Srs light came on in my 2007 honda civic lx. Took it into dealership and reset the code. Honda said my SRS light being on means the driver and passenger airbag would not deploy if in accident. Honda reset my light and said to come back if the light came on again. Srs light came back on as soon as left dealer. Called honda dealership and they said to come back and they would replace my airbag at no cost. Once at dealership they said it would be $685.40 for cable reel and $833.43 for parts for drivers airbag. I feel this is a defective product which honda is failing to addressing leaving people who do not have $1500 to pay them to fix their defective airbag equipment having to drive a dangerous car. Extremely disappointed with the runaround and inconsistent information honda dealership provided. I did not decline for them to fix my airbag and cable reel, I could not afford their quoted cost of $1,500 for them to fix the airbags in my car. I cannot understand how they are not covering this issue when there was a recall for this same defect in the accord.

Started noticing a rough ride and excessive road noise so took my vehicle to a local honda dealer for alignment and was told the noise was due to tire wear. Over the past year two repair places that have replaced my oil have told me the tire wear was due to worn out struts. This spring the dealer finally told me it was a common problem caused by the upper control arms and it would cost close to $400 to replace them. My airbag sensor light had been on most of the time for the last couple of years and the honda dealer told me during this visit that this is also a common problem and if I didn't get it fixed my airbags would not deploy in case of an accident. This problem would require replacement of a wire harness for nearly $1300. I contacted american honda to see if there were recalls for these problems and they agreed to replace the control arms for $75 and the wiring harness for $375 but I only had 60 days to complete the repairs for this price. I got the arms replaced but didn't have the money to get new tires or replace the harness. I have noticed a significant loss of traction and the noise and vibration are so bad now that I can hardly drive the car. These both appear to be engineering issues that affect safety of the honda civic and recalls should be issued to prevent accidents.
