2001 HONDA CIVIC Air Bagsfrontalsensorcontrol Module Problems

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATED, WHICH INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAG WAS MALFUNCTIONING. THE DEALER COULD NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT IF THE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN, A DECISION WOULD HAVE TO BE MADE ON WHETHER TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG OR DRIVE WITHOUT ONE. THE MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE REGARDING THE REPAIRS. THE CONTACT FEELS THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 79,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. UPDATED 08/19/09 *BF THE DEALER RESET THE LIGHT, HOWEVER A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AGAIN. UPDATED 08/20/09.*JB

I AM REQUESTING THE CURRENT LIST OF SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING MY AIR BAGS SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY VIN NUMBER. TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO REPLACE THIS PIECE ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC. THERE ARE 2 NHTSA ITEM # 623328 AND 619975 FOR THE CONTROL MODULE FOR THE 2001 CIVIC AND OTHERS BULLETINS FOR OTHER HONDA CONTROL MODULES OF THE SAME YEAR. I WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THAT LIST. CAN YOU HELP ME? *TR

I JUST NOTICED THE SRS INDICATOR IS ON WITHOUT OBVIOUS REASON. IT MIGHT BE CAUSED BY HEAVY LOPTOP BAG IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. MY CAR IS HONDA CIVIC EX 2001. THE DEALER ASKS $115 TO DIAGNOSIS ONLY, NEEDLESS TO SAY FIX. THE NATURE OF THE DEFECT IS SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA SHOULD EITHER TO MAKE THE DESIGN OR HAVE THIS PART IN THE LIFE TIME WARRANTY. *TR

BRAKES NEVER WORKED RIGHT, FELT LIKE NOT STOPPING QUICK ENOUGH, HAD REPLACED 3 OR 4 TIMES SINCE 2001, BUT TO THIS DAY, WHEN STOPPING SUDDENLY WITH BRAKE PEDAL FULLY TO FLOOR, CAR DOESN'T WANT TO STOP & IS SCARY. WAS REAR ENDED,RADIO & SPEAKERS QUIT WORKING, REPLACED & ALARM QUIT WORKING, HAD TO HAVE IT COMPLETELY REMOVED & HAD DAMAGED FLY WHEEL. ALARM MALFUNCTION WAS CAUSING CAR TO RUN IN "SAFE MODE" AND CAR WAS USING TOO MUCH GAS. THE GAS INDICATOR IS NOT ACCURATE, AND SLOW TO ADJUST TO EMPTY OR FULL LEVELS, EVEN WHEN IN PERFECT WEATHER. EVEN NOW I AM CERTAIN THAT I DO NOT GET GOOD GAS MILEAGE IN CITY OR HIGHWAY DRIVING & FEEL THIS CAR IS VASTLY OVERRATED IN EVERY WAY! SRS INDICATOR LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON FOR 3 YEARS NOW, RED IN COLOR, I NEVER KNEW THIS WAS A PROBLEM BEFORE READING BULLETINS...

I OWN A 2001 HONDA CIVIC. AT 45,000 MILES THE SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM LIGHT CAME ON. SINCE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR INVESTIGATING AND REPAIRING THE DEFECT. HOWEVER, HONDA DISPUTED THIS. IF THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY OR SEAT BELTS DIDN'T WORK SERIOUS INJURY COULD BE INCURRED.*AK

I AM THE ORIGINAL BUYER OF HONDA CIVIC 2001 4DR AND SRS LIGHT GOES ON FREQUENTLY. AS LONG AS THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY DEALER USED TO FIX IT WITHOUT ANY CHARGE. LAST TIME IN 2004 I GOT IT FIXED BY THE DEALER. AT THAT TIME CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, BUT AS THE PROBLEM EXISTED BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF WARRANTY THEY FIXED IT. SRS LIGHT PROBLEM REAPPEARED IN MARCH 2007 , AND WHEN I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, HE SAID THAT PROBLEM WAS NOT THE SAME. HE STATED THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG IN SEAT BACK SENSOR. *AK DEALER IS AWARE OF THE RECALL ON SRS FROM HONDA...AND NOW HE IS NOT WILLING TO HELP ME. I NEVER HAD ANY ACCIDENT. THERE IS SOME INHERENT PROBLEM WITH SRS IN THIS CAR. DEALER WANTS ME TO PAY $600 TO FIX IT. THIS THE 6TH TIME SRS LIGHT IS ON.

