First, i had both: a frontal impact with a deer and a rear collision with another car and none of my air bags deployed.

3 times we had the srs light come on and stay on in our 2003 pilot. The second time they replaced the sensor again (warranty), but informed us that there was some sort of rf inside the vehicle interferring with the srs side airbag in the driver seat. The technician noted that it could be the use of cell phone or television. We had routinely used a portable dvd player in the pilot with ac power inverter plugged into…
