Consumer Description

I HAVE A 1998 HONDA ACCORD EX COUPE V6. I RECENTLY HAD THE CABLE REEL ASSEMBLY FAIL ON THIS VEHICLE (PN: 77900-S84-A22). THIS IS THE PART THAT ATTACHES THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE REST OF THE CAR. THIS PART FAILED CAUSING ALL OF MY SWITCHES ON MY STEERING WHEEL TO FAIL AND THERE IS A HIGH LIKELYHOOD THAT THE AIRBAG WAS INOPERABLE ALSO. THE HONDA DEALER TOLD ME THAT THESE PARTS ALMOST ALLWAYS FAIL ON 1998 HONDA ACCORDS. THIS PART IS CRITICAL TO THE OPERATION OF THE AIRBAG, AND THIS CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE. HONDA DOES NOT LIST A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON THIS VEHICLE. SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE TO SEE IF A RECALL NEEDS TO BE MADE.*AK
