Hello I am writing about my honda accord LX, 2000, 4 cylinders. Without any reason (while driving the car), the SRS light went on. When I checked with the honda dealer from where I purchased the car, they mentioned that the computer that controls the airbags is not working anymore. The cost to fix/replace the computer is $960.00. I research on the internet and there are many honda accord with the same problem. This is a very important safety module that should be fixed by honda and not by the consumer. Thank you.
