Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I recently purchased a 1997 honda civic from my sister, who did not realize that the srs light being on was a problem. it has been on for the last 4 years (since about 60k miles). i am looking into having it replaced, but according to my research, honda does not know how to fix it. everything that i have read about this problem indicates that it is a $400+ repair and the repair does not last. they have blamed it on a multitude of things including using a cell phone, a low battery, and a defective part. this makes honda vehicles unreliable and more importantly, unsafe. i have read about this problem on many different makes and models of honda vehicles.
