| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The complaint is regarding the srs module. the unit malfunctioned, giving a red dashboard alarm light. the local honda dealer attempted to reset the trouble light, but couldn't. the dealer indicated the part number on my service invoice as honda part # 06772-sv4-a71 for a 1997 honda accord. i queried several salvage yards for a used part as the oem part was in excess of $500. i was sent the srs module from a salvage yard only to discover that the srs module was indeed from a 1997 honda, however, my srs module (the original defective srs module) was from a 1996 honda.obviously, i purchased a new 1997 honda with a 1996 electronic part. this part was or could have been on the shelf for about 2 years before it was installed in my vehicle. my srs part number taken from my vehicle has part # model 77960-sv4-a93. what is a 1996 part doing in my "new" 1997 vehicle? moreover, this is a critical safety issue that is a direct reflection on life or death..............namely mine and my family. electronic parts are not like engine parts that have indefinite shelf life. a crank shaft can sit on a shelf for 30 years and still work properly when installed. try the same thing with an electronic component. thanks, steve chludzinski. *ak |
