Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I have a 2001 honda accord ex that i purchased from beaudry honda in tucson, az. i had the computer module replaced approximately 1 1/2 years ago because the air bag light indicated there was a malfunction. i wrote a letter to honda of america, torrance, ca, but they were unwilling to reimburse me for this defect. since purchasing this car during may 2001, the side impact air bag light has activated on several occasions. in late 2005, the master control air bag module was found defective. to replace this module will cost over $650.00 in parts alone. i understand the nhtsa has issued a warning to honda accord owners for defective air bag deployment systems. i am requesting that honda cover the repair for this factory defect as well as a reimbursement for the previous repairs. there is a tsb on your site regarding this matter. thank you for our prompt attention to this matter as it places my and my family at great risk! *nm
