The srs light comes on in my 2001 honda accord v6. Searching on the internet it seems as this is a common problem with this model. When the light is on the air bag will not deploy so i feel this is a safety hazard and there should be a recall to fix this problem. *tr

The srs air bag light has come on and will not go off. This is the airbag sensor and controls the deployments of airbags. After researching complaints on my vehicle type and year, 85% are related to this airbag light. Even after mandated recall, the problem still persists. How can this be ignored? Airbags are a mandatory safety device installed to save lives. Evidently the recall repairs did not resolve the problem.…

Took in our 2001 honda accord to have drivers side air bag recall work done. Srs warning light went out, but came back on in a week. Cookeville honda said this time it was the passenger side airbag, not a recall item, just a frequent problem that would have been covered by warranty, but our car has over 157,000 miles.
