SRS light came on while driving. Took to dealer they could not find anything wrong, reset the system. While still at dealer start the car, and the SRS light stays on. They tell me it's a possible cable reel problem, when they take a look at it there isn't anything wrong. They reset the system, and made multiple test drives without the light coming on. Next time I start the car the light comes on. They have no idea what is wrong, but I can pay to have the airbag replaced, and the internal computer of the car replaced. I have yet to take it back since they don't know what is wrong.
My dashboard light showing a problem with the airbag system went on. I took the car to a dealer for a diagnosis. They charged me $55.20. For the diagnosis and told me that the air bag on the passenger side had increased pressure and the system shut down. Neither airbag would deploy if I was in an accident. The charge to fix it was $1200 and it was not still under warrantee. I spoke with their customer service rep in Chicago and he offred me $300 toward the repair and I then spoke to their customer service manager who uped the offer to half - $600. Everyone acknowledges that the system is a static system and there has been no wear and tear on the system. All involved say they have not seen it happen before, but they will not fix it under warrantee. The customer service manager told me it was because airbags are not a mandated safety item. This car has not been in an accident. The air bags have never deployed. There is no reason for the system to stop working, but it did. One other note is that the mileage reading on this car is 47147, however, the true mileage is approximately 62,000. The speedometer with the odometer had to be replaced at 16,000 miles because it malfunctioned.
Engine seal went bad and leaked out oil. SRS airbag light came on and mechanic told SRS control unit went bad with a repair of $600. Contacted Honda and there was no recall for either part.
Air bag sensor light remained on. Dealer notified, and informed consumer that vehicle was not covered under manufacturer's recall, and repairs would be at consumer's cost.
Airbag warning light comes on, indicating a malfunction in SRS. This would possibly leave a passenger in vehicle without airbag protection in case of a crash. Dealer replaced airbag system.
