SRS light remains on possibly to the defective seat belt sensor as others have complained about. Presently I need to replace front struts $800 - normal wear and tear for a car with 95000 miles on it. I hate the new Honda Civic - I have no idea what they were thinking when they designed it so I decided to keep mine and have the normal stuff fixed. But - this is something that I am not the only one complaining about. Let's get the SRS light covered under a recall.

The SRS light on my dashboard of Honda Civic 2001 stays on. Upon working with an authorized dealer, the diagnosis of this error is "left front seatbelt buckle switch failure" (code 09-3). I was verbally told that this means in event of a crash the airbags would not deploy. I cursory search of internet forums suggests my case is not an isolated incident. When I requested the dealership and subsequently Honda motor co to resolve this issue, which has to be considered safety related, I was told it is not covered under warranty. Given the potential of airbag non deployment, I would request urgent attention in this matter.

Noticed that the SRS light was on when I started up my car. I took it to the garage to be diagnosed and was told that it was the seat belt on th drivers side and the part was ordered and fixed. Cost was $540. The car only has 52,000 kg and one driver and has been serviced as recommended.

The SRS light came on and stayed on while driving, which per the owner manual indicated a failure in the air bag and seat belts. If the vehicle was in an accident these components will not function. Dealership will be contacted.
- Visalia, CA, USA
The driver was unable to place anything over 80 pounds on the passenger seat. If this happens the SRS light appeared on the dashboard and remained on until the mechanic reset it. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for inspection. The mechanic informed the driver that it was designed that way. The mechanic has reset it over five times and the problem still occurs at this time.
