| Description of the problem | I am the owner of a 2008 honda crv. After a minor accident, i was told by the honda service in december 2009 that i needed to replace airbag sensors and my driver's side seat belt buckle. Subsequently, the driver's side seat belt became stuck 3/4 out and i was told that it needed to be replaced. The dealer then told me that it could not obtain the part from american honda. This fact was confirmed by another dealer. The dealer then stated that the part might be available on january 13, then postponed until january 23 and now postponed until february 3. The driver's side seat belt is a basic part required for the safe operation of the vehicle. The honda crv is one of that company's most popular models. I and i am sure others are left with cars that cannot be safely driven. This is an outrageous situation. |
