The results of the impact were a dented fender, replacement of the driver side control arm, new ball joints, as well as a desperately needed…

This is regarding an open recall letter that we received and we took it to the dealer and they stated that it already had been completed. Which light is still on and the letter of the recall and the light still say that it is not done but all the dealers state that it is. We are not wanting to believe that it is true. So if there is another area that i need to be at please let me know we are just looking for this…

The srs airbag light is always on, the seat belt buckle is sensing excessive resistance in the squib for the pretensioner. We have replaced the seat belt buckle once already, and it failed again. So the srs airbag light is on which means my airbags will not go off if involved in an accident. Is this a safety issue? I see it as a safety issue and honda will not do anything to fix the problem. Can you please let me…

Drivers seatbelt will not fasten. It takes six to seven tries and will then only lock in place with the use of excessive force. Sometimes it takes longer to get it fastened. *tr

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…

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…

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...

The second some time in between. This last time at about 70,000 miles. The honda dealership said the computer tells them the light comes on because of the buckle on the passenger side sea belt is defective. They have…

The srs (secondary restraint system) light came on. It originally happened while the was under warranty with the previous owner. Under 36,000 miles. The honda dealer where the car was serviced reset the light, replaced the seatbelt buckle but were unable to determine the cause of the srs light coming back on. Multiple times. I believe this means the airbags are not working. Honda accepts no responsibility for this…

My srs airbag light is on and according to the honda dealership it is something with my seat belt. This seems to be a pretty common problem among the 2002 honda civics. Honda should recall the cars and repair it for free. The seatbelt repair is free but the test to determine the reason my light is on is $70. This is safety related and should be brought to everyone's attention and honda needs to fix the situation…
