2002 Honda Civic airbags complaints
Page 6 of 9: complaints 131 to 160 of 242, newest first, as owners wrote them.
On february 17, 2010, I had a front end collision. The driver side air bag didn't go off. Even though there was no one on the passanger side , only the passanger side air bag went off and I didn't get any protection on my chest from the steering wheel impact.
The SRS light has been on for approximately 6 months. The car was on the recall list for the airbag inflater, so I took the car on 03/20/10 to be repaired. While there, the recall was fixed, however I was told that there was a problem with the SRS control module which controls the deployment of the airbag system which is not covered by the recall. Therefore, the airbags will not deploy due to an internal failure on this control unit. Upon doing a search of this problem on the internet, it seems as though this is common to a number of 2001 - 2002 honda civics and accords...
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 honda civic. While driving 40 MPH she immediately had to apply the brakes which caused her to crash head first into the side of another vehicle. Both air bags deployed during the crash; however, the contact suffered a chest injury due to the pressure of the air bag. The vehicle has not been diagnosed and there were no prior warnings, the current and failure mileages were 90,000.
Srs warning light illuminated on my single-owner 2002 civic lx coupe at approximately 53,100 miles and has remained lit at current mileage of 53,249 for no apparent reason. After reading numerous complaints regarding faulty airbags, seatbelts, and general SRS system failures, I will attempt to have vehicle serviced at honda dealership using csc-10024565, as it states "the inspection is free of charge, even if there is not a problem with the opds control unit or the opds sensor and your vehicle is within the extended warranty time/mileage period (10 years/150,000 miles)" which it is. From information gathered from other complaints, evidently when the SRS warning light is illuminated, the airbags will not deploy in the event of a collision. After running my VIN on honda's recall website, www.ahm-ownerlink.com/seo/hondarecall.asp, I discovered my vehicle was not involved in the current airbag inflater recall campaign #q96, the federal safety agency #09v259000.
The SRS light is always on and the driver's seatbelt fails to engage properly. This is ongoing for at least 6 months. It often takes 6 to 8 tries to engage the seatbelt, then it becomes disengaged sometimes.
I was a driver in a 2002 honda civic lx. I was in a corner to corner crash. My airbag deployed. The airbag was overinflated. The car was totaled.
My husband and I own a 2002 honda civic si. Due to the recent noticed I realized we may have the same airbag and seat belt problem. Our SRS light has been permanently on for at least 6 months and our drivers side seat belt is sticking and not always locking in place. I would like to know if my complaint will be addressed, and if my car will be put on the recall list. I have contacted a honda dealer and they have told me my car is not on the list.
Consumer is looking for a recall on 2002 honda civic related to SRS system. The consumer stated the air bag light illuminated and wants to know what might be the cause.
I rearended someone and the passenger airbag deployed but not the driver side. My car is totaled and I went to the hospital because I couldn't breath.
The SRS light is always on. The light used to only come on when the car was started, but now the light does not shut off. The seat belts work fine, so I know that the light is not coming on because of a seat belt malfunction. I worry that it is an airbag problem.
Whenever the contact drives the vehicle he noticed that the SRS light had appeared on the dashboard. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealership and the contact did not notice any differences beforehand. The current and failure mileage was at 30000. Bml
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 honda civic. While driving at any speed, the SRS light illuminated on the dashboard. The vehicle was not diagnosed by the dealer. The current and failure mileages were 32,000.
The SRS sensor light for my 2002 honda civic has been on in my car since I purchased it in 2004. I taken the car to the dealership who told me that they do not know what the problem is. The SRS indicator light shows airbag.
I have a 2002 honda civic and the SRS light just turned on for no reason. Not sure what is causing the problem but it is a big concern for me that this problem has to do with the my personal safety since this affects the seat belt functioning and the vehicle air bags.
My SRS airbag light is on and according to the honda dealership it is something with my seat belt. This seems to be a pretty common problem among the 2002 honda civics. Honda should recall the cars and repair it for free. The seatbelt repair is free but the test to determine the reason my light is on is $70. This is safety related and should be brought to everyone's attention and honda needs to fix the situation without charging the consumers the $70 diagnostic fee.
The SRS light came on recently and did not go off. The diagnosis by honda costs $90 if the problem is not cover by the extended warranty, which deters people to take the risk to check the problem. Honda should cover the whole diagnosis cost because it is related to safety issue.
I purchased a 2002 honda civic. Within one week the SRS light came on and remains on. When I called the dealership I was told that it is a frequent problem however it is not covered under warranty. If this is a frequent problem then why did they not recall and replace the sensors or defective parts. Srs from what I was told is the sensor for the seatbelt and airbags. Why am I the only one who feels that those are issues so integral to safety that they warrant recall and replacement.
I have a 2002 honda civic and the SRS light came on. The car was diagnosed and it was reported to be an airbag malfunction. I was told by the dealer and then through my own research via the internet this is a common problem. Honda reports that the have a lifetime guarantee on all seatbelts, but not the air bags. This is dangerous and I am very disappointed.
