Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
The left passenger seatbelt will not retract - supposed to be a lifetime warranty and as a result airbag indicator light is on, so I take it to the dealer and they tell me seatbelts are on back order and they said it could be months or even years before I get a seatbelt and there is no ETA for it to arrive. So now, I have to drive the vehicle with no seatbelt and non-working airbags risking tickets or worse loss of life. This is unacceptable. What is the point of a lifetime warranty .
The passenger air bag indicator light stays illuminated. The car has been taken to several different mechanics who temporarily are able to make the light go away but that say that this is an issue they have seen with different 2006 Honda Accords and the it is a defective factory sensor. Tony Honda in Oahu HI has said that because they do not show a recall for this vehicle, it would be an out of pocket cost. It seems that this is a safety issue because it is unsure whether there is a problem with the airbag itself and not just the sensor. Please advise
I have had the airbags checked and replaced at brandon honda and I got an airbag light that won't go off and am worried about maybe side airbag problems and won't get a call back from brandon honda in birmingham alabama to get it checked out or repaired the vehicle has been in operation.
Contacted honda north america & leith honda of raleigh nc to fix SRS supplemental restraint system on honda accord. They said I have to pay $138.00 diagnostic fee and $475.00 for a part that is in the steering wheel connected to the air bag system. Vehicle was already serviced by leith honda of raleigh and the red light came back on while driving out of leith honda of raleigh parking lot. What is even worse is that the 2006 honda accord was being serviced today 02/07/2020 at the leith honda of raleigh dealership for an airbag recall. Please force them to do the right thing and fix the whole system not just random parts. They know what the problem is & then tried to charge my wife another diagnostic fee to make extra money (very dishonest). When I called honda north america they just said it was between myself & leith honda of raleigh. Very disappointed in both honda north america & especially leith honda of raleigh for trying to take advantage of a female. This is a ridiculous situation and a huge safety concern. I have know way to know if my airbag will function in an emergency. Both leith honda of raleigh and honda north america need to help people. Not everyone can spend $600.00 on a car that is worth only about $1,00.00 they did the minimum required work of the airbag recall and let her go-like if they don't talk about the SRS problem it will just go away. How do they sleep at night.
Air bag light is on. 71-10 permanent fault code; open circuit in drivers seat position sensor. Air bag system is disabled because of this.
