1 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2024

Airbag light has been lit for a while now for my 2004 Acura Mdx. I originally took the car to courtesy Acura for them to check what causing it. They told me that the sensor should be replaced and I paid $260+. After replacing sensor, the airbag light still lit. They told me that they need to replace the front seatbelt buckles. One buckle (part 04813-s3v-a62zc) arrived but the other one has been backordered for a while now (almost a year) and there's no eta from american Honda on when the part (part 04816-s3v-a61zc) will be available. This is a safety issue since the airbag will not deploy in case of accident. Hope you guys can help me expedite the process and escalate the issue with american Honda. Thank you soo much!.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2016

I was traveling on a city street when another driver traveling full speed failed to yield as he was entering the city street at a high speed and harshly impacted my car in the front driver's side and then a second impact to my rear driver side. My seatbelt failed to restrain me to the seat and as a result I was brutally banged around the interior of my vehicle. Even though the physical damage to my car didn't look to be too bad, I sustained 7 herniated / bulging disc in my back and neck in which many are pressing my spine. None of my airbags deployed as well. Not even the side curtain airbag on the impacted driver's side. Had the airbags deployed and my seatbelt restrained me properly, I would not have sustained the serious injuries I did.
