I have had continuous problems with my 2001 Honda Accord with the emergency lights. First the emergency brake light wouldn't turn off, and the dealership supposedly fixed it. It came on again just a few weeks later. I ended up taking it to another shop to be fixed. The SRS light kept coming on, and it was suppose to be fixed. Now it has come on and stayed on, and the dealership refuses to take care of it without charging me an exorbitant amount just to a diagnostic test. I think they should fix these problems at not cost to the customer.
