Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 2005 Honda Pilot

Srs- front driver side bumper impact sensor. It was noticed after Honda hamilton new jersey dealer did airbag recall takata. They said that it was unrelated to recall installation. Gave me a 41-11 code and sent me home. Honda needs to acknowledge these faulty impact sensors and cover the cost.

Air bags sensor failed. This seems to be a very common problem on Honda Pilots and Hondas must recall and replace all sensors free of charge. They charge $400 per sensor.

The srs light came on while driving the vehicle back to the house. Took the car to the mechanic and he analyzed the problem that the computer was not talking with the airbag system. No blown fuses no other issues noted with sensors other than failed airbag control computer unit.

Suddenly, our srs dashboard light came on and will not go off. After looking at the owner's manual, we promptly set-up a service appt at Honda to diagnose/fix the problem as it relates to an important vehicle safety feature. In the meantime, a family member who works in the auto repair industry used his computer to pull the codes and diagnose the problem so we would know what Honda service should be telling us at the appointment. The vehicle is showing an error code of 42-11 for the front impact airbag sensor on the passenger side. This vehicle has not been in an accident and there is no reason for the sudden malfunction. Upon visual inspection of both front sensors, the yellow protective sheath has pulled back from the sensor, leaving the junction where the wires meet the sensor exposed low in the engine, and thus creates the potential for debris and weather to impact their performance. In doing research online, there are numerous Honda Pilot owners who are experiencing a similar problem with the airbag sensors and Honda is charging hundreds of dollars to fix a safety problem that seems to be widespread among this vehicle. I believe that this should be investigated as a recall item because it is a huge safety issue if the airbag sensors will not allow airbags to deploy in an accident. . Read more...

I noticed that the airbag sensor light is on. Took it to the dealer and he said it needs to be replaced. $350. 00. There are too many documented incidents where the 2005 Honda Pilot is having this problem. Especially when there was no impact. We as consumers need to make this clear to Honda that this is a safety issue that needs to addressed.

The srs light in my 2005 Honda Pilot is full on red. It started a few weeks before flashing but going off. Then it stayed on for a day and then it went off from a day. Now it's on all the time. I took it to the dealer and it wasn't covered under the extended warranty. It is the opds seat sensor and faulty power supply. This will cost me $989. 00 on top of the $81. 00 I paid to have the srs light diagnosed. I feel this is a safety issue and Honda should take car of this.

Srs light remained on. Paid $119 t Honda to do diagnosis [they won't do it without paying the fee]. Results said that it's a failed left side front sensor. Dealer asking for $285 on top of the fee. Based on the complaints here, Honda should be investigated as this might be a potential recall as its a safety issue. My Pilot has never been in an accident so no cause for the sensor to be defective other than poor design/workmanship and Honda should stand behind safety.

Right front airbag impact sensor failure. Just replaced the left front about 6 weeks prior. Planned obsolescence by Honda, I guess.

Drivers front airbag impact sensor failure.

Airbag front impact sensors failed on 2005 Honda Pilot ex. There was a recall for this same issue on the 2005 Honda odyssey. There should be a recall for this issue. How does a front airbag sensor go bad. This should have been handled by Honda. A recall should be issued for this reason. I know several people with different model Hondas that are having the same issue and are being charged hundreds of dollars. There is also a transmission problem with the Pilot radiators that I will fill out another complaint for. Thank you.

Wanted to call to your attention that the front impact sensor on my Honda Pilot 2005 needs replaced. The dealership says the part is on backorder with unknown availability. Without being replaced I was informed that none of my vehicles airbags will work currently. Also he stated that he has had to order 3 in the last week for other customers who have had the same problem from that dealership alone. Should this be considered for a recall?.

Both the left and right airbag sensors for my 2005 Honda Pilot exl failed six months apart. In the first case, in February 2009, the sensor light came on while we were driving back to pennsylvania from north carolina. Examination at the Honda dealer in PA determined that one of the two front sensors had failed due to corrosion and an electrical short. The unit was replaced. Six months later the sensor light came on again and it was determined that the other sensor failed. The cause of the failure was corrosion and an electrical short. In both cases, the airbag would not have operated had their been an accident. The dealer claimed the failures were, "just one of those things". Having worked with passive restraint systems in the past and having worked with nearly all automobile companies (including Toyota and Honda in japan), I doubted this explanation. These were improperly manufactured and sealed sensors and corrosion/failure was inevitable. This is a rare failure if the components are manufactured properly.

Srs - supplemental restraint system light keeps going on and off for no reason. It stays on and then goes off sometimes. It is for airbags.
