Consumer Description

MY SRS INDICATOR LIGHT COMES ON WITH ERROR CODE 15-3, WHICH EFFECTIVELY TURNS OFF MY AIR-BAGS ON MY 2003 CIVIC EX. I'VE BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR WHAT IS NOW THE THIRD TIME. THE FIRST TIME THEY RESET THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OPDS UNIT. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE OPDS UNIT AND NOW FOR THE THIRD TIME THEY ARE GOING TO REPLACE IT AGAIN. IN THE MEANTIME I HAVE TO DRIVE A $20,000 VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT DON'T WORK. MECHANIC BLAMED ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE, BUT I DON'T HAVE A CELL PHONE OR LAPTOP OR ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT-SIDE PASSENGER SEAT THAT HAS CAUSED THE TRIP. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE CAR DOES NOT MEET ITS DESIGN SPECS. AND IS A LEMON. AND WHOEVER HEARD OF NOT BEING ABLE TO TAKE A CELL PHONE IN A CAR ? *PH
