| My daughter was in a high speed accident in a 2001 acura cl 3.2 (going approximately 35-45 miles per hour on impact). air bags did not deploy on her vehicle, but did on the other driver's car. impact was on front passenger side of vehicle. both cars were deemed totalled by insurance companies. | |||

| Today i went to start my car and the srs light was on and i didn't know what it was. so i called my acura dealership and was told to bring it in for them to look at. i was told that it is not safe to drive since my air bags would not deploy with that light on and that i would have to pay since it was not covered under warranty or my extended service contract which i paid extra for. they said that the problem is in a sensor in the passenger seat and that even if i didn't replace it they still would charge me around $90 just because they looked at it. they said the manager called california and they have agreed to goodwill it, but you will have to pay for the labor which is $160 and out of my safety i chose to go ahead and pay for it, but don't think it is fair that i have to be responsible for a manufacturer defect. i've read online that many other people have had the same problem such as at www.acurazine.com and other acura owner sites. *jb | |||

| On the airbag system which controls the deployment of the airbag for my vehicle. it is referred to as the opds sensor, this is suppose to be the brain of the airbag system. my vehicle was taken care of with the utmost care, and this sensor keeps malfunctioning and turning on my srs light on my vehicle. the dealer tells me that when the srs light comes on all my airbags are shut off. they say this part malfunctions all the time and can happen just from a cell phone near the seat or leaning over to far in the seat. if you read online forums for this, many many people have the same issue with this vehicle. then i go to acura and they tell me its $600 to fix it because my airbags wont work unless i spend the money. this has been an ongoing problem with many acuras over the past years. i appreciate your help in this matter and know many other people who have problems like mine, they just don't know how to go about filing a proper complaint. sincerely, william brown. *nm | |||
