The vehicle airbag warning light 'SRS' displays randomly. We paid almost $200 for a diagnosis and have been told the passenger airbag needs to be replaced at a cost of $800. The Diagnostic code is B0020-13 "open or increased resistance in the left side airbag inflator". I have contacted Honda and they denied any 'good will' service to replace it due to the age and mileage of the car. We drive around 20k/yr. We do regular maintenance. Honda cannot confirm if the airbag will function properly. We have not 'worn out' the airbag as it has never been used but I do expect it to function in an accident. We bought the Touring model of the CR-V for the added feature of LED headlights. Safety is a high priority and I expect Honda to stand behind their safety features.

2017 Honda CRV, mileage on 1 Dec 2023 (44498).The passenger air bag warning light fails to to 'OFF' when a 112 pound person sits on the front seat. Auto dealer inspected the device on Dec 1, 2023 and re-initialized the seat weight sensor to factory parameters and advised it now tests ok. During Jan - June 2024, the warning light began to operate improperly. Auto dealer inspected the system on August 24 and determined the passenger front seat weight sensor reading was inaccurate and advised the entire seat frame with weight sensors be replaced. Returned to the auto dealer on June 18 to have the entire seat and weight sensors replaced to correct the issue. Current Mileage: 48692 on June 24, 2024. Cost to customer: Parts & Labor: $1558.78 The vehicle is not covered by a factory warranty, however, it would seem that an issue with an air bag should be considered as a recall, since the only person using the car was the driver, since we had no confidence that the passenger air bag system would work if there was an incident that required it to be deployed. We have to use a second vehicle whenever we travel with more that one person in the car.

I was driving at about 45mph, and had to stopped in median of road to turn right. All of a sudden my honda crv 2017 stopped and all dashboard lights started flashing, it started showing all the following problems. 1) brake system problem 2) brake hold system problem 3) airbag system (SRS) problem 4) power steering system (eps) problem 5) anti-lock brake system problem 6) vehicle stability assist (vsa) problem 7) hill start assist problem 8) adaptive cruise control problem 9) collision mitigation system problem 10) road departure mitigation system problem 11) auto high-beam problem 12) tire pressure monitor problem 13) all wheel drive system problem 14) lane keeping assist cannot operate 15) seat belt warning on and beeping even though seat belt was being worn. I tried to turn off, and turn on, nothing happened. Exited the vehicle, checked the car. No physical damage. Tried to start 2-3 times more, still no luck. I called the roadside assistance, and towed the car to dealer. Dealer kept the car for 4 hours, and called me that it was low gas issue, and charged me $88. I am sure it was not low gas, and even if it was low gas, car warning should tell its not starting due to low gas. It should not be that all 15 errors start showing on dashboard.

I purchased this cr-v new from the honda dealership in sarassota, fl in feb 2017. O/s SRS light keeps coming on. It is an intermittent problem. When it comes on, it stays on until the car is turned off. This has been going on for at least 3 months. I had started taking pictures of the actual meter panel speedometer with the o/s SRS light on every day to show the frequency and magnitude of this issue. On 11/11/17, stored codes were deleted a few times at bradenton, fl dealership with no success. "system operating as designed" is what I was told by honda dealership. On 11/13 - 11/21/17, o/s SRS light came on after codes cleared. Returned to honda dealership in bradenton, fl. They checked pin fit at air bag connector and SRS unit. Continuity was confirmed. No mouse or water damage. Driver's seat air bag was replaced per honda tech line. The dealership was in possession of our cr-v during these dates. On 12/13/17, o/s SRS light keeps coming on. The bradenton, fl dealership. Scanned for SRS codes (same as before, 'b0020-13"), open or increased resistance on the left side. Reviewed data withe tech line and they had dealership replace the SRS control unit. Initialized seat weight sensor to verify repair was completed. Tech drove vehicle 85 miles to confirm repair was completed. Tech line ref#4044223 on 12/14/17 the o/s SRS light came on still. Due to our vacation from sarasota, fl to ohio for christmas, the bradenton honda dealership could not provide a loaner for any out of state driving. So, we drove this crv to ohio with the o/s SRS light on for 95% of our 2600 mile trip. Negotiated with am honda and bradenton, fl dealership to bring cr-v back on 1/8/18. A honda 'technician specialist' is being flown in from torrence, ca to fix it. My wife and I retired from honda of america mfg inc with 50 combined years of manufacturing service building hondas.

The indicator light for the passenger air bag ('air bag off') does not operate consistently. A 112 pound passenger regularly rides in the front passenger seat of this vehicle. Sometimes when this passenger is present, the passenger airbag indicator light ('airbag off') illuminates and stays illuminated during travel. At other times it does not illuminate at all during trips when the passenger is present. The indicator light is more likely to remain on when the vehicle is started before the passenger enters the car. This problem has persisted for 4 months.

Passenger side airbag indicator does not turn off, therefore the airbag does not activate, when a person weighing significantly more (100lbs) than the stated threshold of 65lbs as described in the owner's manual. This is a significant safety concern since the passenger is not protected by the airbag. Honda dealer claims the weight sensor is correctly calibrated and working properly according to honda. The concern is that this tolerance of more than 35lbs is way too high and the airbag needs to activate much closer to the stated threshold of 65lbs.
