I noticed my airbag or seatbelt light came on so i took it to a honda facility to have it fixed. They did repair work but a week later the light came back on and will not go off. I've also had my driver side window electric replaced but am still having issues with the window rolling up when it rains. That is the only time i have issues with the driver side window. *tr

As he was backing out the rear window was not fully defrosted and he hit another parked car. He was doing less then 10 miles an hour and my air bags deployed.

The airbag light is on and will not turn off even after i brought it in for repair. It was off for about a week after the repair but went on again. Honda says there is no air bag recall with this car...i do not believe that this airbag is safe because of this malfunction. *tr

Srs light came on dashboard. Brought to dealership and after diagnostic test informed part of recall. No charge. It has been one week waiting for replacement part to arrive and no communication from them yet. Since getting the automobile back, the light has not appeared. More concerned with the inconsistent experience as the light should still be on and its not. *tr

Srs (airbag) light remains on. Seat belt tensioner requires replacement. The srs airbag light controls not only airbag functionality, but also seat belt tensioners; the things that hold you in during a crash. Honda will not replace the seat belt tensioner. *tr

Srs light came on. Vehicle taken to dealer as advised in manual. Appointment offered for 2/21/12. Diagnosis: driver's seatbelt buckle faulty. Part "on national backorder"--unknown when it will be available. Meanwhile, since this is the only car i have, i am forced to drive a vehicle with a useless/potentially useless seatbelt and no air bags! *tr

I was in an accident going 45mph. The entire front end was destroyed and none of the airbags deployed. Without my seatbelt i more than likely would've gone thru the windshield. There were no lights indicating any kind of problems prior to the accident. And in my opinion they just failed to deploy. As i stated earlier, the front of the car is all but gone. Based on the amount of airbags complaints there is a problem…

I have a 2004 honda civic ex sedan. The driver's side seatbelt sensor that connects with the larger srs safety system was triggered for no apparent reason. When this sensor indicates a failure, the srs light comes on and the airbags are taken offline and prevented from being deployed. Thus, it is a serious safety concern. I took it to the dealership honda of pasadena, where they reset the sensor, tested it, and…

Took vehicle to honda dealer 11/14/2014 for airbag recall. They only replaced the passenger side airbag. "inspected driver airbag. Found is autoliv. Airbag is okay". Why would the driver's airbag not need replacing?? This bothers me greatly. Do you have a simple answer? (note: date above on item 2 is incorrect - could not fix)
