WE HAD OUR BATTERY REPLACED BY A NATIONAL AUTO CHAIN. WHEN COMPLETE, THE "SRS" WARNING LIGHT ACTIVATED. PURSUANT TO THE OWNERS MANUAL, WE TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER - CASEY, NEWPORT NEWS,VA. THEY INFORMED US IT REQUIRED A NEW CONTROL UNIT, THE COST $565.00. WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER HONDA DEALER - WILLIAMSON, HAMPTON,VA. THEY ALSO INFORMED US IT REQUIRED A NEW CONTROL UNIT FOR $583.00 SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE IT WAS SAID IT WAS DUE TO "LOW VOLTAGE". AM I TO UNDERSTAND THAT EACH TIME A HONDA REQUIRES A BATTERY, IT WILL COST $583.00 + THE COST OF THE BATTERY. I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS.*AK
