I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS HAD BEEN ORDERED PRIOR TO MY APPOINTMENT.

I AM GETTING NOWHERE WITH MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP HERE IN AUSTIN, TEXAS, ( HOWDY HONDA). THE SERVICE DEPT. TELLS ME THAT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE PART # 09HOZ-14-045 IS OK, BUT PASSENGER SIDE PART # 09HOZ-14-040 NEEDS REPLACING AS A DANGER TO THE PASSENGER OF EXPLODING! THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH HAVING ME DRIVE MY HONDA KNOWING THE DANGER TO MY WIFE OR ANYONE IN THE PASSENGERS SEAT AS THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE! I HAVE SUGGESTED TO THE SERVICE DEPT. AT HOWDY HONDA TO DISENGAGE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM UNTIL THEY GET THE PART/PARTS BUT I WAS TOLD THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA! MY QUESTION IS ; "IS IT A GOOD IDEA TO BE DRIVING AROUND WITH A TICKING TIME BOMB"! THIS DEALERSHIP HAS NOT EVEN OFFERED ME A SAFE AUTO TO DRIVE WHILE THE PART IS RECEIVED BY THEM! I AM NOT AT ALL PLEASED WITH THE LACK OF CONCERN SHOWN ME AS A HONDA OWNER! PLEASE CONTACT ME REGARDING THIS MATTER AS I AM CONCERNED FOR OUR SAFETY IN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE SRS (SECONDARY RESTRAINT SYSTEM) LIGHT CAME ON. IT ORIGINALLY HAPPENED WHILE THE WAS UNDER WARRANTY WITH THE PREVIOUS OWNER. UNDER 36,000 MILES. THE HONDA DEALER WHERE THE CAR WAS SERVICED RESET THE LIGHT, REPLACED THE SEATBELT BUCKLE BUT WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE SRS LIGHT COMING BACK ON. MULTIPLE TIMES. I BELIEVE THIS MEANS THE AIRBAGS ARE NOT WORKING. HONDA ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. AND CLAIM THAT SINCE IT OCCURRED UNDER WARRANTY UNDER THE FORMER OWNERS OF THE CAR THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING IT. *TR

THIS IS REGARDING AN OPEN RECALL LETTER THAT WE RECEIVED AND WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT IT ALREADY HAD BEEN COMPLETED. WHICH LIGHT IS STILL ON AND THE LETTER OF THE RECALL AND THE LIGHT STILL SAY THAT IT IS NOT DONE BUT ALL THE DEALERS STATE THAT IT IS. WE ARE NOT WANTING TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS TRUE. SO IF THERE IS ANOTHER AREA THAT I NEED TO BE AT PLEASE LET ME KNOW WE ARE JUST LOOKING FOR THIS STUFF TO BE RESOLVED AND HONDA HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. *TR

THIS IS ABOUT SRS INDICATOR LIGHT AND OPDS SYSTEM. SRS LIGHT TURNED ON IN JUNE 2004, AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD "FALSE ALARM" AND IT WAS RESET. THE SAME THING HAPPENS SEVERAL MOUNTS LATER. IN 2007 HONDA ISSUED EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR OPDS SYSTEM, IN THAT DOCUMENT SRS LIGHT (STAYS ON) IS LINKED TO OPDS SYSTEM. BY AN E-MAIL FROM HONDA I WAS TOLD IF SRS LIGHT IS ON (OPDS FAILURE) THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE AND HONDA MUST ISSUE A RECALL FOR THE OPDS SYSTEM. *TR

I WAS DRIVING TODAY AND SUDDENLY THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON. THE RADIO SHUT OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS WHILE THE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN THE SRS LIGHT SHUT OFF, THE RADIO WENT BACK TO WORKING PROPERLY. A FEW MINUTES LATER, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHEN I WAS AT A RED LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY MECHANIC WHO RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. HE STATED THAT THE PROBLEM I HAD EXPERIENCED DID NOT REGISTER; THUS, HE COULDN'T FIND AN UNDERLYING CAUSE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS TOPIC FURTHER ON GOOGLE.COM, I DISCOVERED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH THE SAME MAKE AND MODEL. *TR
