2001 HONDA ACCORD Air Bagsfrontalsensorcontrol Module Problems

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. NOTHING PROMPTED IT. IT MEANS THE AIRBAGS WON'T WORK IN AN ACCIDENT. APPARENTLY IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND COSTS ANYWHERE FORM $600-1300 TO FIX. *TR

ON MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX SRS LIGHT ON AFTER SMALL ACCIDENT, THIS IS NOT COVERED VIA MY INSURANCE NOR IS IT COVERED VIA HONDA. HONDA STATES THAT IT WILL ONLY REPAIR THE PASSENGER SIDE PORTION. HOW DOES THIS HELP IF I AM IN AN ANOTHER MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT. TO ADD I AM A LOW INCOME PERSON AND SPENDING $2000 AND 105 TO HAVE NOTHING DONE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD REMAIN ILLUMINATED EVERYTIME HE STARTED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $89 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 177,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 167,000. UPDATED 03-04-08 *BF THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS, BUT IT WAS ONLY GOOD FOR UP TO A 160,000 MILES.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) LIGHT REMAINS ON WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY INDICATES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS OR SEATBELTS. AS I UNDERSTAND IT, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL OF CAR. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT CAME UP FOR NO REASONS ON MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. IT CAME ON AFTER THE 3 YEAR WARRANTY WAS OVER. I HAD BROUGHT IT BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAD RESET IT. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK WITHIN A WEEK. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT WILL TRIGGER A RECALL FROM HONDA AS IT SEEMS THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING THE SAME THING!!!! I DON'T WANT TO SHELL OUT $$$$ TO FIX SOMETHING THAT WAS A DEFECT IN THE FIRST PLACE! *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM HONDA IN 11/2001. MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON REPEATEDLY THROUGHOUT THE YEARS. I WOULD INFORM HONDA EVERY TIME I WENT IN FOR A SERVICE OR OIL CHANGE. THEY WOULD ADJUST THE LIGHT AND IT WOULD COME ON WEEKS LATER. I FINALLY HAD THE SRS LIGHT SERVICED BY HONDA. CURRENTLY THE SRS LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. *TR

I OWN A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD THE SRS LIGHT COME ON SINCE THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS. HAVING GONE THROUGH THE LIST OF COMPLAINTS REGISTERED WITH NHTSA, I AM REALLY CONCERNED WITH THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAD RUN A LITTLE MORE THAN 103,000 MILES AND I BELIEVE IT STILL FALLS UNDER THE FREE OPDS REPLACEMENT PERIOD AS STATED BY THE NHTSA AUTHORITY. PLEASE LET ME KNOW HOW THIS PROBLEM IS TO BE RESOLVED. *TR

THE SRS LIGHT STAYS LIT ON MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. AIRBAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS SINCE IT IS MANUFACTURER FAULT. *TR

ON 26TH OCTOBER 2007, FRIDAY, IT WAS RAINING HEAVILY IN NEW JERSEY. WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK, THE CAR WAS FINE. WHEN I STARTED BACK HOME, THE VEHICLE'S SRS LIGHT WAS PERMANENTLY ON. IT STILL IS AFTER 4 DAYS. RESEARCHING, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE IN THIS MODEL YEAR OF THIS VEHICLE AND IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. KINDLY TAKE ACTION TO MAKE SURE THIS ISN'T AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR FOR THOUSANDS OF CONSUMERS GIVEN THE POPULARITY OF THIS VEHICLE MODEL. THANK YOU. PLEASE SEE THIS PAGE - HTTP://WWW.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/HONDA/ACCORD/2001/SEAT_BELTS_AIR_BAGS/SRS_LIGHT_KEEPS_COMING_ON.SHTML FOR TALES OF SIMILAR FAILURE. *TR

SRS LIGHT IS ON. *AK

THE 2001 HONDA ACCORD SRS LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX FOR AN AIRBAG. *AK

