    My 2000 honda accord ex v6 battery finally died on 01/30/2006. A new battery was replaced the same day and now the srs light stays on and won't go away. I contacted a local honda dealership and they want to charge me $90 just for diagnostic and the cost of repair. I searched on the internet and realized that is a common problem with many honda and acura car models after any power related issue. As proclaimed…

It is manufacturing defect that honda in not handling properly. *nm

    The srs light on my car has suddenly appeared and will not turn off. The dealer explained that it was probably a bad opds sensor because they have been receiving several complaints about it. I chose not to opt for the $600 repair. Perhaps also related is the fact that my side air bag indicator turns on frequently whenever a passenger shifts his weight to one side of the seat--it goes away once he moves back to the…

I see that this is a common problem and honda is not doing anything about it except charge people ridiculous prices to fix something that is a safety concern.

I called the salesperson who assured me that it was just a dashboard defect in that make and model -- nothing to worry about. At least once each year since, i've had to pay over $100 because the light came on again and the problem had to be re-diagnosed before the light was shut off. I've grown so used to…

    For past few years the srs light would flick on and off. Last month it stayed on and the dealer charged me over $300 to replace the opds sensor and clear the codes. The passenger seat is generally unoccupied. I understand that you have started an investigation into this disarming of the airbag and wanted to report this. *nm

    Srs light (air bags:frontal:sensor/control module): this light is on all of the time. I have gotten estimates of $75 to $110 just to analyze the problem. A search on the internet showed that hundreds of consumers are having to pay for the analysis of this light being on. This seems to me to be a major rip-off of consumers for a known, defective system!*ak
