Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My srs indicator light comes on and stayed on ever since we purchased the car. (honda civic 2001, 2 dr ex 4spa) i've been to the dealership for what is now the sixth time. the first time they reset it and said it was because i used the cigarette lighter to charge my cell phone. the second time they replaced the unit and for the sixth they were going to replace it again. in the meantime i have to drive honda civic vehicle with airbags that don?t work. mechanic blamed lastly that wife places purse and tote bag or package on passenger seat, that has caused the trip. it seems to me that the car does not meet its design specs. and is a lemon. and whoever heard of not being able to take a cell phone in a car or not being able to put a purse on the passenger seat. wife was in a rear end accident recently, no air bags went off and mechanic who repaired the rear end damage did nothing to the airbags. honda tried to blame them for the srs problem, even though i had the problem at least 4 times before the accident. after replacing the part several days ago, i was driving the car and the light came back on. nothing was in the passenger seat. *jb
