2009 Honda Fit Air Bags

I RECEIVED A NOTICE REGARDING THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. THE LETTER STATED THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE RECALL IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. IT HAS BEEN 9 MONTHS, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY IN A TIMELY MANNER.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AS SOON AS LETTER FROM MANUFACTURER RECEIVED WITH TONY HONDA AUTOPLEX. WAS TOLD REPAIR PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND WOULD BE IN BY SUMMER 2016.

TAKATA RECALL. NOTICE OF RECALL WAS SENT TO ME IN MARCH, 2016. THE LETTER INDICATED PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. IN EARLY AUGUST, WHEN I CONTACTED MY HONDA DEALER (SHOFIELD HOMDA, WICHITA KS), I WAS TOLD THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED AND WOULD ARRIVE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT HAS NOW BEEN 7 WEEKS AND I'VE HEARD NOTHING.

WE PLACED AN ORDER TO FIX THE "PASSENGER" AIRBAG, AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER FROM HONDA. THIS HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS AGO. WE ASKED FOR A RENTAL, AS WE WERE GIVEN ONE FOR OUR "DRIVER" AIRBAG. THEY REFUSED, SAYING THE PASSENGER MUST SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAVE ARTHRITIS, AND BAD BACK, AND TO GET INTO THE BACK SEAT IS HARD. WE HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND THE HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. AND NO LUCK THERE. THE PART ISN'T IN YET. THEY SAY THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. OUR CASE # 04972087. MY THINKING IS THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR A RENTAL, AS IF NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, IT WON'T DEPLOY. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE INCONVENIENCED BY THEIR FAULTY AIRBAGS. IF I SELL THIS CAR, I WONT' GET AS MUCH OUT OF IT BECAUSE OF THE UNREPAIRED AIRBAG. SO, IF YOU WOULD, COULD YOU PLEASE HELP US? SINCERELY *TR
