“Light was turning on off when turn on street. Lighton seat belt was also doing the same thing. I didn't know what it was so I took it to the dealer.they said it was the airbag doing all the problem . So they explained that there was a recall on this problem so they change it on time before any other serious accident can happen.”
NHTSA complaint #11057985, filed 2018-01, 5 miles“Our 2008 Honda Accord srs indicator is on which alerts a potential problem with the airbag or seat belt tensioners per owner's manual. We took the car to Honda dealer. It took them hours and charged us $157 but couldn't find the problem. They ended up suggesting either we replace srs unit $603+tax, and if problem still present then replace the gauge control module $555+tax. Hereby we're reporting this issue and hope Honda will recall the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10759019, filed 2015-08, 58,000 miles“Suddenly after 68000 miles, my Honda Accord 2008 has a warning light saying srs faulty (error code 15-078). When I took it to dealer they charged me $134 to diagnose this problem and telling me that the fault is with seat belt sensor. So, they wanted $1300 to fix this problem. I believe this problem is related to their srs bag recall and is a safety issue with faulty seatbelt sensor. Honda is trying rip us off as I see at least 69 people reported on thenet of the similar problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10789645, filed 2015-11, 68,000 miles“Riding down the road and my 12 year old daughter got tangled in the seat belt. We pulled into a gas station and tried to get the seat belt to release- it would not release. It kept eating any slack we gave it and kept tightening on her. It got to the point where she, nor I (because of the position) could hold her body weight up any more- it was starting to cut into her side. I yelled can anyone help we need to cut a seat belt and thank goodness a young man came over and was able to cut the belt off. …”

Gillman Honda (sam houston pkwy, houston tx) wants to charge for detection and fixing of the issue. I have written about 2 weeks ago to Honda motors america to address this issue since this is a safety issue but they have not responded yet.

Driver side wire harness problem 2. …”
