2004 Honda Pilot airbags complaints

I have a 2004 honda pilot and my SRS dash light has come on at least 3 times. The last time was when I placed my computer on the front passenger seat. The light came on and will not go out. Each time it cost over $100 the repair/reset. This is upsetting that the air bag will not deploy in an accident.
I own a 2004 honda pilot. The seatbelt sensor switch came on at around 63k miles. Took to honda, they said passenger seat airbags sensor is defective and they have to take seat apart to repair. Proposed cost is around $500. Have not repaired yet due to cost. Inquired with other owners in my town that own same care, make and model year 2004 and 2005. 6 other women in my town have had exact same problem with their pilot. I feel it should be a warranted part due to it being a life safety issue of a defective sensor on the pilot. Complained to local dealership, herb chambers honda, westborough, ma. They said they have had some repairs like that but not alot and it is not a recall problem. I would like it investigated to see how many honda pilots have had this problem and if it should be a honda cost for such a defect. Honda doesn't not even tell you to not let anyone sit in the passenger seat inspite of the sensor being on indicating a defect.
Was a head on crash at both parties going 60 MPH. The drivers side airbag did not deploy which my wife had multiple bruising from hitting the side window and b pillar. Injuries besides above 2 holes in colon, damaged 6" of small intestine multiple cuts and bruising and also pulled tendons from left foot.
Opsd (occupant position detection system) and rearwiper motor failed at the same time without previous accident. Honda dealer saying this items are not covered under honda certified used car contract. I need to pocket out about $900.00 to replaced both parts.
We have two honda pilot 2004 and 2005. Approximately 6 months ago the air bag (SRS) light on the 2005 came on, today the light on the 2004 is on.
On evening of 3-25-07, airbag light came on. 3-27-07, went to dealer -computer out. Part ordered-to be in 3/29. Come pick up car. Did so - drove in fear. 3/29- part not in until 4/3. Told no rental car as car is drivable (under warranty). Called national/zone - agreed with this. Told car is drivable. Would not tell me car is safe but that is honda's policy. That if the car is drivable - they do not give a rental. So- to me - honda is saying my life and that of my family is not their problem and it's up to me to get a rental. The car is drivable but not safe and possibly dangerous. I am the medical provider for a large brain injury rehab facility. I don't want to have more clients due to honda's policy!!! If the car is unsafe or dangerous - it is not drivable!!!! A rental car should be supplied. I would like to see honda held accountable for their policy and feel that it goes against the federal safety agency beliefs. Airbags are their for a reason but honda doesn't feel they are necessary.
The air bags failed to work when the car impacted a vehicle head-on. The air bag failed a 2nd time when the vehicle was impacted in the rear bumper. The speed of the vehicle in the rear was going aproximately 50mph. The children in the rea seating had very soar necks for a week. I bought the car with the understanding the vehicle was a safe vehicle. I had four children in the vehicle. When I talked to the honda mechanic, he explained to me that because I was in the middle of two cars the air bag computer system was confused on where to send the air... I think that is wrong! There should be a signal that when confused on where to go, set all of the airbags off. By not sending any off, it indangered my family... Please reconsider the five star rating you give a false impression.
After noticing the seatbelt/airbag warning light was on, I arranged to have it checked by the dealer, ken dixon honda of waldorf, md. I also requested an oil change. When I droped the car off, the gentleman asked if I was there for an oil change. I said yes but I was really there to have the seatbelt/airbag system checked and the light reset. He asked if I wanted my car washed; it was free. Half way home, (I live one hour away) I realized the warning light was still on. The next day, friday, we drove to georgia. On our way home, we rolled three times in our honda pilot. None of the airbags opened. Although we walked away, we suffered head and neck injuries, none of which were life threatening. I would like to know if they should have deployed. Could you please let me know where to go and how I should respond. Thank you.
Consumer's vehicle was involved in a front impact collision at 35 MPH when it struck the vehicle in front. The seat belts did not lock upon impact.*ak the consumer stated that the airbag deployed but did not inflate.
Air bag system kept disabling by itself, and there was no way to reset it unless taken to the dealer. Consumer took vehicle to the dealer 3 times, and each time it took days before consumer had vehicle returned.
