My airbag light stays on and the alarm doesn't go off when the seat belt isn't put on. I just began to have trouble starting the vehicle. Now I can't start it and I've had to have it towed to my home.

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.

While driving, the side curtain airbag deployed with out there being any collision.
There was a premature failure of the SRS module in our 2008 honda accord which, according to a local honda representative, renders the airbags useless in a crash or can cause premature deployment. At the time, my wife was pregnant and drove 100 miles roundtrip (highway) daily to work. I needed this part addressed asap. Multiple honda dealerships refused to service the vehicle in a timely fashion (inside a 2 week window), would not offer a complementary vehicle, and insisted on charging a diagnostics fee when I had already performed the diagnostics through work and associated partnerships (fleet management provider and maintenance vendors). Honda refused to warranty the part and I had to pay out of pocket close to $500 for parts and labor. Seems silly as this was a safety related service. *tr....updated 12/15/15 *bf updated 7/06/17

Riding down the road and my 12 year old daughter got tangled in the seat belt. We pulled into a gas station and tried to get the seat belt to release- it would not release. It kept eating any slack we gave it and kept tightening on her. It got to the point where she, nor I (because of the position) could hold her body weight up any more- it was starting to cut into her side. I yelled can anyone help we need to cut a seat belt and thank goodness a young man came over and was able to cut the belt off. I then took the car to the honda dealer who replaced the belt and filed a complaint with honda about the seat belt- they took the complaint- however they refused to tell me anything else. A supervisior from honda customer service- stated that the seat belt would be looked into and that I should hear if it was malfunctioning or what came of the inspection of why the belt locked up. I called today 3/23 to follow up with honda spoke to another supervisior - he told me that the part was upstairs in a box and that they do not open or touch the belt. That because it was under warranty they just keep it, he said he would look into it and contact me...I wait ... My issue is why did this happen- I know seatbelts are to protect us but this was dangerous- there was no way to release the belt other then cutting it. Safety issue especially for children.
The warning light on the dashboard panel is warning that the passenger airbag as deployed. At the same time the "fasten seatbelt" warning stopped working and the seal around the passenger window is loose. Coincidentally, a relative also has a 2008 honda accord and the exact same things are happening. According to many internet entries, the same thing is happening to many 2008 honda accords. I cannot find information on a recall. It is a safety hazard, because some owners have reported the airbag deploying while driving.
My 2008 honda accord ex coupe is a nightmare. Trying to use the defroster while warming up car,blower motor kept losing power. Lights in and out of car are still flickering when you have the lights on and cooling fan comes on. Honda says all hondas do it. This is my fourth and this is the only one with this electrical issue. Honda is rude , and doesn't care. Besides pealing paint, bad drivers upholstry,the passenger seat will not stay still and hass a bead creaking sound. My selling dealer that told me not to come backs service manager told me I weigh too much. I am 245 lbs now. When we had our 04 and 06 I was 300 and it was fine. When you accelerate and decelerations seat moves. I have a spinal cord injury and today this caused it to hurt even more. If anyone would like to email me about what we should do with our expensive nightmares. We should all get a rally of our junkers together and block honda headquarters and we will call the news to televise it.
