SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM INDICATOR (SRS) SENSOR IS LIT ON DASHBOARD OF MY 2012 HONDA FIT AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW IN JUNE 2012. HAS BEEN ON CONSTANTLY WHILE DRIVING SINCE MAY 25, 2016. TODAY IS MAY 30, 2016. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED I AM NOT ALONE AS MANY OTHER HONDA OWNERS HAVE REPORTED EXPERIENCING THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. OWNERS MANUAL SAYS THAT THE SRS LIGHT MEANS THERE IS A PROBLEM RANGING FROM SEAT BELT BUCKLE TENSION TO THE SIDE AND CURTAIN AIRBAGS HARNESS RESTRAINTS. RESEARCH ALSO STATES THAT AIR BAGS WILL NOT ACTIVATE DURING ACCIDENTS WHILE THIS SRS IS LIT. SOMETHING HONDA LEFT OUT OF OWNERS MANUAL. ANOTHER PROBLEM I READ REPORTS ABOUT FROM OTHER HONDA OWNERS, AFTER HAVING THEIR SRS LIGHT CHECKED BY A HONDA DEALER, WAS THIS COULD MEAN A DEFECTIVE OCCUPANT POSITION SENSOR AND IS VERY COSTLY TO REPLACE. ALSO FOUND DURING RESEARCH THAT THERE IS A CAMPAIGN AGAINST HONDA FOR THE RECALL OF THE DEFECTIVE OCCUPANT POSITION SENSOR. DON"T KNOW IF THIS SRS LIGHT PROBLEM HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE CURRENT TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL, BUT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTED TO KNOW IF THERE WAS A LINK. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALER WHERE PURCHASED ASAP TO HAVE MY SRS LIGHT PROBLEM CHECKED. IN THE MEANTIME I CERTAINLY HOPE NO ONE RUNS INTO ME.

TAKATA RECALL ITHACA CARSHARE IS A SMALL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION SERVING 1,400 COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH 25 VEHICLES AVAILABLE FOR SELF-SERVE RESERVATIONS ON A 24/7 BASIS. SIX OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HONDA FITS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR MEMBERS AND LIABILITY PURPOSES, WE REMOVED THESE VEHICLES FROM SERVICE ON APRIL 4, 2016. WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH BOTH OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THUS FAR BOTH HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY COMPENSATION FOR THE LOSS OF REVENUE CAUSED BY THESE VEHICLES BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. EACH VEHICLE REQUIRES INSTALLATION OF SPECIALTY HARDWARE FOR OUR USE, SO SUBSTITUTE VEHICLES PROVIDED BY HONDA (WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN OFFERED) ARE NOT AN OPTION FOR US. AS EACH DAY GOES BY, WE LOSE $250-300 IN REVENUE, SO AS OF THIS WRITING WE HAVE LOST OVER $3,000. AS A SMALL NON-PROFIT, THIS RECALL HAS A HUGE EFFECT ON OUR BUDGET. WE EXPECT THAT OUR LOSSES WILL TOTAL AT LEAST $10,000, IF NOT MORE. FAILURE OF HONDA TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION FOR THIS LOSS IS BOTH INCONVENIENT AND UNACCEPTABLE. WE CONTINUE TO SEEK COMPENSATION FOR THIS LOSS AND REQUEST ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY OFFER ON OUR BEHALF.

TAKATA RECALL: MY FAMILY'S 2012 HONDA FIT WAS DRIVEN BY OUR 16 YEAR OLD SON. HONDA IS REFUSING TO PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE THAT OUR SON CAN DRIVE WHILE THE HONDA FIT IS OUT OF COMMISSION WHILE HONDA PRODUCES NEW AIRBAGS. I AM ATTACHING THE EMAILS I HAVE SENT TO HONDA IN WHICH I HAVE PROPOSED VARIOUS WAYS IN WHICH HONDA CAN PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR MY SON. THE IMPACT OF HONDA'S POLICY IS EVEN HARDER ON FAMILIES WHOSE SOLE VEHICLE IS A RECALLED HONDA. FOR THOSE FAMILIES, HONDA'S POLIC LEAVES THOSE TEENAGERS WITHOUT ANY CAR TO DRIVE AT ALL AFTER THEIR FAMILY'S CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OVER TO HONDA FOR REPAIRS TO THE AIRBAGS.

I CALLED HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP SECURE A RENTAL CAR BUT A CASE WORKER WOULD CONTACT ME IN ABOUT A WEEK. THEY'VE HAD NEARLY A YEAR FROM THEIR ONLINE ADMISSION IN MAY 2015 TO MARCH 2016 TO TAKE CARE OF THIS HUGELY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE WORKING WITH THEIR DEALERS TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LOANER VEHICLES. WE HAVE ONE CAR AND WE'RE NOW AFRAID TO USE IT.

Consequence: A broken drive shaft may cause a sudden loss of drive power. The vehicle could also roll away if the parking brake has not been applied before the vehicle has been exited. Either condition can increase the risk of a crash or injury.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing either the left or right drive shaft, if necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk with an interim letter mailed February 2, 2021. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available.
