I have had my 2001 honda accord for quite a few years. Every now and then, it seems if i put something on the passenger seat or just starting and driving off the srs light comes on. I have taken it to the dealership for resets quite a few times but the problem still occurs. Was there ever a recall for the srs since it will not deploy air bags while the light is on? Can i get this fixed through a recall or do i need…

2001 accord lx has 59,000 miles on it. Two weeks ago the srs light came on for no reason. Did some research and discovered this is a very common problem with these cars. The airbags will not deploy while this light is on. Serious safety issue . *tr

I have a 2001 honda accord, 2 years ago the srs light came on and stayed on. I took the car to the dealer and they charged me $118.00 to reset it. This year, september 2008 the light came on again and has stayed on. It is a known problem with honda dealer , yet they will not cover the cost of getting this fixed. Now my passenger airbag will not deploy. I have seen many complaints about this same problem. It should…

Srs light (supplemental safety restraints...air bags) stays on all the time on my 2001 honda accord. Air bags should be warranted for life of car, i would think, but honda dealers keep blowing me off. I see on internet that many other 2001 hondas have had same problem. *tr

2001 honda accord srs light remains on. Service dept. Said car is "safe" to drive. "good news is that the airbags won't deploy when you are driving around. The bad news is that the airbags won't deploy in an accident." my research shows that honda is not concerned about consumers with this issue. There is no type of warranty coverage and it is a very expensive fix with marginal results (likely to recur). I should…

The transmission in my honda accord 2001 has been faulty for at least 2 years now. There was a recall on the transmission but the recall expired according to honda. There is no option but to fix the transmission if it blows and that's basically what i'm waiting for. Honda has not guaranteed that if the transmission is fixed, it will not happen again. I took my car into a honda dealership twice for airbag recalls and…

Srs light came up recently. Diagnostics test showed that there is some issue with the airbags and they won't be deployed correctly. So i have to replace them and its not covered by honda warranty. I have to replace this for safety reasons and this is going to cost me a lot of money. *tr

For the past several months, i've noticed the srs light come on & remain on (usually after i have started my 2001 honda accord 4-dr sedan) it goes out @ indeterminate times & then does it again seemingly when it feels like it. I understand that it corresponds to the airbags which are interestingly part of the vehicles' "safety" equipment, however, isn't covered to remain in working condition - at no cost to vehicle…

Srs light on, based on the information available to me i believe the airbags will fail to deploy when the srs light is illuminated. Honda does not cover the repair as they feel airbags are a secondary safety feature, however the fact that it had airbags and a good safety rating played a large part in my decision to purchase the 2001 accord. If manufacturers are going to exploit positive safety reviews i feel they…

My srs light has been on since approximately june 2006. I haven't had any problems getting an inspection during this time until now. I took my car in to have it inspected and failed due to srs light. I took it to the dealership that i bought it from in september of 2003 and they said it would cost $773.00 to repair the srs control module. They charged me $110.00 for the diagnosis, which would go to the cost of…

I have had my 2001 honda accord for about 7 years and only recently had problems with it. First, my alarm system has been malfunctioning. The alarm will go off every so often for no reason, especially at night disturbing the neighborhood. I have to go run to the window to try to turn off the alarm. I took it to the dealer to have a $100 diagnostic test only to tell me that my alarm system was the problem (something…

Several months ago the srs light came on in my 2001 honda accord for no reason. I was not in an accident and there were no other reasons for the light to come on. Now i don't have airbags so i hope that i am not in an accident in the future. I was told it would cost about $800 to fix this problem. *tr

On 26th october 2007, friday, it was raining heavily in new jersey. When i arrived at work, the car was fine. When i started back home, the vehicle's srs light was permanently on. It still is after 4 days. Researching, i found out that this is a common occurrence in this model year of this vehicle and is very expensive to fix. Kindly take action to make sure this isn't an expensive repair for thousands of consumers…

Honda accord 2001 lx, 40000 miles. 1. Since two months ago, srs light is constantly on. 2. I understand that while srs light is 'on', driver airbag will not deploy. 3. I was told by the honda dealership that this car is not covered under an extended warranty and that i will be responsible for inspection and repair of this problem. I found out that this particular problem is a common one among honda owners. It should…

Srs light is on. I have been told honda accord 2001 will activate the srs light by the use of cell phone or laptop preventing the air bags from deploying in case of a accident. I the light is on the system will not respond in case of a accident. I consider this a safety issue between dead y live. A recall should be done by honda to correct all cars affected. I really don't have $700.00 dollars to get this fix. *tr

After starting my 2001 honda accord the srs light came on and will not stay off. This light indicates that the air bags will not deploy in a major collision. I went to my dealer and spoke with the maintenance supervisor and he indicated that this was a very common problem with this model of automobile. He also said that honda does not have a recall or extended warranty for this problem. Reading the internet chat…

Srs light illuminated for no apparent reason. Have had the light reset and it came on soon thereafter. Have read numerous complaints with similar descriptions and no resulting action or remedy from manufacturer. This should be unacceptable as this is safety equipment and could potentially threaten the lives of driver and occupants. *tr

I have a 2001 honda accord ex v6 and a 2003 honda pilot. Both vehicles have the srs light on all the time. I have been told that hand radio interference and cell phones can trigger the srs light to go on making the srs inoperable. My wife carries a hand radio and drives both vehicles. We both have cell phones. I have researched this and this seems to be a big problem with honda. I believe that honda should repair…
