WHY HAS HONDA NOT BEEN MADE TO WARRANTY ALL AIRBAGS SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SEATS.

I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT THE WAY HONDA OFFICIALS AND THE HONDA DEALERSHIP HAVE BEEN HANDING MY REQUESTS TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT; HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO SEND THIS COMPLAINT TO YOU I HAD TO ENTER AN ACCIDENT DATE. I HAVE BEEN TRYING SINCE MARCH 2014 TO GET THE DEALER TO REPLACE THE AIR BAGS IN MY 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY. ACCORDING TO A HONDA OFFICIAL AT 1-800-999-1009 AND THE OFFICIAL HONDA WEBSITE, BOTH MY DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE AFFECTED TO BY RECALL NOTICE. HOWEVER, SINCE MARCH I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONTACTS WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND CONTINUE TO GET A RUN AROUND. THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE BAGS UNTIL THEY PROVE, IN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS, TO BE DEFECTIVE. I WILL BE CHARGED $90 FOR EACH TEST THEY FIND NEGATIVE. IT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT ALL AIRBAGS FROM THIS REGION OF THE COUNTRY AND BEARING MY VIN, MAKE AND MODEL WERE TO BE REPLACED FREE OF CHARGE. I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE A PAPER RECALL NOTICE, BECAUSE ACCORDING TO A HONDA OFFICIAL ON 9/15/14, THE DELAY IN MAILING THEM OUT IS DUE TO THE LACK OF SUFFICIENT AVAILABLE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS TO HANDLE THE RECALL NOTICE. I HAVE LEFT SEVERAL VOICE MAIL MESSAGES WITH THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, BUT NO ONE HAS RETURNED ANY OF MY CALLS. JUST WHAT AM I EXPECTED TO DO? HOW LONG MUST I WAIT TO RECEIVE PROPER NOTICE FROM HONDA OFFICIALS? AM I EXPECTED TO PAY FOR ALL OF THE DIAGNOSTIC TESTS?

DURING THE SUMMER OF 2012 I WAS PARKED FACING THE SUN. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE SRS (AIR BAG WARNING) LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AS I DROVE THE 3 MILES TO MY HOME THE LIGHT STAYED ON. WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT TWO TIMES. HONDA SERVICE COULD NOT FIND ANY CODE IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. AGAIN DURING THE SUMMER OF 2014 THE SAME THING HAPPENED ONCE. I THINK THIS SRS LIGHT ILLUMINATION MAY BE AN INDICATION THAT THE AIR BAG IS DEFECTIVE. I LIVE IN AND BOUGHT THE CAR IN VIRGINIA. THE RECENT TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL IS A REGIONAL RECALL AND DOES NOT INCLUDE VIRGINIA. HOWEVER, ONE OF THE FATALITIES CAUSED BY THIS DEFECT OCCURRED IN VIRGINIA IN DECEMBER. SO HOT AND HUMID WEATHER IS NOT THE ONLY CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG DEFECT. I BELIEVE MY HONDA ODYSSEY'S AIR BAGS ARE DEFECTIVE AND SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR

DURING THE SUMMER OF 2012 I WAS PARKED IN A PARKING LOT FACING THE SUN. WHEN I STARTED MY CAR THE SRS (AIR BAG WARNING) LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AS I DROVE THE 3 MILES TO MY HOME THE LIGHT STAYED ON. WITHIN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS THE SAME THING HAPPENED ABOUT TWO TIMES. IT HAS NOT OCCURRED SINCE THEN. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. MY HONDA DEALER MECHANIC CHECKED THE CAR AND INDICATED THAT NO CODES APPEARED IN THE CAR'S COMPUTER SYSTEM TO INDICATE THAT THE SRS LIGHT EVER CAME ON. *TR

THE AIRBAG FAULT LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATING RANDOMLY AT VEHICLE STARTUP FOR ABOUT THE PAST 12 MONTHS. I'M AFRAID THE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND COULD RESULT IN UNWARRANTED AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. *TR

BEGINNING AROUND NOV. 23, 2012, AIR BAG LIGHT ON DASHBOARD STAYED ON AFTER ITS INITIAL TEST (BLINK ON AND THEN OFF) ONCE IGNITION TURNED ON AND ENGINE RUNNING. OVER NEXT APPROXIMATELY 5 MONTHS, LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY COME ON AFTER TEST AND THEN STAY ON WHILE ENGINE RUNNING. SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE MORE WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS WARM RATHER THAN COLD. HOWEVER, WITHIN THE PAST APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH (SINCE MAY 2013), LIGHT HAS BEEN STAYING ON CONSTANTLY AFTER INITIAL TEST AND IGNITION TURNED ON. VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATING NORMALLY OTHERWISE. I'VE CHECKED ALL SEATBELT CONNECTIONS AND FUSES AND NOTHING ABNORMAL FOUND. NO OTHER DASHBOARD LIGHTS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS, NOR HAVE THERE BEEN ANY ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE, SO PROBLEM IS ISOLATED TO AIRBAG SYSTEM. *TR

DROVE THE CAR ABOUT 20 YARDS, THEN PLACED IT IN PARK TO ALLOW THE REAR VAN DOORS TO OPEN FOR OUR CHILDREN. WHEN THE KIDS GOT IN, I PLACED THE SHIFT LEVER IN DRIVE. IMMEDIATELY, BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED VIOLENTLY. I WAS NOT IN MOTION, WAS NOT STRUCK BY ANY OTHER VEHICLE OR OBJECT, AND MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE. AN OFF-DUTY POLICE OFFICER WAS PARKED RIGHT BEHIND ME SAW THIS AND CAME TO HELP. HE NOTED THAT THE AIRBAG FIRING MECHANISMS CONTINUED TO FIRE. "I'VE SEEN A LOT OF WRECKS" HE SAID "BUT I'VE NEVER SEEN THE AIRBAGS CONTINUE TO FIRE. THE HORN CONTINUED TO BEEP. SHE SUSTAINED POWDER BURNS ON BOTH ARMS, AND WAS, OF COURSE SHOCKED BY THE SURPRISE. IT WAS RAINING AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE CAR HAS NOT BEEN DRIVEN FURTHER. I HAD MINOR POWDER BURNS ON MY ARMS, AND OUR EARS WERE RINGING FROM THE LOUD EXPLOSIONS. *TR
