AIR BAGS
ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 2003, I BROUGHT MY CAR IN WITH ABOUT 12000 MILES TO DEALER BECAUSE THE SRS LIGHT WAS GOING ON. DEALER COULD NOT DETECT A PROBLEM. IT WHEN ON OR OFF UNTIL 95,000 MILES. AT 95,000 MILES THE LIGHT STOOD ON. AT 98,000 MILES, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION INSPECTED DUE TO A RECALL. I ASKED DEALER TO CHECKED MY AIR BAG PROBLEM. THEY DETECTED PROBLEM AS BEING A FAULTY AIR BAG MODULE. UNFORTUNATELY DEALER, DID NOT WANT TO REPAIR MODULE UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY BECAUSE IT HAD EXPIRED. ALTHOUGH, I BROUGHT IN MY CAR AT 12,000 MILES LETTING THEM KNOW OF A PROBLEM. IT WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND OPTED NOT TO HAVE IT REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. I TOOK IT TO ANOTHER MECHANIC AND HAD THE AIR BAG SYSTEM RE- SET. THE LIGHT WHEN OFF. HOWEVER, THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON A MONTH LATER. CURRENTLY, IAM RIDING THE CAR WITH NO AIR BAGS ON AND THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO HONOR MY WARRANTY WHEN I FIRST BROUGHT IN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AT 12,000 MILES AND INFORMED ME THAT IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT CAN I DO?*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WHEN MY 2000 HONDA ACCORD EX V6 WAS ABOUT 2 YEARS OLD, THE LIGHT DISPLAY ON MY AUDIO TUNER/CD WENT OUT. I THOUGHT SOMEONE JUST NEEDED TO CHANGE THE DISPLAY TO GET THE LIGHT BACK ON, BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT THE WHOLE UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER DID REPLACE IT FREE, BUT NOT UNTIL I PUSHED THEM TO SEE THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS. TODAY, ABOUT 2 YEARS AFTER THE UNIT WAS REPLACED, I STARTED MY CAR TO FIND THAT THE LIGHT WAS ON, BUT THE AUDIO UNIT WAS NOT PRODUCING ANY SOUND. I AM CALLING THE DEALER TODAY, BUT I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE I HAVE NEVER HAD TO REPLACE A RADIO ON A CAR AT ALL, NOW I AM GOING TO REPLACE IT TWICE ON A CAR THAT IS 4 YEARS OLD. SOME HOW I DON'T THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE GRATIS.*AK

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL:SENSOR/CONTROL MODULE
THE RED SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON FOR A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS. DURING THIS TIME, THE CAR WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS AND CITED THAT PERHAPS ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT NEAR THE DRIVER SEAT WAS CAUSING INTERFERENCE OF SOME KIND. THAT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, AS I HAVE A 2000 (HONDA ACCORD CPE EX V6) AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD A CELL PHONE AND NOT HAD PROBLEMS TILL NOW. THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE LIGHT AND IT HAS NOT COME UP SINCE. BUT I HAVE READ THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS HAPPENED WITH OTHER CARS. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE DONE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT CAN BE POTENTIALLY SERIOUS DURING AN ACCIDENT IF THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT TO DEPLOY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT IT COULD MEAN ANYTHING FROM THE FRONT OR SIDE AIRBAGS. I DON'T THINK THAT THEY SHOULD TAKE THAT RISK.*AK
