Takata recall. I have a 10 year old honda accord that is well within the danger zone for recall for airbag failure. Todays washington post says takata admits the problem and says it will recall 40 million affected vehicles. I should be high on the priority list can you help me assure this?.

Air bag light comes on, won't go off. This has been going on since april 2016. Light comes on when car is started, and stays on while driving till car is turned off. I read this is an ongoing thing. Why isn't there a recall on this problem? The cost to have this fixed is half the value of what the car is worth.

I own a 1996 honda accord lx which has a faulty driver side seat belt. I don't have the money to fix the problem and is quite expensive. This happened 4 or five months ago and is, of course, a serious safety concern. Now, as of this date, the srs light has come on which apparently is another safety concern due to the fact that the airbags will not deploy. *tr

1-there are no major events which lead up to the failure. 2-the srs light has come on randomly 3. Nothing was done to correct this failure. I have noticed that many people are having problems with the srs light coming on in honda accords and mine is no exception. Nothing has been done by honda to make sure this safety feature is corrected. That is very disappointing. *tr

I bought the car on oct 22nd, and on the second day it stalled because of wrong fuse being placed in the car. During that check up i found out that the car has had extensive body damage and none of this is shown up in carfax report and also the dealer told me that the car was never involved in any accident. So i want to return the car under consumer fraud.
