Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My srs (airbag) sensor light is on. recently virginia passed a law for state inspections that this unit must work before passing inspections. the price went up from $400 to $1200 to fix in less than a year. many honda owners are having the same problem. the airbag will not deploy if the light is on. honda tells me it could be as simple as fixing a seat belt (which is under warranty). this jogged my memory. it was after my driver side seat belt sensor started intermittently working that the srs light came on. in other words, while driving down the road, i take off my seat belt then re-attached it, the sensor did not warn me that it was off. or say those rare occasions when i would get into the car, drive off and remember that i was not secure, there would be no light telling me so. then sometimes it worked fine. when the seat belt issue first occurred so did the srs. honda will be replacing the sensor for $1200, in order for me to pass virginia inspection. how is it that this is a problem in so many wide spread years and make of hondas? it covers recent years as well. i googled and found an entire of family of honda owners with this srs problem. this is the second honda i have owned. i have never had a safety issue like this before. i am hoping this fixes the problem and i really have an airbag, g-d forbid i should need it! disappointed in honda. *jb
