Consumer Description

SRS LIGHT CAME ON TODAY FOR NO REASON. CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. IN DOING RESEARCH NOTICED THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM. IT APPEARS THAT HONDA IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM AND STATING THAT AIR BAGS ARE NOT A SAFETY ISSUE (WHY ARE THEY MANDATED BY LAW THEN?). RESPONSES FROM OTHER OWNERS REVEAL THAT THIS COSTLY REPAIR MAY NOT FIX THE PROBLEM (ESTIMATES FROM $300-$1,000 OR MORE). I CAN PAY TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED, HOWEVER I DON'T WANT TO CONTINUALLY HAVE TO REPAIR THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW MANY OF THESE COMPLAINTS MUST BE FILED BEFORE NHTSA ACTS? DOES IT REQUIRE ACTUAL DEATH OF AN OWNER BECAUSE OF A FAILED AIRBAG TO CAUSE ACTION TO TAKE PLACE? I'VE READ COMPLAINTS HERE THAT DATE BACK TO 2002. *TR
