Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2001 Honda Accord - part 2

The contact stated the srs indicator light came on without warning. The dealer inspected the vehicle and stated there was nothing wrong. The light sensor was rest. The light illuminated again within twenty four hours. The vehicle was not been returned to the dealer for repair at this time. The light was reset at the contact's own expense. The symptoms matched NHTSA investigation pe05043. Updated 11/15/2005.

My srs light came on in my 2001 Honda Accord has been on for about 2 weeks now and I went to go get it checked out. The dealer told me an attachment to the airbag and horn(doesn't work) would have to be replaced which he says would cost me $1000. I advised him not to fix the problem. Although, the same time the srs light came on my engine light has been on as well for the same amount of time. I had a friend advised me of complaints on the web of the srs light coming on in most 2001 Honda Accords. I looked into it and saw too many complaints about this but nothing has been done about it. There has been no recall regarding it and that may cost someone their live because of it. From what I'm reading on these reviews of the srs light it seems as though there will be no failure of the airbag but that's not what the manual says regarding the light. It states if the light comes on and stays on it may not deploy when needed for an accident. If that's the case then why is Honda risking people's lives and not fixing this problem! you can take money out someone's pocket but they won't have their live back! do something!.

2001 Honda Accord with 45000 miles. Srs red light on the dash that indicates the front airbags are likely disabled stays on. A Honda mechanic has tested for the error code and reset the srs twice. Both times the light came back on after starting the car. The code from his test indicates that the unit controlling the front air bags is the problem. Seems to me that part should not fail on a car this new with this few miles when it has never been involved in an accident.

The airbag system on our 2001 Honda Accord continues to malfunction. The srs light comes on. One opds sensor was replaced under warrenty, but now the dealer wants almost $700 every time it comes back on. When I complain, they just tell me I must have put something on the passenger seat, that it's my fault.

The yellow air bag light lights up intermittently. This has happened ever since the car was brand new, but now the frequency of this light activation is much greater. When there isn't anything on the front passenger seat the light will turn on by itself. When I then touch the passenger seats upper cushion (the backrest) with my hand it goes out. When I release the top cushion the light comes back on. This defect is most apparent during very humid days. Once the air conditioning has removed enough humidity from the passenger compartment the air bag light stays off.

2001 Honda Accord srs lamp remains lit. No accident or other events caused this to occur. Consequences of srs unit failure includes non-deployment of airbags in frontal/side impact. Diagnostic evaluation estimates parts replacement at $425.

On 7/28/05 my srs light came on for the 5th time in the 4. 5 years I've owned the car. This is my second filing with NHTSA on this issue. My dealer has been willing to replace and reset the sensor, but not before chastising me for placing my cell phone in proximately to the passenger seat. Although they have supporting documents from Honda on this "electronic interference" I find this difficult to believe as I drive my car less than a mile a day, many days I never use my car or cell phone in the car. It appears from the many posts here there is a problem with Honda Accord 2001 srs sensor and Honda should be made to replace them appropriately.

My srs light is on at all times in my 2001 Honda Accord. I took it to a Honda dealership in June, 2005. I was told that when the srs light is on, my air bag system is inoperable and air bags will not deploy on impact. Dealership inspection found a code for seat belt buckle switch/sensor causing the srs light. The buckle set has been special ordered and has not arrived after one month. In the meantime, I drive around with my srs light on and no airbags. Why are there so many complaints about this same issue on the NHTSA website? does this issue need to be addressed as a possible recall? so many of the complaints regarding this same issue are with no resolution. So far I have no resolution. I did not buy a car with no air bags. I want to feel confident my air bags will do their job should I be in an accident. They have saved my life in the past. If you have this same issue, I encourage you to file a complaint.

The srs light in my 2001 Honda Accord repeatedly comes on. I have had the opds unit replaced twice, and I have been told by the dealer that it has to be replaced again.

I am writing to file a complaint and for information regarding a persistent problem I am having with my 2001 Honda Accord srs light. Specifically the dashboard srs light goes on for no reason. I have been told by the dealer that they cannot guarantee that my airbags will deploy if I am in an accident or that the bags may deploy for no reason. I have researched this problem online and find that many other 2001 Honda Accord owners are having this same exact issue, and have filed complaints etc. But yet there is still no recall regarding this extremely dangerous safety issue. I am hoping you can help me understand the following: 1. Why hasn't there been a recall regarding this issue? 2. Has the NHTSA conducted an investigation into the problem of the srs indicator light on 2001 Honda Accords? if so, what facts were found, what determination was made and what result followed? 4. What is the solution?? this is truly a mystery to me, and I feel very unsafe driving my car with this light on!!! please contact me if you need more information or if I can be of any assistance in having this problem designated for recall. It is very scary driving with this light on, and it is through no fault of the owners of these vehicles! I also understand that later model years do not have this problem, so Honda has obviously corrected a known problem. . . . They should have to correct it in the 2001 model year as well! please help.

