    My 2002 honda accord has a failed srs unit which honda will not repair under the extended warranty. It will cost me $580 to fix it. It affects safety because if i do not repair it my air bags will not deploy. There was a class action suit for opds so now they pay that but they will not pay for this. *tr

    2002 honda accord, 4 dr, manual trans, srs light stays on after passenger seat got wet or two much humidity in car. First time, dealer reset under warranty, second time, they wanted $75 - found website www.geocities.com/myintegra96/srs.html where directions are listed for resetting - it works, have done it on my car. Someone should force honda to correct this, though - love my honda, hate the light. *tr

    Side airbag lights often come on and off for no reason. This has happened for almost two years now. I had called dealership regarding this situations. But they advised me that they could not do anything unless the side air bag light kept staying on. I assume whenever the light came on passenger was leaning on the chair in a certain way, but i noticed that the side airbag light would come on with or without a…

    The side air bag light intermittently illuminates. To force the light off, i pull the side of the passenger seat towards the center of the auto. This only occurs when the seat is empty. I have taken to the honda delarship and they state their diagnostics show nothing wrong and that i must have the light on in order to possibly find something wrong. Of course the last time it came on, i entered the parking lot of the…

    Side airbag light keeps coming on by itself, what this does is that it shuts off the side airbags on the car when the light somes on, nothing has been done to correct the problem honda will charge for fixing it even if the car is still under warranty