2001 HONDA CIVIC SRS LIGHT IS ON. VEHICLE HAS DIAGNOSTIC CODES 15-3 AND 15-1. VEHICLE NEEDS OPDS SENSOR AND CONTROL UNIT VEHICLE HAS 60,000 MILES AND IS OUT OF WARRANTY REPAIR IS OVER $1000 HONDA SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THIS SAFETY AND REPAIR IT FOR FREE - I UNDERSTAND IT IS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON 2001 HONDA CIVICS. *JB

SRS LIGHT LIGHTS UP AT REGULAR INTERVAL, DEALER RESETS COMPUTER AND IT GOES OFF AND THEN COMES BACK AGAIN AFTER SOMETIME (IRREGULARLY). A SAFETY CONCERN AS AIR BAGS GOES OFF DURING THIS TIME, IF THIS HAPPENS MOMENTS BEFORE A CRASH THAT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2001 CIVIC-EX CAME ON AT 75K MILES. I HAVE RESET THE SYSTEM ABOUT 10 TIME AN THE LIGHT ALWAYS COMES ON. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED I UNBUCKLED MY SEAT BELT AND THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON. *JB

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC HAS COME ON ON AT LEAST THREE OCCASIONS. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY SO THE DEALERSHIP FIXED IT. THE SECOND TIME, IT CAME ON IN JUNE 2004, THE CAR WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS SRS UNIT FAILURE AND I SPENT CLOSE TO $400 TO REPLACE IT FROM THE DEALER. THE LIGHT CAME ON ANOTHER TIME IN 2005 BUT IT TURNED OFF AFTER A COUPLE OF DAYS. THIS TIME, IN SEPT 2006, THE LIGHT HAS COME ON ALL OF A SUDDEN. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM FACED BY MOST HONDA CIVIC AND ACCORD OWNERS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A GAVE SAFETY ISSUES SINCE THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE AIR BAGS WONT DEPLOY IF THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. I FEEL HONDA IS NOT MAKING ENOUGH...

THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULDN'T GO OFF> I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER WHERE IT WAS RESET FOR A $30 DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE INDICATED A LOW VOLTAGE SITUATION AND INDICATED THAT THE BATTERY TESTED FINE. HE ASKED IF I DID ANYTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED THE PROBLEM AND I TOLD HIM THAT I HAD CHANGED NOTHING IN THE WAY I OPERATED THE CAR. AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE ON YOUR SITE, IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON AFFLICTION WITH HONDA'S THAT HAS NOT BEEN ADEQUATELY ADDRESSED BY THE MANUFACTURER AND TO REPLACE THE UNIT WOULD BE EXPENSIVE FOR THE OWNER. HONDA SHOULD RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. *JB

THE "SRS" LIGHT ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX CAME ON A FEW MONTHS AGO WITHOUT ANY APPARENT REASON AND HAS NOT TURNED OFF. ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS INDICATES THAT THERE IS SOME TYPE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG / SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM. AS FAR AS I KNOW, HONDA COVERS ONLY SEAT BELTS FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. AIRBAGS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SO IMPORTANT (AND ARE NEVER USED UNLESS IN A CRASH); I CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHY THEY DO NOT COVER THESE VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY DEVICES. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY AS LONG AS THAT "SRS" LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS A SAD DAY FOR ALL AMERICANS. WHO CAN AFFORD TO PAY TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED????? I KNOW I CAN'T. IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH HONDAS. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A RECALL BEFORE PEOPLE GET...

THE SRS SENSOR LIGHT STAYS ON IN MY 2001 CIVIC -- THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY TO FIX -- IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR. I ONLY HAVE 33,000 MILES ON THE CAR. IN READING THE OTHER COMPLAINTS -- I SEE THAT IT IS A GROWING PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL AND YEAR OF HONDA -- A RECALL WOULD BENEFIT ALL SINCE IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. *JB

HONDA CIVIC 2001 SRS LIGHT WILL NOT SHUT OFF - DEALER CAN'T FIX - SAY AIR BAGS DON'T WORK WHEN LIGHT IS ON. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX CAME ON UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE CAR. THERE WAS NO CRASH, NO FRONT END DAMAGE...IT JUST CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND TOLD ME THAT IF IT CAME ON AGAIN, I WOULD HAVE TO HAVE THE ENTIRE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED AS THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT WORK. THIS WOULD COST ME IN EXCESS OF $800. WHILE IT WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK A FEW WEEKS LATER, THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. AGAIN, NO DAMAGE. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 25,000 MILES ON IT. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME NOW. *NM

