I OWN A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THIS CAR IS EQUIPTED WITH A COMPLEX WEIGHT SENSOR SYSTEM WHICH ARMS/DISARMS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS. WHEN THE CAR LEFT THE FACTORY THE SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE. AFTER ONE ROUND OF RECALL WORK, THE SYSTEM WAS STILL DEFFECTIVE. I DO NOT BELEIVE THE COMPANY HAS ANY CLEAR IDEA HOW TO MAKE THIS COMPLEX SYSTEM FUNCTION IN A RELIABLE MANNER. I WANT THEM TO FIX THE SYSTEM SO THAT THE AIR BAGS ARE ARMED ALL THE TIME. HONDA REFUSES TO ALLOW THIS TO BE DONE. MY PASSENGER'S SAFETY IS BEING COMPROMISED BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO TURN ON THE ARIR BAGS ALL THE TIME.
