I have a 1998 honda accord. The SRS light has been on for some time, and I did not know about the issues of them with the 98-2002 accords until just now. Many people have filed complaints about this issue because honda refuses to correct the issue. It makes driving he vehicle dangerous because you no longer have your secondary backup system to help keep you safe in a accident. And from what I am understanding it also minimizes the effectiveness of the seat belt as well. If the federal safety agency group is aware of this and has not forced honda to do recall work on this matter than shame on you. We are putting our lives in your hands to make these companies keep their safety track record. My accord has nearly 139k miles and has always been maintained well. I feel as if I have had a injustice done to me, and now I have to worry about when or if I get in a accident whether or not my air bag will work, and according to others with he same problem it doesn't.
