SRS control unit is the electrical / computer part that runs the air bag system and has failed twice in the past 14 months. The "SRS" light remains lit at start-up. The replacement part is $360+ alone. I believe this is a problem with these parts in Honda, as my parent's Accord has a similar problem and I have found other owner's complaints posted across the internet. American Honda (as I am sure other manufacturers are the same) won't stand behind these computer/electrical parts for more than 12 months / 12,000 miles. I believe a vital safety component such as this should be designed and built with warrantee to last longer than the headlights and other non-essential electrical parts. I am sure other Honda owners have been victimized, as I have been twice now in 5 years, by this faulty component.

This is the third time the SRS light has come on. The first time I had to pay to get it fixed and was told nothing was wrong and the unit was reset. The second time the reset it when I took the car in for brakes. After 4 months the light is back on. This originally occured 3 months out of warrenty and lynwood Honda would not do anything for me. I feel this is a defect in the car system.
