    This is the third time the srs light has come on. The first time i had to pay to get it fixed and was told nothing was wrong and the unit was reset. The second time the reset it when i took the car in for brakes. After 4 months the light is back on. This originally occured 3 months out of warrenty and lynwood honda would not do anything for me. I feel this is a defect in the car system. *ak
