The vehicle was involved in fatality which was my brother, they cannot explain why the vehicle entered into a skid on a pretty straight part of the highway not sure if it was a powertrain issue as i did see a recall after i did some research following the accident. the other issue is the mechanism on how the driver safety belt attaches to the frame as that was damaged on first impact which caused my brother to be ejected. something as important as a safety should not be compromised so easily.
When the passenger seat belt was fastened, the supplemental restraint system (srs) warning light lit up. the srs light remained on until i erased the scs by entering the appropriate memory erase signal. after the passenger seat belt was buckled again, the srs light came on again requiring another scs erasure to turn it off. after every scs erasure to turn the srs light off, it turns back on every time the passenger seat buckle is fastened. it is my understanding that in this car (2001 acura cl type s), the air bag deployment system is inactivated whenever the srs light is on.
Tl*the contact owns 2001 acura cl. he stated that two of the front seat belts did not retract and became stuck. the contact noticed that the seat belts were not functioning when the vehicle was purchased. the air bag light continued to illuminate. the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer ten times but the dealer could find the cause of the failure. the vehicle had not been repaired when the complaint was filed. the failure mileage was approximately 17,000. the current mileage was approximately 164,000.