Air bag light illuminated while driving. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the srs module needed to be replaced ,and it was not covered under a recall. Consumer anticipated the air bags may deploy inadvertently while driving or not deploy in a vehicle crash.

Srs indicator light came on 10/15/2004 when I started engine in the morning and the light stayed on after that. Car is maintained in good condition always, there was no problem with the car and it ran fine. Talked to dealers and all said they need to diagnose for a charge of 80-100$. I took the car to coral springs Honda on 10/22/2004 and they said srs unit is bad and they charged 516. 00 $ to replace it. I had to pay and replace the srs unit (fp no. 77960-s84-a75, dtc 07-2 srs unit, 6490148). It seems this is a generic failures as shown by many complaints here. Honda should pay for this problem fix and customers shouldn't be burdened with this replacement cost!.

The air bag light was on. Dealer stated that consumers' cell phone on the seat made the light go on. Dealer showed consumer a paper, stating that the electronic devices caused problems with air bags. The consumer paid $300. 00 for the repairs.

The srs light came up for no reasons on my 2001 Honda Accord. It came on after the 3 year warranty was over. I had brought it back to dealership and they had reset it. However, the light came back within a week. I hope this complaint will trigger a recall from Honda as it seems there are many people complaining the same thing!!!! I don't want to shell out $$$$ to fix something that was a defect in the first place!.

Srs light on. Found code 15-3 opds sensor failure. New sensor required at a cost of $421.

Srs light is constantly on. Took it to dealer, was charged $68 to be told it's a 7-2 problem and have the light reset. As soon as I started up the car, the light came back on. Was told it would need a new control unit replacement that would cost almost $500! my car has never had any problems to cause this -- no accidents, no low battery, no air bag deployment, nothing. Seems much to soon to have something like this go "out. ".

The air bag sensor light malfunctioned. The consumer was concerned the air bag will not deploy upon impact. The component to repair the air bag was order December 2003 but it still has not arrived at the dealer. The vehicle transmission.

Repeated failure of supplemental restrain system in my warrantied 2001 Honda Accord. Failure consists of faulty sensors, thereby deactivating the system. This has occurred four time. Every time this was taken to a factory authorized dealer, with no success (problem recurs).

The dashboard airbag light comes on when I just place my purse on the passenger front seat, or if I place a heavy bag on the floor and it leans against the passenger front seat. Browsing through your site complaints, I notice that my car is not the only one with the airbag light coming on. The complaint states that the dealer would not do anything, that person had an accident and the airbag never went off. Has anything changed since the complaint was filed where the dealer would fix the problem at no charge to me?.

Air bag on passenger's side blinks on and off for past 2 months. Srs light just started coming on, and will not go off. Dealer stated cell phone and computer caused sensors to go off, and/ or might cause air bags to deploy. Consumer was not sure if dealer and manufacturer will find a possible solution.

The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. The srs lights remained illuminated. The dealer stated the opd sensor is the cause of the failure. The opd sensor was replaced twice and did not solve the problem. The failure and current mileage were 130000.

In March of 2003, while driving home from the grocery store, my husband swerved and then stopped (without any collision) and the front passenger airbag of our 2001 Honda Accord ex deployed while I was sitting in the seat. We were instructed by Honda service at white plains, NY to go through our insurance, only to find out that the reason the airbag deployed was due to faulty air bag sensors in our car's computer. Five weeks later, we got our car back from the shop. Now, a year later, our insurance company at the time (progressive) has advised us to follow up with the NHTSA to file a complaint against Honda. To this date, the srs light on my dashboard still comes on with no explanation, and the greenwich and white plains Honda dealerships want nothing to do with it. Meanwhile, I feel unsafe driving the car and have been since the incident when I was 3 months pregnant, and now have a 6 month old child that I drive around in the vehicle.

Srs(air bag) light keeps coming on, already had sensor replaced. Now there replacing the entire unit.

My 2001 Honda Accord srs light has came on and stayed on. This has been a problem with other 2001 Honda Accords and I want to know if there has been a recall put out to correct the problem? thank you .

The srs light stayed on since the consumer purchased the vehicle. When the consumer took vehicle to the dealership for regular maintance they would reset the light. Every time it would come back on. The consumer was concerned because she has been informed that the air bag will not deploy since this light was on.

1) front passenger seat does not lock in place. Seat slides all the way to the front when I brake. My passengers have to quickly bring their arms foward to stop themselves from hitting the dashboard; one time my passenger hand hit her eye in the process of trying to stop the seat from hitting the dashboard. 2) srs indicator light come on when I just place a light purse on the passenger seat. This is a 2001 Honda Accord v6 with only 15,000 miles. 3) there have been numerous complaints to nhts regarding this srs light malfunction. When will nhts do a recall? the dealers want to charge me to look into the seat not locking in place, and the srs light.

Since I purchased my car from Honda in 11/2001. My srs light has been on repeatedly throughout the years. I would inform Honda every time I went in for a service or oil change. They would adjust the light and it would come on weeks later. I finally had the srs light serviced by Honda. Currently the srs light is on again.
