The contact owns a 2002 Honda Odyssey. The contact stated that the srs indicator constantly remains illuminated in the vehicle. The dealer stated that the computer panel failed and needed to be replaced. If not replaced, the air bags will not work. After researching the issue, the contact learned of numerous other complaints for the same defect on her vehicle. She called the manufacturer and was informed of a special warranty extension on the air bags; however, it only includes the opds sensor, not the computer manual panel. The manufacturer will not accept responsibility for the repairs. The vehicle is currently at the dealer and has not been repaired. The current and failure mileages were 92,000.

I received a letter from Honda saying the 'opds" sensor may be defective and Honda would replace it. We had it replaced at patterson auto center, wichita falls, TX 76301, invoice #hocs78608, 9/13/07. The "srs" indicator light had been "on" and with the replacement the light was "off". One month later the light came "on" again and we returned to have it checked out. I was told the "srs control unit" needed to be replaced, so we had that done, this was replaced at my cost. Then on 4/5/08 while driving on a smooth road, the passenger side air bag deployed, hurting my wife the passenger on her arm. The following Monday 4/7/08 took vehicle to patterson's and showed them the deployed air bag. Jimmy kendrick in service department said he had never seen that happen before without an accident. They connected the computer to the system and it indicated a side impact. Jimmy visually inspected the vehicle to have not had any "side impact" and could not explain why it had deployed. I asked if Honda would correct the faulty air bag system and was told "no". Latest incident was on 7/29/08, while sitting in the vehicle at the church parking lot, with the engine running, but parked the drivers side air bag deployed, injuring my left arm. No side impact had occurred to cause this to happen. I was very lucky I was not driving at the time, because I know it would have caused me to have an accident. We need Honda to recall this vehicle and replace the air bag system before any of the other air bags deploy and cause a major accident leading to death, as soon as possible!.

Problems with the srs indicator light coming on and remaining on. Have had car into dealer 3 times in one month. The srs control unit was replaced during the 1st visit. On the 2nd visit we were passed off and told that we should not put items on the seat. On the 3rd visit we are told that 3 items must be replaced 1) srs control unit 2) opds and 3) passenger seat sensor. When we purchased the car, we purchased an extended warranty. We are now being told that the first item (srs control unit) is covered under warranty but the other 2 items are not. This is unacceptable. The dealer is now saying that they will "do us a favor" and pay for the parts but we must pay labor. (hundreds of dollars) how can one part in a mechanism be covered but not the other 2. This is a key component in the car. This is a real safety concern. Once the indicator comes on, we must take the car immmediately to the dealer or we risk serious injury (or death) if we are in a accident. I do about 3 hours of driving per day so this is not acceptable. We are being told that we cannot put items on the seat like a cell phone. This is ridiculous. Who ever heard of not being able to have a cell phone near by. (which by the way there was no cell phone on the seat in any of the incidences) this is clearly a defect with this car that Honda needs to address.

The air bag light illuminated on the dash board.

At any speed air bag light came on and stayed on. Examined vehicle and could not find the cause of the problem.

Consumer states that while driving at any speed and without warning the air bag light comes on and the air bag could be inoperative in the event of a vehicle accident. Dealer notified. Mr.
