My mechanic said that behind the brakes, there is a hose that needs to be purged, but every time they try to do that, it does not work. There is no flexibility on the hose. We've attempted fixing this several times and it works for a day and then the next day it does…

    Srs light came on in july 2010, i took it in to my local mechanic to take a look. The computer code said it was a faulty seatbelt buckle assembly so they ordered the part and replaced it. A few weeks later the srs light came back on. I took it back to my mechanic and they said it was likely the whole srs unit that is bad because they could not get the computer code to clear.

    The srs light on my dashboard of honda civic 2001 stays on. Upon working with an authorized dealer, the diagnosis of this error is "left front seatbelt buckle switch failure" (code 09-3). I was verbally told that this means in event of a crash the airbags would not deploy. I cursory search of internet forums suggests my case is not an isolated incident. When i requested the dealership and subsequently honda motor co…

I took the car in for the air bag recall and now they are saying the srs light is on because of a defect in the seat belt buckle ($200)- but why would that make my horn stop working? There are a lot of complaints and this needs…
