12 Front Air Bag Sensor Control problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2009

Over the past 10 months, starting approximately August 2009, the air light in my 2004 Honda Accord exl would intermittently come on then go back off. More recently, it comes on a daily basis. When I buckle my seatbelt and start the car it may appear and stay on the entire time while driving. Then when I stop and turn off the car then turn it back on, the light may or may not show up again. I found that there was a NHTSA campaign number: 07v001000 for 2004 Honda Accord. "component: air bags:frontal:sensor/control module summary: on certain vehicles, the seat position sensor (sps) detects the driver's seating position and adjusts the air bag inflation pressure Accordingly. The wiring harness for the sps was attached to the seat frame in the wrong location and may have been over tightened. The sensor wire may break and cause the air bag warning light to be illuminated, and the sps to fail. Consequence: a failure of the sps causes the air bag system to default to full inflation pressure, regardless of the seat position. Full deployment of the driver's air bag can increase the risk of injury for smaller drivers in a frontal crash. Remedy: dealers will replace the seat position sensor wiring subharness. The recall will begin on or about February 8, 2007. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. " I contacted America Honda motor and they said that this recall was on the 2004 Accord lx and ex but not my exl model or my VIN number. I feel that my car is exhibiting the same issues and should have been included in the recall.

Failure Date: 05/14/2008

On may 14, 2008, I brought my 2004 Honda Accord ex to my local Honda dealer because the srs (airbag) indicator came on and remained on during operation. The dealer charged me $263 for replacing the wiring harness under the driver's seat.

My service rep at the dealership said that the VIN on my car did not fall in the VIN range for the recall, but the documentation for NHTSA recall 07v001000 does not specify a range of vins for 2004 models, only for 2005 models.
