| My mother's 2005 honda civic airbag warning light came on and stayed on,she took it to a mechanic she trust and he said that it was probably the seatbelt tensioner but to be sure he hooked the car to the computer and sure enough it was. he said that he sees a lot of hondas with problems with the seatbelt that cause the warning light to come on and was wonder why there wasn't a recall on this problem. the fix cost my mom about $600.00 between the computer dignostic , labor and parts. he car only has 27000 miles on it and hasn't been in any accidents. she is 84 years old. i went online to look up this problem and there are a number of people that have this problem in fact the lady i work with has this problem with her honda crv that's about the same year as my mother's civic..just wonder if anything is being done? thank you for your time. *tr | |||
