Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: S.r.s light came on and took it in to the dealer on nov. 4, 04'. the dtc code requiered to have the left seat belt hoster replaced. on nov. 7th the s.r.s light came back on, so i took the car back to the dealer (hoy fox acura). the dtc code this time was 15-3 witch indicates that the opds sensor or opds unit now needs to be replaced. the only thing is that this time it will not be covered under warranty like the seat belt hoster (since seatbelts have lifetime warranty). so it seams to me that there is defenetly something wrong with the airbag system sensors and that a recall should be send out for this. instead of one having to pay $532 for parts, $75 for labor and $75 for diag., plus taxes.*ak
