I just noticed the srs indicator is on without obvious reason. It might be caused by heavy loptop bag in the passenger seat. My car is honda civic ex 2001. The dealer asks $115 to diagnosis only, needless to say fix. The nature of the defect is safety issue. Honda should either to make the design or have this part in the life time warranty. *tr

Was rear ended,radio & speakers quit working, replaced & alarm quit working, had to have it completely removed & had damaged fly wheel. Alarm malfunction was causing car to run in "safe mode" and car was…

I am the original buyer of honda civic 2001 4dr and srs light goes on frequently. As long as the car was under warranty dealer used to fix it without any charge. Last time in 2004 i got it fixed by the dealer. At that time car was out of warranty, but as the problem existed before the expiration of warranty they fixed it. Srs light problem reappeared in march 2007 , and when i took the car to the dealer, he said…

I own a 2001 honda civic. At 45,000 miles the safety restraint system light came on. Since it was a safety issue honda should be responsible for investigating and repairing the defect. However, honda disputed this. If the airbag didn't deploy or seat belts didn't work serious injury could be incurred.*ak

Srs light lights up at regular interval, dealer resets computer and it goes off and then comes back again after sometime (irregularly). A safety concern as air bags goes off during this time, if this happens moments before a crash that is extremely dangerous. *nm

The srs light on my 2001 honda civic has come on on at least three occasions. The first time it was under warranty so the dealership fixed it. The second time, it came on in june 2004, the car was out of warranty. The dealer diagnosed the problem as srs unit failure and i spent close to $400 to replace it from the dealer. The light came on another time in 2005 but it turned off after a couple of days. This time, in…

The srs indicator light came on and wouldn't go off> i took the car to the local honda dealer where it was reset for a $30 diagnostic fee. The service manager said the diagnostic code indicated a low voltage situation and indicated that the battery tested fine. He asked if i did anything out of the ordinary that would have caused the problem and i told him that i had changed nothing in the way i operated the car.…

The srs sensor light stays on in my 2001 civic -- the dealer states that it is not under warranty to fix -- it is a costly repair. I only have 33,000 miles on the car. In reading the other complaints -- i see that it is a growing problem for this model and year of honda -- a recall would benefit all since it is a major safety concern. *jb

The "srs" light on my 2001 honda civic lx came on a few months ago without any apparent reason and has not turned off. According to what i have read, this indicates that there is some type of a problem with the air bag / safety restraint system. As far as i know, honda covers only seat belts for the life of the car. Airbags are supposed to be so important (and are never used unless in a crash); i cannot understand…

My 2001 honda civic lx 4 door srs light came on this morning and will not turn off. This appears to be a problem with lots of honda civics. Honda needs to declare this issue a recall and fix the problem, without charging the customer diagnostic fees. *jb

Srs sensor failure in passenger seat. The vehicle is not even 5 yrs. Old yet. I do not know how long srs sensors are supposed to last, but according to the warranty company, which did not cover replacement of the ineffective device, this part does not typically go out on a honda. I feel, in the case that the lifetime of this piece of equipment was shorter than expected, that this could pose a potential threat in the…

The srs light continuously stays on even after resetting. After reading many experiences from other honda civic owners with similar vehicles and problems, will anything be done to correct this issue. My local dealer claims that this problem is caused by my cellular phone even though i do not always have my phone in my vehicle. I would like to make a formal complaint and try to get this problem corrected. *nm

Srs light stays on all of the time. When i took it to bradenton honda for other issues, they cehcked it, reset the computer and said if it came on again, to bring it back in. It has come on again and stays on. In reviewing your complaints, seems it is an increasing problem for this year and model of honda. *nm

About 1 month ago my srs light came on. I have been weary to take the vehicle in to the dealer because they seem to have no answer to the problem. Apparently the vehicle's airbags will not deploy when the srs light is on. *nm

Srs light went on for no reason. Airbags will not deploy if in accident honda wants to charge $700 to fix. They say they its a wear and tear issue but it should have lasted at least 100,000 miles not 68,000 miles. *jb