SRS LIGHT REMAINS ON IN MY VEHICLE. VISITED FORUMS THAT DISCUSSED SAME PROBLEMS IN OTHER CIVIC EX VEHICLES (ALSO ODYSSEY AND ACCORD MODELS). APPARENTLY IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM PERMANENTLY. *NM

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME / AIRBAGS DO NOT FUNCTION. *NM

MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC LX 4 DOOR SRS LIGHT CAME ON THIS MORNING AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH LOTS OF HONDA CIVICS. HONDA NEEDS TO DECLARE THIS ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THE PROBLEM, WITHOUT CHARGING THE CUSTOMER DIAGNOSTIC FEES. *JB

I AM THE SECOND OWNER AND HAVE OWNED MY FIRST (HONDA) CIVIC EX FOR NEARLY TWO YEARS IN MARCH OF 2006. ONE DAY AFTER WORK I GOT HOME, ATE THEN I JUMPED IN TO MY HONDA AND THE SRS CAME UP. AS I RESEARCH MORE , IT CAME TO BE THE AIR BAGS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO THE APPROPRIATE DEALER BUT AFTER READING ALL THE BLOCS WITH THESE PROBLEMS, I HOPE THERE IS A DEFECT REPLACEMENT FROM HONDA. THIS ITEM IS NOT EVEN BEING USED AS A FUNCTIONING PART OTHER THAN SENSOR OR SO. I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT A WINDOW THAT I WOULD USE ALL THE TIME. IT IS A PRODUCT THAT IS NOT IN FUNCTION IN NORMAL USE OTHERWISE I WOULD TAKE MY END OF THE BARGAIN AND REPLACE IT.*AK

SRS SENSOR FAILURE IN PASSENGER SEAT. THE VEHICLE IS NOT EVEN 5 YRS. OLD YET. I DO NOT KNOW HOW LONG SRS SENSORS ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST, BUT ACCORDING TO THE WARRANTY COMPANY, WHICH DID NOT COVER REPLACEMENT OF THE INEFFECTIVE DEVICE, THIS PART DOES NOT TYPICALLY GO OUT ON A HONDA. I FEEL, IN THE CASE THAT THE LIFETIME OF THIS PIECE OF EQUIPMENT WAS SHORTER THAN EXPECTED, THAT THIS COULD POSE A POTENTIAL THREAT IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. AS I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER, THE SRS SENSOR DETECTS WHETHER A PASSENGER IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. OBVIOUSLY WHEN THE SENSOR IS FAILING TO DETECT A PASSENGER THE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ABLE TO AFFORD THE REPAIR BUT I HAVE CONCERN FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT. IN ADDITION, I FEEL IT IS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR...

DT: THE CONTACT'S SON NOTICED THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN ANY PREVIOUS ACCIDENTS, AND THERE WERE NO PRIOR WARNINGS INDICATING A PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THE MODULE CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REPAIRED. *AK

SRS LIGHT STAYS ON ALL OF THE TIME. WHEN I TOOK IT TO BRADENTON HONDA FOR OTHER ISSUES, THEY CEHCKED IT, RESET THE COMPUTER AND SAID IF IT CAME ON AGAIN, TO BRING IT BACK IN. IT HAS COME ON AGAIN AND STAYS ON. IN REVIEWING YOUR COMPLAINTS, SEEMS IT IS AN INCREASING PROBLEM FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL OF HONDA. *NM

THE SRS LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY STAYS ON EVEN AFTER RESETTING. AFTER READING MANY EXPERIENCES FROM OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES AND PROBLEMS, WILL ANYTHING BE DONE TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. MY LOCAL DEALER CLAIMS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CAUSED BY MY CELLULAR PHONE EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT ALWAYS HAVE MY PHONE IN MY VEHICLE. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND TRY TO GET THIS PROBLEM CORRECTED. *NM

ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO MY SRS LIGHT CAME ON. I HAVE BEEN WEARY TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY SEEM TO HAVE NO ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. APPARENTLY THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. *NM

DT: THE CALLER SAID AIR BAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON. SHE SAID SHE HAD IT CHECKED THREE TIMES ALREADY, AND NOW HAS TO HAVE IT CHECKED AGAIN. THE CALLER SAID THE SRS SENSOR WAS REPLACED IN 2002, AND HAD NOT HAD PROBLEM UNTIL NOW. DEALER SAID THEY WILL NOT LOOK AT VEHICLE FOR FREE. MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN CONTACTED YET. THE CALLER WAS CONCERNED ABOUT AIR BAG NOT WORKING WHEN LIGHT WAS ON. *AK

