My vehicle announced to me it has a supplemental restraint system problem. See your dealer.
Drivers seat belt not latching.
While driving, a warning message appeared on the dashboard stating: “supplemental restraint system problem. See your dealer. ” the airbag warning light also illuminated. This indicates a malfunction within the supplemental restraint system (srs), which controls airbag deployment and seatbelt pretensioners. At this time, it is unknown what specific component of the srs failed or malfunctioned. And this issue first appeared 2 moths after purchase but its been coming on and half I don't know how serious this is. This malfunction places my safety and the safety of passengers at risk because the airbags or other restraint features may not function properly in the event of a collision. The problem has not yet been confirmed or repaired by a dealer, and no inspection by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives has been completed as of this report. The warning lamps and message appeared suddenly while driving, with no prior symptoms, noises, or performance issues. Vehicle remains available for inspection if requested.
Passenger side rear seatbelt does not click in or latch.
On 2/3/25 a warning light came on in my 2018 Honda Accord hybrid while driving home (supplemental restraint system problem, see your dealer). I immediately called the Honda dealer where I get my car serviced to explain the problem. I was told I would need to bring the car in and pay $200 for a diagnostic and they would have to keep the car for a few days. Well I know the problem, my driver seatbelt no longer locks when I hit the brakes. I tested it the whole 1 hour drive home. I then called Honda customer service and they were closed. However they did mention the car I have based on my phone number and said there were no recalls. I was in a panic driving home from work for an hour with no fully functioning seat belt. I went online and there is a seat belt recall on Honda cars but apparently not the year mine was made. I bought my car brand new, it's only 6 years old and I expect to have functioning seatbelts. I also do not expect to pay out of pocket for any diagnostic cost when my seat belt clearly no longer functions as it should. I would like this information reported to Honda ASAP. I do not have a second car and I'm in a panic about having to drive to work. Please help me. I will also try again to call Honda corporate office tomorrow.
During normal driving - clear weather conditions - the car will suddenly activate the forward collision braking. It will literally slam on the brakes and decrease the speed by 10-15 mph. This happened as I was going down the drive of our neighborhood, I was at 45 mph with no one in front of me or behind me (thankfully) and the car applied the brakes and activated the front collision warning. There is also an intermittent issue with my seatbelt. Specifically the drivers seat belt. I was witness to someone driving my car - he buckled his seat belt and it unlatched. He then buckled it again thinking he didn’t do it right - but it wouldn’t latch. This has happened to me before as well - but usually after the third try of buckling the seat belt it will work and so I thought nothing of it. Additionally, the windshield wipers do not go back to their original position after being in use.
I received a notice of recall with my car registration and I contact the Honda dealer future Honda of sacramento. I went for the appointment for the on October 05, 2024 and was told that they did not have the parts.
I own a 2018 Honda Accord ex?l (VIN#: [xxx]). Shortly after a service visit to a Honda dealer for unrelated maintenance (in Sep. 2024 with an estimated 50,000 miles), the dashboard began showing ‘supplemental restraint system problem – see dealer’. A dealer quoted $400+ to diagnose and replace what appears to be a common passenger airbag indicator sensor failure, a known issue reported by many 2018 Accord owners. I believe Honda should issue a recall due to the safety risk. I’m filing this as a voq complaint for odi’s review and authorize NHTSA to share my identifying info with Honda if needed. Supporting documentation and numerous examples of complaints from hundreds of Honda Accord owners relating to this problem: - numerous drivers of 2018 Honda Accords have reported the identical warning (“supplemental restraint system problem – see dealer”) along with fault code b002013, intermittent dashboard behavior, and inability of dealers to resolve it consistently. - Honda’s 2024 campaign 24?050 identifies the seat weight sensor as directly causing srs warnings and passenger airbag indicator failure - demonstrating this component is known to fail and trigger airbag system alert behavior, even if not yet applied to 2018 model year. - independent coverage confirms the risk and design defect in seat sensors causing unintended srs failures, underscoring the safety risk and Honda’s formal acknowledgment of the issue in later models. - multiple complaints about post?service warning lights that match this scenario (electrical system category), and public news coverage stating Honda is recalling vehicles due to faulty passenger seat sensors that may cause airbag or srs failures. - 37 official complaints for the 2018 Accord, with no repair by dealer and failure left unresolved. One report (may 12, 2025) describes this exact issue saying the dashboard message randomly popped up and a "dealer wanted $250 diagnostic and $4,000 to repair. - my service quote attached. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information ac.

Supplemental restraint system problem.
I keep intermittently getting a supplemental restraint system error. I have been on forums with other vehicle owners getting the same error. The dealer says it is a bad airbag while others are saying it could be two other less expensive remedies they have encountered such as a faulty cutoff indicator that gets overheated and the solders come loose as well as a faulty seatbelt buckle assembly. This is not a constant issue, it is intermittent and feel if the airbag was faulty it would be a constant error.
The seat belt has been buckled but disconnects once I drive. It has trouble connecting when I get in car. I have to push it in and pull for it to connect. I asked washington Honda about recall and they said none were issued. I've never spilled food in it as I rarely have food in car.

I had a recall on my seatbelt and after I did the recall now my airbag resistant light is coming on and I don’t think they’re going to look at it without charging me when it never came on until they done the seatbelt so I’m not sure if I got a defective part and they need to replace it or what but I don’t think I should have to pay for it since it was just fine till they done the recall.

Honda issued a recall notice for repairing seat belts that fail on this vehicle, assuring customers the repair would be a quick one hour replacement. I learned from mark anderson at findlay Honda in las vegas in April 2023 that this is an outright lie. Honda requires the repair facility to photograph the seat belt, submit the photos and if it looks like it needs replacement, they will send out the parts. During this time, which can take 2 days According to mr. Anderson, the car is forcefully sequestered and Honda will not provide a loaner car. As this renders the repair process a costly burden for the customer, Honda is assuring their customers remain at risk of death or severe injury due to failing seat belts they will not replace.
