My 'srs" dashboard light came on for no reason on my 2002 honda accord lx. The light stays on. Per a honda web forum, the problem is either the air bags will not deploy or a defective air bag sensor. There are many complaints about this. This is a safety factor. I think there should be a recall on this. *tr

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…

My 2002 honda accord had a failed srs unit which honda repaired but issued me a bill stating it was not covered under the extended warranty. Stating a fail code of 15-3 (opds sensor) that is clearly covered under the 06-009 honda service bulletin. It cost me $85 for them to clear the code, stating that the cause was electrical interference like a cell phone or laptop. It is an important safety issue because if at…

My experience very similar to complaint #10311376. The srs warning light came on and stayed on this 2002 american mfg. Accord with only 23,336 miles. I inquired whether the "recall" or extended warranty applied, and the service department told me it did not apply because the faulty part was a sensor in the seat belt latch, not in the module for the opds. Replacement will cost about $200. A part #04813-s84 - a33zc,…

This became a problem about 1 month after driving it off of the used car lot approximately 04/2005. The srs indicator light is always on on the dashboard. This is not general wear and tear on the vehicle as i've never been in an accident and have never done anything to damage the airbags. I"ve attempted to call honda regarding this issue but they maintain it is not covered under warranty and they tried to…

The srs light on my dash board is on and won't go off. After some research i understand that this is a common problem in honda accords. The srs light indicates that there is a problem with the seat belt or airbags. As far as i'm concerned both are very necessary in providing to all occupants in the vehicle. *tr

The srs airbag light is on my 2002 honda accord ex. My best friend has the same car and his is on also after 75k. Apparently this problem is in just every accord 98-02 and its not covered under the warranty because it is an electrical problem. It can cost from 400 to 1000 dollars to fix. This is crazy! They should recall these vehicles because clearly....if everyone i know with an accord has the same problem then…
