Complaint for Honda Accord 2001

Complaint about AIR BAGS

Consumer Complaint:
MY SRS LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES IN MY 2001 HONDA ACCORD. I TOOK IT TO A HONDA DEALERSHIP IN JUNE, 2005. I WAS TOLD THAT WHEN THE SRS LIGHT IS ON, MY AIR BAG SYSTEM IS INOPERABLE AND AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY ON IMPACT. DEALERSHIP INSPECTION FOUND A CODE FOR SEAT BELT BUCKLE SWITCH/SENSOR CAUSING THE SRS LIGHT. THE BUCKLE SET HAS BEEN SPECIAL ORDERED AND HAS NOT ARRIVED AFTER ONE MONTH. IN THE MEANTIME, I DRIVE AROUND WITH MY SRS LIGHT ON AND NO AIRBAGS. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE? DOES THIS ISSUE NEED TO BE ADDRESSED AS A POSSIBLE RECALL? SO MANY OF THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE ARE WITH NO RESOLUTION. SO FAR I HAVE NO RESOLUTION. I DID NOT BUY A CAR WITH NO AIR BAGS. I WANT TO FEEL CONFIDENT MY AIR BAGS WILL DO THEIR JOB SHOULD I BE IN AN ACCIDENT. THEY HAVE SAVED MY LIFE IN THE PAST. IF YOU HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE, I ENCOURAGE YOU TO FILE A COMPLAINT.
