Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
My vehicle went in for airbag recall repair in august at bay ridge honda in brooklyn new york and when I got it back a airbag light started showing on my dashboard I tried calling the dealership and got brushed away and they kept hanging up on me so I have a appointment to go back in on december 16 but they keep telling me to pay 150 dollars to figure out the problem my mechanic checked it for me and said it was for the passenger air bag that they changed plus the driver side one that I never had issues with since I bought the car. Never been in a accident either.
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to tampa honda (11000 n. Florida ave, tampa, fl 33612; (813) 518-6476) and was informed that the SRS failed and needed to be replaced. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously included in recall campaigns regarding the air bag inflator and the SRS.

Air bag indicator constantly showing. Safety issues & recalls warning air bag may explode dealer unable to fix the problem . It's a glinch?
Srs light on
Takata recall. Took my honda to get recall done. Got call back that said the recall was done but the airbag light was permanently on due to the recall replacement. They said it was because new part they made did not sync with my seats because they are 'after market' seats?! My honda was bought brand new by my grandfather at breakaway honda in greenville south carolina, and the seats in it are the same ones that came with it when drove off the lot! I now live in north a carolina and crown honda of durham nc is refusing to due anything about it saying it's not their problem, and that I need to take it up with the sc honda location. Take my car to get a recall done and got a car back with airbags that no longer work?! Doesn't make sense it me. I now have a car less safe than before.
Takata recall: I received a "SRS ecu failure" recall notice and contacted a honda dealership for support. They told me to disregard the recall. I went to a second dealership and they replaced one part but had to "order" another. That second part still has not been replaced and it has been over a year now. I have not received a service update or appointment. Is my car safe?
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 honda accord. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated, which was a safety concern. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v056000 (air bags). The dealer (hendrick honda bradenton, 5515 14th st w, bradenton, fl) was contacted and refused to perform the recall repair due to the amount of miles on the vehicle. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was 199,500. The VIN was unknown.
Sun visor falls down, obscuring vision. Bought car brand new, visor started falling down within first 4 months of owning. Repeatedly reported to dealership, was always blown-off as "that's not covered and nothing we can do about it". Have inquired at different dealers; unable to get rectified. This is a safety issue. The dealer also blew me off when I kept reporting to them something was wrong w/brakes, from day one --as well as I repeatedly tried to get them to explain and address why my airbag light kept going off and on intermittently from day one. Both of those issues turned into recalls! But still cannot get anyone to listen to me that the sunvisor constantly falling- again, from almost day one - is in fact, a safety issue, or even get them to fix this!
Takata recall and SRS safety went to the autoairbagsettlement.com website and unable to find any links to file a claim online, this has been repaired but still want t be a part of it. The other recall still has no remedy at this time and judging from the text on the federal safety agency recall #16v‑056 it sounds serious. Please help me to remedy this situation. Thanks,
My airbag light remained on so I got a diagnostic test from pohanka honda. This occurred before the SRS recall was issued. Honda said I needed to replace my SRS unit along with my gauge control module because they didn't communicate with one another. Honda was going to complete the repair & labor for $1,200. I didn't have the money but was concerned for my family safety so I ordered the parts and got it repaired outside the dealership. Here's the issue, I was seeking reimbursement for parts ($500) but honda manufacture only willing to reimburse me for just the SRS unit ($200) and not the gauge control module ($300). I believe the recall should also cover the gauge control module since the code that was discovered by the honda technician revealed the gauge control module had to be replaced as well. Since I followed guidance by pohanka honda, I'm without $300 because the recall only covered the SRS unit. If pohanka honda would have completed the repair for $1,200, honda manufacture would have reimbursed me for $1,200. I believe I'm being penalized because the gauge control module isn't covered under the recall.
