Since the car has never been in an accident , the airbag system has never been touched since the…

Honda sent a recall for the airbags. Took to dealership and they said they would fix for free. Had me wait 2 hours while they didn't do anything but look at my car. The srs light is still on. The government should step in and do something about it. How is it that thousands of hondas are riding around and the airbag wont even deploy if you get into a accident. Not to mention honda wont even make sure that its safe.…

The airbags have never been deployed before in the car and after some searching have found that this is a common problem with the year make model of car.

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…

Honda accord 2001 needs new opds unit i noticed that my side air bag light came on and shortly after that the srs light came on. When i took it to the honda dealer they told me that i needed a new opds unit at $6662.70. Now that seems ungodly steep. But to top it off when i went online to research it, i find that many honda owners are experiencing exactly the same thing i am. I think honda should replace it. *tr
