Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2002 Honda CR-V

No accident occurred. Notified via dealership inspection that front airbag sensors faulty. Approximate cost of replacement $800. 00. Possible failure of airbags deploying upon impact. Feel since this is a required safety feature that manufacturer should be responsible for replacement.

Repeated mechanical failures of the 2002 Honda crv that I bought brand new have been occurring since August of 2002. The car was bought in July of 2002. The odor from the inside cabin filter first occurred in August. The fuse to the warning devise that would alert the driver to lights being left on, etc. Went out within 3-4 months. Then major items which had to be replaced: differential, 2004(though still under warranty, Honda refused to replace it for 2 years), neck of fuel tank broke, 2006, air conditioning system, 2007, driver-side window fell off track because the plastic clamp cracked, 2008, catalytic converter, 2009, O2 sensor, 2009, driver's seat unstable since 2003, srs slowly went out beginning with intermittent warnings about side door air bag being turned off beginning in 2003 which dealerships ignored as just an occurence from something or someone bumping against the closed door from the inside. Finally in 2008, when the light came on to stay, I was told that it was a failure of the sensor motor__now my problem to again pay for a major repair.

With 62,000 miles on my 2002 Cr-v, the srs light came on and stays on. Having had the same problem with a 2000 accord and a 2000 Acura tl I know that the problem I a failed sensor system and the cost will approach $700. Honda has a problem with their srs and I consider it an extreme safety issue. Honda continues to stonewall the problem and simply denies the problem is theirs. You people have no clout to make them do anything so the only answer is to stop buying Honda products. I hereby promise to never by another Honda product. I've already replaced the Acura with a Toyota avalon, and the accord with a Toyota camry. I will replace the Cr-v with something other than a Honda.

The srs light came on , indicating that the restraint system failed. A safety concern for us. Honda replaced a connector in the steering wheel.

Driver side airbag light on. Was told need to replace the airbag. When ac was on, engine gave strange noise and went dead completely. Restarted the engine, and turned ac off, things were ok.

Dt the air bags sensor is not working properly, the srs light stays on. Contacted Honda, and they will not warranty it. Consumer had to pay for the labor and rent a car, this started happening July 14th, 2005.

While on a trip srs warning light came on- defective opds sensor in passenger seat back- charged $725 for replacemnt-told out of warranty.

While driving air bag warning light continuously illuminated on the dashboard. As a result, air bags were inoperative and wouldn't deploy when needed. Vehicle was inspected several times. At last inspection mechanic indicated to the consumer that air bag sensor failed, and will cost $665. 00 for the part alone, not including labor. Problem was not resolved.

While driving at any speed air bag warning light continuously illuminated on the dashboard. As a result, air bags became inoperative and wouldn't deploy when needed. Dealership inspected vehicle several times, but problem recurred.

The srs light came on so I contacted the dealer. They replaced the sensor. I haven't had anymore problems with it, but it was only 4 days ago. I have been reading other problems with the srs light and I am concerned that this is gonna be an ongoing problem. I am worried that the air bags won't deploy if I am in an accident. As for the brakes. I keep hearing a popping noise every time I back out of a parking space or the driveway. I have not contacted the dealer, but after reading other complaints, I am going to do this. I have always been a dedicated Honda lover and I am disappointed to hear about all that is wrong with the vehicle I have purchased with my hard earned money. Dt.
