problem #3

Accord 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 3,000 miles
1) front passenger seat does not lock in place. Seat slides all the way to the front when I brake. My passengers have to quickly bring their arms foward to stop themselves from hitting the dashboard; one time my passenger hand hit her eye in the process of trying to stop the seat from hitting the dashboard. 2) SRS indicator light come on when I just place a light purse on the passenger seat. This is a 2001 Honda Accord V6 with only 15,000 miles. 3) there have been numerous complaints to nhts regarding this SRS light malfunction. When will nhts do a recall? the dealers want to charge me to look into the seat not locking in place, and the SRS light.
