The air bag light stays on constantly. I took it to the dealer, I was told that the control module would have to be replaced at a cost of $752.00. The car has 66,287 miles on it. The previous owner had a small rear end collision but the air bags did not deploy. I was told that some of the other parts of the safety system were covered repairs at no cost but the control sensor was not covered. I took the car to autonation honda in memphis, tn.
Driver traveling speed limit on interstate 40 outside kingman, az. Driver drifted off the road, over corrected, and struck a wooden post at the end of guardrail, causing car to leave the roadway. The air bags did not deploy, leading insurance investigators concerned. Insurance adjustors felt the car could be fixed until a large hole was discovered in the transmission. Concern to all was that air bags did not deploy.
With no impact or apparent reason the air bag light has come on. One honda dealer told me that no air bags would deploy if in an accident and another honda dealer told me that all the air bags would deploy in an accident. Both advised against fixing as very expensive to determine reason for light. I drive a lot and do not want to put myself or my family in danger. Please help

Our 2008 honda accord SRS indicator is on which alerts a potential problem with the airbag or seat belt tensioners per owner's manual. We took the car to honda dealer. It took them hours and charged us $157 but couldn't find the problem. They ended up suggesting either we replace SRS unit $603+tax, and if problem still present then replace the gauge control module $555+tax. Hereby we're reporting this issue and hope honda will recall the vehicle.

First incident was on 6/14/2015. I was driving on the highway as my engine light came on and the car started shaking. I pulled over and turned the car off because it smelled like smoke. As I tried to turn the vehicle back on it would not cut back on. The car had to get towed and repairs had to be done to the tune of $1,500.00. The battery, gasket, plugs & alternator had to be replaced. Second incident was on 7/17/2015. As I was making a left hand turn the car stalled & I was hit by another vehicle. All air bags deployed and burst. The right front wheel was pushed in.
The air bag sensor (driver side) light is on and honda refuses to determine the cause at their expense. Claims the car is not covered by the massive airbag recall. Although from us dot investigation they previously hide warranty issues from the public.

Air bag malfunction light illuminated on dash , making airbag system useless. Taken to dealer said the SRS computer was bad , had computer replaced at a cost of 430.69. Had to wait 4 days for parts because they were on backorder they must have a problem with these units, they should not go bad anyway, I think it is a defective part. I called honda customer assistance, they said basically it is out of the 3yr/360000 warranty and I am responsible for the safety equipment. I do not agree with this at all, seems to me they could care less about safety..updated 07/20/15
Pulled into subway sandwich shop, passenger got out of car shut door and passenger side air bags deployed.
I purchased my 2008 accord ex 4 door 10 months ago. Well 05/16/2015 I got out windows were down and closed my door and boom sounded like a gun shot my neighbors all came out the entire driver side curtain air bags deployed for no reason at all..now I am stuck with $7000 of damages ripped seat,air bags deployed hanging out and the dealership will not take no action saying its not a recall. This will be the last honda I purchase. It has 124k miles on it when this happened.
The air bag light on the dashboard came up around april 30th 2015 and in may 14th 2015 I took the vehicle to the honda service center in tallahassee. After a multiple points inspection the mechanic said that the "side curtain air bag" was non functional and replacement will cost $526.00. The vehicle has never been involved in any kind of accident or incident were the air bags could have been deployed. The mechanic was very careful not to say the air was defective. How a part that has never been used could be non functional? The honda people knows about this defect but want to pass the cost to the customer and when we can not afford that kind of sticker price they are putting our lives in risk.
My son was driving my car and did not make a turn and ran into a concrete block wall at about 50 MPH.

At a full stop passenger exited the vehicle and shut the passenger front door and the side curtain airbags and front passenger seat side airbag deployed. The force of the airbags being deployed also damaged the back passenger door weather strip that creates a seal when doors close. Headliner is damaged as well. Seat belt on front passenger side has been deployed and is non functioning.
I was in a car accident on feb. 20,2015 a complete crash in the front side of my honda accord 2008 (hood,bumper,2 front finders,head light) it was a horrible accident. The car is a total loss and the air bags didn't deploy, so I hit the steering wheel with my chest and the seat belt locked on my shoulders so nothing stopped me from being injured. How honda one of the biggest popular cars don't care about the life of their customers. ....I felt really bad of that. I'm seeking real help from u guys to support and keep the united states safe from this inhumanity manufacturing defects which killed and injured many people. They don't care about any of our complaints on their products when I called their products help customers service they said it's an old car that is absolutely ridiculous because they care only about the sale numbers and staying in the market what ever happened to the riders of this car. ....I expect real action towards honda america I will keep following and steps up until I get all my rights. Important note: my car checked with a team of engineer & technicians experienced only in the car safety&air bags and I do have all of this reports and pics. ....here what they said the front airbags sensors a&b sensed the crash and reported that to the control unit (car computer) and the airbag didn't deployed or exploded because there's a poor manufacturing or defect. U guys as a government agency responsible for our safety and safe production of this cars which kills and injuring the riders. Thank you for paying attention and waiting for your decision and I documented all the reports for this accident ....updated 05/07/15 *bf
2008 honda accord: air bag warning light sensor activated and stayed on. Local dealer in maryland advised the SRS module needs replacement ($700 cost). Dealer also stated they are "not sure if the air bags would work properly" without replacing the SRS module. Online research indicates numerous similar complaints involving SRS modules that needed replacement as a result of an activated air bag warning sensor for the 2008 honda accords (ie. Www.carcomplaints.com). Based on this recurring issue, this item is believes to be a faulty/defective part that originated from the manufacturing process and directly affects the operation of the airbag system. This also means that the safety of the vehicle passengers and operators are in jeopardy and potentially face serious injury or death. On april 3, 2015 I spoke with a honda USA representative and informed them of the recurring issue. I suggested a recall and conveyed my concern for the safety of all affected operators. They advised I was out of warranty....05-27-15

My fiance got out of my car and closed the passenger side door. As soon as the door slammed the curtain I heard a loud bag and looked over to find that the airbags went off in my car. Luckily no one was in the backseat or they would have been hit by the explosion.
Air bag light came on intermittently, then stayed on. When to honda dealer in yorba linda, ca. Dealer tested SRS system, no errors on diagnostic code. Only thing dealer said was to return and leave car for several days, that they had no idea what is causing this. Dealer also said would be at my expense if they found anything wrong and for time to investigate. I have not returned.
