In March, 2016 I received a recall letter about the driver side airbag from Acura. Finally on 8/19/2016 (five months later) I received a call from apple tree Acura to make an appointment to fix the airbag. On 8/23/2016 I dropped my vehicle off at apple tree Acura. When I picked my vehicle up I was told that the airbag was fixed. But, on the invoice it states that "client advised that the vehicle is subject to one or more recalls affecting the drivers and/opr passengers front airbag inflators. Redesigned airbag inflators are not available for installation at this time. Once redesigned parts are available, the registered owner will receive notice to return for replacement of the componet. Open recall. Replaced dr airbag inflator. " please review attached recall letter and invoice. The customer service person never advised me of anything, he gave me the invoice then disappeared. It took five months and about ten phone calls to even get an appointment. Most of my calls went to voicemail with no return calls. On 8/29/2016 I called national highway traffic safety administration (NHTSA), I was put on hold and then disconnected. I had given the person my call back number but it has been five hours and no one has called me back. It seems that Acura and the NHTSA are avoiding questions and concerns about this recall. I would like to know when and if my vehicle will be safe to drive?.
