TAKATA RECALL-MY SRS LIGHT IS ON FOR THE LAST YEAR OR SO. I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD COST $300 UP FRONT TO HAVE THIS CHECKED OUT. THE LOCAL GARAGE WHERE I HAVE MY CAR INSPECTED SAID THIS WAS PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL BUT HONDA WON'T CHECK IT WITHOUT $300 UP FRONT AND I JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT. MAYBE I WILL FINALLY GET IT FIXED UNDER THIS CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE EVERYTHING ON MY CAR WORKING PROPERLY.

I WAS AT HOME WENT TO CAR. CAR WOULD NOT START. DASHBOARD SHOWED PROBLEM WAS BRAKE LAMP. HAD ALREADY GONE TO MECHANIC WHO THOUGHT HE CORRECTED PROBLEM BUT OBVIOUSLY HADN'T.

DASHBOARD SHOWS: BRAKE LAMP PROBLEM. CAR WAS AT MY HOME AND WOULD NOT START. WHEN CHECKED BY MECHANIC CABLE UNDER BATTERY FRAYED AND WAS REPLACED. CAR WAS THEN ABLE TO BE DRIVEN HOWEVER GOT THE SAME MESSAGE TWO DAYS LATER.

I MOVED FROM ARIZONA TO FLORIDA. I HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL REPLACEMENT. THREE DAYS AGO I SAW THE SRS (SAFETY RESTRAINT SYSTEM) LIGHT COME ON AND STAY ON IN MY CAR. BECAUSE THE RECALL IS GOING INTO BANKRUPTCY I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED TO THE CAR. IT JUST TURNED ON. I CONTACTED HONDA AND THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT GOING TO ADDRESS THIS BECAUSE I HAD THE RECALL WORK DONE. I CAN'T IMAGE WHY THEY WON'T ASSIST WITH THE DIAGNOSIS AND TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. I WAS UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT THE SEATBELT AND AIRBAGS SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE NEVER IN ANY ACCIDENTS AND I HAVE MAINTAINED THE CAR, IT IS IN GREAT CONDITION.

WHILE INSPECTING MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD I NOTICED THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE SUB-FRAME IS ROTTING OUT AND APPEARS TO BE CLOSE TO BREAKING APART. THIS LOOKS TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

MY HONDA WAS HIT AND THE AIRBAGS AT THE STEERING WHEEL WENT OFF AND BURNT MY ARM AND IT WAS VERY HARD TO BREATH
