The driver's seat belt has ripped. I contacted Airport Honda where I purchased the vehicle in Spring, 2014. The Service Manger contacted Honda Corporate. They REFUSE to repair the seat belt. Making this a hazard for me to drive the vehicle.

I got this car as a loan from a 3rd party dealer ship and they never told me it had a recall days after the airbag light pops up in the dashboard I took it to get service and they stated that the problem was fixed. The light on the dashboard was gone. A couple days ago the light came back and it makes a weird noise when you turn it on and the car gets humidity so fast the windows fog up and I have to turn the ac on. It doesn-??t feel safe to drive it at times but I have to for work. I just want to make sure it-??s safe to drive from la to sylmar I-??m afraid if it gets to hot or humid that the airbag will go off, and I-??m paying way more than I expected each month for the car and it doesn-??t feel safe.

Driving in the city when the 3 vehicle collision happened going 25-30mph. The first car stopped suddenly to let pedestrians cross the street. Then the second car followed and I did not catch the stop in time. Front air bags did not deploy when my car rear ended the other vehicles. And driver seatbelt did not lock. Injuries of whiplash, concussion and a broken nose resulted from this
