My 2002 Honda Accord has a failed srs unit which Honda will not repair under the extended warranty. It will cost me $580 to fix it. It affects safety because if I do not repair it my air bags will not deploy. There was a class action suit for opds so now they pay that but they will not pay for this.

I suffered a severe head injury requiring 13 stitches to the side of my head/face. I was t-boned in the driver side door. My side air bag did not deploy resulting in this injury.
Was going home after a interview and got t-boned. Both airbags deployed and the driver side airbag with excessive force. Had to go to the emergency room because my arm had a huge knot on it and looked broke. Doctor said it wasn't broke but was bruised to the bone. Had to take theraphy for several months.
: the contact stated the srs light illuminated in the vehicle. The dealership was contacted and stated this is a reoccurring problem in this type of vehicle. The side air bags will need to be replaced.
I am on my second Honda - the first one was a 1987 Honda Accord that I had for 15 years. I loved that car and had no issues at all with its performance. The car listed with this complaint I bought new in 2002 and still have it today. I am not sure of the dates but within three to four years of having this Honda, the dash board lights stopped working and the driver side airbag returned an error light. I faithfully service this vehicle ( kirkwood auto center wilmington DE) and when they investigated the issue, I was told that each of the repairs was not covered by warrantee and would be several hundred dollars to repair. I was a single parent at the time and learned to live with no dashboard lighting at night and had the air bags disabled. I have also taken the car to a certified Honda dealer (union park Honda wilmington DE) and they also confirmed that neither of those repairs was covered or the product of a recall. I always thought I would buy Hondas forever but I am quite disappointed in the performance of this 2002 Accord and how it failed so soon after I purchased it with no recourse but to pay a huge amount of money to fix the issues. Equally upsetting is all of the issues with airbags that are being replaced yet my car, with the failed airbag, would have to be paid by me to be functional. What can Honda do for me to keep me in your Honda family?.
Side airbag lights often come on and off for no reason. This has happened for almost two years now. I had called dealership regarding this situations. But they advised me that they could not do anything unless the side air bag light kept staying on. I assume whenever the light came on passenger was leaning on the chair in a certain way, but I noticed that the side airbag light would come on with or without a passenger in the seat. Besides the on and off situations with the side air bag light, I was involved in a driver side impact. The other party hit on driver's side door. The impact complete wrecked the door, but none of side air bags deployed or nothing. I assumed that the impact was not hard enough to deploy the side airbag. Also, many friends who also had Honda Accords experienced the same problem . I hope some one could investigate this problem because there was a malfunction and I could have gotten seriously injured from the accident or maybe from future accident if there was something wrong with the side airbag.
The yellow light for my side air bags started coming on right in the middle of my driving. The dealer checked it, but it didn't come on when it was being test driven. Now it is coming on constantly and for longer durations. The car is now out of the 3 yr warranty. I was told I'll be charged for checking it out. The dealer said that nothing can be done unless the light is on when they are checking it. Since the yellow light comes on & off while driving, I can not replicate it at will.
The side air bag light intermittently illuminates. To force the light off, I pull the side of the passenger seat towards the center of the auto. This only occurs when the seat is empty. I have taken to the Honda delarship and they state their diagnostics show nothing wrong and that I must have the light on in order to possibly find something wrong. Of course the last time it came on, I entered the parking lot of the dealer and the light wehnt out.
Side air bag light comes on from time to time.
1) auto accident by SUV-side impact-driver side front & rear doors 2) driver's side airbag did not deploy. Jaws of life used to open door. 3) contacted Honda case#n032004-09-07-01546. Insurance carrier sent letter for Honda to come out and inspect. No response as of today. Accident date 8/10/04.
Side airbag light keeps coming on by itself, what this does is that it shuts off the side airbags on the car when the light somes on, nothing has been done to correct the problem Honda will charge for fixing it even if the car is still under warranty.
Vehicle was hit on left front corner by headlight while making a left turn by a vehicle traveling about 40mph. Upon impact, neither driver or passenger side airbag deployed. Vehicle was totaled. One person was injured in accident.
In a frontal collision only driver's side air bag didn't deploy on impact.
