The mechanic has reset it over five times and the problem still occurs at this time.

My Honda Civic (2001 ex) has been into the dealer approximately 5 times since it was purchased for a problem with the SRS light remaining on. This has occurred with or without items on the front seat of the passenger side of the car. Each time the problem was fixed, the SRS light would come back on within days, weeks or months. I am concerned that there is a serious flaw in the design of the airbag system, which could result in a potentially fatal or serious injury, should the car be involved in an accident.

I bought a used 2001 Honda Civic from premiere motorcars of Santa Fe in Nov. Of 2002. The car had the SRS light on and needed new clips for the sun roof. They were fixed before I brought the car home. Approximately one month after I bought the car I was parked at raleys supermarket when an individual drivig a truck hit the passenger side of my bumper. When I took the car to be fixed, the repair shop told me that there was prior damage to my radiator. I had to pay an additional $1000 to fix everything. I was showed the prior damage before the repair shop fixed it; some of my bumper was actually taped together from the inside, it was not visible at all from the outside. When I told Santa Fe premiere about this they insisted that I had done the damage. Since then my SRS light has gone on about 5 times and each time I take it to the dealer to have it fixed I am told that they cannot find anything wrong so they just reset the light. The mantenience required light has now been on for the past three days and I am uncomfortable with the work done at Santa Fe premiere motors. My car had to have been in a bad car accident before I bought it.

- Crete, IL, USA

SRS light (airbag system light) has activated four times over the last year to this date indicating that the airbag system is not operational at that time. Vehicle has been taken into perfection Honda in albuquerque, New Mexico, for repairs. Different explanations have been given each time, and it was replaced on one occasion. The last explanation given was that a cellular telephone was being charged and/or used in the car near the seat. The SRS light was reset. Within one day the SRS light had come on again at a time that no cellular telephone was being used and/or charged. Honda's explanation of the use of electronic devices near the seat is not satisfactory as it places the driver and passengers in an unsafe situation. Cellular telephone usage and/or charging may be necessary for personal safety but possibly will result in the airbag system not functioning during what could be a crucial time. Honda should be forced to fix this defect immediately for the safety of its customers. Numerous complaints have already been filed with the NHTSA concerning this situation.
