NHTSA Complaint #10078543 — 2002 HONDA ACCORD

THE SRS WARNING LITE IS CONTINUALLY LIT AT 49,000 MILES. AFTER THE OBDII SCANNER WAS CONNECTED THE SYSTEM REPORTED CODE 7-1. CODE 7.1 REFERS TO SRS CONTROLLER UNIT FAILURE. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND CLEANED. THE RECOMENED REPAIR IS TO REPLACE THE SRS CONTROLLER UNIT AT A COST OF OVER 500 DOLLARS. THE SRS UNIT IS COMPUTER CONTROLLED AS EVEN THOUGH THE OTHER ENGINE COMPUTERS ARE WARANTYED FOR 8/80,000 THE SRS UNIT IS NOT. I HAVE NOW BEEN TOLD THAT THE CAR I PURCHASED FOR QUALITY AND RELIABILITY NO LONGER HAS FUNCTIONING AIRBAGS OR AUTOMATIC SEAT BELT TENSIONERS. HONDA HAS OPENED A CASE AND I MUST GO THROUGH MY LOCAL DEALER TO REQUEST A WARANTY EXTENTION ON THE PART. RD MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE CAR.*AK
