I have an srs light illuminated on my dashboard. Upon researching this, it is apparently a sensor issue which, when the light is on, indicates that the sensor in the seat - belt is malfunctioning, and this will keep the air bags from deploying. This of course is a serious safety issue. Also, in reviewing the warranty information, it states that all seat-belt issues are under a lifetime warranty. I'm wondering if you could provide confirmation of this. Thank you, randal steadman.

Acura says they guarantee all parts of the safety belt for the use of a lifetime of the car. Car has 120000 miles on it. I have intermittent buckling issues and srs airbag switch is bad inside a sealed safety belt. Could easily be remedied if it wasn't a sealed unit. They say they won't fix it because it's a canadian car even though it's spent 100% of its owned life in the united states. They want an excessive amount of money, over $400 to fix it. I feel my safety is being held hostage by this excessive amount and I can't even do it myself because my electric seats won't work if I try, only factory software can reset them so they work. I know this is a known problem but I don't understand why I'm being discriminated against because I have a canadian made car. I know they have to pass all the same production regulations for safety to enter the united states whether they're made in canada or here. What I'm really hoping for is that the government would try to put a stop to this corporate greed of engineering products poorly and not following through with a fix and trying to profit off of people that don't have that much money. I would be willing to pay for this fix if they would provide it at a fair price. The safety belt probably cost them no more than $20 but by the time everyone makes their profit and it comes to me and then add the labor together we're over $400 to have my safety back when they say that they guarantee their safety belts for life in the united states. It is in my owner's manual, and you can find this information online. I was hoping that they would be issued a major fine to make it so they don't treat other customers this way as well. I know there are probably reasons to seal a safety belt so that it is not tampered with but they used to make specialty tools so we could be accessed easily for Cleaning and changing of these inexpensive switches.

The vehicle was involved in fatality which was my brother, they cannot explain why the vehicle entered into a skid on a pretty straight part of the highway not sure if it was a powertrain issue as I did see a recall after I did some research following the accident. The other issue is the mechanism on how the driver safety belt attaches to the frame as that was damaged on first impact which caused my brother to be ejected. Something as important as a safety should not be compromised so easily.

When the passenger seat belt was fastened, the supplemental restraint system (srs) warning light lit up. The srs light remained on until I erased the scs by entering the appropriate memory erase signal. After the passenger seat belt was buckled again, the srs light came on again requiring another scs erasure to turn it off. After every scs erasure to turn the srs light off, it turns back on every time the passenger seat buckle is fastened. It is my understanding that in this car (2001 Acura Cl type s), the air bag deployment system is inactivated whenever the srs light is on.

The contact owns a 1999 Acura Cl. The contact stated that the vehicle was recently repaired for a seat belt failure. Most recently, the contact was parked on an incline when the contact attempted to latch the drivers seat belt but it became stuck. After several attempts, the vehicle was moved to a flat road surface where the seat belt dislodged independently and the contact was able to restrain himself with the seat belt. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times for the failure and the seat belts were replaced twice. The contact stated he did not experience the failure until the dealer replaced the seat belt. The failure mileage was 56,000 and the current mileage was 58,216. Updated 04/05/lj.
