NHTSA Complaint #11267807 — 2007 HONDA ACCORD

THE SRS UNIT AND SEAT BELT LOCKING UNIT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SRS UNIT AND SEAT BELT LOCKING UNIT THAT LOCKS THE SEAT BELT IN PLACE WHEN IT'S IN AN ACCIDENT ARE GIVEN CODES IN MY 2007 HONDA ACCORD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THERE HAVE BEEN 8 RECALLS ON THE 2007 HONDA ACCORDS REGARDING THE AIR BAGS. THERE WERE RECALLS ON THE 2008 - 2009 HONDA ACCORDS SRS UNIT WHERE HONDA DID REPLACE THE SRS UNITS FOR FREE. THIS 2007 HONDA ACCORD WAS PURCHASE IN JULY OF 2007 AND BY JULY OF ANY YEAR THE NEXT YEARS MODELS ARE ALREADY OUT ON THE CAR LOTS AS WELL. SINCE 2008 HONDA ACCORDS WERE ALREADY ON THE LOTS THERE IS A CHANCE THAT THE SAME SRS UNIT THAT WAS RECALLED IN THE 2008 - 2009 HONDA ACCORDS COULD BE IN MY 2007 ACCORD. THE HONDA SERVICE GUY WORKING MY TICKET ASKED WHEN WAS THE CAR IN A FRONT END COLLISION. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A FRONT END CAR COLLISION. HE SAID THAT THIS IS USUALLY WHEN THESE CODES HAPPEN. THE CODES MEAN THAT THE AIRBAGS HAVE BEEN DEPLOYED WHICH THEY HAVE NOT. MY MOTHER AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY OWNERS AND I HAVE BEEN THE ONLY DRIVER. HONDA OF AMERICAN SAID "AT SOME POINT AND TIME THE OWNER HAS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIRS". I HAVE FOR ALL REPAIRS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE CAR, BUT WITH ALL THE RECALLS AND THEM STATING "THEY WOULDN'T HAVE REPLACED AIRBAGS IN A CAR WHEN THE AIRBAGS HAD NO CHANCE OF DEPLOYING". THAT IS EXACTLY THE CASE IN THIS INSTANCE. THE AIRBAG CODES WERE DISPLAYED AND DIAGNOSED BEFORE THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACE WITH THIS LAST RECALL. AS LONG AS THE CHECK AIRBAG LIGHT IS DISPLAYED THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THE HONDA SERVICE TECH SAID THIS. HONDA STATES "IF THEY GET ENOUGH COMPLAINTS AND COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE THEN THEY WILL REIMBURSE ME". HOW MANY COMPLAINTS DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE BEFORE THERE THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION TO SEE IF THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE.
