| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The srs light came on in our 1996 isuzu oasis minivan. the mechanic at isuzu said it wouldn't respond to his diagnostic computer and would need to be replaced. the airbags could not be counted on to protect us in an accident. it would cost $675 for the part alone, not counting the labor charges. the srs unit is a honda part (the oasis is the honda odyssey). my mechanic tried to get the part from a local honda dealership service and the honda mechanic told him that honda is covering replacement of that part in the odyssey for free under warranty. i called isuzu and they currently have no recall of that part, however there are multiple complaints on nhtsa's web site for 1996 odysseys and 1996 oasis's having this same problem. *ak i am concerned regarding our safety if our car is involved in an accident and the airbags are not functioning. i also question why this srs unit in an 8 year old car would have burned out prematurely requiring such a costly repair. certainly you wouldn't expect that to happen to this number of people unless there was a defect in the srs unit in the first place. i would appreciate any further information regarding this problem. thank you |
