Supplemental restraint system indicator light remains (intermittently) illuminated beyond the normal time after starting vehicle. The problem appears to be the same as described in other "complaints" published in nhtsa recall campaign id number 07v001000. According to local honda dealership, this vehicle is not part of the recall group and does not qualify for cost free remediation by honda. *tr

I have a 2005 honda accord ex nav that has problems with the srs airbag light staying on. I've contact honda about why my car was not in the recall like the other accords in the same year model. They claim there isn't a problem. A srs airbag light that stays on is clearly a problem that seems to be consistent with the airbag recall of the other vehicles. I ask them to pay for the repair but they refused.
