Mechanic states that driver buckle is causing error message concerning air bag deployment on driver side, says belt buckle should be replaced so connectivity will be re-established, to enable air bag deployment. I would think this would be a safety recall, if this is the case.

Air bag light continues to stay on even after having the recall of the wiring harness replaced. Went to the dealership and had the air bag inflater recall fixed on April 1,2021 the light came on and continued to stay on. On 5/24/2024 I serviced my vehicle at Honda of Cleveland and they stated I had an air bag code stating that my driver side airbag sensor is bad but because they fixed the recall in 2007 they said the air bag itself is faulty but not covered under recall. Just needing this documented in case an incident occurs and the air bag is faulty as indicated by the dealership.

UNKNOWN - I have a 2004 Honda Accord which indicates an airbag issue. The seat belt buckles but the light stays on. Many 2004 Accords were in a recall over SRS but my VIN did not show as part of the recall. The dealer says the seat sensor is bad but they are not making the part any longer. What should I do. I guess the maker should replace with a new system.

My 2 door (coupe) has yet to be recalled for the exploding airbag. The sedan was recalled a long time ago. Undoubtedly the airbags are the same in both cars. Why no recall for the coupe? My guess is that the NHSTA applies separate statistical tests to the coupe and sedan as a matter of course--even if it makes no sense when both use the same part. Because so few coupes were made, the statistical threshold for exploding airbags was never reached to trigger a recall. Am I driving a timebomb? Will my death be the one to trigger a recall? Thank you for your response.

On Wednesday, JULY 27, 2022, I was riding on the highway and the left side curtain airbag exploded. There was no other vehicles involved, no accident. My left curtain airbag is hanging out my window and I need to get it repaired ASAP and it's affecting my seatbelt in the driver's seat. I need to know if my make and model has a recall for 2004 Honda Accord. For now, I have the curtain pinned to the roof of the car. The airbag just exploded and now there is a red sign on my dashboard with the seatbelt emblem and showing the airbag on the steering wheel.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD HAS STAYED ON ALL OF THE TIME SINCE 2008. NOT SURE OF EXACT DATE. AIRBAG LIGHT GOES OFF ON OCCASION BUT MOST OF THE TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON. I'VE NEVER GOT A RECALL NOTICE ON THIS ISSUE. I'VE CHECKED MY VIN WHEN THERE'S A RECALL ON AIRBAGS FOR MY YEAR 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX AND IT NEVER SHOWS THAT MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX HAS A RECALL ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS. MY AIRBAG COMES ON WHEN I START UP THE VEHICLE, SITTING STILL OR DRIVING ON THE ROADWAY. I'VE ALSO NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES WHEN I'M DRIVING THE SHOULDER SEAT BELT ON THE DRIVER SIDE WILL LOCK UP ON ME CONSTANTLY. I'M AFRAID THE SHOULDER BELTS GOING TO LOCK UP ON ME WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I'M BEING HELD TIGHT AGAINST THE SEAT BELT.

SRS LIGHT COMES ON AND SEAT BELT BUCKLE NEEDS TO BE REMOVED AND REPLACED AND STEERING COLUMN NEEDS TO COME OFF TO FIGURE OUT WHY LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHER 2004 HONDA ACCORDS AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. I'M TOLD MY AIR BAGS WON'T DEPLOY UNTIL IT IS FIXED.

THE SRS LIGHT OF MY CAR COME ON AND GOES OFF ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES WHEN I AM DRIVING, SUDDENLY WILL TURN ON FOR A WHILE. I USUALLY PULL OVER AND TURN OFF THE ENGINEER AND TURN IT ON BACK AND WAIT A FEW. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY, AND I HAVE READ THE MANUAL, THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE FRONT AIR BAGS, AND ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL BOOK CAN BE 'AN ALERT TO A POTENTIAL AIRBAGS, SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS, FRONT SEAT BELT TENSIONERS OR THE DRIVER'S SEAT POSITION SENSOR AND THE FRONT PASSENGER'S WEIGHT SENSORS' WE HAVE CHECK IT ALL THE TIME AND IT JUST GOES ON ALL THE TIME AS IT COMES OFF ALL THE TIME. I HAVE GOTTEN TO A POINT THAT CONCERNS ME A LOT.

AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT COMES ON RANDOMLY, WHETHER CAR IS HOT OR COLD. READING MANY OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS, IT SEEMS STATISTICALLY IMPROBABLE THAT SO MANY AIRBAG PROBLEMS WOULD OCCUR WITHOUT EXISTENCE OF SYSTEMIC PROBLEM SIMILAR TO MY 2005 ACCORD, WHICH WAS RECALLED. PLEASE ENFORCE SIMILAR SAFETY CONCERN IN THESE SERIES THAT USE SAME AIRBAG PARTS. UNTIL THEN, HONDA WILL NOT INVESTIGATE WITHOUT COSTLY DIAGNOSIS FEE AND AMBIGUOUS EXPENSIVE REPAIR RECOMMENDATIONS. HOPE IT DOESN'T RANDOMLY PUNCH ME IN THE FACE WHILE I'M DOING 70 ON I75!
