| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: The srs unit for airbag deployment has failed on my 2000 honda accord lx with 104,000 miles. the honda dealers want ~$740.00 to replace this unit as there is no extended warranty or coverage beyond the manufacturers 36/36 factory warranty. considering the essential necessity of this unit it seems unreasonable for this unit should fail within 104,000 miles and in less than 6 years. i had today 3 different honda dealerships tell me today that it can be expected that these units will begin failing at 100,000 miles! how can this be the case? isn't it reasonable to expect the safety of the airbags being deployed in a car that is in very good condition mechanically and structurally to continue for a much longer period? isn't it also to be expected that early failure of this unit should be covered either fully or partially by honda? it is reasonable to think so. i also own a 1992 and a 1994 honda accord with the same srs unit with no failures having occurred. i would like the nhtsa to investigate this matter as to premature failure occurring. *nm |
