| Description of the problem | Takata recall i own a 2007 honda crv. I am very concerned that because my vehicle has only been registered in ny state, i am being forced to drive an unsafe vehicle. I have the same takata part (passenger side airbag) as the vehicles located in other states. I have the documentation to prove that. I know that the recall has been expanded, and that i am in zone c. My car dealership has informed me that other vehicles same model same year have had their passenger air bags replaced already. Apparently they are in one of the good zones. Yet i am being told by both the dealer and honda that, even though parts are available, my car is not eligible. Yet cars in states that border mine, including pa and oh are able to get their airbag inflators replaced. I don't believe that the humidity everywhere in pa is higher than everywhere in ny. The humidity in my area this summer has been in the 80's and 90's. I feel that these "zones" are arbitrary, and designed to help honda rather than concerned with the safety issues of the vehicle owners. I want honda to repair my vehicle now, or at least provide me with a safe loaner vehicle. As it stands now, i can't take the chance of allowing anyone to ride in the passenger seat of the vehicle. I was able to get the driver side inflator replaced, but my vin is not under recall. Just because my state is not in the correct zone does not mean my car is safe. I feel like i'm sitting in a ticking time bomb. Please help me to drive safely again. |
