AIR BAGS
I HAVE A 2001 HONDA ACCORD. MY SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON AND MY HORN DOES NOT WORK. ACCORDING TO NHTSA DEFECT INVESTIGATION #PE05043, "IN MARCH 2006, HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN (06-009) TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON SRS ILLUMINATION AND OPDS ISSUES TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES " MY CURRENT MILEAGE IS 86,000 MILES AND WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR LESS THAN 10 YEARS. I DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTIFICATION LETTER AND WHEN I CALLED HONDA SF TODAY TO INQUIRE, THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SERVICE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. IF MY VEHICLE MEETS THE CRITERIA SPECIFIED IN YOUR REPORT, WHY IS THE DEALERSHIP NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTY EXTENSION? TODAY, THE MAINTENANCE DEPT AT SF HONDA SUGGESTED THAT THE HORN WAS CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG ELECTRONIC SENSORS AND THAT IF I WANTED TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THAT NO PART OF SERVICE WOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND THAT IN INVESTIGATION #PE05043, YOU HAVE NOT TESTED TO SEE IF THIS DEFECT IS A VALID SAFETY ISSUE. ARE THERE ANY CURRENT TESTS THAT COMPARE THE SAFETY STANDARDS BETWEEN HAVING A FUNCTIONING AIRBAG AND SEAT BELT VERSES JUST A FUNCTIONING SEAT BELT? I DON'T THINK IT'S RIGHT THAT I SHOULD PAY $1500 TO FIX THIS. I SHOULD NOT WORRY ABOUT GETTING INTO A CRASH ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR SHOULD STILL BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY EXTENSION. ANYWAY, TO SUM IT UP. 1. I WANT HONDA TO HONOR THE WARRANTY EXTENSION PER YOUR INVESTIGATION AND I WANT HONDA TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE FOR FREE. 2. I WANT YOU TO INVESTIGATE TO FIND OUT WHY HONDA IS NOT HONORING THE WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR MYSELF AND POSSIBLY FOR OTHER PEOPLE. 3. I WANT YOU TO INVESTIGATE THE SAFETY IMPLICATIONS OF THIS FAULTY SRS SYSTEM AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY TO CURRENT HONDA OWNERS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND COMMITMENT TO SAFETY. *JB
