| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Srs control unit is the electrical / computer part that runs the air bag system and has failed twice in the past 14 months. the "srs" light remains lit at start-up. the replacement part is $360+ alone. i believe this is a problem with these parts in hondas, as my parent's accord has a similar problem and i have found other owner's complaints posted across the internet. american honda (as i am sure other manufacturers are the same) won't stand behind these computer/electrical parts for more than 12 months / 12,000 miles. i believe a vital safety component such as this should be designed and built with warrantee to last longer than the headlights and other non-essential electrical parts. i am sure other honda owners have been victimized, as i have been twice now in 5 years, by this faulty component.*ak |
