Takata airbag replacement. Notice received 7/2/16; Honda dealer will not make appointment and says to call back in 60-90 days to find out if they even have the part. This also happened with the driver's side airbag recall.

The red air-bag indicator began glowing steady red on March 22, 2016. On March 28, I took the vehicle to local Honda dealer to check on the problem. Their diagnostic test that indicates "internal failure of SRS unit". this part apparently tells the airbag system whether or not someone is sitting in either / both of the front. The dealer's technician said that the bag 'may or may not deploy in an accident' and it is 'not likely' that the airbag will deploy while I am driving down the road. Apparently, Honda does not consider this sensor an integral part of the safety system. I can have a new unit installed for $574.95. I was also required to pay for the diagnostic, $112.30, since this is a part the manufacturer does not cover. I feel that as this sensor is a part that the consumer does not maintain and is an integral part of the safety system, as it connects directly to the airbag deployment. I believe that Honda should pay for this repair to the safety system as well as reimburse me for the diagnostic test. Both the driver and the passenger airbags may be affected in the event of an accident. Therefore, I wish to file a safety complaint against Honda, lejeune Honda cars in jacksonville, nc for failure to maintain the vehicle's safety system.

I have had previous issues with the SRS system where the passenger side seat belt buckle had to be replaced, I recently had the drivers side airbag replaced due to recall. Now the SRS light is on again and Honda refuses to repair or diagnose without me paying $80 to diagnose. I've also had issues with the drivers side headlights burning out at least 6 times a year to which Honda could never find a problem.

After finding out via the owner's site that my airbag had been recalled I made an appointment with my local Honda dealer to have my airbag replaced. I was told the parts were not in stock and I would receive a call to update me about availability before my appointment. I had to call back for the update and was told that they did not receive the parts. Nearly a month later I called back to check on the status of the parts and was told that they had no estimate of when they would arrive. When I expressed concern at the delay I was told that I shouldn't complain about waiting a month - there were customers who had been waiting more than three months. The recall date is almost a year old and I have still not received a recall notification. It has now been nearly two months that I have been waiting to have my airbag replaced after finding out about the recall. I tried to contact the Honda company but they have limited call center hours.

Complaint is that owner of vehicle (the original buyer) has still not received a recall notice for the on-going problematic takata airbags. The recall notice has now been expanded to all 2006 Honda CRV's, not just location specific vehicles. I have contacted Honda customer service but have still not received an official recall for airbags. Alarming and frustrating, considering people have been maimed, paralyzed, and killed by these very Honda-installed takata airbags. They say they are being "pro-active" which is at best a joke. They need to take responsibility for their defective airbags and replace them in all Honda vehicles with takata airbags. Honda and takata both suck for not doing the right thing!

I received from Honda a safety recall notice to have my front airbag inflator replaced at no charge. I took it to auto nation Honda miami lakes 5925 nw 167 St miami, fl 33015. My car was there for 6 hours, when I picked it up they told me that they weren't authorized to perform the recall because they didn't have the original part. I'm sending this information to let you know in case something happens. I can't waste my time missing work to have this fixed when the dealer doesn't even have the original part. I'm pretty sure that if I had to buy this piece then the dealer would have it, but because it's free they don't care.
