Master Power Window Control Switch failed operating the Passenger power window regulator. While driving, the front passenger regulator popped and the window started falling down all by itself. It happened by a glass repair company, so I asked them what happened. He said when the voltage going to the regulator is not uniform, the regulator will pop and the window will drop down. He offered to repair it for $200 including parts which I thought was a fair price. I went to a website where they tell you if any parts on your vehicle have been recalled. It did include a master power window control switch for a 2005 Honda CR-V. So I called Middletown Honda, (NY) and they said the master Power Window Control Switch was $405. My car was not included in the recall (which only included switches made in the U.K) and they would only see the car if they could get a new Master Power Window Switch. I proceeded to tape up the window which dramatically reduces visibility to the rear view mirror and to side traffic on the highway. I don't have comprehensive insurance on my car and don't want to report it to my insurance company as I am [XXX] old reducing the chances of getting insurance from another company. The airbag light has been coming on and off since this incident leaving me with another unknown electrical problem. I told Middletown Honda that I would probably junk the car, but due to the car's age, they offered no comment, (the car is a 2005 Honda CR-V EX AWD).

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
I have read of several air bag recalls. This car has an air bag light that comes on the dash.
Airbag light on , recall notice
Seat belt has slack in it and does not tighten up and the Airbag light on the dash comes on intermitently
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the air bag warning light illuminated. An unknown dealer was contacted and the contact was informed that there was a diagnostic fee of $165 in order to diagnose the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted nor informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 231,000.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda cr-v. While driving, the SRS indicator for the seat belt illuminated and the seat belt had a lot of slack. Sussex honda (57 hampton house rd, newton, nj 07860, (855) 860-7860) performed an unknown recall repair regarding the air bags. The contact had an independent mechanic speak to the manufacturer to confirm that the vehicle was not included in a recall. When he tried to order a part, the manufacturer stated that it could be a year before the part arrives. The contact was informed that the cr-v was the only model in 2005 not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Airbag light comes on intermittently. Told by honda dealer that this is due to seatbelt part that is faulty on the driver's side. Is this part of a recall? I bought the car in 2017 and I am not sure what recalls have been missed.
Takata recall car was started in parking lot at mechanic for a misfiring spark plugs. Mechanic placed new spark plugs and a missing coil and car started right up. Car was stationary in lie to be pulled into the bay by mechanic went into his office which was about 75 feet away then heard an explosion. Upon going out to my vechile he noticed the airbags deployed and had exploded for no reason. The side curtain and seat airbags deployed on the drivers side. Car still running was not overheated nor did anyone wasvin the car. Incident occurred on 11/05/2918 was reported to owner auto insurance as an unexplained loss and reported to the honda manufacture as on issue and a claim number was assigned from both insurance company and honda manufacturer a claim examiner audited the vechile for loss and honda manufacturer said they would pay for a diagnosis if it would be brought to a honda dealer. Car was driven to a local honda dealer and a specialized no reading could be concluded as the SRS was fried honda the estimate includes SRS unit, seat sensors, curtain airbag, drivers side seat back assembly, labor is $1,082.00 and parts are $3,172.87 total $4,254.87 for total repairs. I am waiting on my honda dpsm rep to give me feedback. Insurance company asked for a forensic mechanic to evaluated or get to root cause of airbags spontaneously exploding through black box as honda did not include black box till the 2012 models this vechile is a 2005 model hence did not have a black box and no determination was determined for root cause. The vechile being a 2005 13 years old and only had a total of 143,850 miles, body and interior learher sears were in ideal condition. Car should have lasted at least another 100,000 miles car was deemed a total loss and car was scraped. Fact was if I or anyone else would have been in the car it could have caused an fatal accident.
I had the driver's air bag replaced under recall. Received recall notice on passenger air bag and had it replace. After that recall, the SRS warning light came on and won't go off. Had honda dealer check it and was told that it's the driver's side sensor in the seat belt clip. Cost would be over $800.00 to fix. If SRS light is on air bag won't deploy. This is a safety issue and should have a recall on it since the SRS light was not causing a problem until the passenger air bag was replaced. Car has about 82,000 miles on it.
Air bag light come on/off at will, dash light stop working, and the gages stop/glitch at will when it is either hot/cold/normal out side. And this all happened stationary, in motion, on a city street, or a highway, turning, braking, etc. And it is a problem that created the unsafe condition. And I am a mechanic and I am most certain it could be a computer are wiring factory defect for any more question? U may call[xxx] at [xxx] or e-mail at [xxx] or mailing to address to [xxx].

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the air bag warning indicator illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was previously included in a recall regarding the side air bags (the exact location of the air bag was unknown) for which the remedy was completed; however, the failure recurred. Cornhusker toyota honda (3510 kaufman avenue, grand island, ne 68803; 308‑382‑4620) informed the contact that the air bag warning indicator illumination was separate from the recall, and the contact would need to pay for the vehicle to be diagnosed and repaired. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,500.
I took my car to get serviced and to have the airbags replaced following the recall. I was told that the airbags were replaced, but they were never in fact replaced. The airbag light continues to come on and I am continuing to receive notices from honda that my airbags have not been replaced. I would appreciate to have a truthful answer and to have this situation fixed!
