My air bag light came on then went off and kept doing that for quite a while. I purchased the car new in Connecticut in 2000, but now live in North Carolina. I brought the car to Honda in myrtle beach, South Carolina but the light was not on and they said they could not find out why the air bag light came on. My oil light also comes once in a while then goes off. They checked that too (charged me over $60) and sent me on my way. How can I find out what's really going on?

SRS indicator on dashboard. Car needs this repaired before valid MA inspection sticker can be applied. Honda dealer repaired first "SRS incident" driver's side seat buckle. Honda dealer declared problem fixed. Drove car home. 2 days later, SRS indicator re-appears on dashboard. Took car back to Honda dealer. Honda dealer now says that car required new opds sensor. Approximate repair cost: Just under $500. No mention of previous recall regarding this issue for all Honda Accord 2000-2001. Recall was extended to 10 years and 157,000 miles. Current mileage under 154,000 miles. Called Honda corporate offices. Both Honda dealer and Honda corporate unwilling to help. Can NHTSA help with getting Honda to abide by old recall? I never received a notice. I believe the SRS repair from last week resulted in the current SRS opds failure. I can see many angry Honda Accord owners on internet web sites. Add me to the list.

To whom it may concern, through this letter, I wish to inform you of my disagreement with the evaluation of the air bags in my 2000 Honda Accord. I was involved in an accident and the air bags did not deploy to protect me. When I addressed my concern to the dalton Agency, I was informed that the service manager, manuel pez navarro and the head of mechanics, jorge cardenas only do oil change and filters. They advised if I wanted to know why the air bags did not function correctly, that I should pay a technician $600 pesos to connect a scanner to my car to see if there is an error in the system, an error that may have been there from the beginning when the car was assembled. Please understand that the factory invoice for my auto specifies that it has air bags at the highest security level. That is why I"ve taken my car to be service regularly at the dalton Agency to keep all warranties in place. I placed my trust in the Agency, in the Honda company and in the global brand and feel that I have been misled about service and quality. I am totally disappointed by the lack of concern from individual lives. The trauma, injury and rehabilitation after the accident has been terrible, least having to deal with you has caused unnecessary frustration and fear. Knowing that the air bag situation has been called a simple mistake or accident does not help my dilemma. Luckily I am alive today, but a few centimeters could have made a big difference and caused a tragic story. What has happened to me could have happen to anyone else, especially someone having a hard time in life. Please consider taking responsibility and do the ?right thing?. I?M attaching pictures and copies of all documents for your review and providing the following information: License plate #: 124-ppu service history: 2001 " present service Agency: Honda dalton polanco de mxico, D.F.

Driver side airbag light on unexpected and instable..(sometime on, sometime off).

- Houston, TX, USA

SRS indicator remains on and it looks like it is due to faulty driver's seat belt buckle switch. This is issue recognized by the Honda via bulletin but refused to fix it. This issue related to air bag and should be fixed since it is a basic safety issue which should be covered. Both Honda and dealer dulles Honda are refused to address this issue even though this is basic safety issue for the driver or passenger if air bag does not deploy.

I was pulling into the parking space after driving the vehicle for 45 mins (approx. 20 miles). When I was ready park the car and switch off the ignition, the car suddenly accelerated way too fast and hit the building in front. I was driving into the parking space at less than around 10 mph as I had to make 3 turns within 100 feet before coming into vacant parking space. My leg was also in the break pedal as I made those turns after getting into the private property from il rte 83. I can definitely confirm that my leg was not in gas pedal as my right leg was on the break pedal to make those turns and stop the car in the parking space. It all happened in the matter of few seconds and there was no time to react. The car came to halt only after hitting the building. Both air bags deployed as soon as the car hit the building and there was heave smoke inside the car. It was really scary because by looking at the damage the speed at the time of accident looks to be around 50 mph. It was a relatively higher curb in front and the building was just 6 - 8 feet away from the curb, I was also driving into the parking space at less than 10 mph. I am really shocked to see this kind of unintended/sudden acceleration happen with Honda Accord cars which could prove to be fatal for the driver, passenger and pedestrian alike.

