5 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/29/2015

The srs and side airbag lights are illuminated on the front dash. After having the takata airbag recall performed on my car, I was told that these lights were unrelated. Instead, I would need to pay somewhere between $600-$1,000 to have the srs control unit replaced, which may solve the issue. In the meantime, my side and passenger side airbags will not work in a crash. I have not had any incidents yet (no crashes) but feel that I am at risk if I were to be in a crash during which airbag deployment would normally occur.

15 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2006

My 2001 Honda Civic ex srs light came up last week. This car had lot of issues since I bought in 2000 December 1. Radio replaced 1 month after purchase. 2. Right front side wheel bearing was replaced within 6 months under warranty. It failed again in 2005. I had it replaced again in 2005 for $500. 3. Side airbag light reset within 2 years. It came back again in 2000. The dealer doesn't know what is causing the problem. Its going to cost me $600 to replace the sensor. 4. Front side windows get stuck and don't roll up properly in cold weather. In 2003 dealer replaced the motor for $600 but still doesn't work. 5. Replaced front struts in 2006 6. Power steering pump failed in 2006 will cost me $500 to replace. 7. Srs light came up and stays on in 2006. Don't know what it will take to get this repaired. Overall I think 2001 Civic is a piece of junk.

16 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2006

2001 Honda Civic ex sedan srs light comes on and stay on. This is the second time as the first time the indicator was just reset but now it just stayed on. I think Honda should have a recall on the srs system as this is a safety issue as in the event of an accident the air bags would not go off. Also, the side airbag light would just flicker on and off. I think also that NHTSA should make Honda do a recall on the srs system as many 2001 Honda Civic owners have complained.

17 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2005

Sirs, recently the air bag warning indicator on the instrument panel,fails to go off indicating a problem with the safety air bag system. There is no routine maintenance recommended in my owners manual for this part,and since I read about recalls for this model car (Honda Civic 4 door 2001) I did not take it to the repair shop or dealer to examine. Through this website, I checked the VIN's of the vehicles affected and my vehicle is not on that list of numbers. I believe that this is a manufacturing defect, it would probably be very costly to have it repaired. I have no idea how many complaints there are about this problem,and if I should just go ahead and have it looked at and eat the costs, or wait a little to see what you advise (if you do that at all). Thank you in advance, peter p.

18 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2005

My srs indicator light comes on and stayed on ever since we purchased the car. (Honda Civic 2001, 2 dr ex 4spa) I've been to the dealership for what is now the sixth time. The first time they reset it and said it was because I used the cigarette lighter to charge my cell phone. The second time they replaced the unit and for the sixth they were going to replace it again. In the meantime I have to drive Honda Civic vehicle with airbags that don?t work. Mechanic blamed lastly that wife places purse and tote bag or package on passenger seat, that has caused the trip. It seems to me that the car does not meet its design specs. And is a lemon. And whoever heard of not being able to take a cell phone in a car or not being able to put a purse on the passenger seat. Wife was in a rear end accident recently, no air bags went off and mechanic who repaired the rear end damage did nothing to the airbags. Honda tried to blame them for the srs problem, even though I had the problem at least 4 times before the accident. After replacing the part several days ago, I was driving the car and the light came back on. Nothing was in the passenger seat.

19 Air Bag Light On problem

Failure Date: 05/02/2005

Side airbag light would come on and off with passenger in car, taken to dealer by original owner, no resolution due to inability to duplicate problem. Paperwork regarding service inquiry given to me, I am the second owner. Problem appeared again,srs light also came on. . Took vehicle to dealer and now that it is out of warranty they diagnosed the problem as faulty occupant positioning sensor and not covered. . . . The date entered as incident is not the initial date of complaint, it is the second dealer visit. This is as important in my eyes as seatbelts are.
