| Description of the problem | The red air-bag indicator began glowing steady red on march 22, 2016. On march 28, i took the vehicle to local honda dealer to check on the problem. Their diagnostic test that indicates "internal failure of srs unit". This part apparently tells the airbag system whether or not someone is sitting in either / both of the front. The dealer's technician said that the bag 'may or may not deploy in an accident' and it is 'not likely' that the airbag will deploy while i am driving down the road. Apparently, honda does not consider this sensor an integral part of the safety system. I can have a new unit installed for $574. 95. I was also required to pay for the diagnostic, $112. 30, since this is a part the manufacturer does not cover. I feel that as this sensor is a part that the consumer does not maintain and is an integral part of the safety system, as it connects directly to the airbag deployment. I believe that honda should pay for this repair to the safety system as well as reimburse me for the diagnostic test. Both the driver and the passenger airbags may be affected in the event of an accident. Therefore, i wish to file a safety complaint against honda, lejeune honda cars in jacksonville, nc for failure to maintain the vehicle's safety system. |
