2004 Honda Pilot Air Bags

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ACTIVATED. I TOOK MY 2004 HONDA PILOT WITH CALIFORNIA LICENSE PLATE NUMBER [XXX] TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP IN HEMET CALIFORNIA ON DECEMBER 14 2022 TO CHECK THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A $100.00 DIAGNOSTIC FEE BECAUSE THE REPAIR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE AIRBAG RECALL PROGRAM. MY VEHICLE IS 20 YEARS OLD AND I'M WORRIED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG IS UNSAFE AND COULD BE ACCIDENTLY ACTIVATED AND CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH. MY VEHICLE HAS OVER 300,000 MILES. AS OF TODAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2023, THE AIR BAG WARNING LAMP IS STILL ON. IS THE ACTIVATED AIR BAG WARNING LAMP COVERED UNDER THE AIR BAG RECALL PROGRAM? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. THE HONDA DEALERSHIP CHARGES $100.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE CAUSE. I WAS TOLD IT'S NOT PART OF THE AIRBAG RECALL AND I WILL HAVE TO PAY. MY VEHICLE IS 20 YEARS OLD. I BELEIVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH AIRBAGS SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. IN THE CASE OF AN AIRBAG ACTIVATION AND I AM INJURIED OR KILLED FROM A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. I HAVE PROOF THAT THE HONDA DEALERSHIP WAS ADVISED ON DECEMBER 14, 2022. THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR SIX (6) MONTHS AND CANNOT GET IT CORRECTED.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE VEHICLE IN OPERATION. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, 65 MPH, NO IMPACT, NOTHING HIT OUR CAR, NO REASON. I WAS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG BLEW, SOME BURNING AND BRUISING TO MY ARM, EAR IS RINGING. NO REASON FOR THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY! VERY DANGEROUS. CALLED HONDA, CAR [XXX]. WE'VE HAD OUR FRONT AIRBAGS RECALLED. DO THE SIDES HAVE PROBLEMS TOO? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LATE IN 2015 I RECEIVED A MAILING FROM WILDE HONDA, WAUKESHA, WI AN "URGENT/RECALL NOTICE" CONCERNING MY 2004 HONDA PILOT REGARDING A POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I CONTACTED THE DEALER LISTED AND SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT. I DROPPED MY CAR OFF ON 12/28/15 TO HAVE THIS REPAIR PERFORMED. . THE REASON FOR THE APPOINTMENT WAS THIS AIRBAG SERVICE. . . I ON THE RECEIPT PROVIDED IT SHOWS THAT THEY HAD PERFORMED THE AIR BAG INFLATOR SERVICE. IN EARLY FEBRUARY OF 2016 I RECEIVED ANOTHER MAILING INFORMING ME TO HAVE THIS AIRBAG SERVICE PERFORMED. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THE ORIGINAL SERVICE ADVISOR SAID THAT THE REPAIR ON THE AIR BAG RECALL HAD NOT BEEN PERFORMED AT THE EARLIER SERVICE APPOINTMENT. HE DID NOT KNOW WHY, AND ADMITTED IT WAS A MISTAKE. I EVENTUALLY TALKED TO THE SERVICE MANAGER. HE OFFERED TO REPAIR THE CAR IF IT WAS BROUGHT BACK. MY CONCERNS IN THIS CASE , IT MIGHT BE A COMMON ONE WITH THIS DEANSHIP. THEY NEVER CONTACTED ME REGARDING THIS ISSUE. I CONTACTED THEM IN FEB 16 TO FOLLOW UP ON ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE. TWO MONTHS AFTER THE SUPPOSED AIRBAG REPAIR.THEY HAVE MY CELL NUMBER AND MAILING ADDRESS AND CANNOT PROVIDE ANY PROOF THEY EVER TRIED TO CONTACT ME. I HAVE A PHONE LOG AND SHOW NO INCOMING CALLS FROM THEM IT SEEMS THAT THEY WERE ONLY CONCERNED WITH THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE WHEN HONDA WOULD NOT REIMBURSE THEM FOR THIS WARRANTY REPAIR BECAUSE THEY USED THE INCORRECT PART TO MAKE THE REPAIR! THE DEALERS ACTIONS HAVE PLACED THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY RISK. THEIR ONLY OFFER TO FIX THIS AIR BAG SERVICE MISTAKE IS TO BRING THE CAR BACK FOR SERVICE. IF THIS WAS NOT A RECALL ITEM THAT WAS INVOLVED, I DOUBT I WOULD HAVE HEARD BACK FROM THEM. I WOULD BE DRIVING AN POTENTIALLY UNSAFE CAR, THINKING THE ISSUE HAD BEEN ADDRESSED. THIS DEALERSHIP MISREPRESENTS THE TRUTH, IS SLOPPY IN RECORD KEEPING, AND USES INCORRECT PARTS FOR A RECALL SERVICE.
