    I have a 2007 honda civic ex with 43k miles on it. Recently my srs light came on. I went to the dealership i purchased the new car from and they diagnosed it and said i needed to replace my passenger side airbag. I find this absurd since the car is 3 years old and to top it off, i missed the warranty by 6k miles. I had the repair done because i failed my safety inspection and the cost was $595, not including the $89…

    The dash airbag inop red light went on and off then it just remained on. On occasion it would go on and off. The dealer diagnosed the left curtain airbag sensor was defective. I have the extended mechanical insurance and filed a claim. I returned to the dealer for repairs and it was a loose wire and some kind of clip installed to fix problem on 9-16-10. *tr
