Problems with 1997 Honda Accord AIR BAGS

I was driving home from work and my srs light came on and has not went off. i have not hit anything and i was just driving on the interstate when it just came on.

The srs light came on suddenly while driving. took to dealer and they are charging a lot to repair it. i have not done the repair . how come air bag related srs light can come while just driving and why do i need to pay for it ? it should be covered by manufacturer

The srs light illuminated indicating an airbag problem with my honda accord at approx. 130,000 miles. the dealer charged me $90 for a diagnostic test with a 8-5 internal failure code. dealer wants to replace srs unit at a cost to me of $1100. i believe this is a safety issue that should be covered by the honda corporation as a recall as they have courageously done for the honda civic. *tr

The srs light randomly came on. took to mechanic and he said there is a problem with the srs module computer which means the airbags will not deploy. *tr

Airbag light stays on. *tr

I have several complaints: 1) the srs light came on. the dealer claimed that i needed a new computer at a cost of $900. i researched possible problems on this and other websites and had listed the technical service bulletins that were relevant. the dealer was not so thorough. my research showed that honda had been having problem with these computers already for several years and done nothing about it. the problem was with a sensor on the passenger side air bag which was malfunctioning in such a way as to leave in doubt whether or not the air bag would deploy. it is ridiculous that consumers have to pay nearly 1,000.00 to fix systemic problems in a safety system that have repeatedly not been addressed. 2) my abs light started coming on. when starting the engine the pump motor for the abs system would activate and attempt to pump fluid in the system. it could be heard from inside the car as a grinding noise. it would cycle on and off for about 6 or so times then the relay would trip, turn off ...

Tl* the contact owns a 1997 honda accord. the contact stated that while parked, the air bag warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the mechanic reset the air bag light and stated that if the failure persisted, the srs module would have to be replaced. approximately one week later the air bag warning light re-illuminated. the vehicle was not further repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 70,000.

The srs (airbags) light has been on for over 2 years. it indicates the airbags are malfunction. initially, i attempted to re-set the light twice, but it came back shortly after resetting. after searching through internet and nhtsa website here, i realize that this is a widespread problem with 1997 honda accord model. since this is a serious safety issue and is not drivers fault, honda should hold the responsibility and issue a recall to repair it. *tr

I recently purchased a used honda accord and noticed the srs light was on. subsequent research revealed that the control module is defective and honda does not cover its replacement. this is a safety issue, as the airbags will not deploy with the srs light on. honda should be responsible for this. please issue a recall. this problem has been occurring for several years--obviously, they are not interested in meeting the safety standards that the nhtsa or dot sets and do not care about the safety of their passengers. please do something about this before people die unnecessarily. *jb

Air bag malfunction light is on. this is a safety related defect. this puts the driver and passengers at risk of death and or serious injury. this falls under nhtsa list of safety related defects. this item needs to be corrected asap. the dealer refuses to repair at no cost to me. also contacted american honda motor co. they stated that they will not cover any amount to fix the air bags. even after i informed them that this was a serious safety issues plus in case of an accident i am at high risk of death or being critically injured. they have left me with out any other option but to file this complaint. i hope that they will follow nhtsa procedures by doing what the law requires and stop ignoring there responsibility to correct critical safety related defects. *nm

Airbag warning light is on. due to a malfunction. company refuses to repair. honda co. they know that by law they need to repair this problem, because it is a safety issue, they want clients to repair their cars at owners expense breaking the law. the nhtsa is not enforcing the law when they know honda co has to cover this type of repair. *jb

The srs light in the consumer's 1997 honda accord illuminated. the mechanic determined that the air bag failed and needed to be replaced. *ts *nm

Srs computer failed. air bag system will not operate. dealer advised that the defect is in the computer module. *ak

Srs light on 1997 honda accord coming on. diagnosed for $85. battery replaced. a week later it came back on and stayed on. after another $85, told that srs system is bad, and it will be $830 to replace. i see on the internet that this is a common problem, and learn that the replacement part is upgraded. i bought the honda because of its high reliability and would appreciate being refunded by honda. *jb

Srs light has been reset several times on my 1997 honda accord lx.. there seems not to be a problem with the airbags. this is extremely frustrating! *tr
