| Description of the problem | I have a honda cr-v that was issued a safety recall on it's airbags back in early march of 2020. In the recall it was stated that there was no fix for the problem, and they would update me when there was one. I have not had communication with honda since the initial recall letter. In the letter, it was stated that if i had not been updated on the status of the recall after 30 days, i should file a complaint with the nhtsa. After doing some research, it appears that there is still no solution for this particularly dangerous recall, and it has now been several months since the initial recall notice. I'm not in a position to go out and buy a new car, given the crisis the world is currently facing. I still use this car to get to and from work (albeit very cautiously), though, i am not comfortable having any passengers in the vehicle at this time. This seems unreasonable of honda to ask their faithful consumers (this is my second honda) to drive a vehicle with what is essentially a grenade strapped to the steering wheel, with no remedy available within the near future. |
