SRS DASH BOARD LIGHT IS 'ON' AND WILL NOT TURN-OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE F DEALER REPAIRED IT FOR FREE BECAUSE THE CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRENTY. WHEN I APPROACHED THE DEALER ABOUT THE SECOND FAILURE I WAS TOLD THAT THEY ONLY WARRENTY THE REPAIR FOR ONE YEAR - THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE ONE YEAR WARRENTY EXPIRED. GIVEN THE NUMBER OF REGISTERED COMPLAINTS WITH NHTSA ABOUT THIS PROBLEM HONDA SHOULD BE FORCED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE. *AK

THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IN MY CAR IS DEFECTIVE, CAUSING THE SRS SYSTEM TO BE INACTIVE. HONDA STATES THAT THIS IS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT AND THAT IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THIS FAULTY PART. I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE ELSE AROUND THE COUNTRY MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM. WHAT GOOD IS A SAFETY FEATURE IF THE MANUFACTURER WON'T WARRANT IT FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS? *AK
