As crazy as it sounds ,I just had the takata recalled air bag replaced several weeks ago in my Honda from takata. Today November 6th I was involved in a front end collision going around 35mph on a state highway. The new replaced air bag on the drivers side steering wheel never deployed but the passenger air bag did deploy. The tow truck driver said he has never seen just a passenger air bag go off and not the drivers bag go off to. The drivers air bag never deployed is there a problem with this new air bag from takata not going off or an installation issue?. The air bag was replaced by Smart Honda dealership in des moines iowa several week ago. The car is at impound right now at the towing company it is not going anywhere because of the damage to the car. There is a police report of the accident. . . Thx.

To Honda corporation recall department on June 19 2014 I was driving my 2001 Honda Accord coupe when I was suddenly hit by a delivery truck who was trying to make an illegal left turn in front of me. My car was total. The front side and passenger side of my car are totally demolished. The irony of it all is that, the front and the side air bag failed to deploy. And as the result I was severely injured without the protection of the air bag. On March 2015 which is almost a year after my accident I received an air bag recall letter from Honda corporation. I should have received the warning and recall letter before my accident which is June 19 20014. Honda corporation is responsible for my injuries for making a defaulted air bag and failed to warn me about the situation before my accident. I am asking the maker of Honda to pay for my outstanding medical bills which is incurred due to the accident. I still have my Honda. Honda corporation refuse to reply to my letter. That's why I am making this complaint to the Honda corporation truly samson tesfasion 444 lucas avenue #11 los angeles, CA 90017 (213)481-1917.

The srs light came on in my Accord, make a long story short I took it to the dealer and they run a test on it. Told me that if it was the air-bag that was causing the light to come on then it would be fixed at no cost due to a safety malfunction, they run the test and it came back that it was the wires leading to the air bag but not the actual bag itself having the problem. But they told me that if the srs light was on at all the air bags would not deploy at all. So is that not a safety issue as well?.

I own a 2001 Honda Accord ex v6 sedan. The srs light on it went on a few months ago. It always stayed on causing the risk of airbags not deploying. After doing a lot of research and repeatedly checking for recalls, found out that it was a very common problem with the Honda vehicles. I finally went to the dealership and had it fixed. They mentioned that the driver seatbelt buckle was causing a short circuit and it was covered under the extended warranty.

Upon contacting Honda customer service, they informed me that my VIN number is not covered by the extended warranty of 10 years or 150,000 miles.

The srs light in my 2001 Honda Accord has come on and wont go off. The airbags have never been deployed before in the car and after some searching have found that this is a common problem with the year make model of car. Also I was horrified to find out that the airbags will not deploy if the srs light is on due to a sensor failure. This endangers my life and the life of anyone who drives the vehicle and since airbags are required in a vehicle shouldn't there be a lifetime warranty on airbags??? it cost up to 700 dollars to replace the unit. So because of a bad design I can't have a system in my vehicle determined by the dot to be required repaired if it fails due to no fault of my own. I am outraged and there should be something done about this immediately.

2001 Accord lx has 59,000 miles on it. Two weeks ago the srs light came on for no reason. Did some research and discovered this is a very common problem with these cars. The airbags will not deploy while this light is on. Serious safety issue .

I have a 2001 Honda Accord, 2 years ago the srs light came on and stayed on. I took the car to the dealer and they charged me $118. 00 to reset it. This year, September 2008 the light came on again and has stayed on. It is a known problem with Honda dealer , yet they will not cover the cost of getting this fixed. Now my passenger airbag will not deploy. I have seen many complaints about this same problem. It should be covered by the manufacturer, obviously it is a defect.

My srs light keeps coming on. Honda said it will cost $1500 to replace. ( not covered under warranty ) they indicated that in a crash the drivers side airbag will not deploy.

Srs light on, based on the information available to me I believe the airbags will fail to deploy when the srs light is illuminated. Honda does not cover the repair as they feel airbags are a secondary safety feature, however the fact that it had airbags and a good safety rating played a large part in my decision to purchase the 2001 Accord. If manufacturers are going to exploit positive safety reviews I feel they should cover them for the life of the vehicle so long as the fault is detected by a manufacturer installed on board computer, I. E. Srs light on. My wife and two kids are the primary occupants of this vehicle, it is important to me that the safety features are functional.