2001 HONDA ACCORD PURCHASED NEW AT DEALERSHIP. A FEW MONTHS LATER (LESS THAN 1 YEAR) SRS LIGHT INDICATING PROBLEM WITH AIRBAG CAME ON AND STAYED ON. AUTO WAS BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER FOR REPAIR; TEMPORARILY LIGHT OFF, BUT CAME BACK SHORTLY THEREAFTER. IN ALL TOTAL, CAR BROUGHT IN FOR THIS PROBLEM PROBABLY 6 OR MORE TIMES, VARIABLY CALLED SENSOR, LIGHT BULB AND SEAT BELT PROBLEM. DAUGHTER NOW HAS CAR, AND HAS MOVED OUT OF TOWN. LIGHT IS ON, INDICATING PROBLEM, AND SHE HAS A WRECK, WITH NO INJURIES BUT CAUSING MODERATE DAMAGE TO FRONT OF CAR. FRONT END REPAIRED, LIGHT TEMPORARILY WENT OFF, BUT CAME BACK ON WITHIN A , MONTH OR TWO, ANOTHER WRECK WITH DAMAGE TO FRONT AND BACK CAR, THIS TIME TO POINT OF HAVING TO BE TOWED AND UNDRIVABLE. IN NEITHER CASE DID AIRBAGS DEPLOY, AND DAUGHTER SUSTAINED MILD NECK AND HEAD INJURY FROM HITTING HEAD...

I STARTED GETTING AN INDICATION OF SRS LIGHT. STARTED DOING RESEARCH ONLINE AND NOTICED THE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH 2001 HONDA ACCORD. WHAT IS THE DEAL IS THIS CAR SAFE? *AK

I PURCHASED A NEW HONDA ACCORD EX IN 2001 AT A HONDA DEALER IN TEXAS , NOW THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TCS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. I CHECKED THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND FOUND OUT IT COULD BE THAT THE GAS CAP MIGHT NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED. SO I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 3 DRIVING TRIPS TO SEE IF IT WENTOFF. THATS WASWHAT MANUAL SUGGESTED FIRST. THEN ITWENT OFF TO HONDA DEALER TO SEE IF COMPUTER NEEDED A NEW CATALYTIC CONVERTER ,WHICH I HEARD COULD LIKELY BE INACCURATE DIAGNOSIS, AND MORE LIKELY OXYGEN SENSOR. ALSO ANOTHER PROBLEM OCCURRED, THE SRS LIGHT STAYED ON AND DID NOT GO OUT. *AK SRS LIGHT COMING ON, I HAVE ALSO HAD MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND TCS INDICATOR COME ON. IT IS A BIT CONCERNING THAT I HAVE HAD SO MANY ISSUES WITH THIS PARTICULAR ACCORD WITH SO FEW MILES ON IT....

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. THE SRS LIGHTS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER STATED THE OPD SENSOR IS THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE OPD SENSOR WAS REPLACED TWICE AND DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 130000.

SRS AIR BAG SENSOR FAULTY, POSSIBLE RISK OF INJURY OR EVEN DEATH DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. *NM

2001 HONDA ACCORD SRS LIGHT CAME ON WITH NO REASON AND STAYED ON. *NM

SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM BECOMES INOPERATIVE FOR SEVERAL REASONS, POSSIBLY INCLUDING WEAK BATTERY, CELL PHONE USE, PLACEMENT OF LIGHTWEIGHT PACKAGE ON FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. DEALER WAS INTENT ON COLLECTING SCANNER FEE CLAIMING NO WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY ON A TEMPORARY ERROR MESSAGE. I OFFERED TO BUY A REPLACEMENT BATTERY AT ABOVE MARKET RATE IF DEALER WOULD ABSORB THE SCANNER CHARGE. DEALER DECLINED AND URGED ME TO LEAVE AND NEVER RETURN. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED THE CONTROL MODULE WAS BAD AND THE AIR BAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY DURING AN ACCIDENT.

