    Few years ago i had problems with seat belt codes popping up. Took car to one of the dealers (do not remember which one..lost my receipt/paper work) and they supposedly fixed the problem. After that "fix" the reminder light and alarm for seat belts didn't light up at all (on a dash board), asked technicians about it at that time and was told that it is probably the light/alarm needs to be changing and that it is not…

    When driving along the highway the traction control light pops on along with the side air bag light. My transmission seems to be going out. When i'm at a complete stop and attempt to proceed through a green light the car seems to not want to get gas. I'm not sure what the problem is. Can someone please help me?

    I moved from arizona to florida. I had the airbag recall replacement. Three days ago i saw the srs (safety restraint system) light come on and stay on in my car. Because the recall is going into bankruptcy i am very concerned about the restraint system. Nothing has happened to the car. It just turned on. I contacted honda and they say they are not going to address this because i had the recall work done. I can't…

    The "srs" light has turned on in the instrument panel. Honda is trying to charge me $360 to diagnose the problem when it is obviously air bag/seat belt related. The light remains on during motion and while the engine is at idle. My vehicle is at 117,464 miles. My question is if honda has the right to charge me to diagnose something that is related to safety equipment.

I called the dealership when i got home and they told me they didn't do anything other than replace…

    I slowed down at a traffic light and my car was rear ended by another car who failed to apply the brakes and/or may have hit the gas pedal instead of the brakes. The car has been deemed a total loss as the car chassis seems to be crumpled. What i find very surprising is that neither the seat belts tighten nor the air bags were deployed despite being hit so hard. I was wondering what may have been the reason and what…

    Car was headed west in the left lane of a four lane highway. A big suv headed in the opposite direction was turning to the left. He didn't have time to go and stopped right in my lane. My car hit hers on the passenger side. When we crashed, both of my air bags exploded. I thought my car was on fire because smoke was coming from the bags. My right arm and hand swelled up so big and is still painful. I think there…

    Srs warning light came on while parked. Took vehicle to dealership, where diagnostic service showed the driver's side seat belt detection mechanism was failing to function properly. This safety system is connected to the airbags, but is not covered under warranty (per american honda and local dealer). This malfunction is a known problem, but honda will not repair/replace without charging customer, thereby putting…

The belt twisted and i was unable to loosen it working on it for 15 to 20 minutes. The belt became tighter each time i tried to release it. His foot became red as there was not any circulation to his right foot. I ended up…

    My 2002 honda accord v6 coupe has a problem with the safety restraint system. I brought it to dealer, and i was told that it was a seat belt buckle switch failure, and it would cost $200+ to fix, even though the owners manual states that all seat belt problems have a lifetime warranty. I refused to pay to have it fixed, and they sent me away, informing me that the srs system is shut down. This is a big safety…

This meant the safety restraint systems such as seat belt tensioners and airbags would not function until srs problem is corrected.

    Srs light stays on. Seat belts were replaced and warning light reset,but came on after a couple of miles. Now there is a recall on the air bag inflators, but the seat belt control module, which activates the inflators is defective, and not covered under any update or recall program. I understand that the air bags will not deploy in a crash if the srs light is on. This is a fairly common problem and in my opinion…

The problem was at first intermittent. I read that there was recall in regards to the seat belts and that was causing the problem. I took the car in to the honda dealer for servicing. He did not acknowledge the safety recall and said they…