Our honda civic 2002 also is having the same problem as described by others, in that the SRS light is on and for seemingly no reason (according to the mechanic). The mechanic reset the light, but it came back on within 2 weeks. I wouldn't care if there truly isn't anything wrong, like the mechanic states, however, in order for the car to pass state inspection, it can not be on. Thus, it will be costly for me to take it to the local honda dealer which already has charged an arm and a leg for a transmission that had to be replaced after only having the car for less than 4 years. I was the one that pushed my husband buy a honda for the reliability factor, but between the transmission and now the SRS issue that needs to be resolved, it's looking like my husbands 2000 jeep cherokee is fairing better in repairs than my honda?? Sad!!!!! Very sad!!!
Was researching recalls for 2002 honda civics and found other car complaint resources website stating over a dozen similar complaints on SRS restraint system failure lights coming on at similar mileages for this car and has not been recalled by the manufacturer to fix this problem which is costly and seems to be a constant problem with said car model and year.
2002 honda civic lx with si front seats. Previous owner had seats changed out and reports that SRS light came on two weeks ago. Light was reset. I purchased car for my son a week ago and now the light is back on again. From what I have read, I have no faith that it can be fixed. My VIN number is outside the range of the honda export service bulletin 02-904 where it states the opds system was faulty. I am concerned that this is not a safe vehicle for my children to be driving/riding in. I will be taking it to a dealer, but I am sure the results will be expensive and no better than anybody else's repairs that have failed repeatedly. Honda needs to determine why so many systems are failing and perform proper repairs that leave a working airbag system.
Honda has a serious problem with their SRS sensor located in the driver's seat belt buckle assembly. Any cursory examination of blogs will illuminate that this defect is very common. I have a 2002 honda civic ex 5 speed manual transmission and the diagnostics show that a malfunction of the sensor in the belt buckle assembly is causing the SRS light to appear on my panel. It should be noted that the airbag will not deploy with this defect. Honda is routinely refusing to repair this defect free-of-charge even when the car is under warranty. The cost to replace the seat belt assembly + labor ranges from $350 - $600. This is unconscionable. For the safety of occupants and to reduce litigation, it would be judicious for the federal safety agency to research this and subsequently instruct honda to perform a recall of all vehicles with this defect. Interestingly, there are lawyers that specialize in this area; they are called seat belt malfunction attorneys. The favor of a response delineating your course of action will be greatly appreciated!
I have honda civic 2002. Srs light is on I take it to dealer to check & they found my driver side seat belt buckle has sensor in it makes trouble honda warranty comes with life time warranty on the buckle but dealer say in order to fix they have to change buckle but its not covered by warranty. I call and complaint to honda care center they made decision to pay only $95 for diagnosis fee & they will repair it for free only one time but I guess seat belt fail is also trouble with inside SRS sensor too but how com they separate this issue like a seat belt is ok but sensor is not ok and you need new sensor which comes with seatbelt buckle than pay to honda otherwise your SRS light is on and your car airbag not working you could die by not working airbag. Your seat buckle is work but senor not working so it makes more trouble but life time warranty not cover this issue???
The SRS airbag light came on out of the blue and is on since then. I tried to contact honda about this problem but did not get any answers. I took the car to a honda dealer and the mechanic told me this is a common problem with this 2002 models, and that he's seen a lot of cars coming to the dealer with this problem. He told me he could change some kind of cable that might make the light turn off, but it's not 100% guaranteed. I want honda to make a recall about this because that's a safety issue!
Srs light came on for no reason but was told the seat and safety belt were the problem but the sensor would need to be replaced. The air bags will not work till fixed and then he was not sure as I found out several people have had this same problem. We have had the car in the family since new. No wreck or accident happened.
Srs light came on today for no reason. Car has never been in an accident. In doing research noticed that this seems to be a common problem. It appears that honda is ignoring the problem and stating that air bags are not a safety issue (why are they mandated by law then?). Responses from other owners reveal that this costly repair may not fix the problem (estimates from $300-$1,000 or more). I can pay to have this problem fixed, however I don't want to continually have to repair the same problem. How many of these complaints must be filed before the federal safety agency acts? Does it require actual death of an owner because of a failed airbag to cause action to take place? I've read complaints here that date back to 2002.
2002 honda civic, supplemental restraint system red light came on the dashboard. Car taken to leesburg honda dealer and technician stated SRS control unit internal failure per some sort of code. Unit replaced for around $500 total. I have owned many honda's for many years and this is the first time this situation has happened. I understand other items on a car do wear out and need replacement. This item, for safety is puzzling.
I have a 2002 honda civic si version. The SRS light always light up. I have bought my car back to the honda dealer to have it service a few times. It was just a temporary fix. The light was off for about 3 weeks and then it came on again. I don't have the money and time to keep brining it back to the mechanic where it will turn back on again after a while. As for now, I am driving as is for a long long while. Is this a recall issue that needs to be fix?
Airbags failed to deploy. 2 impact car collission. Problem with air bag light coming on about a year ago. Took it to a dealer and said that they had fixed the problem.