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX THAT I PURCHASED FROM BEAUDRY HONDA IN TUCSON, AZ. I HAD THE COMPUTER MODULE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 YEARS AGO BECAUSE THE AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATED THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION. I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA OF AMERICA, TORRANCE, CA, BUT THEY WERE UNWILLING TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THIS DEFECT. SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR DURING MAY 2001, THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAG LIGHT HAS ACTIVATED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IN LATE 2005, THE MASTER CONTROL AIR BAG MODULE WAS FOUND DEFECTIVE. TO REPLACE THIS MODULE WILL COST OVER $650.00 IN PARTS ALONE. I UNDERSTAND THE NHTSA HAS ISSUED A WARNING TO HONDA ACCORD OWNERS FOR DEFECTIVE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT SYSTEMS. I AM REQUESTING THAT HONDA COVER THE REPAIR FOR THIS FACTORY DEFECT AS WELL AS A REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE PREVIOUS REPAIRS. THERE IS A TSB ON YOUR SITE REGARDING THIS MATTER. THANK YOU FOR...

SRS SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION AND HAS NEVER WENT OFF. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH IT APPEARS THAT DIAG. AND REPAIR OF THIS PROBLEM WILL BE TIME CONSUMING, EXPENSIVE AND WILL ONLY BE A TEMPORARY FIX TO A REPETITIVE PROBLEM. IN THE MEAN TIME I WILL HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT MY AIR BAGS ARE IN FACT; OPERATIONAL, NON-OPERATIONAL OR LIABLE TO DEPLOY WITHOUT CAUSE. *JB

SRS LIGHT COMES ON FOR NO APPARENT REASON. 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 COUPE. *JB

SRS INDICATOR CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THIS HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR OFTEN COMES ON FOR NO REASON. *JB

RED SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. CALLED HONDA DEALERSHIP. THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT A RECURRING PROBLEM AND IT WILL COST $100 TO READ THE ERROR CODE, AND $600-$1300 TO FIX DEPENDING ON WHAT FAILED. I WAITED AT THE DEALERSHIP AND TALKED TO 3 OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE. HONDA IS CLEARLY AVOIDING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY SEAT BELT AIRBAG SYSTEM. *AK

MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD SRS LIGHT HAS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH OTHER 2001 HONDA ACCORDS AND I WANT TO KNOW IF THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL PUT OUT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM? THANK YOU . *AK

2001 HONDA ACCORD SRS LAMP REMAINS LIT. NO ACCIDENT OR OTHER EVENTS CAUSED THIS TO OCCUR. CONSEQUENCES OF SRS UNIT FAILURE INCLUDES NON-DEPLOYMENT OF AIRBAGS IN FRONTAL/SIDE IMPACT. DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION ESTIMATES PARTS REPLACEMENT AT $425. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT WENT ON IN MY CAR FOR NO REASON. *JB

2001 HONDA ACCORD WITH 45000 MILES. SRS RED LIGHT ON THE DASH THAT INDICATES THE FRONT AIRBAGS ARE LIKELY DISABLED STAYS ON. A HONDA MECHANIC HAS TESTED FOR THE ERROR CODE AND RESET THE SRS TWICE. BOTH TIMES THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AFTER STARTING THE CAR. THE CODE FROM HIS TEST INDICATES THAT THE UNIT CONTROLLING THE FRONT AIR BAGS IS THE PROBLEM. SEEMS TO ME THAT PART SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A CAR THIS NEW WITH THIS FEW MILES WHEN IT HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. *JB

SRS LIGHT IS ON, VEHICLE NEEDS NEW OPDS. RESULT: NO WORKING AIR BAGS. *NM

I AM WRITING IN REGARDS TO A PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT. THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT GOES ON FOR NO REASON THEN TURNS ITSELF OFF IN 10 TO 15 MINUTES. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FIND THAT MANY OTHER 2001 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, AND HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS. THEY HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALER SPENDING THEIR OWN MONEY TO REPLACE THE SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE BUT IT IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX. WHY PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS BROKEN AND IS NOT THE FAULT OF THE OWNER?? THE DEALER SAYS IF THE SIDE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED, THE SIDE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THERE IS STILL NO RECALL REGARDING THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO START A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE? HAS THE NHTSA CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM...

