MY DRIVERS SEAT SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND MY SRS LIGHT IS ON. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THE ONLY THING COVERED IN THE RECALL IS THE IGNITER, WHICH IS IN MY STEERING WHEEL. THEY REPLACED THIS, WHICH WAS DESCRIBED AS THE SRS DRIVER INFLATER AND TOLD ME THAT THE CAR WILL NEED TO UNDERGO A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH WILL COST ME $110 AND THAT I WILL ALSO HAVE TO PAY TO GET MY SEAT FIXED, WHERE THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS WOULDN'T BE COVERED IN THE RECALL WHEN IT'S ALL RELATED. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY WHILE I WAS IN IT, SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED. THE BAG IS JUST HANGING OUT OF MY SEAT AND I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD PAY TO GET THIS FIXED. AN AIRBAG RECALL SHOULD COVER ANYTHING RELATED TO THE AIRBAG SYSTEM. I THOUGHT THE AIRBAG WAS CONTROLLED BY THE IGNITER THAT'S IN THE STEERING WHEEL. I'M NOT SURE WHY THEY WOULD FIX ONE THING AND NOT THE OTHER. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ, THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT! THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING DONE ABOUT THIS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE DAMAGE THAT WAS DONE TO MY SEAT. IT'S RIPPED DOWN THE SIDE AND THE AIRBAG IS HANGING OUT. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 HONDA CIVIC FOR WHICH THERE WAS AN AIRBAG RECALL BUT THE DEALER WON'T FIX THE DEFECT FOR FREE. *TR

I RECEIVED THE HONDA ACCORD RECALL INFORMATION MAILER DURING THE SUMMER 2009 FROM HONDA CORPORATION. I QUICKLY CALLED MY NEIGHBORHOOD HONDA DEALER AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE NECESSARY PARTS AND I WOULD BE CALLED WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE- ABOUT 1 WEEKS TIME. YESTERDAY (FEBRUARY 9TH, 2010) I RECEIVED A CALL FROM HONDA THAT THERE WAS AN EXPANDED RECALL AND ADDITIONAL HONDA VEHICLES WERE RECALLED FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAGS. THIS MESSAGE REMINDED ME THAT I HAD NEVER HEARD BACK FROM SUSSEX HONDA REGARDING THE RECALL FROM THE SUMMER-TIME. I WANTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT THAT THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP HAD FAILED TO ADDRESS THE RECALL IN A TIMELY MANNER. THIS COULD HAVE LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH TO ME, MEMBERS OF MY YOUNG FAMILY AND THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. *TR

2001 HONDA ACCORD WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT AND AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. CONSUMER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE AFTER THE ACCIDENT.

I WENT TO HONDA DEALER IN AUGUST 2010. I ASKED TWICE ABOUT GETTING MY AIRBAG REPAIRED BECAUSE OF THE RECALL. THE ADVISOR SAID IT WAS ALREADY DONE BUT I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL IN MAY SAYING I NEEDED A REPAIR ON THE AIRBAG. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF IT BEING DONE EVER. IF IT WAS DONE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ON MY BILL. *TR

HONDA SENT ME A LETTER ASKING ME TO BRING MY 2001 HONDA CIVIC TO THE HONDA DEALER FOR AIRBAG RECALL. I CALLED THE HONDA DEALER IN SANTA ANA CALIFORNIA TO PLAN TO BRING THE CAR TO THEM ON SATURDAY WHEN I COULD BE OFF FROM THE WORK. THE HONDA DEALER SAID ON SATURDAY THEY ONLY DO "REGULAR SERVICES", NOT RECALL REPAIR. THEN TODAY I TOOK A DAY OFF FROM THE WORK TO GO TO THE HONDA DEALER, BUT THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE PARTS, AND ASKED ME TO WAIT UNTIL NEXT WEEK. IS THIS RECALL UNIMPORTANT? WHY CAN THEY DO REVENUE-SERVICE BUT NOT RECALL-SERVICE ON WEEKEND? WHY DON'T THEY EVEN HAVE PARTS IN STOCK FOR RECALL? ARE HONDA AND HONDA DEALERS HANDLING THE RECALL IN A PROFESSIONAL AND RESPONSIBLE MANNER? *TR
