An airbag safety recall was issued to me on March 2020. I've contacted autonation, sanford, fl monthly since receiving the recall notice. Their service department has repeatedly delayed repair stating the part was not available. My high school senior has been driving this vehicle for four months with a safety defect. What can you do to resolve this safety issue?

I received a letter in March saying there is an airbag recall and I would be notified when the parts were ready. I have since received estimated three robo-calls saying my vehicle was recalled due to a dangerous airbag issue and to contact a dealer or Honda headquarters. I contacted the dealer who said there is no part yet and not to worry. I am concerned and annoyed about these alarming notifications about an important, maybe critical, yet there is no part. This is much longer than a reasonable amount of time.

Takata recall. I received the first recall in Mar 2016. Dealer keeps saying they have no parts. Now I get the second recall for the pass side airbag. Same thing...no parts. It has been over 60 days since receiving NHTSA recall 16V-061. This is too long on this serious defect which can be life threatening. Help.

The SRS (air bag) light in my 1997 Honda CRV has been on for last 4 years. I have taken it to different dealers during this time. They initially just reset the light. Later they suspected one of the sensors. Even later one of dealer changed the battery. Finally they have declared that the SRS controller unit must be bad and should be changed at the cost of $825. I have contacted America Honda Corp but to no help. From the independent maintenance shop where I took my car I have learned that it is a common problem in CRV. Air bag are essential safety equipment and should carry longer warranty. Honda diagnostic doesn't seem to give definite code also and hence the dealers can't fix it in one shot and have given me so many runs and now will cost me so much. I believe Honda should live up to their responsibility and investigate the SRS problem.

The vehicles air bag light illuminated and stayed on. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who stated that the problem required a costly repair. The consumer contacted the manufacturer who advised the consumer to take the car back to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The vehicle was returned for the test where it was discovered that the repair was not as costly as initially stated and that only a minor adjustment was needed. Shortly after that adjustment the air bag light illuminated again.
