The SRS light will come on, stay on for days, and then randomly go off only to come back on randomly and stay for days. The dealership told me there is a faulty wire which grounds out the SRS system which cuts all power to seatbelt tensioners and airbags.

Srs airbag warning light turns on intermittently. Dealer states defect is bad crimp in wiring harness but will not consider warranty. Repair cost is astronomical.
On june 29, 2010, SRS light on 2006 honda civic was illuminated, indicating problem with airbag. Honda advised that airbag detonator needed to be replaced. Airbag had never deployed, car had never been in an accident. Honda originally refused to cover cost of repair and then made "goodwill" adjustment to cover 38% of cost. The identical part failed on airbag on other side of car 2 weeks later.
2006 honda civic ex the SRS light stays on which disarms air bag system on car. Took vehicle to dealer , they stated the opds unit was faulty. That make and model of vehicle has a recall which describes a sensor problem with SRS system that could eventually lead to a whole system to fail. Called american honda ,they responded that the recall had been made but could not produce any proof of paperwork to me because I was the second owner. I bought the car from a certified honda dealer two and a half years prior the only proof of any recall done was a rear wheel bearing done before my purchased is shown on records. The point is that the SRS system has been identified as a frequent problem with my vehicle , american honda refused to fix on their dime because warranty expiration but the air bag system and components in that car has a track of not working properly. The car is under 73,000miles. This is a safety issue for consumers of their products! I have not done any repairs as of now.
Beginning in april of 2010 my SRS indicator, airbag light, would come on and off while driving randomly. I brought it to the dealership and they stated the diagnostic that came up was for a faulty side airbag. It will cost me $1150 to fix, for which I do not have, and they stated faulty airbags were not covered under warranty. I have not fixed it and am going to try to have to warranty cover this. My car is a 2006 honda civic with about 59,600 miles on it.
The 2006 honda was stopped at an intersection with the owner driving and the owners son in the passenger seat. There was a car stopped in front of them. The owners car was hit from behind and pushed into the front car. None of the airbags deployed. Both front seat belts failed causing the driver to impact the steering wheel and the passenger to impact the dashboard. Both driver and passenger went to the emergency room and were diagnosed with chest contusions. The seat belts remained pulled out (they didn't retract after the accident). The vehicle is being repaired and the owner has requested that all seat belt parts be turned over to the owner.
Was at a stop sign on sunday 5pm on driver's side window I went to close the window the window shot straight up off the track I was able to catch it before it hit ground the driver's side window is now unusable.
My previous 2006 honda civic lx 2 door coupe was involved in a front and rear end crash and none of the airbags deployed. I was at a complete stop in traffic and was rear ended . The car in front and the car behind me both had their airbags deploy. The car behind rear ended me and then I hit the car in front of me and that car into another car in front of that and another car in front of that 5 cars involved. I contacted honda motors USA concerning this and they told me the reaction by my car was "normal" under the circumstances. My insurance totaled the vehicle. Only up until now did I know where and how to file a complaint. I feel this was an error and a failure of the vehicle. Luckily nobody was hurt in this accident.

Driver's side air bag did not deploy. There was no accident involved, I was just driving into a driveway. Both seat belts do not work. Called my case manager and he said I would have to pay for it myself. I am disabled female and driving without seat belts that could result in a hefty fine. Please advise. Thank you.
The side and side curtain airbags deployed in my 2006 honda civic ex coupe on the night of friday, january 9, 2009 when my fiancee shut the door. I was still inside, about to get out. It sounded like an m18 going off. I couldn't believe what had happened. My car was turned off, nonetheless! I called the dealership that I bought it from on monday morning (as the service department was closed on the weekend), and they were going to charge me a $95 diagnostic fee even though my car is still under 36,000 bumper to bumper warranty. I brought it to another honda dealership, where is still sitting, because I am in a catch 22. Honda claims there is nothing wrong with the airbag sensors; they are not defective. I filed an official complaint with honda america and they told me to consult my insurance. My insurance doesn't see how they can cover it. Even with an attorney, a honda representative to the dealership says that honda will not pay for the repairs. Apparently, they assume I am lying when there is clearly no physical evidence of an impact, and it is perfectly acceptable for airbags to deploy when car doors are tugged or slammed, even when the car is not running and keys are not in the ignition. It happens everyday! The technicians at the dealership contrived an absurd idea that my fiance and I must have been playing tug - of - war with the car door (me on the inside and he on the outside or vise versa). If that were the case, one of us would be battered and bruised. I arrive at my point. Even if the door had been slammed, or been the obstacle in a game of tug of war, it is not acceptable for airbags to deploy spontaneously! If someone had been sitting in the passenger's seat when this happened, I can only imagine what would have happened. What if my future stepson or stepdaughter were in the seat? I am appalled and frustrated (to say the least) with honda's lack of responsibility and I will never purchase another honda again (and I have always owned one).
