| The srs light (airbag sensor) continued to stay lit on my dashboard while driving. i took it to my honda dealer (west hills honda in bremerton, wa) where they informed me they found a code 7-2 in the system, indicating there was an srs control unit failure. essentially, the electrical unit that would deploy the airbags had failed, which meant i no longer had the potential use of my vehicles airbags in case of an accident. the cost for a new part was $659.95, labor an additional $100.00, which meant a bill close to $800.00 with tax. far beyond my retirement income to handle. it would seem to me this is a safety related issue, similar to a seat belt problem (which honda would take care of for free). this srs control unit rarely fails, they told me. it certainly was not due to my negligence or lack of attention to proper maintenance. it would seem to me that since this is a potential safety issue, and was not caused by negligence by the owner of the vehicle, this should be covered by honda. otherwise, myself and my family are at risk driving this vehicle. i could certainly use your help in convincing honda to replace this faulty unit. thank you for your assistance with this matter. | |||

| I was hit head-on by a mid-sized sedan which drilled my license plate back to the firewall. the driver's side airbag failed to deploy, despite the speed (me 45, her 20) and the driver's shoulder harness failed to restrain me. i crushed the steering column with my chest and had to be removed with the jaws of life. honda sent a technician who declared a faulty seatbelt and faulty airbag sensor. the vehicle sustained over $15,000 damage, was fully repaired, although my insurance paid for it, not honda. i sustained multiple soft-tissue injuries, broken ribs and a dislocated shoulder. i continue with therapy almost three years later. *nm | |||

| I was involved in a 5 car accident in which my 2003 honda crv ex was rear-ended at 60 mph, i was pushed into another vehicle and sustained both front and rear damage totaling over $12,000. my airbag failed to deploy. i am now in physical therapy three times a week for a back injury that occurred upon impact. i also missed a week of work due to my injury. my vehicle has been in the process of being repaired for 3 weeks. it is currently at a dealership and i was told that my seat belt is locked and needs to be replaced and there is a problem with the srs safety system including my airbags. i was in complete shock that such an impact would not deploy the airbags and now i understand why. apparently the dearlership at lia honda in enfield, ct that is doing the safety check were also surprised the airbags did not deploy. i believe i would have walked away without injury if my safety features on my vehicle worked properly. *jb | |||
