| Description of the problem | Takata recall. On april 29, 2016, i brought this car to my local honda dealer. I was informed that because of the takata airbag recall, that this car was dangerous and i should not drive the car. However, they provided me with a loaner car, under the program approved by honda motors, at no cost to me. Therefore i did not drive the car until the driver side airbag was repaired. This was done on august 12, 2016. At that time i was told that i would no longer qualify for a loaner even though they had not repaired the passenger-side airbag because of a lack of parts. I was told that the car was still dangerous, however, in that there should be no passenger in the passenger seat. I discussed this with the service manager, and he and i both agreed that this was not an entirely satisfactory solution. Besides the inconvenience of not having a usable passenger seat, if the passenger-side airbag did deploy, it would seem possible that metal parts could scatter throughout the passenger compartment. Thus, it wouldn't matter whether there was anyone in the passenger seat. People could still be injured, even in the rear seats. Honda apparently will not pay for a loaner car, since the car is now "drivable". Until the passenger airbag can be repaired, it would seem to me that this is a dangerous situation. This could be easily remedied by extending the loaner car period until the passenger side airbags can be repaired. |
