AIR BAGS
THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON WHEN MY WIFE WAS ON A TRIP FAR FROM HOME. WHEN SHE RETURNED, I TOOK THE CAR TO MILTON MARTIN HONDA. THEY PUT IT ON THE COMPUTER, BUT COULD FIND NO FAULT CODE. THEY RESET THE SRS LIGHT, BUT IT CAME ON AGAIN THE NEXT DAY. THEY HAD SAID THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THEY OFTEN HAD TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG COMPUTER. I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEB SITE AND FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR 1995 HONDA ACCORDS FOR AIR BAG PROBLEMS (NHTSA ITEM NUMBER SB041021). I ALSO FOUND A HONDA TSB ON THE PROBLEM (SERVICE BULLETIN NUMBER HON/A90). FINALLY I FOUND A LARGE NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS IN THE NHTSA DATABASE BY OTHER OWNERS OF 1995 HONDA ACCORDS. CONSEQUENTLY I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA AT 1-800-999-1099 AND SPOKE TO NICOLE ROYER AT EXT. 124157. SHE PROMISED TO CALL ME BACK WITHIN 3 DAYS WITH FEEDBACK ABOUT WHAT HONDA PROPOSED TO DO ABOUT MY PROBLEM. SHE HAS THUS FAR FAILED TO CALL BACK 6 DAYS LATER, AND ALL I CAN REACH IS HER VOICE MAIL WHEN I ATTEMPT TO CALL HER. IT IS CLEAR FROM THE RECALL, THE TSB, AND THE LARGE VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS THAT HONDA HAS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAGS IN THE 1995 ACCORD WHICH THEY SEEM UNWILLING TO DEAL WITH DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS IS A CRITICAL SAFETY-RELATED COMPONENT. I HOPE THAT NHTSA INSTITUTES AN INVESTIGATION AND COMPELS HONDA EITHER TO RECALL THE 1995 ACCORDS FOR THIS PROBLEM OR AT LEAST PAY FOR REPAIRS WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURS. I OWN 3 HONDAS WHICH I BOUGHT BECAUSE OF HONDA'S OUTSTANDING REPUTATION FOR RELIABILITY AND HONESTY, BUT I AM BITTERLY DISAPPOINTED AT THEIR APPARENT LACK OF CONCERN ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY VERY DAMAGING PROBLEM. I WOULD REMIND THEM AND NHTSA OF THE FORD/FIRESTONE CASE IN WHICH A KNOWN SAFETY PROBLEM WENT UNACKNOWLEDGED UNTIL A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS WITH INJURIES AND FATALITIES OCCURRED. SURELY HONDA WOULD NOT WISH TO EXPERIENCE SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS.

AIR BAGS
SRS INDICATOR ON AT 65000, BUT UNIT WAS RESET WHICH CLEARED THE PROBLEM. SRS INDICATOR BACK ON AT 134K. DELEAR THINKS THAT BAD ALTERNATOR MAY BE MASKING THE PROBLEM. ALTERNATOR BEING REPLACED (500 DOLLARS). IF THE SRS UNIT CANNOT BE RESET THEN THIS WILL BE ANOTHER 500 DOLLARS PLUS LABOR. THERE IS A RECALL NOTICE OUT BUT IT SEEMS TO BE FOR THE 4 CYL ACCORDS ONLY. LOGGING THIS ENTRY MAINLY TO GET THE WORD OUT. POSSIBLY IF ENOUGH OF US REPORT THIS AS AN ISSUE WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO GET SOME RELIEF FROM HONDA (YA RIGHT).
