| Description of the problem | I visited my honda dealer (crown honda in pinellas park florida) on april 4th, 2016 in connection with important safety recall service bulletin #16-016 received from the automobile division of american honda motor co., inc. Crown honda's service advisor (james g. Mclaughlin) told me the part(s) necessary to fix my car will not be available until late summer 2016, but that i should not worry because the statistical probability of either myself or a passenger in my vehicle suffering any kind of harm or injury is highly remote. I mentioned that my vehicle is apparently at greater risk of the faulty part(s) failing because it is an older vehicle being operated in a very high humidity/high temperature environment - the tampa bay area of florida. Mr. Mclaughlin was still of the view i should not be too concerned as the whole recall matter had been blown out of proportion by nhtsa. But while driving yesterday i heard some unusually weird noises coming from where my driver and passenger front airbags are located and i was very fearful of an airbag inflator failure because it was a very hot humid day. My dealer has refused to confirm whether my vehicle will be receiving priority because of the high risk environment in which it is operated. Yesterday i called american honda at 1-888-234-2138 and spoke with a customer service rep named emmit located in torrance ca and he too was unable to confirm whether my vehicle was on a priority list given its much higher risk of the part(s) failing. I need help from someone - please help me. Thank you. |