Tl*the contact owns a 2006 honda civic. While driving approximately 5 MPH, the front passenger side air bag deployed without warning. After the failure occurred, none of the seat belts functioned. An investigator from her insurance company inspected the vehicle and stated that they would not assume responsibility because no damage was done to the vehicle to warrant the deployment. The dealer and manufacturer did not assist. The cause of the failure has not been determined and no remedy has been provided. The failure mileage was 15,888 and current mileage was 16,000.
I was driving down a country road at about 55 miles per hour when my driver's side airbag went off without provocation. It sounded like a shotgun had gone off beside my left ear. I was stunned and my ear felt like it was full of cotton. There were no cars in sight at the time and no curbs. I pulled off the road after realizing what had happened. The car was full of dust and my seatbelt was so tight that I felt like it was crushing me. The side seat airbag had deployed as well. I took my 2006 honda civic to the service department at the dealership, where I was told that it had been set off by damage done to the underside of the car by merely driving over a curb, which happened about 9 months ago. Honda refused to acknowledge that this was not the normal function of the airbag and refused to cover the cost of fixing it, although it was still under warranty. My insurance company refused to pay because there was no accident involved. Honda's estimated cost of repair was $2787 and they charged me $51.29 to give me that estimate. My car is still not repaired.
We were driving through a new neighborhood that was still undeveloped. The passenger side impact airbags deployed when I hit a raised sewer drain with my foot on the brake. I would estimate approx. Speed of 10mph. The side airbag deployed and hit my wife in her head and arm. She incurred a headache and bruise on her right arm. The incident filled the vehicle with the airbag dust and I immediately pulled over as my wife was screaming and crying in pain. I cannot understand why the passenger side airbag deployed at such a low rate of speed and with impact only to the underside of the vehicle, which caused damage to the inside of the car pillars and injury to my wife.
The passenger side airbags in my 2006 honda civic coup deployed for no apparent reason. The initial inspection from the dealership, where purchased ,(honda of lise) or the eventual repair shop who was recommended by hartford insurance could find no reason for the deployment. The only comment from honda of america was that it was not a "defect", no cause was given by any honda associate at any time. The repair shop (terry's in frankfort il), was very concerned because reloading the air bags was not an issue, but knowing whether the cause was resolved was an issue with them. They are a certified shop with hartford insurance. The vehicle had only 27,300 miles and was less than 3 years old. Luckily the incident occurred at a very low rate of speed (5 - 10 MPH), after pulling away from a stop sign. Several week earlier we had driven from florida to chicago with no incidents. Had this happened in a 70 mile per hour zone, what would have been the consequences? I have done some research on the internet and have seen the same issue with the same year and model. I have to ask if this had happened at 60 or 70 miles an hour - who would know what happened first - the air bag deployment or the accident? I have to admit, at that high of a speed - I don't know whether I would know for sure. When those air bags deploy, the noise is deafening, the car fills with gas and in my case - because my arm was on the arm rest, the back of the seat gives your arm a very painful whack. Now what happens when it goes off on the drivers side at high speed??? I further question whether this has happened in the past, and people have lost their lives? Who would be the wiser? A horrible accident where the air bags deployed, people were killed, but not in the suspected or assumed sequence. Who would be left to answer the questions? I can honestly say that had this happened at interstate speeds that I may not know which happened first - the accident or the air bags. Thanks.
Approx in the month of december 2006 my airbag light came on. I brought the car to the dealer to inspect the defect. Was notified everything was normal and when I left the dealer the light was no longer on. On july 21, 2007 the passenger side airbag deployed while closing the passenger door, the vehicle was not running. The curtain and seat both deployed. Followed up with an appointment at pompano honda. Service manager informed me it should be covered by american honda due to safety issues. The rep came into the dealer to inspect the vehicle and denied the claim. He said that the deployment was due to impact in on my bumper which previously happened a year prior to the deployment. I since then have had to pay $1500.00 to cover the repair. I feel as if this should have been covered through american honda as a safety issue defect. I am referring to you for possible assistance in reviewing this issue on my behalf. Honda would not allow me access to my service file and photographs the rep took of my vehicle, which denied my claim. Pompano honda told me the photographs were property of honda. I have taken pictures on the alleged bumper damage which they contend created the deployment. Please contact me for further assistance.
My daughter was the driver of a 2006 honda civic involved in a head on collision. Despite extensive damage to the front end of the civic, the driver's air bag did not deploy resulting in head and chest injuries for my daughter.
