, despite the fact that a recall announcement for this very problem was issued 1/2/2007 (the federal safety agency campaign number: 07v001000). They claim that my car's VIN # was not part of the recall which makes me responsible for fixing the problem.
My air bag light has been coming on my honda accord for about 2 months. I took it to frank brown dealership. They kept it all day and did not find anything wrong with it. The light comes on continually. I am taking it back in tomorrow because you never know if air bag will go off. They charge $75 diagnostic fee even if they do not repair the problem.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 honda accord. The contact noticed that the air bag warning light would sporadically illuminate on the instrument control panel. On one occasion, the light remained on for approximately 20 minutes. The dealer stated that her vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency campaign id number 07v001000 (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module); therefore, the contact would be responsible for the repair costs. The manufacturer did not provide any assistance. The failure and current mileages were 57,000.
On may 14, 2008, I brought my 2004 honda accord ex to my local honda dealer because the SRS (airbag) indicator came on and remained on during operation. The dealer charged me $263 for replacing the wiring harness under the driver's seat. I believe that the repair should have been completed at no charge because there is an outstanding the federal safety agency recall (07v001000) that specifically refers to the SRS indicator and problems with the wiring harness for 2004 honda accord models. My service rep at the dealership said that the VIN on my car did not fall in the VIN range for the recall, but the documentation for the federal safety agency recall 07v001000 does not specify a range of vins for 2004 models, only for 2005 models. I am asking that the federal safety agency clarify and/or expand the VIN range for 2004 honda accords to include my vehicle and that the dealer reimburse me for the charges I have already paid.
On saturday 04/12/08 my wife and 12 month boy were involved in an accident , with another vehicle that failed to stop at a stop sign. My wife did not have time to really apply her brakes and had a head on collision with the drivers side of the other persons vehicle. My wife's airbags in our 04 honda accord did not deploy. My wife broke her bone in her left hand in four places and we are waiting to see if she will need bone pins to rectify her injury. My son "thank god" was uninjured. If they can repair our vehicle, we feel that our vehicle would be unsafe to operate on a daily basis due to the airbags not deploying in this accident. My wife and myself are self employed and are now both unable to work at this time due to her injury and the daily care of our 12 month old boy.

I need some help with a recall problem, I own a 2004 honda accord, and the airbag light came on about a month ago, there was a recalled from honda for this problem, but when I took it to the dealership, and I was told that this vehicle was not on the recall. They were refusing to fix it, they wanted me to pay for the sensor. Although it was the same sensor that was recalled by honda, I didn't understand why this vehicle being the same model and same year was not on the recall.

The SRS (supplemental restraint system) dash light comes on and will not go off until the part is replaced. The dealership told me the airbags would not operate or would not operate properly if a wreck occurred because the part was "bad". I was provided a rental car while the part was replaced. Previous research revealed a previous investigation into this problem on the 2001 honda accord. (why is the same defective part still being used?).
