Srs light comes on constantly. Code reads seat belt buckle, changed multiple times under seat belt warranty. Now tech line advises replacing wire harness into seat belt...dealer wants over $900. Honda will cover under warranty anything seat belt related but they do not care about air bags...and won't cover it. Please cover this under warranty honda...it's not even guaranteed this will clear the code. Theory is air bags are disabled if SRS light is on...why have the harness anyway...service has used electrical contact cleaner, re-wired the end of the harness, but only satisfies for a few months and code continues to eliminate SRS light which disables airbags. Why cover seatbelts but not airbag/SRS system?

Yesterday, while driving, I noticed that my airbag warning light, on the dash, was illuminated. Approximately, 3 - 4 weeks ago, I had my airbags replaced at my local dealer, due to a recall notice I received in the mail. Today, I took my car to the same dealer that replaced my airbags and they told me that the issue was probably be the replacement of the seatbelt, of which, she had seen costs for this to be between $200 & $450. I showed her that I had another warning light, alerting me to any seatbelt issue, but, she told me that warning light alerts drivers to 'put on their seatbelt', and that the warning light that I was seeing illuminated on my dash is for the entire supplemental restraint system, (I.e. Airbags, seatbelts, etc.). She told me that she thought my issue was tied to the driver's seatbelt, because it gets the most use. Shouldn't all components, dealing with occupant restraint, be considered warranted for the life of the vehicle?

My seatbelt/SRS light went came on and when I took it to the honda dealership I was told that there is an issue with the SRS sensor but is not covered under any warranty. To me it seems like a safety issue that honda does not cover the SRS sensor in the buckle. With this sensor going bad it could cause an issue with the airbag. My honda has had multiple recalls on the airbag but nothing on the sensor. I believer honda should cover this as a safety issue.

The airbag/ SRS light went off and honda dealer said it was the seatbelts and required a $530 repair. I am not sure why this is not covered under a warranty for safety.
