I purchased a 2002 Honda Accord coupe brand new in 2002. Almost immediately after the purchase the SRS indicator light began to indicate a problem with the airbag and restraint system. The indicator light illuminated intermittently at first but finally remained on constantly. I made the dealership aware of this and they refused to acknowledge a manufacturer problem and I had to pay for repairs in order to pass inspection. In the spring of 2006 Honda finally acknowledge a problem and sent notification to owners. I was reimbursed for the money I had paid for repairs. Given the problems that had been reported they extended the warranty on this part for all owners. Unfortunately, a malfunction of the SRS happened again in 2006. Again I had to pay out of pocket for repairs. Again I submitted the information to Honda and was reimbursed. Finally, in 2009 another problem with the SRS was discovered. I assumed all would be as before and that I could submit a claim and be reimbursed. Honda did pay to have the problem evaluated, but this time Honda refused to acknowledge a problem and denied the claim for reimbursement. I have been in talks with Honda over this issue since February 2009. I have appealed their denial as often as possible because it's obvious this part was defective from the beginning. Now, a recall of Honda involving the SRS system is under way, but again my claim is being denied. I am being told that the part in question is not defective. However, I think it's obvious that something is wrong with the entire SRS system in this model year Honda and they should acknowledge this. Honda was late in acknowledging a problem from the beginning and it seems to me that this is more of them taking no responsibility for their error. I do hope other owners have come forward as I am to make Honda take responsibility and to reimburse owners for the expenses they have incurred for Honda's defective part.

My experience very similar to complaint #10311376. The SRS warning light came on and stayed on this 2002 american mfg. Accord with only 23,336 miles. I inquired whether the "recall" or extended warranty applied, and the service department told me it did not apply because the faulty part was a sensor in the seat belt latch, not in the module for the opds. Replacement will cost about $200. A part #04813-S84 - A33zc, buckle set, was ordered. The disconnected the sensor so the light won't glow until the sensor is fixed. They also said the air bag won't deploy if the SRS light is on.
