    My srs light indicating a malfunctioning of the front airbags came up just when i closed the dashboard cabin. When reported this to honda dealer they say it is not covered under warranty and they don't know how it came up as this light should only turn on incase of accident. Now they want me to pay $1100 - $1200 to replace the whole srs unit. Please suggest. *tr

Also, since 2012 as i accelerate and press the gas pedal my car shudders, like its skipping. Not sure why but it's not right and shouldn't do this. *tr