SRS LIGHT WENT ON FOR NO REASON. AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN ACCIDENT HONDA WANTS TO CHARGE $700 TO FIX. THEY SAY THEY ITS A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE BUT IT SHOULD HAVE LASTED AT LEAST 100,000 MILES NOT 68,000 MILES. *JB

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC EX. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SRS LIGHT. I HAVE TALKED TO HOWARD NATHAN AT TURN TO 2 ( WDTN ) ABOUT THIS. THE PROBLEM STIMS FROM AN ELECTRONIC INTERFERENCE ( CELL PHONE , LAP TOP ETC ) BUT IT WAS MY PHONE. I BOUGHT THE CAR ( 6/2/05 ) AND THE LIGHT WAS ON AND THEN I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT. THEY FIXED IT AND 2 WEEKS LATER IT CAME BACK ON. THEY FIXED IT WELL IN THE SAME WEEK THE LIGHT CAME ON AND I TOLD THEM AND I SET UP AN APPT FOR WEDNESDAY ( 7/7 ) AND THEY TOOK IT TO HIDY HONDA. AFTER CHARGING THE DEALSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT 80 BUCKS ALL THEY BASICALLY DID WAS DELETE THE CODE OUT OF THE SYSTEM AND NOPTHING ELSE. I EMAILED HOWARD NATHAN AND...

SRS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON FOR NO REASON. HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES AND HONDA WON'T "FIX" IT. AIRBAGS DON'T WORK WHEN LIGHT IS ON AND CAR WILL NOT PASS VA STATE INSPECTION WITH LIGHT ON. HONDA CHARGES OVER $85.00 TO RUN DIAGNOSIS BUT EACH TIME FINDS NOTHING WRONG AND JUST RESETS THE LIGHT. WHY WON'T HONDA FIX THIS PROBLEM.

SRS LIGHT COMES ON AND DOES NOT GO OFF. IF THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT, THE AIR BAGS WOULD NOT FUNCTION. WE WERE TOLD TO KEEP WALLETS OFF THE SEAT AND CELL PHONES OUT OF THE CAR. IS THERE ANY RESOURSE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED. THE DEALER HAS RESET AND CHARGED US THREE TIMES AND HAS NOT YET FIXED THE PROBLEM.

THE SRS LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING AND REMAINED ON. DRIVER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT A SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON WITH NO ONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT. TRIED TO RE-SET ACCORDING TO MANUAL AND DISCONNECTED BATTERY FOR 3 MINUTES. NO GOOD. THE CAR ONLY HAS 50K ON IT AND TALKING TO OTHER HONDA OWNERS IT IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM. I HAVE AN EXPENSIVE CAR AND I DON'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS WILL WORK PROPERLY WITHOUT TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SO HE CAN TAKE MY MONEY. *JB

SRS WARNING LIGHT WENT ON AFTER CAR WAS PARKED AT WORK ALL DAY. (ALSO SHORTLY AFTER WORK WAS DONE ON MY CAR FOR THE HEADLAMP RECALL) CALLED HONDA DEALER TO MAKE APPT AND ASKED IF AIRBAGS WOULD BE WORKING IF LIGHT WAS ON AND WAS TOLD YES. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. THEY RESET IT. $80 DIAGNOSTIC CHARGE. APPROX 2.5 DAYS LATER, THE SRS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. CALLED DEALER TO COMPLAIN. THEY SAID THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE SENSOR FOR APPROX $400. TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALER FOR REPAIR. GOT CALL FROM DEALER AS CAR WAS BEING WORKED ON. THE REPAIR WILL REQUIRE TWO SENSORS AND $800. WAS TOLD WHILE WARNING LIGHT IS ON, MY AIRBAGS DON'T WORK. *AK

2001 HONDA CIVIC EX, SRS LIGHT STAYS ON. CODE 15-3. OPD SYSTEM SENSOR WAS REPLACED 9/21/01 UNDER WARRANTY. LIGHT WENT BACK ON A SHORT TIME LATER. SOMEONE IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD MY DAUGHTER THAT IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT, BECAUSE THIS LIGHT SOMETIMES WENT ON FOR NO REASON. UNFORTUNATELY, HE DID NOT EXPLAIN THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED WHEN THIS LIGHT IS ON. SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING IT WITH THE LIGHT ON SINCE 2001. (SHE ASSUMED IT WAS ONLY A DUMMY LIGHT, LIKE "MAINTENANCE REQUIRED"). YESTERDAY, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CHARGED $79 TO DIAGNOSE THE SAME PROBLEM, AND WANT $810 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE SENSOR, SINCE IT IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. THIS MORNING, I DID A LITTLE RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET (WWW.AUTOFAN.COM/FORUM) AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH HONDA, AND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER HONDA CIVIC OWNERS WITH THE...

