SRS light. This involves airbag system on 2001 Honda Accord ex. This will not allow airbags to deploy in a case of an accident. This was not repair by dealer, because they said we need to replace it and I believe it should be a manufactured recall by Honda. This should be repaired by Honda, not by owner of vehicle.

I received the Honda Accord recall information mailer during the summer 2009 from Honda corporation. I quickly called my neighborhood Honda dealer and inquired about the recall. I was told they needed to order the necessary parts and I would be called when the parts were available- about 1 weeks time. Yesterday (February 9th, 2010) I received a call from Honda that there was an expanded recall and additional Honda vehicles were recalled for the same problem with the airbags. This message reminded me that I had never heard back from sussex Honda regarding the recall from the summer-time. I wanted to file a complaint that the local Honda dealership had failed to address the recall in a timely manner. This could have lead to injury or death to me, members of my young family and the public at large.

Took in our 2001 Honda Accord to have drivers side air bag recall work done. SRS warning light went out, but came back on in a week. Cookeville Honda said this time it was the passenger side airbag, not a recall item, just a frequent problem that would have been covered by warranty, but our car has over 157,000 miles. If it is a problem and is a safety issue, shouldn't they have to fix it regardless of the mileage?

SRS light on all the time. Called 2 Honda dealers, both told me that there was a 93 dollar diagnostic fee. Research reveals that there is a Honda service bulletin 06-009. On page 7 it states that the inspection is free of charge even if there is not a problem with the opds system. If you have paid for repairs in the past you may be eligible for reimbursement. Honda also states, problems done after warranty expiration my be eligible for goodwill consideration by the district parts and service manager or zone office. Do not give up easily.

Accord 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 88,000 miles
The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. The contact was experiencing issues with the SRS air bag warning indicator constantly illuminating on the instrument panel. Her VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 08V593000 (air bags:frontal:driver side inflator module), although the failures were identical. The dealer stated that they were unaware of any recalls and the failure she was experiencing may not have been associated with the recall. In addition, the driver's side seat belt would often fail to operate. The failure and current mileages were less than 88,000. Updated 04/24/09. The consumer also stated the seat belt do not lock even when the brakes were applied. Updated 04/28/09.

Air bag SRS indicator light came on and stays on. I learned through owners on the internet concerning past problems with air bags and difficulty at Honda dealerships on this problem. Upon contacting Honda customer service, they informed me that my VIN number is not covered by the extended warranty of 10 years or 150,000 miles. I feel that this is a very serious defect, do to the air bags will not deploy on impact while the SRS light is on. My 2001 Honda has 84,000 miles and purchased it June of 2003.

For the past several months, I've noticed the SRS light come on & remain on (usually after I have started my 2001 Honda Accord 4-dr sedan) it goes out @ indeterminate times & then does it again seemingly when it feels like it. I understand that it corresponds to the airbags which are interestingly part of the vehicles' "safety" equipment, however, isn't covered to remain in working condition - at no cost to vehicle owner (I bought the vehicle new & I am the owner). I have seen hundreds (over 400) of complaints re. The identical failure of this "safety" issue & have yet to see anyone in a position of authority do anything to correct the situation. Please add me to the list of complainants. Thank you

My son was in an accident where he lost control of his 01 Honda Accord and hit a tree. The car is totaled. Though there is all of this damage the air bags did not deploy. He hit the tree going about 25 mph after sliding on ice.

Accord

  • 75,000 miles
SRS light on, based on the information available to me I believe the airbags will fail to deploy when the SRS light is illuminated. Honda does not cover the repair as they feel airbags are a secondary safety feature, however the fact that it had airbags and a good safety rating played a large part in my decision to purchase the 2001 Accord. If manufacturers are going to exploit positive safety reviews I feel they should cover them for the life of the vehicle so long as the fault is detected by a manufacturer installed on board computer, I.e. SRS light on. My wife and two kids are the primary occupants of this vehicle, it is important to me that the safety features are functional.

problem #97

Accord

  • 81,000 miles
The contact owns a 2001 Honda Accord. While driving 40 mph, the front passenger door air bag deployed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they advised the contact to call the insurance company. The insurance company investigated the failure, but could not determine the reason for the deployment. A report was filed with the manufacturer and they stated that the 2001 Accord was not included in NHTSA campaign id number 07V001000 (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module); therefore, they would not assist with the repair. The failure mileage was 81,000 and current mileage was 82,000.
