Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Srs indicator light came on for no apparent reason in my 2002 honda civic ex, which was purchased new. the failure of the part in question causes the airbags to fail in the event of a collision. i have been assured that this is a common failure in the srs control unit, and is not due to any negligence of the car owner (when the vehicle has not been involved in an accident). i have come across many people with the same complaints, and i can not understand how such a vital part failing can not be grounds for a safety recall. due to the high failure rate of this part, the expense to correct it, the abundance of complaints, and the safety-related concerns arising from such failure, i ask that this be investigated and a safety recall be issued. thank you.*ak
