The SRS system intermittently shows inactive (red SYS light on dash) after starting to drive. When I stop and turn the car off and then on again the light goes away. It has been happening for a couple months now, and Honda says my car was manufactured 2 months before the date of the SRS system recall.

My Honda accord keeps trying to turn off in the middle of the fwy and I know it’s due to the fuel pump, I have a misfire and all the warning lights came on. This is due to Honda having the fuel pump recalled that has damaged all the fuel injectors. It took them almost a year to get the recall parts and now myself and a ton of others are now having to pay for these fuel injectors to have a car that doesn't stall and die on the road. Honda should have taken care of this knowing it damaged the fuel injectors.also issue with air bad supplemental issues

SRS weight sensor failure-- triggers the dashboard warning light and disables my passenger airbag. My SRS light is on continuously. There is a current Honda recall for this issue for my make and model; however, do to my VIN not being listed, the Honda dealership wants to charge me a diagnostic fee plus the repair costs for the exact issue that the current recall is listed for. My VIN needs to be added. I should not have to come out of pocket to pay for this when I'm having the exact issue listed in the recall. My SRS light being on continuously is a MAJOR Safety concern because it disables the airbags--so in the event of an accident, the airbags will not deploy. I contacted Honda Corporate and they created a case--Case number 16432964 for this issue--but they told me it would be possibly months to get anything done and I would still have to pay out of pocket first. the federal safety agency RECALL NUMBER: 26V‑332 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION: 2018-22 Accord, Accord Hyb Seat Weight Sensor Recall Exp RECALL DATE: 05/21/2026 I have a service appointment on XXX @830AM at the Honda of Owings Mill Address: [XXX] Phone: [XXX] I am also experiencing the phantom braking issue (unintended activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System) when there is no object in sight.

While driving on a highway in snowy conditions, the vehicle experienced a brief loss of traction and slid across lanes. There was no confirmed collision with another vehicle, object, or obstacle. During this event, the passenger-side curtain airbag and passenger seat airbag deployed unexpectedly. There were no warning lights, messages, or prior symptoms indicating any issue with the airbag or safety systems before the incident. After the event, the vehicle was inspected by an authorized dealership. The inspection confirmed that the airbags had deployed; however, no diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) were found in the system, and no system malfunction was identified. The dealer suggested that “impact seems” to be present based on visual observation, but no specific collision or impact event was confirmed. I expressed concerns about the safety implications of this incident and requested further diagnostic evaluation to determine the specific cause of the airbag deployment. However, no additional diagnostic analysis was performed, and no definitive explanation was provided regarding the triggering event. The cause of the airbag deployment is UNKNOWN. The system activated without a clearly identified impact or recorded fault, raising concern about whether the airbag system may deploy under loss-of-traction conditions without a qualifying collision. This unexpected airbag deployment created a potential safety risk, as it occurred during vehicle instability and could have further impaired driver control or visibility. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request.