The SRS light came on. Honda tells us that the component that regulates the airbags (a MINIcomputer in the dash?) has failed and must be replaced. Honda advises that, until replaced, the airbags will not work. Based on the internet research I have done, this appears to be a fairly common problem. Honda wants to charge $1000 to replace the unit, although it appears that the component is available online for about $325, and requires about an hour of labor to install. This seems to us to be a pretty fundamental safety issue, and this component should be engineered to last well beyond the anticipated lifetime of the vehicle.

On November 26, 2012 my SRS light came on and has stayed on since. This vehicle though it is a 2000 Honda Accord has only 66,200 original miles will cost about $800-$900 to repair. This is an issue which involves the safety of the driver and any passengers. I am told it could be a possible danger if the airbag does not deploy in any accident. I am not sure of the significance; I get different stories from folks. It is my understanding from some research that this light could possibly come on and stay on after recent transmissions problems. May 9, 2012 just five months after having my transmission fluid replaced I needed to have a rebuilt transmission at a cost of $3757. For several weeks I had discussions with Honda customer service department to no avail. I personally will never buy another Honda product in my lifetime and intend to discuss this situation with any person considering buying this product. I have been a loyal and faithful car owner with my Honda dealer since I purchased the vehicle. I received all scheduled services even though I did not have the recommended mileage. This is my reward, a rotten car from a rotten company.

Red "SRS" light came on in July 2012 and has never gone off since. I have the notice from Honda dated spring 2006 about this problem and how they are covering this problem for 10 years or 150,000 miles. I called Honda in ca at 800-999-1009 on 8/23/12 and was told that they will not cover the repair because the car is over 10 years from its June 2000 built date. The car had 130100 miles on the day I called. Funny thing is that they will cover any seat belt problem for the life of the car regardless of the number of owners but they won't cover the SRS airbag system, I called my local Honda dealer where I bought the car from and the service manager told me to bring it in now, which I did. They scanned the SRS system for a code. Came up the occupant position detection system ( opds). I asked if the air bags would still deploy in a crash with the SRS light on and he said no. I want to know that the air bags will work and I feel Honda should repair this defect for free since it is a life saving safety system. I called Honda again after I got home from the dealership to try to speak to someone higher up in management chain and as usual I got nowhere. This is an expensive repair and it's dealer only parts. There seems to be many people with the same problem when I searched "2000 Accord SRS on" and most of the people with this light on said that they are or did not get it fixed due to the high quoted cost of the repair. These cars are on the road with non-working SRS/ airbags systems because Honda used substandard parts that did not last as long as they should have and than refuses to properly fix this problem, that's just not right! I wish the NHTSA would order Honda to recall and repair these cars regardless of mileage or time at no charge. Alot of these older Honda Accord will end up being purchased used by the younger drivers who can't afford a brand new car.

I purchased a 2000 Honda Accord for my daughter and the SRS light came on. I took it to the dealer who scanned it and said it needed a new opds unit and sensor costing over $800.50. As I research it, I am astonished to see how many Honda's are affected by this problem and that a widespread recall is not in effect. Please investigate this serious safety issue that could cause airbags not to deploy. This is unacceptable in this day and age.

I spoke with a customer service representative by the name of [xxx] from american Honda motor co., Inc. On June 12, 2005 about an SRS related problem relating to their technical service bulletin 06-009 dated February 5, 2008. I was told that the warranty has already expired because the vehicle is more than 10 years old even if the mileage is less than 124,000 miles. I am the second owner of the vehicle when it was purchased from a private party back in 2004. Since these models came without an air conditioning unit, I had one installed the same year (2004) at the closest dealership near our place of residence. Because of this service, they should have updated the ownership record for this vehicle to reflect my name as the new owner. When this bulletin came out, Honda failed to furnish me a copy of the tsb since I only found out from them on June 25, 2012 that the said vehicle was still registered with the first owner. When the problem about the SRS unit occurred which was directly related to the bulletin they released on February 5, 2008 they would not honor the bulletin anymore and even told me that my vehicle was not covered, even if the bulletin specifically states that the vehicles affected included "2000-2001 Honda Accord 2-dr and 4-dr: All with opds". I went to the dealership last Friday, 6/22/2012 without knowing that this tsb ever existed and they were charging me a substantial fee to get it fixed even though it is a factory defect and should be fixed by them without cost to me. My complaint is that they failed to furnish me a copy of the service bulletin and now that this problem has occurred to my vehicle they will not honor that service bulletin. I would have brought my car in to get fixed even without this problem had I received this bulletin on time. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
