Passenger airbag intermittently works correctly. Sometimes the airbag comes on with an 85lb and 110lb children, but not always. According to the manual, the children are well above the 65lb minimum weight. At another time, sensor did not come on with a 160lb adult. Weight sensor does not appear to be working properly. Honda service performed diagnostic and code B00D5-14 appeared, so they replaced the faulty switch hazard SRS on/off switch. Problem is still occurring - airbag turns on intermittently when children (85lb and 110lb) sits in passenger seat.

This notification continues to pop up on my screen and when going to the dealer they are stating that my VIN number is not effected but I continue to get this notification. Safety is put to risk when the airbag is turned off while driving in the event of something terrible happening. We are not protected. The Dealer will not inspect this without having to pay out of pocket for a diagnostic.

Received the following message "Supplemental Restraint System Problem. See Your Dealer" on my car dashboard. Brought to dealer and was told the issue was with the front passenger airbag cut on/off indicator. Was told this needed to be fixed or the airbag would not work. It was not covered by Honda as it was over 3 years and 36000 miles. Spoke to Honda and was informed I am not the only one with this problem but they would not cover it. Had to go out of pocket almost $500 on a malfunction that should be covered by a recall.

I had an appointment today (4/18/2025) at Causeway Honda in Manahawkin, NJ to remedy the recall of the 2020 Honda Accord seat weight sensor circuit board. When I got there Amanda from the service department said they cannot fix the issue because Honda will not pay for it. She said that they are only fixing cars that has an SRS indicator illuminated on the display panel.

My car is well taken care of but about 2 months ago the SRS light started to come on out of no where. It randomly comes on and most the time turns off after turning my car off and back on. Sometimes it doesn’t come off and sometimes it’s off for weeks before coming back on. Again, my car is not altered in any way or has never been in any accident. Car has 50k miles and I bought it from the dealership. I do not trust the dealership I bought it from because when there was a another recall for something with the gas pump, my car literally shut down on me and they took three days to repair something that only takes five minutes because they stated they needed to diagnose it, but I knew exactly what it was and they still did not listen to me

My 2020 Accord has had a recall on it for quite some time regarding the passenger side airbags. I have reached out to my dealership multiple times about this recall and I am told they do not have parts to fix it. They are on back order. I even reached out to a different dealership and has the same issue is pointless to recall if we can’t fix the problem. How can I get someone to fix this or find the components necessary to at least

Supplemental RestraintSystem Problem warning keeps coming on. I have taken it in to the dealership and made them aware of this. However they keep telling me that when I take the vehicle in they don’t see anything wrong with it and that warning light isn’t on. I have been told to take it in when it stays on completely. It never stays on completely, it comes and it goes. Worried

I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AMERICA ABOUT THIS (CASE10206483). THE FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE OFTEN NOT ACTIVATED WHEN THE CAR IS IN MOTION WITH AN ADULT SIGNIFICANTLY WEIGHING MORE THAN 65 LBS. SITTING ON THAT SEAT, WHILE ALL CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE OWNER'S GUIDE ARE MET. AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM, MULTIPLE TIMES WHEN MY 82 LB. WIFE HAS SAT ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF INDICATOR WOULD AT FIRST GO OUT, AS IT SHOULD. BUT AFTER WE DRIVE FOR A LITTLE WHILE, IT GOES ON AND STAYS ON FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP, INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE OFF, THUS PUTTING HER AT RISK. MY HONDA DEALER HAS VERIFIED RELATED PROBLEMS BY TAKING MY WIFE FOR DRIVES IN MY CAR. HE GOT THE SAME PROBLEMS IN ANOTHER 2020 ACCORD LX CVT. HE HAS ALSO HAD HIS PERSONNEL SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND GOT THE SAME PROBLEMS. HE HAS GIVEN UP. THE DEALER TESTED ALL RELEVANT PARTS. THEY WORKED PERFECTLY. BUT THEN HE TESTED THE WEIGHT-SENSOR WITH MY WIFE ON THE SEAT. THE READING WAS 50 LBS. FOR AN 82 LB. WOMAN. NOTE THAT I WEIGH 132 LBS. AND HAVE NO SUCH PROBLEMS. I WONDER HOW MANY ADULTS ARE DRIVING AROUND WHILE SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT NOT REALIZING THAT THEY ARE AT RISK BECAUSE THE AIRBAGS ARE OFF. THIS MIGHT ALSO APPLY TO OTHER MAKES AND MODELS. I SUGGESTED THAT SERIOUS CONSIDERATION BE GIVEN TO LOWERING THE WEIGHT-SENSOR READING THAT COMMANDS THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS TO BE TURNED ON, SO THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE ACTIVE FOR PASSENGERS WEIGHING SIGNIFICANTLY MORE THAN 65 LBS., LIKE MY WIFE.
