SRS LIGHT HAS COME ON 3 TIMES. THE FIRST TWO VISITS PETERSEN MOTORS RESET THE SYSTEM, FOUND NOTHING. THE FIRST TIME PETERSEN MOTORS SUGGESTED IT WAS CAUSED BY LOW BATTERY VOLTAGE. NONSENSE, THEY DIDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM AND THE BATTERY IS NEW. THEY CLEARED THE CODE AND CHARGED $72. AFTER THE 2ND VISIT, I WAS TOLD IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG. AFTER THE 2ND VISIT THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WITHIN 2 WEEKS. AFTER 3RD INCIDENT, PETERSEN MOTORS STATED OVER THE PHONE IT IS THE CONTROL UNIT WHICH WOULD COST ABOUT $460 TO REPLACE. ON EACH OF THE 3 OCCASIONS, I STOPPED THE CAR BRIEFLY. WHEN I RESTARTED MY CAR, THE SRS LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYED ON. AT THIS TIME I HAVEN'T HAD THIS PROBLEM FIXED. 2 OF 4 ORIGINAL FIRESTONE TIRES FAILED. THE 1ST FAILURE OCCURRED AS I DROVE THE CAR OFF THE LOT - IT HAD A RADIAL PULL, CAUSING THE CAR TO TURN UPON ACCELERATION. THE 2ND FIRESTONE TIRE FAILURE OCCURRED AT ABOUT 26,000 MILES. AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL HOURS AT 75 MPH ON A 95 DEGREE DAY, THERE WAS A BULGE IN THE SIDEWALL. AT THAT TIME I REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES WITH A DIFFERENT BRAND. NLM

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998 Acura 2.2CL, 1998-1999 Acura 2.3CL, 1998-1999 Acura 3.0CL, 2001 Acura 3.2CL and Acura MDX, 1998-2000 Honda Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Sedan, Odyssey and Acura 3.5RL, 1999-2000 Acura 3.2TL, 1996-2000 Civic Coupe, 1997-2000 CR-V, 1997-1998 EV Plus, and 1998-1999 Isuzu Oasis vehicles. These vehicles were equipped with Non-Azide Driver air bag Inflators (NADI) and do not contain phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant. Due to a manufacturing issue, the NADI inflators may absorb moisture, causing the inflators to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the driver frontal air bag inflator, and replace it if necessary, with an inflator of a different design, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138 or Isuzu customer service at 1-800-255-6727.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG MODULES HAVE BEEN IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED. THE CLOTH FLAPS COVERING THE FOLDED AIR BAG MAY HAVE BEEN TUCKED IN TOO FAR.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THIS CONDITION COULD PREVENT PROPER DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG. IN A CRASH, AN IMPROPER AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO A FRONT SEAT PASSENGER.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE FRONT PASSENGER'S AIR BAG MODULE TO PREVENT THIS PROBLEM FROM OCCURRING.
