    Similar to other complaints already on file, the srs light stays on constantly. This problem was checked by a honda dealer and an independent auto repair facility. Both concluded that either faulty wiring and electronics were causing this problem or that one of the airbags is defective. The estimated repair cost is $700. Since the car has never been in an accident , the airbag system has never been touched since the…

    Honda sent a recall for the airbags. Took to dealership and they said they would fix for free. Had me wait 2 hours while they didn't do anything but look at my car. The srs light is still on. The government should step in and do something about it. How is it that thousands of hondas are riding around and the airbag wont even deploy if you get into a accident. Not to mention honda wont even make sure that its safe.…
