NHTSA Complaint #10227791 — 2004 HONDA ACCORD

ON MAY 14, 2008, I BROUGHT MY 2004 HONDA ACCORD EX TO MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER BECAUSE THE SRS (AIRBAG) INDICATOR CAME ON AND REMAINED ON DURING OPERATION. THE DEALER CHARGED ME $263 FOR REPLACING THE WIRING HARNESS UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT. I BELIEVE THAT THE REPAIR SHOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETED AT NO CHARGE BECAUSE THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING NHTSA RECALL (07V001000) THAT SPECIFICALLY REFERS TO THE SRS INDICATOR AND PROBLEMS WITH THE WIRING HARNESS FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORD MODELS. MY SERVICE REP AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT THE VIN ON MY CAR DID NOT FALL IN THE VIN RANGE FOR THE RECALL, BUT THE DOCUMENTATION FOR NHTSA RECALL 07V001000 DOES NOT SPECIFY A RANGE OF VINS FOR 2004 MODELS, ONLY FOR 2005 MODELS. I AM ASKING THAT THE NHTSA CLARIFY AND/OR EXPAND THE VIN RANGE FOR 2004 HONDA ACCORDS TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE AND THAT THE DEALER REIMBURSE ME FOR THE CHARGES I HAVE ALREADY PAID. *TR
