2013 HONDA RIDGELINE Air Bags Problems

1 air bag 2

I took this vehicle to the local Honda dealership in Sioux Falls Sd in 2015 or 2016 and waited (approximately 4 + hours) while they stated they repaired the faulty airbags according to the recall - but since that time I keep receiving these notices so now I don’t know if the Honda dealership didn’t actually repair the passenger airbag or didn’t file the repair

I WAS STOPPED IN A LEFT TURN LANE BEHIND ANOTHER CAR. A THIRD CAR CAME FROM BEHIND AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH AND HIT MY CAR FROM BEHIND, PUSHING IT VIOLENTLY INTO THE CAR AHEAD OF ME. MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT ACTIVATE ON IMPACT. I SUFFERED FACIAL AND ARM INJURIES FROM STRIKING THE STEERING WHEEL. I WAS WEARING SEAT BELT AND SHOULDER RESTRAINT. MY CAR WAS SUBJECT TO PRIOR TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL AND AIRBAG WAS REPLACED BY DEALER.

TAKATA RECALL. I WENT TO CAMBRIDGE HONDA IN MASSACHUSETTS ON 22 JULY 2016 TO HAVE A DUPLICATE KEY MADE FOR MY 2013 HONDA RIDGELINE AT WHICH TIME I WAS INFORMED OF THIS RECALL. I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THE PARTS COME IN FOR INSTALLATION. IT'S BEEN 2 MONTHS AND I'VE HEARD NOTHING, WHEN I CALL THEM THEY SAY THEY ARE NOT IN YET AND I WILL BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY COME IN. IN THE MEANTIME I'M RIDING AROUND IN THIS DEATH TRAP.

HONDA NOTIFIED ME IN FEBRUARY 2016 OF THIS AIRBAG RECALL AND OF THIS DATE MY DEALERSHIP (HOLLER HONDA ORLANDO) SAYS THEY HAVE STILL NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG FOR MY TRUCK.

NHTSA RECALL 16V-061. HONDA DEALERS IN HOLLYWOOD, FLORIDA WILL NOT RESPOND TO CALLS TO REPAIR / SERVICE THE RECALL. WILL NOT MAKE APPOINTMENTS, USUALLY REFER YOU SOMEONE ELSE THAT USUALLY WON'T ANSWER THE PHONE OR DOES NOT CALL YOU BACK. HOLLYWOOD HONDA AND RICK CASE HONDA.

NEVER RECEIVED AN AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE. FOUND OUT WHEN I TRIED TO SELL THE VEHICLE. NOW I CANNOT SELL IT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD PART(S) ARE ON BACK ORDER. THEY GAVE ME A RENTAL CAR. IT HAS ALREADY BEEN ONE MONTH AND IT IS EXPECTED TO BE AT LEAST A YEAR BEFORE IT IS FIXED. I NEED TO SELL MY VEHICLE NOW. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVE A LOT FULL OF VEHICLES WAITING TO BE REPAIRED WITH AIRBAGS SO THEY CANNOT BUY BACK MY VEHICLE, YET THEY ARE ALLOWED TO TAKE IT ON A TRADE...THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I NEED TO SELL MY VEHICLE. HELP!

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED MY NEW RIDGELINE, MOHAWK HONDA 175 FREEMANS BRIDGE RD. SCOTIA, NY REGARDING MY RECALL. THEY WANT ME TO SURRENDER MY TRUCK AND USE A SEDAN LOANER UNTIL THEY CAN MAKE REPAIRS. I HAVE EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I USE MY TRUCK TO MAKE MONEY WITH AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT A TRUCK. I HAVE BILLS TO PAY. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THEM IN GOOD FAITH AND FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD FIND A WAY TO PROVIDE ME WITH A TRUCK UNTIL THEY CAN FIX MINE. I ALSO HAVE MADE PLANS TO TOW A CAMPER TO OUR VACATION THIS SUMMER BUT I AM SURE THEY WON'T CARE ABOUT THAT EITHER. CAN YOU HELP ME?
