Srs light recently and currently remains on in my 2004 honda crv. i took my vehicle to avalon honda nj dealer 2 times after speaking to them 3 times, they procastinated to obtain the part. i was informed they will get it soon and will cost me $693.00. after i performed a consumer research of the vehicle, this is a high safety alert issue that should be a priority for honda to announce to the public for road safety and consumer safety. therefore, the consumer should not have to pay monies out of the pocket as this major safety item that should be guaranteed for the life of the car, not the consumers expense. this includes there life. *tr

I was traveling at approx 55 to 60 mph on the fwy. i started to slow down when i saw 2 cars that were at a dead stop in my lane way ahead of me, they just sat there so i hit my brakes harder & my brakes locked up. my car then went out of control and i tried my best to control it. i did manage to keep my car from rolling. my car was going back and forth on 2 wheels on the drivers side and the passengers side. i was also spinning and fishtailing and the back end of my cr-v (passenger side) hit the back end of the driver side of a sedan in the #3 or #4 lane. that impact sent my cr-v straight into the cement center divider of the freeway. i hit the center divider head on and went up and it felt like i was going to go over it onto the other side of the freeway but my cr-v came back down right in front of the center divider with the smashed up bumper facing the center divider. my cr-v hit the center divider hard enough for my body to bend the steering wheel back. not one of my 4 air bags went off. i had this cr-v in the honda dealer 14 days earlier to repair the airbag recall (i have all of the paperwork detailing this) i have pictures of the injuries from hitting and bending the steering wheel. i also chipped 3 teeth. i have pictures of the airbag sensor and the bent metal around it. the chp officers, tow truck driver, the person that i hit and the body shop personnel all have the same question that do; the airbag should have gone off, why didn't it and why was i injured? i could have been killed. honda has had several problems with this year and model of cr-v, yet they do nothing about them. the seat belts, & the airbags definitely malfunctioned. i have had 2 other similar problems with the brakes locking up on me and i think that there may be a problem with the brakes or wheels. this car needs to be looked at. i have never had any problems w/any of my 4 hondas past. *tr

For the last 3 years we have had three (3) main issues with this vehicle, 1) air bag srs light has been on, 2) the front passenger window will not roll down and 3) the air conditioning system has not operated. from the begining i have checked on recalls/ campaigns for these items and the only recall we received for this vehicle vin # was the air bag recall (btw we took it in for the recal and the srs light is still on). when you look on honda's website to check for recalls no other issues come up with my vin#, yet if you look the vehicle up by the model and year, a whole list of "campaigns" come up under this vehicle. my vehcile has had the same problems as the said make and models for years. i filed a complaint with honda america (case # 04205532) this morning and spoke with "serinity" of the product concern section of honda america and basiclly she is telling me because my particilar vehcile was manufactured in japan (vin # starting with a "j") that no recalls apply to me. but yet i am having the same issues with my vehicle of the same model and year. honda basically has stated that they cannot offer any help on this matter. please note, there are other safety "campaigns" that i never got notices, such as wiring harnessess. i took my vehicle into a non-dealer mechanic for air-conditioning services and they stated to me 2 + years ago that this vehicle is known to have a major defect in the ac clutch on the ac pump was designed too close to the engine and thus heats up and shatters into many pieces and flows though the whole ac system thus requiring that the whole ac system is required to be replaced (honda service bulletin # 12-072). honda has issued a campaign increasing the ac system warranty to 10 years/ 100,000 miles, but again this does not apply to my vehicle, yet i have the same exact issues on my vehicle. please help on this matter.

On august 13, 2009 my husband was involved in an automobile accident in which he was hit in the drivers side door. the car was totaled. the two front airbags deployed but the driver's side airbag did not. his injuries were not life threatening but he still suffers with pain from the bruises and abrasions plus a small hairline fracture of a lower vertebra. perhaps some of these injuries could have been avoided or lessened had the side airbag deployed. we called our honda dealer and he referred us to honda company. i talked with a christine at honda and explained what had happened and her reply was that honda does not investigate accidents. i told her that i would be reporting the problem to the nhtsa and would like it documented that i had also reported it to honda. she gave me a case # n012009-0800615081700615. i will be contacting honda again as i was not satisfied with the response i received from them. i am reporting the problem to you in hopes that if this is a common problem with the side airbags something may be done about it. thank you. *tr

The srs light came on in my 2004 honda crv. i visited the local honda dealer. dealer advised srs light came on due to faulty opds(occupant position detection system) sensor. this sensor will turn off/on passenger airbag. this item is not covered outside the 3yr/36000 mi warranty. however, many 2002-2004 honda crv's were given a warranty extension for this problem. the extension covered up to 150,000 miles or 10 years. honda checked my vin against their database and advised my vehicle was not affected. my vehicle has approx. 51,500 miles and will be 4 yrs old in october. the dealer advised if i desired the repair, it would be at my expense. i chose not to have the vehicle repaired at this time. i have searched the internet and have found other owners with the same complaints with this opds sensor. this opds system is not limited to the crv line; it is also found on many other honda vehicles. there are other years and makes which were given the warranty extension. i believe there is a problem with the opds system, and all equipped vehicles should be given the warranty extension. this system is installed as a safety feature and should not be subjected to the same warranty as the rest of the vehicle. *tr
