2001 HONDA CIVIC Complaints

DURING MY SONS VEHICLE ACCIDENT (HEAD ON WITH PINE TREE) THE AIR BAGS FAILED. I CONTACTED THE MANURFACTURER AND THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. THEY BOTH SAY THAT THE OTHER COMPANY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THE PROBLEM WITH THE FAILURE. SINCE IT SEEMS TO ME THAT IT WILL REQUIRE AN ENGINEER TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE MODE, THIS WOULD BE THE MANURFACTURE'S ISSUE. HOWEVER THEY SAY NO AND WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE OR ANY WRITTEN DOCUMENT STATING THEIR POSITION. CAN YOU PROVIDE THE INFORMATION ON WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?*AK

INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING SRS SENSOR LIGHT COMES ON, WHICH DISABLES THE AIR BAGS. DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE, BUT THEY HAVE RESET THE DEVICE THREE TIMES. BUT, FAILURE STILL EXISTS. *AK

2001 HONDA CIVIC SRS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS INSPECTED AND RESET THREE TIMES. THE FIRST TIME THEY CLAIMED THAT MY PURSE, WHICH I SOMETIMES PUT ON THE SEAT, MUST BE TOO HEAVY. THE SECOND TIME THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY ON A CAR WITH LESS THAN 8,000 MILES. THE THIRD TIME THEY INSISTED THAT I MUST BE PUTTING ARTICLES HEAVIER THAN 10 POUNDS ON THE SEAT. I HAVE BEEN CAREFUL ABOUT LEAVING THE SEAT CLEAR. THE LIGHT CAME ON WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS OF THE LAST RESET.*AK

THE DRIVER WAS UNABLE TO PLACE ANYTHING OVER 80 POUNDS ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF THIS HAPPENS THE SRS LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD AND REMAINED ON UNTIL THE MECHANIC RESET IT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC INFORMED THE DRIVER THAT IT WAS DESIGNED THAT WAY. THE MECHANIC HAS RESET IT OVER FIVE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS AT THIS TIME. *LA
