Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Airbag light is on and caused a failed safety inspection. Dealer told me the SRS unit/controller/module needed to be replaced and will cost ~ $1k even though there is a bulletin (TSB 20-015) that a Honda representative said covers the problem. The Honda rep told this to the dealership Service Director on the phone with me on the phone with them, but now the dealership is telling me it isn't covered and they can't get the part, so this seems like an important safety issue - particularly if the part isn't available, suggesting many others are having the same problem - so maybe a recall is needed for this? I need to pass safety inspection in Virginia, but can't, and I'm not sure what to do. Thanks for any help. I called, but waited on hold for a long time and was then disconnected. Would like to hear back by email and phone call: [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Passengers air bag light is always on
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda accord. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 19v501000 (air bags); however, the part for the recall repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact called nalley honda (4197 jonesboro rd, union city, ga 30291) where the seat belt was removed for the repair; however, the part for the air bag repair was unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified. The contact also stated that the air bag warning indicator was illuminated. The approximate failure mileage was 168,000.
The SRS unit and seat belt locking unit needs to be replaced. The SRS unit and seat belt locking unit that locks the seat belt in place when it's in an accident are given codes in my 2007 honda accord and needs to be replaced. There have been 8 recalls on the 2007 honda accords regarding the air bags. There were recalls on the 2008 - 2009 honda accords SRS unit where honda did replace the SRS units for free. This 2007 honda accord was purchase in july of 2007 and by july of any year the next years models are already out on the car lots as well. Since 2008 honda accords were already on the lots there is a chance that the same SRS unit that was recalled in the 2008 - 2009 honda accords could be in my 2007 accord. The honda service guy working my ticket asked when was the car in a front end collision. My car has never been in a front end car collision. He said that this is usually when these codes happen. The codes mean that the airbags have been deployed which they have not. My mother and I have been the only owners and I have been the only driver. Honda of american said "at some point and time the owner has to take responsibility for repairs". I have for all repairs that have been done to the car, but with all the recalls and them stating "they wouldn't have replaced airbags in a car when the airbags had no chance of deploying". That is exactly the case in this instance. The airbag codes were displayed and diagnosed before the airbags were replace with this last recall. As long as the check airbag light is displayed the airbags will not deploy. The honda service tech said this. Honda states "if they get enough complaints and come to the conclusion that the parts are defective then they will reimburse me". How many complaints do you have to have before there there is an investigation to see if the parts are defective.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda accord. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle began hesitating. When the accelerator pedal was depressed, the vehicle failed to move forward. In addition, the check engine and air bag warning indicators illuminated and the steering wheel made an abnormal noise. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with the federal safety agency campaign number: 12v222000 (steering) and the federal safety agency campaign number: 11v395000 (power train). The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure could not be duplicated. The contact called braman honda of palm beach (located at 5200 lake worth rd, greenacres, fl 33463, (561) 790-8570) and notified them of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 142,894.
My son and his friend were both wearing their seatbelts and they ran the light on yellow since it was not safe to stop because of the speed he was going. Which anything above 35 makes it unsafe. And of course the person took off being careless herself. And of course an accident occurred, but the honda airbags did not deployed and the seatbelts became loose so both my son & his friend had to brace themselves from the impact of the accident. Because the seatbelts became loose and now they don't work at all and the airbag light is on. As if the airbags were suppose to deployed and never did.
Takata recall my 2007 honda accord airbag light has been on for the past 3 weeks, it stays, on the whole time I'm driving. Someone was fatally injured by the shrapnel a couple weeks ago when the airbag deployed, this make me extremely nervous. I'm not sure what my next step should be. This is the only vehicle that I have. I paid this car off last year. I cannot afford another car payment or a rental car at this time. If someone could get back to me and with information and or suggestions as to what I should do. I did submit a claim for the takata class action lawsuit but I'm not sure how long I will have to wait before I will know the outcome. I would appreciate it if someone would contact me as soon as possible regarding this urgent matter. I can provide photos if needed.
Takata recall-my driver & passenger side airbags were replaced due to recall. As I was driving about 1-2 weeks ago, my airbag light came on for no reason. I had nobody in the car with me and the dash stated my passenger airbag was off. I assume it stays off unless I have a passenger weighing x amount of lbs. Concerned.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda accord. The contact stated that another vehicle crashed into the front passenger side of her vehicle while making a left turn. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The air bag indicator illuminated. The vehicle was towed to an auto shop where it was diagnosed, but the contact could not provide the diagnosis information. The vehicle was repaired. The contact called honda of new rochelle at (888) 905-3767 (located at 25 e main st, new rochelle, ny 10801) where an appointment was scheduled. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 190,000.
Passenger airbag light flickering on and off, after some time driving stays lit on off under passenger airbag signal. The car was in motion on a city street for more than 10 minutes.
My vehicle airbag light turned on twice within the last 5 months. Each time it stayed on when I started my car. After a quick internet research I learned that with the airbag light on my airbags would not deployed if I were in an car accident. The first time it happened I took it into a honda service center for testing. I was told that I needed to replace my battery because the low voltage could be the cause. After replacing the battery the light turned off and everything was good. Months later, the airbag light turned on again. I took my car to another honda service center and had it tested once again. This time I was told that my SRS control unit needed to be replace due to corrosion/old age. After researching this further, I found that there is a recall on the SRS control unit for honda vehicles. Unfortunately, this recall excluded my particular year. I understand that this is public safety issue and I believe that honda should expand this particular recall to other years. Others may not be as proactive in taking their vehicle in for testing or paying for the test and unit out of pocket. This is a huge safety issue that needs to be review before someone outside the recall classification gets injure or worse.
