1 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 03/04/2021

Recurrent and unsolved issues with the srs airbag warning light. It was "repaired" in 2016, again in February 2021, and has recurred again in March 2021. I have a Honda Civic si, which was not included in the takata recall program. The si is an uncommon model of the Civic, and I believe this is the reason it was not included in the recall. I have continued to have issues over the years with the srs warning light coming on, and not being able to have it effectively repaired. According to online forums for older Civics, the srs warning light appears to be a common issue. Those owners recommend diy repairs and work-arounds. Given the life-saving importance of airbags, Honda should be repairing/replacing them as needed.

2 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 10/28/2020

Since the purchase of the vehicle the srs warning light has continuously stayed illuminated on the dash board. My first thought of course was something was either wrong with the air bag system or the vehicle was involved in a collision that led to the air bags (which ones I have no clue) being deployed and so when I signed the bill of sale with the dealer I inquired about this issue and was given a paper that states the dealer did not know as well as to whaylt the airbag system status was but was to be excluded from liability to this issue by making up this ridiculous document. After seeing the car fax the vehicle was then known to have been in a head on collision in 2018 and so the dealer lied a bout not knowing anything about this issue. This dealer has been totally non compliant with the process of getting this issue addressed let alone fixed and I have tried on several attempts to talk to owner without any callback or answers. I knly get hounded about what they believe to be the balance due on the vehicle that's it . Just today I ran the VIN inn the database and sure enough there was an open recall on the air bag systwmm in accordance with this VIN and that's when I decided to file this complaint .

11 Warning Light On problem

Failure Date: 09/29/2005

My daughter drives a 2002 Honda Civic lx. Approximately 18 months ago, the srs warning light came on and she took it to a Honda dealer. The dealer determined that there was no failure, and turned off the warning light (<$100 charge). Today, the light came on again, and this time the dealer (a different dealer) indicated that the opds unit needed to be replaced at a cost of $300, which was not covered by the extended warranty on the car. I searched the web and found that this is a very common occurrance, and that the airbags are disabled when the srs light is on. Also, in many cases, the replacement of the opds will only fix the problem for a few months, and then the cycle is repeated. Multiple related technical service bulletins have been developed. The apparent frequency of this failure and the potential consequences, since the air bags are disabled, warrant a NHTSA investigation and possible recall by Honda.
