ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT:CONTROL MODULE
CONCERNING THE IGINITION SWITCH RECALL ON HONDA VEHICLES - WHY SHOULD CONSUMERS BE MADE TO PAY ALMOST ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS TO HAVE AN ALARM SYSTEM REWIRED FOR THE VEHICLE??? THE RECALL WAS NOT THE FAULT OF THE CONSUMER, AND HONDA DEALERSHIPS ARE CHARGING EXORBITANT PRICES TO HAVE THE ALARM SYSTEM REWIRED. EVEN IF THE ALARM IS NOT A HONDA PART, THE 1997 MODEL DID NOT COME WITH AN ALARM, SO OBVIOUSLY ONE HAD TO BE BOUGHT, AND IF THE HONDA HAS TO REMOVE THE WIRES BECAUSE OF THEIR RECALL, THEN THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON TO HAVE TO PAY SUCH HIGH FEES TO HAVE THOSE WIRES REPLACED.*AK

AIR BAGS
I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE SRS LIGHT CHECKED OUT. I WAS TOLD IT WAS A SYSTEM UNIT FAILURE. I WAS GIVEN A PRICE $852.63 TO GET THIS REPAIRED. BY GETTING THIS REPAIRED/REPLACED I WOULD HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY; BUT NO GUARANTEE THAT IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN WITHIN OR AFTER A YEAR. AFTER RESEARCHING YOUR WEBSITE (NHTSA), I SAW A HUGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME MATTER. I THEN DECIDED TO WAIT TO GET IT REPLACED; THIS IS TOO MUCH MONEY TO HAVE IT CONTINUALLY REPLACED. I WANTED TO KNOW IF HONDA WILL BE SENDING OUT A RECALL. OR IS THIS A LOST CAUSE.*AK
