1 Air Bag On-off Switch problem

Failure Date: 05/03/2013

Srs indicator remains on and it looks like it is due to faulty driver's seat belt buckle switch. This is issue recognized by the Honda via bulletin but refused to fix it.

Both Honda and dealer dulles Honda are refused to address this issue even though this is basic safety issue for the driver or passenger if air bag does not deploy.

2 Air Bag On-off Switch problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2012

I was pulling into the parking space after driving the vehicle for 45 mins (approx. 20 miles). When I was ready park the car and switch off the ignition, the car suddenly accelerated way too fast and hit the building in front. I was driving into the parking space at less than around 10 mph as I had to make 3 turns within 100 feet before coming into vacant parking space. My leg was also in the break pedal as I made those turns after getting into the private property from IL rte 83. I can definitely confirm that my leg was not in gas pedal as my right leg was on the break pedal to make those turns and stop the car in the parking space. It all happened in the matter of few seconds and there was no time to react. The car came to halt only after hitting the building. Both air bags deployed as soon as the car hit the building and there was heave smoke inside the car. It was really scary because by looking at the damage the speed at the time of accident looks to be around 50 mph. It was a relatively higher curb in front and the building was just 6 - 8 feet away from the curb, I was also driving into the parking space at less than 10 mph. I am really shocked to see this kind of unintended/sudden acceleration happen with Honda Accord cars which could prove to be fatal for the driver, passenger and pedestrian alike.

3 Air Bag On-off Switch problem

Failure Date: 09/01/2010

Srs light stays on. This indicates that the airbags may not deploy in an accident. Honda lifetime warranty for restraint system should cover this, but they don't. Seat belt switches were checked and ok so sensor needs to be replaced. Repair cost estimate: up tp $900. Why isn't NHTSA issueing a recall for this potential safety issue? look at the long list of complaints for this in the database!.

4 Air Bag On-off Switch problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2009

I have a 2000 Honda Accord. The "srs" light came on the dash and stays on whenever the ignition is on. I took it to the dealer and they told me it is a switch within the driver's side seat belt buckle. They told me the belt and the buckle are covered under the seat belt warranty but the switch is not covered and the diagnostic test is not covered either. The whole assembly is part of the safety system and should be covered along with the diagnostic test.

6 Air Bag On-off Switch problem

Failure Date: 12/15/2006

Srs light turned on spontaneously; Honda keeping diagnostic codes secret, so my local shop is unable to fix; could be simple seat belt switch, could be airbag failure; not with $150+ to check for simple seat belt switch. Solution is to make the codes accessible to the public instead of keeping them secret so customers can choose where to have the repairs done instead of forcing repairs at Honda dealership.

The srs light stays on in my 2000 Honda Accord. The Honda dealership stated they reset the switch the first time I took my car in to be fixed. The light came back on a few days later. I took it back to the Honda dealership a second time and they said a switch in the seat belt needed to be replaced. In the mean time, the dealership stated that the air bags in my car are not working because of the srs light being on.

10 Air Bag On-off Switch problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2004

I am having the same problem as many other owners are with the srs indicator light staying on. It sounds like everyone is getting their alternators changed at their personal cost, but then the light turns back on after a few days and the problem is not fixed. This is dangerous as the airbags will not work properly whilst the light is on. This problem needs to be addressed.
