Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: With no vehicle accident of any sort, the srs light came on my 2002 honda civic lx, which at that time was out of warranty. we have been driving since that time with possibly no srs capability in this vehicle. american honda is aware of flaws in their srs system, and the civic is not the only vehicle with these issues (i.e.: accord, pilot, odyssey). apparently honda would be pleased as punch for an owner to pay $90+ for a diagnosis, then $800.00 to $1,000.00+ to have various srs components replaced. i find this highly unacceptable to have to go through this on a $16,000.00 vehicle. i seriously question whether the airbags will deploy even if the srs light was off. i have read of several instances where frontal impacts resulted in non-deployment of the srs airbags.*jb
