I AM EXACTLY IN THE SAME SITUATION AS COMPLAINT NUMBER 566928. SRS LIGHT CAME ON ONE DAY AND STAYED ON, SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND RESET THE SYSTEM. WITH IN 2 WEEKS, SRS LIGHT CAME BACK ON STAYED ON AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE SRS CONTROL UNIT WAS DEFECTIVE AND IT COSTS $825.50 AT OWNER'S EXPENSE. IT WASN'T SIMPLY FAIR AND I AM NOT HAPPY TO PAY FOR THIS. IT IS NOTHING THAT I DID WRONG, SIMPLY ONE OF THEIR SAFETY FEATURES WAS DEFECTIVE. SINCE THERE WAS ANOTHER CASE EXIST ON THIS. IT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED AND MAY NEED TO RECALL THIS. IF THE SRS SYSTEM BECOME DEFECTIVE, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND HONDA SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR. *NLM

THE SRS LIGHT ON OUR 1997 HONDA EX-V6 MODEL WILL NOT GO OFF. WE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER, WILLEY HONDA, (WHERE THE AUTOMOBILE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND ALL SERVICE WORK HAS BEEN DONE) AND THEY SIMPLY TURNED THE LIGHT OFF SAYING THERE MUST BE A "SHORT" IN THE LIGHT. THE FIRST COMPLAINT WAS BEFORE THE WARRANTY WAS UP ON THE VEHICLE. SEVERAL TIMES SINCE WHEN IT HAS COME BACK ON - THEY WOULD TURN IT OFF. NOW THEY ARE TELLING US IT MUST BE THE COMPUTER SYSTEM AND THEY WANT US TO PAY $750.+ TO HAVE IT REPAIRED PROPERLY AS THE AIR BAGS MIGHT NOT BE WORKING RIGHT! WE FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TIME INSTEAD OF "GUESSING". THIS SHOULD NOT BE OUR PROBLEM NO MATTER HOW MANY MILES ARE ON THE CAR! WE ARE, NOW, AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IN CASE THEY INFLATE WHEN THEY "SHOULDN'T" OR WHEN THEY "SHOULD". I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CUSTOMER SERVICE HONDA AND THEY SAID THE WARRANTY WAS UP AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY. I JUST HEARD ABOUT YOUR AGENCY OR I WOULD HAVE CONTACTED YOU WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED! THANKS SO MUCH FOR WHATEVER YOU CAN DO FOR ME! THERE ISN'T REALLY AN "INCIDENT DATE" BUT THE PROGRAM WOULDN'T LET ME GO ON WITHOUT A "DATE". I PUT THE DATE THE "NEWS OF THE COST" WAS GIVEN TO ME AT WILLEY HONDA! *JB

ON CERTAIN SEDANS, COUPES, HATCHBACKS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, ELECTRICAL CONTACTS IN THE IGNITION SWITCH CAN DEGRADE DUE TO THE HIGH ELECTRICAL CURRENT PASSING THROUGH THE SWITCH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: WORN CONTACTS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE IGNITION SWITCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN JUNE 14, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009 OR ACURA AT 1-800-382-2238.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. CERTAIN VEHICLES WERE MANUFACTURED WITH BALL JOINTS THAT CAN PREMATURELY WEAR OUT AND, IN THE WORSE CASE, THE BALL JOINT WOULD SEPARATE CAUSING THE FRONT SUSPENSION TO COLLAPSE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION WOULD RESULT IN VEHICLE DECELERATION AND A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER. ALSO STEERING CONTROLLABILITY WOULD BE REDUCED.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINTS.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SEDAN, COUPE AND WAGON PASSENGER VEHICLES EXCEPT THE DX MODEL AND MODELS WITH V6 ENGINES. THE FACTORY INSTALLED AIR CONDITIONER WIRE HARNESS WAS IMPROPERLY ROUTED ALLOWING SOME WIRES TO RUB AGAINST EACH OTHER, EVENTUALLY CAUSING A SHORT CIRCUIT.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE SHORT CIRCUIT CANPOSSIBLY CAUSE THE UNDERHOOD WIREING TO OVERHEAT AND SMOKE, CAUSING A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. A SHORT CIRCUIT CAN ALSO RESULT IN A BLOWN FUSE OR DEAD BATTERY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLES FOR PROPER ROUTING OF THESE WIRES. ANY HARNESS IMPROPERLY ROUTED WILL BE INSPECTED FOR DAMAGE AND THE ROUTING WILL BE CORRECTED. IF ANY INSULATION IS WORN THROUGH AND THE COPPER WIRES ARE EXPOSED, THE HARNESS WILL BE REPLACED. DEALERS WILL ALSO INSTALL PLASTIC TUBING TO PROTECT THE HARNESS.
