| Description of the problem | "takata recall" earlier in the spring our honda crv was part of the massive driver side air bag recall. Basically was told that if it deployed, it may kill us with tiny pieces of flying metal. We spent months dealing with honda and rentals through them that we had to argue over and keep exchanging. Hours and hours of work that my husband took off so he could drive halfway across atlanta each time to deal with rentals and honda. Finally got our car back early this summer. Yesterday i got a new recall notice from honda. This time it's for our passenger side airbag. Basically the same thing, if it deploys it may kill you with metal fragments. This time when i called honda to find out the deal i was told, "the part is on backorder. We will order it but we don't know when we will get it. Until we do we suggest that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger seat." seriously, this is what they said. Nope they won't help us with a rental, just don't sit in the front because if you get in a wreck the airbag that is supposed to keep you safe may kill you with flying metal fragments. For our family of 4, this "avoiding the passenger seat" is not an option. With 2 booster seats in the back there isn't space for an adult to sit, so basically they've rendered our main vehicle unusable. But refuse to help us in any way. I've made multiple calls to honda headquarters and have "tickets" in place to request alternate travel assistance (rental) but was told that they are, "pretty backlogged with requests right now so i don't know when they will get back to you." seriously. |
