THE HONDA THE INFLATOR IN THE AIRBAGS HAD BEEN RECALLED. MY FIRST ATTEMPT TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE RECALL ON 6/2/2014 AND WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. THIS HONDA IS NOT NEAR TO MY HOME AND I ONLY WENT THERE BECAUSE THEY WOULD TAKE CARE OF THE CAR THE SAME DAY. I THEN CALLED THE 800 NUMBER TO ENSURE THAT I COULD BE SEEN AT THE YONKERS HONDA AND THAT THE CAR COULD BE DONE THE SAME DAY SINCE THIS SITE HAD TOLD ME THAT OTHERS WOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF FIRST REGARDLESS WEATHER I GOT THERE FIRST OR NOT. I GOT AN APPOINTMENT FROM THE 800 NUMBER THIS MONDAY JUNE 9, 2014 AND AFTER AN HOUR OF WAITING I WAS TOLD THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PART. I ONCE AGAIN CONTACTED THE 800 NUMBER ANGRY THAT I HAD TO WAIT AN ENTIRE WEEK THE PERSON AT THE 800 NUMBER SAID SORRY MISCOMMUNICATION. AT THIS TIME THE AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ON AND THE HONDA IN YONKERS TOLD ME NO NOT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RECALL. MY CAR WAS JUST INSPECTED AND THE LIGHT CAME ON A FEW DAYS LATER. MY CAR HAS NEVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND HAS 38,000 MILES. I'M ITS ORIGINAL OWNER. THERE ARE NO OTHER PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR. I BELIEVE HONDA IS TAKING A SHORT CUTS KNOWING THAT THE AIR BAGS MAY HAVE TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THE HONDA DEALER SAID THAT THEY DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THE LIGHT I'M REALLY DISTRESSED THAT THE AIRBAGS ARE REALLY DEFECTIVE ALTOGETHER AND EVEN IF THE INFLATOR IS REPLACED THAT THE AIRBAGS WILL IN SOME WAY CAUSE INJURY TO ME OR SOMEONE IN MY FAMILY. I SPOKE THE HONDA 800 REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS HIGHLY DISMISSED LIKE JUST THE INFLATOR . COULD YOU PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS. I BELIEVE HONDA IS DECEPTIVE IN ORDER TO SAVE MONEY AND I NOW A HAD A REALLY HARD TIME GETTING AN APPT. I HAVE TO RETURN HONDA'S CALL BECAUSE THEY SUPPOSEDLY MAY HAVE GOTTEN THE PART, WHAT ABOUT THE LIGHTS. I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY EXTRA AS A CONSUMER ON AIRBAGS THAT HAVE HAD A RECALL FOR SOME DEFECTIVE PART. *TR

SRS LIGHT ON MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC IS ON AND THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO THE DEALER IS A CODE 15-3 FOR OPDS UNIT FAILURE. WITH THIS LIGHT ON THE AIR BAGS IN MY CAR WILL NOT FUNCTION IN A CRASH. HONDA HAD EXTENDED THE COVERAGE FOR THIS REPAIR FOR 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT I MISSED THE CUT OFF FOR A COVERED REPAIR BY 11 MONTHS. THE CAR CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 85,000 MILES ON IT. THE DEALERSHIP, VALLEY HONDA OF MONROVILLE PA, WANTS TO CHARGE 325 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIR THAT I FEEL SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE CAR COMPANY BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS IN THEIR EQUIPMENT. *KB
