2005 Honda Odyssey Air Bags

THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN INCIDENT. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING THE SAFETY FEATURE OF THE AIRBAGS. THE SRS LIGHT REMAINS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASHBOARD. I NOTICED A RECALL ON OTHER 2005 ODYSSEYS AND WANTED TO SEE IF OTHER 2005 ODYSSEY OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I TAKE SERIOUSLY AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE FIXED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *TR

I NOTICED THAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AND STAYS ON WHEN I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I TOOK IT IN TO GET THE EMISSIONS CHECKED AND THE MECHANIC SUGGESTED I LOOK INTO RECALLS. FOUND ONE RELATED TO THIS, SO I CALLED HONDA TO DISCUSS. HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REACH THEM YET. *TR

THE AIR BAG MALFUNCTION LIGHT COMES ON SPORADICALLY. DID NOT RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE BUT I SEE OTHER '05 ODY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
