Hello, I have a 2001 Honda that had a slight hit on the front. I replaced the bumper, hood and the radiator.
Issue 1: When pulling off from being stationary at the stoplight, I notice that the car is sluggish and after depressing the accelerator it picks up after a while... Could it be the transmission?

Issue 2: The airbags did not deploy but now the SRS sensor light is on all the time.

Issue #1:

Is the check engine light on? When's the last time you did a tune-up? It may be time to get the vehicle in for a tune-up, if not, I would first try scanning it for any pending codes.

Issue #2:

While the SRS light is illuminated the air bag system will not function, this is a safety feature that disables the SRS when there is a fault in one of the circuits. You must retrieve the code and repair the problem.
