The srs light came on while driving the vehicle back to the house. Took the car to the mechanic and he analyzed the problem that the computer was not talking with the airbag system. No blown fuses no other issues noted with sensors other than failed airbag control computer unit. *tr

Airbag warning light on. Dealer determined left front impact sensor was issue. $640 repair for sensor that should not ever fail for safety reasons. Appears issue is not an isolated instance and should be covered by dealer or recall issued to enforce the issue. What recourse do i have available to recover cost?

My car is part of an airbag recall by honda. I have been trying to get my airbag replaced since november of last year. The miami honda dealerships i have approached are south motors and brahman honda. They have been totally uncooperative and have setup systems to give customers the run around. I understand that place with hot, humid climate like florida, are at higher risk for airbag malfunction. It is outrageous…

I would like to encourage the transportation secretary to expand the air bag recall nationally, as it is a matter of highest concern to americans without boundaries. All americans affected deserve to have their vehicle air bags replaced, no matter where they live.

Vsa engaged while driving xway, pulled vehicle to right, into other lane. This was repaired per previous recall, but continued to engage periodically within 3 days. Additionally, i am on list for airbag recall, but not yet recalled in ky. We are in ohio valley, with higher humidity than florida. I have driven to florida multiple times. We should be added to recall list. *tr

The front right airbag sensor required replacement. Last month, my mechanic reset it. He said he'd look further if it the airbag warning light went on again. It did. But i took it to the honda service center. I felt this was too important an issue. I was told that it was a defective front right sensor and it needed replacement. Cost to me was $300. I feel that this is a safety feature that should be reliable and not…

Suddenly, our srs dashboard light came on and will not go off. After looking at the owner's manual, we promptly set-up a service appt at honda to diagnose/fix the problem as it relates to an important vehicle safety feature. In the meantime, a family member who works in the auto repair industry used his computer to pull the codes and diagnose the problem so we would know what honda service should be telling us at…

The airbag warning light is lit. First intermittently, now constantly. Was diagnosed ($120 at burns honda for taking a reading off on-board computer) to be a faulty right-front impact sensor. The dealership is out of the part, so i need to wait for it to be shipped. The car was never in an accident, the air bags never deployed. The sensor just stopped working (rusted out?). The same thing happened a couple of months…

Airbag warning light went on and stayed on. I am original owner and the car has never been in a crash,nor have airbags ever deployed. Brought into the dealer and, after $115 diagnostic test, was told right front sensor behind bumper "went bad". Charge to replace 1 sensor is over $400, although dealer will waive diagnostic test fee. After seeing many people with similar problem, seems honda should issue recall. *tr

With the srs indicator constantly on, the dealer has advised me that both front bumper crash sensors must be replaced. He mentioned that due to their position they have a tendency of rusting out. Sounds like a design deficiency. *tr

Recently my airbag light on the dash was not going off, took it in for a "$98.90 diagnosis" for them to determine there is no signal from either impact sensor. This is a huge safety issue in my eyes and from what i have read many of these vehicles have had the same problem. I am being told it will cost me $477.00 to fix this issue, $127 for parts and $350 for labor, i can't afford this right now. This is putting me…

Vehicle was taken to dealership for recall on other parts and we told them the airbag safety restraint light has been on for several months. We were told the diagnosis would cost 38 dollars plus tax. They diagnosed faulty left and right front airbag sensors. They told us in an accident the airbags would not deploy. This item would not be covered under warranty and would have to be done at our expense. After much…

I noticed that the airbag sensor light is on. Took it to the dealer and he said it needs to be replaced. $350.00. There are too many documented incidents where the 2005 honda pilot is having this problem. Especially when there was no impact. We as consumers need to make this clear to honda that this is a safety issue that needs to addressed. *js

After several calls and days of trying to set an appointment, i received a phone call saying that i will be contacted for an appointment soon. This was over 2 weeks ago. I live in miami, where the chances of the airbag malfunctioning is greater than anywhere else in the states. I drive in fear each day that my airbag will go…
