Consumer Description

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 1997 HONDA CIVIC FROM MY SISTER, WHO DID NOT REALIZE THAT THE SRS LIGHT BEING ON WAS A PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN ON FOR THE LAST 4 YEARS (SINCE ABOUT 60K MILES). I AM LOOKING INTO HAVING IT REPLACED, BUT ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH, HONDA DOES NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. EVERYTHING THAT I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM INDICATES THAT IT IS A $400+ REPAIR AND THE REPAIR DOES NOT LAST. THEY HAVE BLAMED IT ON A MULTITUDE OF THINGS INCLUDING USING A CELL PHONE, A LOW BATTERY, AND A DEFECTIVE PART. THIS MAKES HONDA VEHICLES UNRELIABLE AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, UNSAFE. I HAVE READ ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ON MANY DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS OF HONDA VEHICLES.
