My 2005 accord had an illuminated supplemental restraint system (SRS) light. The honda dealer diagnosed it down to a broken driver seat sensor harness; fault codes 71-10 (drivers seat pos sensor) and a2-10 (faulty pwr supply). This condition is exactly the same as described in honda service bulletin 07-002, "safety recall: driver's seat position sensor harness replacement." just as described in the bulletin, the wires on the harness become damaged and in fact were completely broken away from the plug end. However, my VIN falls outside the affected VIN's listed in the service bulletin and is not covered under this action. Furthermore, I feel the dealer charged more than necessary for the repair: they charged 1.96 hrs of labor (at $97.00/hr), or $190.00, and $15.20 for the part totaling $205.20. In comparison, the service bulletin calls for 0.6 hrs of labor, which when added to the part cost would have totaled $73.40. Bottom line: honda did not provide the proper fix for damaged driver's seat position harness's in later production vins. Since they continue to cause the same unsafe condition, honda must be compelled to increase the scope of this recall.

Car was running fine. No problems. All of a sudden the airbag light came on. I stopped the car and checked the seat on the passenger side and seat belts trying to figure out why it was on. I got back into the car and continued home. When slowing to turn into driveway a loud banging noise occurred. The car was put in park and immediately started rolling backwards. This could have been a hazard if a car had been passing by or if this had happened in busy traffic. I could have rolled back and hurt someone, hurt myself or rolled back into oncoming traffic. Also if someone had been walking behind the car and gotten ran over and killed. Anyway it was later towed to a dealer and diagnostics ran. The dealer informed me that I needed a new transmission. That is not right. My car was like new with a little over 68 thousand miles on it. I still owe on it and purchased it brand new. Honda should be responsible for this. Since this has happened to me and I have begun to research this I found a ton of recalls for this same problem, yet I am told my car is a 6 cylinder and is not under recall. Please help. I was told it would cost me 4400 plus $ to replace the transmission. Honda should be responsible for this cost.
Airbag light appears on the dadshboard intermittently. It only comes on if I start the car and do not have my seatbelt on. If my seatbelt is on, the light does not come on. Further, while driving and the light is not on, the moment I take my seatbelt off, while the car is running, the airbag light comes on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord exl. While driving approximately 40 MPH, the air bag warning indicator illuminated on the instrument panel intermittently. The failure progressed with the continuous illumination occurring whenever the engine was in operation. The warning light illuminated until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis who detected the seat position sensor wiring harness was faulty and recommended replacement. There was a recall related to the defect under the federal safety agency campaign id number: 07v001000 (air bags: frontal: sensor/control module). The VIN was not included in the recall and the vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact stated that the seat belt sensor was malfunctioning, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate.

I was driving doing about 35 MPH and out of no where I hear this big pop! The side airbags on the driver side and in the back had deployed. No one hit me nor did I run over anything in the street.there was no type of impact. The airbag deployed for no reason. I reported it to honda dealership as soon as I got home. They ask me to bring the vehicle in the next day. The dealer ship and honda america inspected the vehicle their determination was that there was underbody damage. I couldn't believe what they showed me. It was a scratch, like someone took a screwdriver or something and scratched the vehicle. This was there reason for deployment. Long story short they would not fix the vehicle because they felt it wasn't their fault. I am very disappointed with honda and how this was handled. Honda states they are so big on safety for their customers but yet they will not fix vehicles that have defective parts that should be on a recall list, and now I have a vehicle with no side airbags and no seat belt. Where is the safety concern?? What if this would have cause and accident where some one was injury, my youngest daughter was in the car with me when this airbag deployed for no reason. Thank god it didn't cause me to hit another vehicle. I have done my own research and found out that this same incident has happened to several other customers. Clearly there is a malfunction in this part/sensor. When is honda going to take some responsibility and keep their customers safe and do the right thing!!! I will continue to pursue this because I know exactly what happen and it was not cause by something hitting underneath my vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact was driving approximately 30 MPH when the air bag light warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where but not diagnosed for the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure persisted. The failure mileage was 85,000 and the current mileage was 115,000. The VIN was unavailable.
The seat position sensor (sps) wiring harness in my 2005 honda accord is broken causing the air bag warning light to be illuminated and the sps to fail. Please note that this symptom is identical to that addressed by recall number: 07v001000, which applied to certain 2004 and 2005 honda accords. However, my VIN number is not included in the honda recall. I believe that the omission of my 2005 honda accord's VIN from recall number 07v001000 is in error and should be corrected. The honda dealer changed an initial $95.07 for diagnosing the problem, and has offered to install a new wiring harness at my expense. At this time no action has been taken. The faulty wiring harness is still installed and the air bag light is still illuminated and the sps is still in failure mode.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 honda accord. The contact was traveling between 40-50 MPH when a vehicle abruptly turned left in front of the driver. The driver was unable to stop his vehicle in time and proceeded to crash into a second vehicle. The air bags only partially deployed. The driver was severely injured and transported to a trauma center. A police report was available. The driver sustained a broken wrist, severed thumb and severe bodily contusions in the upper torso. The manufacturer was not contacted and the failure had not been investigated by the manufacturer. The contact was handling the crash through the her insurance company. The failure and current mileages were 45,200.
Airbag indicator light on 2005 honda accord came on for no reason. Honda charged me $110 to diagnose the problem and said the driver side curtain airbag was malfunctioning. They said it was $985 to replace and that airbags were not covered under the lifetime warranty like seatbelts were. Dealership suggested I speak with honda customer service because they too were surprised it wasn't covered. Honda customer service said there was no way they would pay for it. I was also told that because the indicator light remains on, that my car would probably not pass state inspection. Now I am out the $110 I paid to first get this information, and have a car that may not pass state inspection due to a malfunctioning airbag that honda does not have an explanation for.
The airbag light illuminated on my 2005 honda accord. Took to dealer who said it was the driver seat module and would cost $300. Checked previous honda recalls and the same complaint was recalled for 81000 cars but mine wasn't listed (recall 07v001000 there are a few other complaints indicating the same problem and as this is an important safety issue, perhaps honda should extend its recall to include my vehicle. I asked honda customer service when my vehicle was manufactured (to determine if the date was around the period when the other cars were recalled) but they said they didn't have that info.
The seat belts in the 2005 honda accord hybrid provided no safety in a collision. The airbags also failed to deploy in the same collision. I was the passenger in the front seat of a 2005 honda accord hybrid when we rear ended a volvo s-80. The volvo then struck an altima. The accord struck the volvo with considerable force. The volvo's trunk was damaged and would not open. The structural bar in the accord protecting the radiator was also bend beyond repair. I had the passenger seat as far back as it would go and was wearing my seat belt. During the collision my knees struck the front dash and swelled. The driver also suffered severe knee pain mostly likely from striking her knees against the dash or steering column. I believe the airbags should have deployed. Even if the bags did not deploy then the seat belts should have held. The seat belts in the 2005 honda accord hybrid provided no safety in a collision.
The airbag warning light on my 2005 honda accord ex-l was illuminated. I took the vehicle to my honda dealer and they replaced the wiring subharness. This was the same symptom, issue and resolution as the federal safety agency campaign #06e064000. My vehicle was not in the included in the VIN numbers recalled per that campaign and I feel that honda didn't resolve the manufacturing defect by the time my vehicle was produced. In other words, I don't think honda recalled all vehicles affected.
