While waiting for over 9 months for the parts for my airbag to be fixed, the airbag light came on. I was told by Honda this would be fixed when the airbag was replaced. The dealer told me the light sensor was a separate issue and not covered under warranty. I do not have $800 dollars to fix this issue. I was told the airbag will not work as long as the light is on. What was the point in fixing my airbag if it does not work anyways. Is this not a safety issue?.

Started with pass. Air bag light & pass. Seatbelt beeper & light. Have had it repaired 4 times but pass. Beeper & light has not been fixed. Spoke with Honda America in CA regional mgr morris said it doesn't exist in the 2005 Honda Element the manual is a misprint. This is a safety issue which Honda does not want to correct. It had worked before so my wife & I spoke to people with 1996 to 2008 Honda Elements and they all have a seatbelt light & beeper for the passenger front seat. Could you please help with this safety issue that has been going on for four long years. I believe Honda America is trying to deceive us. I even asked morris to put it in writing that it is a misprint in the manual but he said he could not do that. I also told him that I had spoken to other 2005 Element owners who stated their passenger seatbelts have a light & beeper but still insists that my car does not.
