I own a 2001 Honda Civic. At 45,000 miles the safety restraint system light came on. Since it was a safety issue Honda should be responsible for investigating and repairing the defect. However, Honda disputed this. If the airbag didn't deploy or seat belts didn't work serious injury could be incurred.

We have had two Honda Civics now. The first was a 96 that the SRS light came on. It was estimated at $900. To repair and it would not pass Virginia state inspection till it did. We got another car but just before that we bought a 2001 Civic for the daughter to drive to and from college. Shortly after buying the SRS light came on. After much research it seems or two was not a fluke. The internet is is loaded with complaints from owners who have the same problem and dealers fleecing the public with repairs. Basically if your driving around with the light on you don't know if your air bags will deploy. If you try to get it fixed, it's a huge bill. How can Honda and the government blatantley disregard this serious safety defect and pass the responsibility onto the consumer? this is crazy. I recommend you take a look at google for" Honda SRS light" and review the chatter. Then look at all the work around folks are using meanwhile disregarding safety of passengers. Honda needs to fix this obvious problem regarding the safety of the people driving their products.
