1. (THE EVENTS) MOVING THE DRIVER'S SEAT FORWARD FOR MY 5' TALL WIFE AND MOVING THE SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK WHEN I DRIVE, I AM 6' TALL, THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON. 2. (THE FAILURE) AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT, HAPPENS ALL THE TIME, FROM JUST MINUTES AT A TIME TO DAYS AT A TIME, A FAILURE OF THE SPS CAUSES THE AIR BAG SYSTEM TO DEFAULT TO FULL INFLATION PRESSURE, REGARDLESS OF THE SEAT POSITION. 3. (CORRECTIONS MADE) NONE. I NOTICED A RECALL FOR THIS CAR 'NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V001000' AND CONTACTED HONDA MOTOR CO. FOR RECALL REPAIR INFORMATION, THEY CHECKED MY VIN NUMBER AND SAID THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THIS CAR. I CONNECTED MY OBD2 SCANNER TO THE CAR AND THERE WERE NO CODES. I AM NOT ALONE, CHECKING DIFFERENT HONDA FORUMS, THERE ARE MANY HONDA OWNERS WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

THE AIR BAG SENSOR LIGHT FOR OUR 2004 HONDA ACCORD IS ON ALMOST ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING. SOMETIMES GOES OFF, SOMETIMES JUST STAY ON THE WHOLE TIME WE DRIVE. I BELIEVE IT'S UNDER THE AIR BAG RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #07V001000), BUT WHEN WE CALL THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT IN THE RECALL LIST. I NEED TO KNOW WHY OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE LIST AND WE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM THAT'S. *TR

OVER THE PAST 10 MONTHS, STARTING APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2009, THE AIR LIGHT IN MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EXL WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON THEN GO BACK OFF. MORE RECENTLY, IT COMES ON A DAILY BASIS. WHEN I BUCKLE MY SEATBELT AND START THE CAR IT MAY APPEAR AND STAY ON THE ENTIRE TIME WHILE DRIVING. THEN WHEN I STOP AND TURN OFF THE CAR THEN TURN IT BACK ON, THE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT SHOW UP AGAIN. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V001000 FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORD. "COMPONENT: AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE SEAT POSITION SENSOR (SPS) DETECTS THE DRIVER'S SEATING POSITION AND ADJUSTS THE AIR BAG INFLATION PRESSURE ACCORDINGLY. THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE SPS WAS ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME IN THE WRONG LOCATION AND MAY HAVE BEEN OVER TIGHTENED. THE SENSOR WIRE MAY BREAK AND CAUSE THE AIR BAG WARNING...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA ACCORD. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE FRONTAL AIR BAGS WERE INOPERATIVE. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE AIR BAGS MAY NOT DEPLOY. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 07V001000 (AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE); THEREFORE, THE CONTACT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 39,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 41,000. 8/7/09 *CN UPDATED 08/11/09.*JB

AIR BAGS: FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY ON JULY 22, 2008. SUBSEQUENT EXAMINATION BY HONDA DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT REVEALED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS FOR THE SPS WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO THE SEAT FRAME WAS BROKEN. DEALER DENIED ANY RESPONSIBILITY, AS HAD HONDA AMERICA, DESPITE THE FACT THAT A RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM WAS ISSUED 1/2/2007 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 07V001000). THEY CLAIM THAT MY CAR'S VIN # WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL WHICH MAKES ME RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM. *TR

ON MAY 14, 2008, I BROUGHT MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER BECAUSE THE SRS (AIRBAG) INDICATOR CAME ON AND REMAINED ON DURING OPERATION. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $263 FOR REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I BELIEVE THAT THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING NHTSA RECALL (07V001000) THAT SPECIFICALLY REFERS TO THE SRS INDICATOR AND PROBLEMS WITH THE WIRING HARNESS FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORD MODELS. MY SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE VIN ON MY CAR DID NOT FALL IN THE VIN RANGE FOR THE RECALL, BUT THE DOCUMENTATION FOR NHTSA RECALL 07V001000 DOES NOT SPECIFY A RANGE OF VINS FOR 2004 MODELS, ONLY FOR 2005 MODELS. I AM ASKING THAT THE NHTSA CLARIFY AND/OR EXPAND THE VIN RANGE FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORDS TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE AND THAT THE DEALER REIMBURSE ME...

I NEED SOME HELP WITH A RECALL PROBLEM, I OWN A 2004 HONDA ACCORD, AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A MONTH AGO, THERE WAS A RECALLED FROM HONDA FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND I WAS TOLD THAT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL. THEY WERE REFUSING TO FIX IT, THEY WANTED ME TO PAY FOR THE SENSOR. ALTHOUGH IT WAS THE SAME SENSOR THAT WAS RECALLED BY HONDA, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS VEHICLE BEING THE SAME MODEL AND SAME YEAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL. *AK

VEHICLE AIR BAG SENSORS ARE FAILING. MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD V-6 HAS HAD THE AIR BAG SENSOR FAIL TWICE WITHIN THE FIRST 36,000 MILES. I'M TOLD BY HONDA THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHEN I ASKED IF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM WOULD STILL WORK I WAS TOLD NO AND THAT I SHOULD DRIVE CAREFULLY AND AVOID ACCIDENTS. *NM

RE: FAULTY SAFETY FEATURE OF THE HONDA ACCORD LX-G MODEL. *BF THE CONSUMER THE SIDE AIR BAG OFF LIGHT DID NOT SIGNAL AN IMPROPER LEANING OF A PASSENGER AGAINST THE WINDOW. THE SAFETY FEATURE IS PROVIDED FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER AGAINST FACIAL INJURY DURING SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. *JB
