SRS Light on for a while in Honda Civic, Contacted Dealer as this car was messed with by another dealership last year during light swsitch recall, so wanted only other Dealership to diagnose the issue with SRS but diagnosis alone is $157 and since my auto mechanic cannot read the diagnosis Honda has put or installed this restricted setting on the car. Seat belts and seat bekt sensors may be bad and seat belt cant stick on driver's side, indicating a safety issue, Transmission exhibiting trouble and revs up when shifting, hard to shift gears with automatic gear shift problems. This should not be happening and brand new engine had to be competely installed with new engine blocks, and new radiator and watter pump need due to failing.

Since the purchase of the vehicle the SRS warning light has continuously stayed illuminated on the dash board. My first thought of course was something was either wrong with the air bag system or the vehicle was involved in a collision that led to the air bags (which ones I have no clue) being deployed and so when I signed the bill of sale with the dealer I inquired about this issue and was given a paper that states the dealer did not know as well as to whaylt the airbag system status was but was to be excluded from liability to this issue by making up this ridiculous document. After seeing the car fax the vehicle was then known to have been in a head on collision in 2018 and so the dealer lied a bout not knowing anything about this issue. This dealer has been totally non compliant with the process of getting this issue addressed let alone fixed and I have tried on several attempts to talk to owner without any callback or answers. I knly get hounded about what they believe to be the balance due on the vehicle that's it. Just today I ran the VIN inn the database and sure enough there was an open recall on the air bag systwmm in accordance with this VIN and that's when I decided to file this complaint.

I have had my SRS light on since I purchased this car in July of 2017. My seat belts do not lock at the appropriate times. I was also involved in a wreck driving in rain on the interstate and hydroplaned. I hit a median going about 50 mph. No air bags ejected from the impact. The results of the impact were a dented fender, replacement of the driver side control arm, new ball joints, as well as a desperately needed tire alignment. I feel if this impact was hard enough to bend the control arm then my air bags should have ejected, but I'm no mechanic. Thank you.

Airbag (SRS) light constantly appears for faulty seatbelt sensor. The seatbelt sensor is constantly failing dispute getting it serviced. It's very dangerous as it could result in the airbag not deploying.

Takata recall: I rolled my car on my way to work in August of 2015. I had gotten a letter 2 weeks prior of an airbag recall. I called the local dealerships but due to high volume I was put on a waiting list. My airbags didn't deploy and my driver's seatbelt didn't lock. I suffered a fracture to the base of my skull and a traumatic brain injury. I couldn't work at all for 9 months and could only work 10-15 hours a week for several months after that. A week after the car accident I was fired from my job without severance pay and I called Honda headquarters and they told me to keep checking for class action lawsuits. I was driving on a backroad going 40 mph and I hit some lose gravel. I over reacted and turned the wheel causing me to make a U turn. I hit my breaks hard to stop and make sure my seatbelt would lock. The momentum of stopping caused my Honda to roll. Since the airbags didn't deploy my face repeatedly hit the steering wheel and because my seatbelt didn't lock my head smashed the roof of the Honda repeatedly.

Takata recall----Civic had unceasing lighted SRS lights on dashboard during month of June 2014. Honda mechanics informed me that the condition meant the air bags would not inflate if a need occurred. Repeated visits to Honda during which they kept car for 2 days and than 3 days. They made me pay bills of $292.56 and $705.19 for a new SRS computer system so air bags would work

For everyone wondering if the SRS sensor is something that needs to be recalled.. I will tell you yes!! I bought my 2002 Civic new and in August 2003 I totaled out my car. Neither air bag deployed and my seat belt (which I use to believe in) released while my car flipped several times and I was ejected. Since my seatbelt released in the middle of flipping somehow wrapped around and cut and burned my arm. My arm was almost amputated 3/4 of the way. Thank god for the 2 inches and my amazing doctors I was able to keep my arm after six surgeries including plastic surgery. My arm was also broke. I now have radial nerve damage which means I can not open and close my hand along with limp wrist. Also both hips were fractured along with my pelvic.due to the lacerations from my seat belt an artery was cut where I lost alot of blood and was told I was touch and go at the time and were not sure if I was going to make it, after blood transfusions and surgeries I am beyond thankful to be here today. At the age of 25 I was put on disability and also had to file bankruptcy due to I had over 100K in medical bills. For those of you that are having problems with this please get it fixed it could mean more than you know. I refuse to ever buy a Honda again 10 years later they now say there are problems with this car. I hate Honda Corp with everything in me. I will never be able to play catch with my children and will never remember what its like to just do easy tasks that now takes me hours. Thanks for allowing me to share my complaint!

