| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I am writing in regards to a problem i am having with my 2001 honda accord side air bag light. the side air bag light goes on for no reason then turns itself off in 10 to 15 minutes. i have researched this problem online and find that many other 2001 honda accord owners are having this same exact issue, and have filed complaints. they have been to the dealer spending their own money to replace the sensor/control module but it is only a temporary fix. why pay for something that is broken and is not the fault of the owner?? the dealer says if the side air bag light is illuminated, the side air bags will not deploy. there is still no recall regarding this extremely dangerous safety issue. what will it take to start a recall regarding this issue? has the nhtsa conducted an investigation into the problem of the side air bag indicator light on 2001 honda accords? i bought this car specifically for the side air bags. amazing, hondas made after 2001 do not have this problem, so honda has obviously corrected a known problem. they should have to correct it in the 2001 model year as well. *jb |