I own 2 Honda (accord ex 1996, Accord lx 2001) on both of them and for no obvious reason the srs (airbag) light started coming on and off sporadically until lately stated on for ever. The airbag on both cars has never been deployed. The dealer charge $90 per vehicle just for diagnosing the problem.

Honda Accord 2001 lx, 40000 miles. 1. Since two months ago, srs light is constantly on. 2. I understand that while srs light is 'on', driver airbag will not deploy. 3. I was told by the Honda dealership that this car is not covered under an extended warranty and that I will be responsible for inspection and repair of this problem. I found out that this particular problem is a common one among Honda owners. It should not cost owners to inspect and repair a defect that Honda is responsible for (and already aware).

After starting my 2001 Honda Accord the srs light came on and will not stay off. This light indicates that the air bags will not deploy in a major collision. I went to my dealer and spoke with the maintenance supervisor and he indicated that this was a very common problem with this model of automobile. He also said that Honda does not have a recall or extended warranty for this problem. Reading the internet chat rooms shows that there are hundreds of people with this same problem. In fact many owners indicated that after they were involved in a collision their airbags never did deploy even after the srs light was reset by their dealer. The cost of the repair, for me, will be from $1000 to $1500. I am a senior citizen and cannot afford to have this repaired at this time. I understand that the seat belts have a lifetime warranty but not the airbags. I feel the airbags should be treated the same as the seat belts and have the same warranty. At the very least Honda should recognize this problem they have with this model and give the owners an extended warranty to cover these repairs. This is a major problem and should be addressed as there are many owners that are driving these defective Honda Accords and if involved in a collision their Honda's airbags will not inflate. Please look into this and have Honda take responsibility for this problem and give some relief to all the owners of this model automobile.

The srs light turned on last week at 75000 miles, and I know that it is related to the airbag restraint system. My husband had the same problem couple of years ago , and the dealer told him that the use of cellophane may have caused the system to malfunction. The dealer fixed it for free because the car was still under the 36000 mile warranty. After doing some investigation I found out that this problem was very common for the 2001 models. I also found out that this problem was very costly and was no longer under warranty. I got into a car accident in March 2007, the front end of my car slid into a snow bank, and I am thankful that the damage was not major. The air bags never deployed . The srs light turned on a couple of weeks after the accident, and I was not sure if I ever had any protection at the time of the accident, since the airbags never deployed. Now every time I get into my car I am very nervous because my life behind the wheel of this Honda was at stake. I do not have any money to buy another car or fix get the current issue. Honda should issue a recall on this!! peoples lives were in danger when they were on the road, and this should not be taken lightly by anyone. I am a mother, a wife, a sister, and a daughter. My life has value. Please look into this. Thank you .

Honda Accord 2001. Srs indicator light on for months now with no apparent trigger (no accidents, previous airbag deployment). Brought to Honda dealer - charged $90 diagnostics which resulted that airbag control unit was broken. Replaced at outside mechanic with original Honda parts for $400, however srs light remained on despite correcting stated diagnostic problem. Argued to return part because problem was not resolved, which was finally done, but dealership states that needs another $90 diagnostic to find the problem again - back to square one. Concerned with safety issue of airbags not deployed in case of an accident, which appears to have occurred to other consumers. Very concerned with regards Honda company in their lack of concern with their product and safety of their consumers!.

My son had an accident while driving my 2001 Honda Accord. The driver airbag did not deploy, but the passenger airbag did deploy, even though there was not a passenger in the vehicle. Also, the seat belts locked up. The accident was on 12-2-06 and I have tried two different dealerships to find out why the driver airbag did not deploy. They will not give me an explaination and they will not fix the seatbelts until I replace the airbags, which I cannot afford.

Both occupants in the vehicle sustained minor injuries and a police report was taken. The vehicle was towed to a salvage yard. Later, the insurance company deemed the vehicle totaled.