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX AND DOES NOT GO OFF. THE DEALER WANTS $125 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AND $1300 TO REPLACE THE SENSOR UNIT. THE SERVICE MAN NEVER TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH ACCORDS, BUT IS CLEARLY INDICATED AS A PROBLEM IN SEVERAL WEB SITES. I BOUGHT THIS CAR SPECIFICALLY FOR THE SIDE AIR BAGS AND PAID EXTRA FOR THEM UP FRONT. NOW I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT. THIS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!! *NM

SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF ON HONDA 2001 ACCORD LX 4 DOOR. DEALER FOUND NO PROBLEM AND SUGGESTED THAT AN OBJECT WAS ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPEATING FOR OVER A YEAR WITHOUT OBJECTS ON THE FRONT SEAT. DEALER IS NOT HELPFUL AND HAS ERRONEOUSLY DIAGNOSED MY LAST TWO PROBLEMS, CAUSING ME TO PAY FOR UNNECESSARY REPAIRS.*JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE LIGHT SENSOR WAS REST. THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN WITHIN TWENTY FOUR HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR AT THIS TIME. THE LIGHT WAS RESET AT THE CONTACT'S OWN EXPENSE. THE SYMPTOMS MATCHED NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE05043.*AK UPDATED 11/15/2005. *NM

MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS NOW AND I WENT TO GO GET IT CHECKED OUT. THE DEALER TOLD ME AN ATTACHMENT TO THE AIRBAG AND HORN(DOESN'T WORK) WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED WHICH HE SAYS WOULD COST ME $1000. I ADVISED HIM NOT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. ALTHOUGH, THE SAME TIME THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AS WELL FOR THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAD A FRIEND ADVISED ME OF COMPLAINTS ON THE WEB OF THE SRS LIGHT COMING ON IN MOST 2001 HONDA ACCORDS. I LOOKED INTO IT AND SAW TOO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL REGARDING IT AND THAT MAY COST SOMEONE THEIR LIVE BECAUSE OF IT. FROM WHAT I'M READING ON THESE REVIEWS OF THE SRS LIGHT...

THE AIRBAG SYSTEM ON OUR 2001 HONDA ACCORD CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION. THE SRS LIGHT COMES ON. ONE OPDS SENSOR WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRENTY, BUT NOW THE DEALER WANTS ALMOST $700 EVERY TIME IT COMES BACK ON. WHEN I COMPLAIN, THEY JUST TELL ME I MUST HAVE PUT SOMETHING ON THE PASSENGER SEAT, THAT IT'S MY FAULT.

THE YELLOW AIR BAG LIGHT LIGHTS UP INTERMITTENTLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED EVER SINCE THE CAR WAS BRAND NEW, BUT NOW THE FREQUENCY OF THIS LIGHT ACTIVATION IS MUCH GREATER. WHEN THERE ISN'T ANYTHING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE LIGHT WILL TURN ON BY ITSELF. WHEN I THEN TOUCH THE PASSENGER SEATS UPPER CUSHION (THE BACKREST) WITH MY HAND IT GOES OUT. WHEN I RELEASE THE TOP CUSHION THE LIGHT COMES BACK ON. THIS DEFECT IS MOST APPARENT DURING VERY HUMID DAYS. ONCE THE AIR CONDITIONING HAS REMOVED ENOUGH HUMIDITY FROM THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS OFF. *NM

DT: THE SRS LIGHT STAYED ON SINCE THE CONSUMER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTANCE THEY WOULD RESET THE LIGHT. EVERY TIME IT WOULD COME BACK ON. THE CONSUMER WAS CONCERNED BECAUSE SHE HAS BEEN INFORMED THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY SINCE THIS LIGHT WAS ON. *AK

