Replying to: enchilada (Aug 24, 2005 1:35 pm) My advice is to keep using your cell phone. If the airbag light comes on again, go back to the dealer. If this keeps happening, then ask them for a new car. If they refuse, then use the Lemon Law and sue them to get a new car.   We have had our 05 Accord sine March. We have used the cell phone many times, but the air bag warning light has not come on. I doubt this problem affects a lot of cars, so there is no reason for a recall.

Replying to: bobst (Aug 24, 2005 4:50 pm) I just want a safe car. That's what I thought I was buying. Hopefully it is a confined problem not affecting every Accord. I have notified the NHTSA just the same. Replies to this message: lx_steal (Aug 24, 2005 5:37 pm) enchilada (Aug 24, 2005 6:02 pm) bobst (Aug 25, 2005 6:10 am)

Replying to: lx_steal (Aug 24, 2005 5:37 pm) Well, it's just a normal cell phone. It hasn't shut my VW's airbags off in the past couple years....

Replying to: enchilada (Aug 24, 2005 1:35 pm) Interestingly, using cell phones in the car, buses etc. is forbidden in many countries, especially in Europe. If I remember correct, the most important issue for such a ban is that cell phones interfere with the car's ABS system (besides interfering with driver's attention). I do not remember if it is also claimed to interfere with airbag system as well. It is based on some facts that strong electromagnetic fields emitted and received by cell phones interfere with other electronic equipment. The interference may cause a problem. Like jamming the navigation system of air planes. This is why they strictly ban usage of cell phones in airplanes.   I do not know if your problem is somehow related to your cell phone. One way to check it is turning off your cell phone while driving your car. Do that for a while and see if airbag light comes or not. If not, then start to drive your car with your cell phone turned on. If the light comes, it is the cell phone for sure.   Again, particularly in Europe all drivers are required to drive with their cell phones turned off! yes, it is like that. I don't know why nobody inlcuding car manufacturers and government do not care about this issue in US. Somebody is wrong, but who? BTW maybe a car's airbag light does not come on but who knows if the airbags will be deployed if the driver talks on the cell phone while getting involved in an accident.   Drive safely.

#17727 of 20241 You might not be as secure as you think by mrbill1957 Aug 25, 2005 (4:21 pm)
For those that give their valet key to the service dept or a valet driver, there is more then one lock you need to check.   I have the EX-L model, which has the rear seat pull down armrest with the flip-down access door to the trunk. You may want to check the lock on the door to make sure it is locked!!. My car came with it unlocked!!. Although the valet key will not work in all 4 locks for the trunk, if that access door is unlocked, you can simply reach thru it, pull the latch and fold down the rear seat back giving access to everything in the trunk.   I cant believe they didnt make the back seat release latch in the trunk unreachable from the back seat.   Mrbill
