This is a complaint added to a number of others on the odi website concerning repeated failures of the srs system in 1995 honda accords. i first had to change the srs control unit in january 1998, which was covered by the honda warranty. in august 2002, the srs control unit failed again, and i had to pay to replace it. the unit again failed in july 2009. in a phone call, american honda advised this was my responsibility. i believe this is honda's responsibility and a serious safety problem, as there is no way of knowing whether air bags will deploy in case of an accident. given the number of complaints filed with odi, there should be a recall. *tr

2-3 weeks ago notice the srs light in my honda was on. the mechanic said the dealer would need to repair. after looking online i noticed there was a safety recall issued in 1996. i called odi who told me to contact honda honda said call local dealer to repair after calling the service mgr. who said the vehicle had already been serviced for that particular recall and i would have to make an appointment to have it repair at my own cost. have since called honda back and they will "escalate" the case. *tr
