AIR BAGS
THE SRS CAME ON AND WILL NOT GO OFF. I CONTACTED HONDA USA AND THEY SAID THAT SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRENTY IT WAS AT THE DEALERS DISCREATION IF THIS WOULD BE COVERED. I THEN RECEIVED A CALL FROM MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE LABOR TO FIND THE PROBLEM AND THEN THEY WOULD DECIDED IF THEY WOULD COVER THE REST UNDER WARRENTY. I FEEL THAT SINCE IT SO CLOSE TO THE WARRENTY PERIOD AND SOMETHING THAT SHOULD NEVER FAIL IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRENTY JUST LIKE THE SEAT BELTS ARE.*AK