The SRS airbag light is always on, the seat belt buckle is sensing excessive resistance in the squib for the pretensioner. We have replaced the seat belt buckle once already, and it failed again. So the SRS airbag light is on which means my airbags will not go off if involved in an accident. Is this a safety issue" I see it as a safety issue and Honda will not do anything to fix the problem. Can you please let me know if this is an issue Honda should be made to repair"

The SRS (secondary restraint system) light came on. It originally happened while the was under warranty with the previous owner. Under 36,000 miles. The Honda dealer where the car was serviced reset the light, replaced the seatbelt buckle but were unable to determine the cause of the SRS light coming back on. Multiple times. I believe this means the airbags are not working. Honda accepts no responsibility for this defect. And claim that since it occurred under warranty under the former owners of the car they are not responsible for fixing it.

This is regarding an open recall letter that we received and we took it to the dealer and they stated that it already had been completed. Which light is still on and the letter of the recall and the light still say that it is not done but all the dealers state that it is. We are not wanting to believe that it is true. So if there is another area that I need to be at please let me know we are just looking for this stuff to be resolved and Honda held responsible for it.

Drivers seatbelt will not fasten. It takes six to seven tries and will then only lock in place with the use of excessive force. Sometimes it takes longer to get it fastened.

My SRS light came on and continued to stay on. I did nothing out of the ordinary. I simply started my car, put the seat belt on and started driving when I noticed the SRS light come on. The Honda dealership inspected the issue and found it was a seat belt buckle switch malfunction. They told me that if the problem is not fixed it could be very dangerous. I was told that in the case of an accident, the seat belt may fail and the airbags will not deploy. I had the issue repaired for $295. After recently looking through old receipts, I found that there was a recall in 2007 for the opds and the SRS light staying on. In that case, the airbags were in danger of not deploying as well if someone was out of position in the seat. It seems to me that there is an issue with Civic's SRS system and the seat belt buckle switch is an ongoing and related issue as well. Seat belts are covered under a lifetime warranty but for some reason the buckle switch is not. In any case, I'm wondering why there hasn't been a recall on the seat belt buckle switch when it is a prevalent problem with this vehicle. Years after I had this issue, I am seeing on the internet that many people are still having the same problem. Something as important as seat belts and airbags failing in this vehicle during an accident should have been recalled immediately.

My SRS light continues to illuminate, even after resetting it. It seems as if latching and/or unlatching the seat belt triggers the light. However, I'm apprehensive to pay a labor rate of $107/hour for the dealer to follow their "flowchart" to possibly find the issue. I am worried with the SRS light illuminated that the airbags will not deploy in a front collision and believe Honda should recall all vehicles of my type to have airbags and seat belts sensors checked free of charge. I have seen a few bulletins/recalls for 2002 Civics, but not for the 2002 Civic si, which is the model I own.

I bought a new 02 Honda Civic ex. On Aug 31 03 it had been raining and I looked down for a moment and when I looked up I was on the edge of the road jerking my car back onto the road my car slid impacting a mailbox on my passenger front side then preceded to flip several times. Neither airbag deployed (I was told due to the first impact was not to the front). While flipping my seatbelt released me throwing me out of the driver window landing face first in the middle of the road. My injuries my left arm was severely burned doctors conclude my seatbelt wrapped around my arm due to the flipping the seatbelt cut my arm 3/4 of the way almost amputating it. I went through 6 surgeries and now have radial nerve damage and limp wrist. I can not extend my fingers and will never be able to.I also broke that arm having an external cast since my arm was cut. I fractured my front & back hip on my right side, my left pelvic bone and the left front hip bone. I spent over a month in the hospital. I was determined at 25 disabled! I was told by attorneys the wreck was my fault so therefore my car malfunctioning and my injuries received was my fault to deal with it. Which I have and will from now on. I hope one day someone will do something about what has happened to people. The wreck was my fault, but the injuries I received was not!
