Takada inflators. My 2002 Honda Accord has had 2 recalls on the driver side inflator or airbag. The srs light is on all of the time. I explained that the light used to come on and go off when it was very humid or had rained. After several months of that, the light came on and never went off. I asked the dealer if they would contact Honda and ask if they could replace both airbags or inflators on the driver and passenger side. They said they wouldn't fix it since it hadn't been a part of the recall. They replaced the driver side inflator/bag and sent me on my way with the srs light still on. Recently I had another recall for the driver side inflator. Once again I requested that they contact Honda to get authorization to fix the passenger side since the srs light is still on. Once again I was told they wouldn't do so as it isn't part of the recall. Given the history of the injuries and deaths related to the srs/inflators, why wouldn't they investigate to see what the problem was? I can't afford to do so myself. Then the dealership told me he'd note in the history that I "refused to fix it". I went ahead and scheduled a time to take it in for the recall for the driver side inflator. After I got off the phone, it really made me mad the way the dealer implied that this was my problem and note the history. So, I called the Honda recall number back and asked them to note on the history of my car that I informed Honda and the dealership that there was an issue with the srs light and they chose to not even look into the problem. I'm writing this to put Honda on notice that I have notified them of the srs problem and requested that they fix it under the recall and was told "no" twice! a quick search on the internet makes it obvious that this is a known problem that has been brought to Honda's attention and they chose to ignore it.

Srs light stays on. Seat belts were replaced and warning light reset,but came on after a couple of miles. Now there is a recall on the air bag inflators, but the seat belt control module, which activates the inflators is defective, and not covered under any update or recall program. I understand that the air bags will not deploy in a crash if the srs light is on. This is a fairly common problem and in my opinion should be covered under a federally mandated safety recall with no charge to the consumer.
