Srs warning light is on continuously. Independ shop says error code is for driver front seat belt latch sensor. Honda dealers says sensor is not part of lifetime warranty for seat belts, even though sensor is fully integrate with seat belt latch, and part of the vital safety system. Independent shop is reluctant to repair for liability and Honda dealer want huge payment for simple repair. It is unfair and unethical for dealer and manufacturer to not honor there printed warranty.

Takata recall - car not on recall list but dash airbag warning light is on constantly. Have been waiting for airbag recall notice for over 2 years with light on.
I took the vehicle to get the airbag safety recall done. When the dealer (autonation Honda 2999 west 104th Ave. Westminster, CO 80234) advised me the car was ready to pick up and the safety recall was complete. . . The airbag light was still illuminated on the dash. I pointed this out to the dealer and he told me they made the repair, but they will charge me to turn the light off (an additional $99 for an alleged no charge safety recall). The warning light advises the driver the vehicle is safe, or not safe. Right now the light advises the drive the repair is not complete. I do not believe the repair was done to safety standard with the light still illuminated.

My 2003 Honda Accord ex v-6 has 229000 miles and is need of its fourth set of engine/motor mounts. I have owned several Accords and have never had this problem. The car jerks upon take off and makes grinding sounds when decelerating . Also, the car squeaks, moans, and groans when slowing down to make left and right turns. My mechanic told me it is rare for a car to need motor mounts so often for a vehicle. Due to the broken motor mounts, the car's oil pan has begun to leak due to movement of the engine and transmission and power steering fluids are leaking due to the movement. Also, my airbag warning light turns on intermittently. I have checked several times and my car is not included in the takata airbag recall, but it does concern me. I don't know if there is a problem or if it is an electrical problem.

Since the purchase i’ve experienced continual transmission problems. Upon speaking with the dealership I was assured all was fine. You can imagine my surprise when I received notice of the transmission recall (NHTSA 04v176000). Upon repair, in September 2004, I did not notice repair improvement, and continued to detect the rough grind of transmission shift and a whining sound. In 2009 I experienced a catastrophic transmission failure to which I had sought repair. In December 2010 I experienced another transmission failure. I have just now experienced my 3rd transmission failure, July 2011. My power steering pump had always had a faint whine, but Honda services never identified it as concerning. The problem progressively became worse until Honda finally suggested a repair, but informed me that the component was then out of warranty and would be a costly repair. I decided to delay repair until June 2011. Ac problems manifested in September 2005 and required replacement in April 2008. My center council clock and temperature display has been flickering, dimmed, and absent since 2009. The interlock stuck issue first materialized in 2008 and serviced in July 2010. My airbag warning light has been active since 2008 with an occasional but repetitive tcs alert; and my headlamp glass has been hazed since 2005. The paint deterioration is ridiculously embarrassing, the leather seating began showing wear 2 years in, my seatbelt doesn’t return to the original released position, head liner has water leak stains, cd player stopped working, exposed wiring is visible at the driver door hinge, i’ve gone through 3 batteries, countless tires, one cracked windshield, and I have always suffer from poor radio reception and occasional navigational signal roaming issues. In these times of thrift conscious fuel consumption, I utilize my nav tools to monitor my driving activity. I’m stunned to report I get a fuel economy of 24 mpg highway, not the 31 mpg as sticker reports.

2003 Honda Accord (VIN [xxx] ) has an airbag warning light coming on after 30 minutes of driving. A Honda dealer says the car needs new airbag control module for $525. There is a campaign # 07v001000 for 2004 & 2005 models airbags recall. This recall should include 2003 Honda Accord. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).
Srs light turns on and off on the dash. I took my 2003 Honda Accord ex- v6 to the dealer and the diagnostics codes were 53-31, 61-10, f1-11, f3-11. After the dealer calling Honda, Honda recommended to replace the control unit. However, reviews indicate that the airbag warning light may come on due to a defective occupant position detection sensor requiring its replacement. Honda decided to recall the 2004 models for the same airbag issue, but left out the 2003 models.
The srs warning indicator comes on when the vehicle is started and is occasionally staying on. Research online shows that this is a common problem with older Honda Accords, and an extended warranty was issued by Honda to warranty the opds system which controls the airbags and seat belt tensioning system. My Accord, 2003, is not covered by this extended warranty. This is a safety issue, as the airbags are disabled when the srs warning light is on, and I am astonished at the treatment Honda has given me. They are unwilling to cover this, even though there is a history of complaints.
The airbag sensor warning light has been going on and off for the last 3 years on my 2003 Honda Accord sedan. The dealer says that if it is not caused by a seat belt defect, the repair is not covered by Honda. The same defect was the subject of a recall for the 2004 Accord but not the 2003. I believe it is the identical problem.
It appears my airbags are not functioning on my 2003 Honda Accord . The airbag dashboard warning light has been going on and off for a while. Lately it stays on continuously. The Honda dealer (most recently Honda marysville in marysville, OH) took various steps to address it but nothing worked. The second to last step taken was to replace the car battery but the problem still exists. Most recently, on September 10, 2008, the Honda dealer ran tests, spoke with Honda manufacturing, and said that the problem may be with the srs unit and recommended that it be replaced at a cost of $475. There is no assurance, however, that this will fix the problem. Honda manufacturing disclaims any responsibility for paying for this problem, despite the fact that this problem has been ongoing for quite a while and despite the fact that this pertains to a very critical safety device for the vehicle.
