I drive a 2005 Honda Pilot. My safety restraint indicator light came on a few days ago. Upon checking with the dealer, the system airbag contacts were found to be defective and need to be replaced. Thankfully, I have an extended warranty that covers repair, which is costly. My colleague also drives a 2005 Honda (element) and had the same indicator light come on within two days of mine. He doesn't have an extended warranty. The coincidence is too much. There must be something wrong with the safety restraints on 2005 Honda. Others must be experiencing similar issues.

Both the left and right airbag sensors for my 2005 Honda Pilot exl failed six months apart. In the first case, in February 2009, the sensor light came on while we were driving back to Pennsylvania from North Carolina. Examination at the Honda dealer in pa determined that one of the two front sensors had failed due to corrosion and an electrical short. The unit was replaced. Six months later the sensor light came on again and it was determined that the other sensor failed. The cause of the failure was corrosion and an electrical short. In both cases, the airbag would not have operated had their been an accident. The dealer claimed the failures were, "just one of those things". having worked with passive restraint systems in the past and having worked with nearly all automobile companies (including Toyota and Honda in Japan), I doubted this explanation. These were improperly manufactured and sealed sensors and corrosion/failure was inevitable. This is a rare failure if the components are manufactured properly.
