IT IS NOW 4 NOV 2016 AND I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE SECOND LETTER WITH RECALL REPAIR INFO ALL INDICATORS STATE THAT HONDA HAS YET TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. YET I AM SUPPOSED TO AVOID HAVING ANY PASSENGERS IN TEH FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR ALL THIS TIME? THIS IS RENDERING THIS VEHICLE USELESS FOR THE INTENT OF HAVING IT AS A FAMILY CAR. PERIOD! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FROM AN AUTO MANUFACTURER OF ANY KIND, MUCH LESS ONE AS LARGE AS HONDA. I SEE THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY SUSPENSION ON ME PAYING FOR THE VEHICLE BUT WHEN THERE IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, THEN WE ARE TO JUST SIT BACK AND TAKE IT? THIS IS HOW CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS START. I AM EXPECTING THAT SOMEONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THEIR JOB, COME UP WITH A PLAN OF ACTION AND ACTUALLY GET THIS FIXED. THE ISSUE IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!
