AIR BAGS
THE DASHBOARD LIGHT LABELED "SRS" ILLUMINATED AROUND 34,500 MILES. ACCORDING TO THE PROVIDED OWNERS MANUAL THE ENTIRE SYSTEM IS NON-FUNCTIONAL AS INDICATED BY THE SRS LIGHT. I HAD THE SYSTEM EXAMINED BY THE DEALER AND THEY DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A FAILED PASSENGER POSITION SENSOR, LOCATED WITHIN THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE DEALER FIXED EVERYTHING BUT THE SENSOR, CLAIMING THAT IT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO REPAIR IT BECAUSE IT WASN'T COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY. SEEING THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IS OVERALL SAFETY OF THE CAR, WHICH COMPOSED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF MY REASONING TO BUY THE VEHICLE I ADVISED THEM TO REPLACE THE PART, AT APPROXIMATELY $500 ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT IT WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THIS POSITION SENSING COMPONENT AND SEVERELY COMPROMISES THE OVERALL SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE FOR ALL OCCUPANTS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE COMPANY AND DID NOT HEAR ANYTHING UNTIL I PERSONALLY FOLLOWED UP, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR, WHEN THE PART ARRIVED. CURRENTLY, MY SRS SYSTEM IS INOPERATIVE FROM NO FAULT OF MY OWN. I DON'T THINK THAT HONDA SHOULD MARKET, INSTALL AND SELL SUCH A SYSTEM IF THEY CAN NOT SEEM TO GET IT TO FUNCTION CORRECTLY FOR AT LEAST 35000 MILES IF THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO STAND BEHIND IT, ASIDE FROM THE FACT THE POSSIBILITY OF A SEVERE INJURY HAS NOW INCREASE BY AND EXPONENTIAL AMOUNT, WHAT CONSUMERS PAY TO PREVENT AND INSURANCE COMPANIES OFFER DISCOUNTS TO PROMOTE, DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE FACTORY INSTALLED DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS. SEEING THE FACT THAT THE SUPPLY IS INSUFFICENT TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR THE PART LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND NOT THE ONLY WHOSE SAFETY OF BOTH PASSENGERS AND DRIVER A LIKE IS BEING COMPROMISED WITHOUT THE PROPER FUNCTION OF THE PURCHASED SYSTEM.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
BROUGHT CAR TO MIKE PIAZZA LANGHORNE PA HONDA DEALER (1908 E. LINCOLN HWY - 215-702-1500 / ) - REFUSED TO FIX DEFECT UNLESS I PAID $68 IN THE EVENT THAT THE DEALERSHIP MAY BREAK AN AFTERMARKET IGNITION WIRE WHILE CONDUCTING THEIR MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I ELECTED NOT TO HAVE THE DEFECT FIXED AT THAT TIME BECAUSE THEY WANTED ME TO PAY ADDITIONAL MONEY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEFECT OCCURRED OUT OF MY CONTROL. MY QUESTION, AM I LIABLE FOR THIS OCCURRENCE UNDER A MFG RECALL? ISN'T A MANUFACTURER RESPONSIBLE TO FIX DEFECTIVE PRODUCT FREE OF CHARGE? IS THIS HOW THEY GO ABOUT MAKING MONEY ON RECALLS? A DEFECTIVE PART - IS A DEFECTIVE PART. IT SHOULD BE CORRECTED NO MATTER WHAT EXPENSE IS TO COME TO THE MANUFACTURER. WHAT ARE THE QUALITY CONTROLS METHODS GOING ON AT HONDA MFG PLANT TO ELIMINATE DEFECTIVE PRODUCT? THIS LANGHORNE DEALERSHIP IS LOOKING FOR $68 IF THEY BREAK A PART TO GET TO THE DEFECTIVE PART. I WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE FROM THE GOVERNMENT REGARDING CONSUMER RELATED PROBLEMS WITH MANUFACTURERS. WHAT ARE THE RIGHTS TO INNOCENT CONSUMERS FACED WITH RECALL PROBLEMS. I WOULD APPRECIATE HEARING FROM THE PARTIES INVOLVED AND HOW WE CAN RECTIFY THIS SITUATION. DT
