Honda CR-V Airbag Problem

Hi has anyone else had problems with their side airbags ? I am curious since this is the first problem I have encountered with my CRV. When I start the engine the indicator used to be Green with the Side Airbag "ON" message, Now I start the engine and the Amber light with "OFF" appears then the amber light turns off while driving and then lighting up intermittantly in no particular order . Anyone having similar issues. Also any 2008 owners please update me with any other issues you might be encountering minus the vibration issue. Thankyou !

If yes, have you read the OWNER's MANUAL?

The manufacturer sets the threshold someplace in between soft and severe meaning that the air bag will only deploy if the bump is above that level.
Note also that there is a difference in the severity of, say, a head on collision with a telephone poll at 50 miles per hour and sideswiping that poll. The air bag will likely deploy in the head on collision but probably won't in a sideswipe situation.

A good test? Did you hit your head on the windshield or steering wheel? Did the steering column get forced back into your chest from the impact? If not, then you probably didn't need airbag deployment..
