ok... i just came back from the dealer from fixing my SRS light for the 5th time....and it s FUCKING ON AGAIN!..........that shit just wont go OFF!!! errrrr

so basically i m driving everyday without airbags now....... do they know wtf they r doing... i went to 2 different dealers and SRS still comes back up after 1 day. They said "OH maybe it s because of ur cellphone" well i dont think i am the only one who has cellphone in their cars.

and FUCKING Sierra Acura even said "OH we tried 2 fix ur SRS light for the nTH time, this is the last time we r going to try to fix it for u under warrenty." i almost smack that fucker's face... is it my fault that they cant fucking fix the SRS light?


ERRRRR what should i do? i need airbags.. i wanna live

hey i had teh same prob i had the srs light on for about 2 weeks before the car broke downa dn teh alternator went out and then the battery crapped out. but the time i was without a battery for about 2 more weeks after it crapped out the srs light hasnet come back on. if you can try leaving your car battery terminals both off for a day or so. it will reset everything and all your clock and stereo shit but try it, its worth a shot. cross my fingers mine hasnt come back on since the dealer fixed the car.

this had been happening to me from about 17 to 20k miles(40k now)..and the dealer ended up replacing the entire airbag ecu, wiring, other electronics..they claimed it was like an 800$ repair..but no worries its warrantied

Doesn't the "Lemon Law" state that the dealer must try to repair the same problem 3 times, and then it's considered a lemon. You should look into that, maybe a 6spd is in your future.

i dont think lemon law apply to CA.... especially LA area...cuz i never heard of anybody who lemon their cars..

Same problem happened to my car, problem was a faulty sensor under the passenger's seat

Ummm, pretty much every state has lemon laws. And lemon laws are by state... not city. Click the link below to read California's lemon law. If they do not fix it for you.. or even worse, tell you they're going to stop trying.... you probably have a case. Once you threaten them with the Lemon Law I guarantee they'll fix it b/c going the Lemon route will cost them a lot of money.....

I think that all auto dealers can refer you to the regional manager, who usually has the power to make things happen for dissatisfied customers. You should get it fixed by Acura... no ifs, ands or buts. This is a safety issue and I once forced a dealer to refund all my purchase price for a Passat (with SRS problems) that they could (would) not fix. The law is on your side.

yeah...i third..or fourth that notion...the dealer shouldnt be like that at all about it...really weird that the service reps would have attitude like that too..all they do is order the parts and try to translate the tech talk(usually unsuccessfully) so most may understand it..none of my reps have ever had attitude..

its like this..ill show up.."i think my tranny's done"..then "oh well better get another on order"

I have the same problem and i think the sensor is on back order.

the sensors are under the drivers and passnegers seats. If the airbags have never been dislodged (used from an accident) chances are the airbags will work in the event of an woutomobile accident...however the stupid light stays on because the chips which are under the seats have to be replaced. Once they are replaced the system will clear itself, and the light will no longer illuminate.

can't u lemon law that? since no airbags=you may die or something?

fuggedaboutid

mine too.. My AV6 had this problem and the replaced the side airbag sensor in the passenger seat.

I had the same problem...but the passenger side sensor was found to be OK. They said it was probably the cell phone. Ever since, I do not put my cell phone in the seat and the light has not come back on. It's been about 2-3 months since the re-set the light and no problems since then.

craigwilloughby

any way to troubleshoot this to find out what sensor it is when the light goes on? apprently there are several?

holy crap this thread is old

This SRS problem happened to me twice, it had to do with the sensors and I somehow had this blue lighting (the ones that go with the music beat) next to it, everytime it was there the SRS lighted on. After the 2nd time, I changed the spot where I put the blue light.
ANd never happened after that. If you have anyhting close to the bottom right part of the steering wheel , that's where one of the sensor is (told by acura) change the location of your electronics elsewhere.
