Passenger side airbag deployed while I was driving. I was driving about 55-60 on a paved highway. The estimate for repairs is over 3000. Honda took all the info and was supposedly going to get back to me. Many unreturned phone calls later, I have nothing to show for this except a recall notice covering other airbags. Of course at this point, none of my airbags are functioning; thus there is no point in complying with the recall notice. The date below is approximate. The Honda dealer looked at the problem and gave me an estimate on 5-31-16. The mileage on the next page is also approximate. My contact # at Honda is 310-781-5259. Rio graciously gave me his direct line, then did not return any calls.

They replied affirmative, so an appointment with the service center was scheduled for 6 February.

They were only able to replace the drivers airbag - turns out that the passenger components were not in stock. I was assured that Honda of bowie would call when they arrived. The service manager informed me that parts were on back order and expected shortly. Beginning in March I have made at least four telephone calls to the parts department asking about the back order and always receive the same response - should be here shortly.