THE SRS LIGHT FOR THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMES ON. WHEN IT IS ON, THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK. I HAVE BROUGHT IT INTO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES PREVIOUSLY. TWICE THEY RESET THE LIGHT, THE THIRD TIME THEY REPLACED THE MODULE. THE LIGHT STAYED OFF FOR A SHORT WHILE, BUT HAS SINCE COME BACK ON. IF SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE LIGHT GOES OFF. IF NO ONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT THE LIGHT COMES ON. TODAY MY CAR IS BACK AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE LOOKING AT TRYING TO FIX IT. LOOKING AT THE OTHER REPORTS HERE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE RESEARCHED AND A RECALLED ISSUED AS IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

I HAVE TAKEN MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC HX TO THE DEALER ON MULTIPLE TIMES TO HAVE THE SRS LIGHT REPAIRED. THE FIRST TIME THEY RESET THE LIGHT AND IT CAME BACK ON IN A COUPLE OF DAYS. THE SECOND TIME THEY STATED THAT THE OPDS WAS MALFUNCTIONING PROBABLY DUE TO AFTERMARKET ELECTRONICS (CELL PHONE, RADIO, ETC). THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THE SAME DAY. THEY STATED THAT THE MODULE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AND IS NOT COVERED BY MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. WITH THE LIGHT ON MY AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK.*AK

THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AFTER LESS THAN 6 MONTH AFTER PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW. THE DEALER JUST RESET THE LIGHT AND IT WOULD COME ON WITHIN WEEKS AGAIN. IT TOOK THE DEALER 3 TIMES BEFORE ADMITTING THE SRS MODULE IS DEFECTIVE. THEN IT TOOK ANOTHER MONTH BEFORE THEY COULD OBTAIN THE PART AND REPLACED IT. WITHIN A YEAR, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND CLAIMED THE MODULE IS DEFECTIVE AGAIN AND WILL CAUSE $400 TO REPLACE IT.*JB

SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING. TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP-WAS TOLD IT WAS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM PROBABLY DUE TO SOMETHING PUT ON THE FRONT SEAT. COMPUTER WAS RESET & TWO WEEKS LATER LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN & THIS TIME SERVICE PERSON @ THE DEALER STATED THE AIRBAG SENSOR FAILED & WOULD BE VERY COSTLY TO REPAIR & IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY OR HONDA CARE(45,000 MILES ON VEHICLE).

CONSUMER STATES IN THE FIRST WEEK OF DRIVING THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. DEALERSHIP ADVISED THAT THE SENSOR HAD SIMPLY TIGGERED. AFTER FOUR ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR, THE SRS LIGHT WOULD COME ON INTERMITTENTLY. DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THERE WAS INDEED A PROBLEM WITH THE SRS SYSTEM, BUT THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWN FIX. *TT

THE SRS INDICATOR APPEARED IN THE DASH PANEL OF VEHICLE, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND INFORMED CONUMER THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEM, IT TOOK TWO FAILED CONTROL UNITS TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TWO SENSORS IN THE SYSTEM AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED.*JB

THE SRS INDICATOR APPEARED IN THE DASH PANEL OF VEHICLE, CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND INFORMED CONUMER THAT THERE WAS A FAULTY AIRBAG SYSTEM, IT TOOK TWO FAILED CONTROL UNITS TO DETERMINE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS THE TWO SENSORS IN THE SYSTEM AND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS RESOLVED.*JB

WAS DRIVING WHEN SRS LIGHT CAME ON & DID NOT BLINK. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP. FIRST TIME IT WAS THEIR FOR 2 WEEKS. 2ND TIME LIGHT WAS OFF 1 DAY, BUT CAME BACK ON.*AK

PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR 4TH TIME. TAKEN TO DEALER FOR REPAIRS. EVERY TIME DEALER SAID PROBLEM WAS REMEDIED, BUT LIGHT CONTINUED TO COME ON.*AK THE CONSUMER SAYS CLOCK CAN NOT BE SET BECAUSE THE LIGHT KEEPS FLASHING AS AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON. *YH
