| Seat Belt problems |
I have a 2011 Acura Mdx and just recently my airbag srs light has came on when I turned my vehicle on. I was told by the Acura dealership that this was due to a malfunctioning airbag sensor. Due to this malfunction none of my airbags will deploy if I were to get into an accident. Which I think is absolutely insane. When I took it to the dealer they stated it would cost over $1500 to fix it. As a single mother I am not able to afford to have this issue fixed. I called Acura and the lady I spoke too was very rude and said that there was not any recalls regarding this issue and that Acura would not help with the repairs. My car has never been in an accident and I always maintain the oil, tires, maintenance on this car. No one should ever have to worry about getting in the car with their children and feeling unsafe because of malfunction air bag sensor or computer. The Acura dealership should be held responsible for this malfunctioning system.
I was stopped at a stop light when a pick up truck hit my car from behind. I was wearing my seatbelt and my seat was positioned at an appropriate distance from the steering wheel. After my head first hit the headrest from the initial impact, my head flew forward and hit the steering wheel. I had a bump on my forehead and a headache afterward (followed by a black eye the next day). Fortunately, a cat scan confirmed that my injury was not serious. Because I was concerned about whether my seatbelt was working or not, I took my Acura to my local Acura dealer to have the seatbelts checked. They told me that my seatbelts were working as they should. I am still concerned, however, about my seatbelt's reliability in a collision. I can't say whether or not my seatbelt locked at some point during my accident because it happened so quickly and unexpectedly that I, frankly, don't remember. But I do know that it didn't keep me from hitting my steering wheel.
