Airbag light comes on intermittently. Told by Honda dealer that this is due to seatbelt part that is faulty on the driver's side. Is this part of a recall? I bought the car in 2017 and I am not sure what recalls have been missed.

I had the driver's air bag replaced under recall. Received recall notice on passenger air bag and had it replace. After that recall, the SRS warning light came on and won't go off. Had Honda dealer check it and was told that it's the driver's side sensor in the seat belt clip. Cost would be over $800 to fix. If SRS light is on air bag won't deploy. This is a safety issue and should have a recall on it since the SRS light was not causing a problem until the passenger air bag was replaced. Car has about 82,000 miles on it.

"takata recall" - on Nov 19, 2016, I had an accident. I was going down a sandy dirt road and heard a loud pop or bang (ended up being the stabilizer bar broke) and suddenly the steering wheel was jerked to the left, slamming the car into a ditch where there was a full embankment. I was slung to the left, hitting my head on the drivers side window, while at the same time the side curtain airbags and the side seat airbag deployed, bouncing me back to center. To my shock and wonder the drivers side, steering wheel air bag never deployed, which has concerned me every since the accident.

Takata recall: I took my car in to get the airbag replaced per the recall notice. My airbag malfunction light came on just after the replacement. I took the car back and they wanted $125 just to diagnose the problem. A garage said it was the seat belt buckle causing the problem. In the manual it clearly states that "Honda will repair or replace, at its option, any Honda seat belt component that fails to function properly during its normal use. This includes all parts and labor charges." My greenwich, ct Honda said they had never heard of this warranty and they would not honor it. I called Honda America, 2 people said it was covered, the final person said no. I have read forums and talked to many others, as you can see that have this problem. It is a safety issue and my airbags will not deploy in an accident. If it is the sensor, that is a component of the seat belt. It is clearly faulty on these cars. On forums many people have had this problem and some Honda have fixed it free of charge, and others will not. My garage gave me a quote of $282 for part and $95 labor.

  • 17,300 miles
The SRS (safety restraint system) warning light came on in my 2005 Honda CRV with less than 18,000 miles on it. The light will not go out. The car has never been in an accident. The Honda dealer has performed diagnostic tests that indicate that nothing is wrong and the air bags should deploy and seat belts should work in an accident. Who do I believe -- the warning light or the diagnostic tests. I don't like driving a car that has a warning light indicating something is wrong with a safety system.
