A SUV ran a stop sign and I impacted the SUV, at 45 miles per hour, directly against the right hand SUV rear door and wheel. My front sts (airbags) failed to deploy (this was the second accident in one year, both times no deployment) in a front end accident that totaled the car (estimate $7,000 for complete front end). Following the first incident, which caused $5,000 plus in frontal damage, Honda of America had the car's SRS system inspected and repaired. Honda of american now refuses to either look at or discuss the second incident. I look at a failure to deploy in a major accident as a major safety concern. And further look at Honda of America's failure to take the problem seriously as a major failure on their part concerning the safety of the public traveling in their products.

My Accord has similar problem as the Odyssey regarding the airbag light is on. I went to the service dept in atamian Honda, and the service advisor told me the censor inside of the passenger seat is rusted and caused the failure. I've contact Honda care, the extended warranty, and they told me the airbag does not cover under the "full coverage" warranty I purchased. If the Odyssey has a recall regarding the same airbag problem, I think my Accord should be covered too.

SRS indicator light came on 10/15/2004 when I started engine in the morning and the light stayed on after that. Car is maintained in good condition always, there was no problem with the car and it ran fine. Talked to dealers and all said they need to diagnose for a charge of 80-100$. I took the car to coral springs Honda on 10/22/2004 and they said SRS unit is bad and they charged $516 $ to replace it. I had to pay and replace the SRS unit (fp no. 77960-S84-A75, dtc 07-2 SRS unit, 6490148). It seems this is a generic failures as shown by many complaints here. Honda should pay for this problem fix and customers shouldn't be burdened with this replacement cost!

I took my Honda Accord 2001 in for service and mentioned that the SRS light blinks off and on. I was told later that the drivers side airbag had "gone bad". the mechanic said "it happens". the vehicle has never been in any kind of collision. Mechanic also told me that he has had several come in that way. It is not covered under warrantee, and is an $800 part. I would also like to mention that the side airbag light also flashes on and off and was told that the seatbelt was causing it. I don't think the part that a driver depends on to save them in a crash should just "go bad."
