After fixing takata air bag recall for honda accord 2008 sedan, SRS air bag light started coming on and stays on even after the car is in drive mode. Gillman honda (sam houston pkwy, houston tx) wants to charge for detection and fixing of the issue. I have written about 2 weeks ago to honda motors america to address this issue since this is a "safety" issue but they have not responded yet. I request the federal safety agency to investigate since so many honda cars have "SRS light come on" issues. In many cases as I have read on online forums and blogs the detection is 1. Driver side wire harness problem 2. Driver side seat belt buckle sensor. Honda motors should cover this issue as a part of lifetime warranty and a safety recall should be issued immediately on honda cars with such know problems.

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
