SRS warning light turned on 3 times within first year of purchase (Jul. 01) the dealership gave an excuse that cell phone chargers will set it off. Within 2 years it turned on another 2 times and has stayed on ever since. Talked to another dealership and they said a cell phone charger should in no way cause that light to turn on. Turned to first dealership with this reply and they said since the warranty is up they would not do anything about it and still had no other reason it should be on. The date listed is the day a second dealership was confronted and first dealership confronted. Was referred by employee at a seperate repair shop.

SRS illuminated for no apparent reason. The vehicle is a 2001 Honda Accord ex. After dealer reset, the light came on again. When the light is on the SRS is rendered inoperative. The dealer was prepared with literature for reasons that might cause the light to illuminate. I think this situation should be considered as serious as faulty seat belt and/or harness failures which are covered by the dealer on an extended warranty basis. After reading many complaints about the SRS light stays on or illuminated it is obvious that my problem or system failure isnT an isolated case. It appears that many drives are accepting the light illuminated as irritating and to expensive to repair while their SRS system is totally inoperative. What might even be worse is that there are quick fixes on the internet to reset the light and by repeated resetting the light might mask or ignore the root problem. The dealer charge for the diagnostic test was $80. The dealer agreed to reset the light again concurrent with other maintenance. After a third reset by the dealer I was told that it would not reset and the control module would need to be replaced. Approximate total cost  $750.

SRS and side air bag lights come on and off intermittently regardless of pcs phone use and/or person/book bag in passenger seat. Brought to dealer in April 2004, said it was a weak battery. Had battery inspected by independant mechanic and was well with specifications for 3-4 yr old battery. Paid $39 to tell me that nothing was wrong. Noticed recall for 2000-2001 Honda Accord illuminator panel and discovered not the issue, but found this site and am amazed at the number of failures with no resolution or cause as to why this is occuring. Will contact dealership again with case studies obtained from this website.

All of the above dates and mileage are approximate. I have the information on paper at home. I have also had the hardest time with Honda financial services with them calling me and saying that I never paid my monthly bill (last fall), which I did, and then finally they found the check and said "oh, our mistake, it has been here the whole time." and then now, I have them saying that I was in default of my lease because they never had information for my insurance, which my insurance was supposed to send them that information. I checked back with them a week later (today) and they said that they were going to impound my car because my insurance company never got back with them. Called my insurance company, and it took 5 mins. To have someone fax over proof of insurance. That was all - was it that difficult"?" this car had to have the back brakes replaced after 25000 miles (about a month ago - it was making this awful noise, like rattling chains underneath) - that should not have happened. The back window tinting lifted up after 1 year, the tire blew out on the freeway 1 month after getting it (leased the car Aug 2001). The service engine light has come on twice, for no apparent reason. And the SRS light was on 2 different times. Had it turned off the 1st time. Then 1 week later it was back on, brought back to my dealership and they said it was something wrong with the computer system, but they could not give me a good enough explanation. When I first was looking for a car at the dealership, this car was not on the lot where all the other cars for sale were, it was in the back, by the service department. Asked the sales rep if the car was in okay condition and he said it was, and there was nothing wrong with it because it only had 10 miles on it - I should have known then. This car is a pain in the behind and it is just a hassle for everything that keeps happening with it.
