They also stated that the seat belt could have locked up because the airbag light is on. Someone was sitting in the seat and…

    The air bag dash light comes on intermittently. The light will come on and go off randomly. Stays on for days then will go off for days. My concern is about safety. Will the air bag not deploy in the event of a collision while the light is on?

    The driver's side air bag light stays on. The dealer wants to charge a ridiculous amount of money to "search every wire associated" with the air bag system. This was a problem with 2005's manufactured 7/20/2004-10/8/2004 and they were recalled. Apparently, the problem was never fixed and multiple vehicle owners have reported this. Why has the recall not been extended to all 2005's? I fear for my safety every time i…

Rt. 23 honda, pompton plains, nj did the replacement. They want $300 for each vehicle to fix the problem that they say is not related to the airbag replacement.