ON 7/28/05 MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE 5TH TIME IN THE 4.5 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE CAR. THIS IS MY SECOND FILING WITH NHTSA ON THIS ISSUE. MY DEALER HAS BEEN WILLING TO REPLACE AND RESET THE SENSOR, BUT NOT BEFORE CHASTISING ME FOR PLACING MY CELL PHONE IN PROXIMATELY TO THE PASSENGER SEAT. ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS FROM HONDA ON THIS "ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE" I FIND THIS DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE AS I DRIVE MY CAR LESS THAN A MILE A DAY, MANY DAYS I NEVER USE MY CAR OR CELL PHONE IN THE CAR. IT APPEARS FROM THE MANY POSTS HERE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH HONDA ACCORD 2001 SRS SENSOR AND HONDA SHOULD BE MADE TO REPLACE THEM APPROPRIATELY. *JB

MY SRS LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN JUNE, 2005. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE SRS LIGHT IS ON, MY AIR BAG SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE AND AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. DEALERSHIP INSPECTION FOUND A CODE FOR SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH/SENSOR CAUSING THE SRS LIGHT. THE BUCKLE SET HAS BEEN SPECIAL ORDERED AND HAS NOT ARRIVED AFTER ONE MONTH. IN THE MEANTIME, I DRIVE AROUND WITH MY SRS LIGHT ON AND NO AIRBAGS. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE? DOES THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL? SO MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE ARE WITH NO RESOLUTION. SO FAR I HAVE NO RESOLUTION. I DID NOT BUY A CAR WITH NO AIR BAGS. I WANT TO FEEL CONFIDENT MY AIR...

THE SRS LIGHT IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD REPEATEDLY COMES ON. I HAVE HAD THE OPDS UNIT REPLACED TWICE, AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT IT HAS TO BE REPLACED AGAIN.*AK

I AM WRITING TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND FOR INFORMATION REGARDING A PERSISTENT PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD SRS LIGHT. SPECIFICALLY THE DASHBOARD SRS LIGHT GOES ON FOR NO REASON. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THEY CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT MY AIRBAGS WILL DEPLOY IF I AM IN AN ACCIDENT OR THAT THE BAGS MAY DEPLOY FOR NO REASON. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ONLINE AND FIND THAT MANY OTHER 2001 HONDA ACCORD OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, AND HAVE FILED COMPLAINTS ETC. BUT YET THERE IS STILL NO RECALL REGARDING THIS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE. I AM HOPING YOU CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND THE FOLLOWING: 1. WHY HASN'T THERE BEEN A RECALL REGARDING THIS ISSUE? 2. HAS THE NHTSA CONDUCTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE PROBLEM OF THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT ON 2001 HONDA ACCORDS? IF SO, WHAT FACTS WERE FOUND, WHAT...

1) FRONT PASSENGER SEAT DOES NOT LOCK IN PLACE. SEAT SLIDES ALL THE WAY TO THE FRONT WHEN I BRAKE. MY PASSENGERS HAVE TO QUICKLY BRING THEIR ARMS FOWARD TO STOP THEMSELVES FROM HITTING THE DASHBOARD; ONE TIME MY PASSENGER HAND HIT HER EYE IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO STOP THE SEAT FROM HITTING THE DASHBOARD. 2) SRS INDICATOR LIGHT COME ON WHEN I JUST PLACE A LIGHT PURSE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS A 2001 HONDA ACCORD V6 WITH ONLY 15,000 MILES. 3) THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS TO NHTS REGARDING THIS SRS LIGHT MALFUNCTION. WHEN WILL NHTS DO A RECALL? THE DEALERS WANT TO CHARGE ME TO LOOK INTO THE SEAT NOT LOCKING IN PLACE, AND THE SRS LIGHT.*AK

AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT THE SRS MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ,AND IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL. CONSUMER ANTICIPATED THE AIR BAGS MAY DEPLOY INADVERTENTLY WHILE DRIVING OR NOT DEPLOY IN A VEHICLE CRASH.*AK

THE DASHBOARD AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I JUST PLACE MY PURSE ON THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT, OR IF I PLACE A HEAVY BAG ON THE FLOOR AND IT LEANS AGAINST THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT. BROWSING THROUGH YOUR SITE COMPLAINTS, I NOTICE THAT MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON. THE COMPLAINT STATES THAT THE DEALER WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING, THAT PERSON HAD AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG NEVER WENT OFF. HAS ANYTHING CHANGED SINCE THE COMPLAINT WAS FILED WHERE THE DEALER WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM AT NO CHARGE TO ME?*AK

SRS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON 10/15/2004 WHEN I STARTED ENGINE IN THE MORNING AND THE LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER THAT. CAR IS MAINTAINED IN GOOD CONDITION ALWAYS, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE CAR AND IT RAN FINE. TALKED TO DEALERS AND ALL SAID THEY NEED TO DIAGNOSE FOR A CHARGE OF 80-100$. I TOOK THE CAR TO CORAL SPRINGS HONDA ON 10/22/2004 AND THEY SAID SRS UNIT IS BAD AND THEY CHARGED 516.00 $ TO REPLACE IT. I HAD TO PAY AND REPLACE THE SRS UNIT (FP NO. 77960-S84-A75, DTC 07-2 SRS UNIT, 6490148). IT SEEMS THIS IS A GENERIC FAILURES AS SHOWN BY MANY COMPLAINTS HERE. HONDA SHOULD PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM FIX AND CUSTOMERS SHOULDN'T BE BURDENED WITH THIS REPLACEMENT COST!*AK

THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON. DEALER STATED THAT CONSUMERS' CELL PHONE ON THE SEAT MADE THE LIGHT GO ON. DEALER SHOWED CONSUMER A PAPER, STATING THAT THE ELECTRONIC DEVICES CAUSED PROBLEMS WITH AIR BAGS. THE CONSUMER PAID $300.00 FOR THE REPAIRS.*AK

SRS LIGHT ON. FOUND CODE 15-3 OPDS SENSOR FAILURE. NEW SENSOR REQUIRED AT A COST OF $421. *AK

SRS LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY ON. TOOK IT TO DEALER, WAS CHARGED $68 TO BE TOLD IT'S A 7-2 PROBLEM AND HAVE THE LIGHT RESET. AS SOON AS I STARTED UP THE CAR, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WAS TOLD IT WOULD NEED A NEW CONTROL UNIT REPLACEMENT THAT WOULD COST ALMOST $500! MY CAR HAS NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS TO CAUSE THIS -- NO ACCIDENTS, NO LOW BATTERY, NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, NOTHING. SEEMS MUCH TO SOON TO HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS GO "OUT."

IN MARCH OF 2003, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE GROCERY STORE, MY HUSBAND SWERVED AND THEN STOPPED (WITHOUT ANY COLLISION) AND THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAG OF OUR 2001 HONDA ACCORD EX DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. WE WERE INSTRUCTED BY HONDA SERVICE AT WHITE PLAINS, NY TO GO THROUGH OUR INSURANCE, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THE REASON THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WAS DUE TO FAULTY AIR BAG SENSORS IN OUR CAR'S COMPUTER. FIVE WEEKS LATER, WE GOT OUR CAR BACK FROM THE SHOP. NOW, A YEAR LATER, OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AT THE TIME (PROGRESSIVE) HAS ADVISED US TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE NHTSA TO FILE A COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA. TO THIS DATE, THE SRS LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD STILL COMES ON WITH NO EXPLANATION, AND THE GREENWICH AND WHITE PLAINS HONDA DEALERSHIPS WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. MEANWHILE, I FEEL UNSAFE DRIVING THE CAR AND HAVE...
