Was told by local dealer SRS light LED to seat belt buckle.. Would not fix without big diagnosis fee and cost of part. Did some research on web and found this looks like a very common problem.

On 07-07-16 I had my car serviced at superior honda of omaha due to an SRS light illuminating on my dashboard. I was told by the service technician that the light could be a result of seatbelt failure because the SRS system is a component of the seatbelts. When I had my 2003 crv serviced at superior honda of omaha due to an SRS light problem diagnosed, the issue was with the SRS control module. The technician informed me that this part was not covered under the honda lifetime warranty for seatbelts and I was charged 820.35 to have it replaced. The service technician told me that when the SRS illuminates, then it is possible the airbag and seatbelt system will not function correctly, so for safety concerns I agreed to the replacement. The following week, I contacted honda corporate offices and spoke to a customer service representative (nicky). She gave me a complaint reference # 04820522 and I was then referred to her supervisor liz. Liz contacted me earlier this week and reiterated that the SRS module is not a component of the seat belt system in honda vehicles and that honda is not responsible for reimbursing me for the repair. I disagree. Attached you will find a copy of my bill from superior honda, a copy of a service news article from honda that clearly states the SRS is a component of the seatbelt system and a copy of the page in my owner's manual that states honda's lifetime warranty and component coverage. I would like to be reimbursed for this bill. Thank you

I was involved in a 5 car accident in which my 2003 honda crv ex was rear-ended at 60 MPH, I was pushed into another vehicle and sustained both front and rear damage totaling over $12,000. My airbag failed to deploy. I am now in physical therapy three times a week for a back injury that occurred upon impact. I also missed a week of work due to my injury. My vehicle has been in the process of being repaired for 3 weeks. It is currently at a dealership and I was told that my seat belt is locked and needs to be replaced and there is a problem with the SRS safety system including my airbags. I was in complete shock that such an impact would not deploy the airbags and now I understand why. Apparently the dearlership at lia honda in enfield, ct that is doing the safety check were also surprised the airbags did not deploy. I believe I would have walked away without injury if my safety features on my vehicle worked properly.

The rear center passenger seat belt buckle blocks access to the rear passenger buckle. I asked the dealership and honda america to change this design and the dealer's answer was, "unable to relocate buckles for proper operation." basically the rear passenger has to ride without seat belt protection if there is a rear center passenger.

Problems with front brakes on 2003 honda crv.*mr there was a clunking noise coming from the brakes. When the dealer was notified the stated it was the characteristic of the SUV and there was nothing they could do. The dealer did replace the lower brake pad retainer clips as per service bulletin. The consumer was offered to drive another 2003 crv to prove the noisy brakes were a characteristic of the vehicle. Consumer wasn't happy with this and would like some sort of discount or the dealer to pay off the vehicle. The seat belt wouldn't latch. Consumer had the throttle cable replaced to eliminate the noise but to no avail. Consumer was informed the noise will never go completely away. *ph
