My SRS light came on and continued to stay on. I did nothing out of the ordinary. I simply started my car, put the seat belt on and started driving when I noticed the SRS light come on. The Honda dealership inspected the issue and found it was a seat belt buckle switch malfunction. They told me that if the problem is not fixed it could be very dangerous. I was told that in the case of an accident, the seat belt may fail and the airbags will not deploy. I had the issue repaired for $295. After recently looking through old receipts, I found that there was a recall in 2007 for the opds and the SRS light staying on. In that case, the airbags were in danger of not deploying as well if someone was out of position in the seat. It seems to me that there is an issue with Civic's SRS system and the seat belt buckle switch is an ongoing and related issue as well. Seat belts are covered under a lifetime warranty but for some reason the buckle switch is not. In any case, I'm wondering why there hasn't been a recall on the seat belt buckle switch when it is a prevalent problem with this vehicle. Years after I had this issue, I am seeing on the internet that many people are still having the same problem. Something as important as seat belts and airbags failing in this vehicle during an accident should have been recalled immediately.

- Clayton, CA, USA

I bought this car from a used car dealer. The horn works intermittently about 10% of the time. I was nearly run off the road on several occasions since then because I could not honk at people drifting into my lane. I have spent over $300 investigating this issue and replacing parts that I was told were the culprit. I do not know where else to turn. This is a serious safety issue, and it should be a recall with all Honda/Acura since they all use the same assembly.

The contact took the vehicle to the dealer at least three times who replaced several faulty components but the air bag light continued to illuminate.

- Salinas, CA, USA

My SRS light continues to illuminate, even after resetting it. It seems as if latching and/or unlatching the seat belt triggers the light. However, I'm apprehensive to pay a labor rate of $107/hour for the dealer to follow their "flowchart" to possibly find the issue. I am worried with the SRS light illuminated that the airbags will not deploy in a front collision and believe Honda should recall all vehicles of my type to have airbags and seat belts sensors checked free of charge. I have seen a few bulletins/recalls for 2002 Civics, but not for the 2002 Civic si, which is the model I own.

- Kenosha, WI, USA

My SRS light, the sensor that checks my airbag system, has come on in my car and it won't go off. This is the second time that it has come on, the first time that it came on was around August 2005. The dealership fixed it at no cost. I don't understand why this light would keep coming on and they can't give me a specific reason why the light has come on again.

- Atlanta, GA, USA

SRS light came on without any reason... dealership assures that no recalls have been issued on my make/model of car... however acknowledged that is common scenario for my make/model year... while SRS light is lit up indicates problem with seatbelts and/or airbags, the issue with seatbelts is that they will not engage/lock when brakes are slammed on and airbags will not deploy while SRS light remains lit up... Honda charges $90 to hookup to diagnostic system to determine if seatbelts or airbags, seatbelts are covered under lifetime guarantee and airbags are not... if it is a known issue as apparently it is while viewing complaints on both NHTSA.gov and Honda forums the diagnostic fee should be waived as well as recall be issued to repair any and all issues with SRS, isn't important to ensure safety and save lives....
