1 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2008 Acura RDX

Failure Date: 07/27/2018

Takata recall my 2008 Acura Rdx was a part of the takata air bag inflator recall and was apparently repaired on January 20th of 2017. However, the srs light came on in my 2008 Acura Rdx on 7/27/2018 when my vehicle was stationary as I started the vehicle. I took my vehicle to the Acura dealership in wexford, PA on 8/4/18, and they informed me that my passenger side airbag inflator was open causing the srs system to default (code #32-21). Meaning that my airbag safety system will not function properly, due to the faulty airbag inflator. This is a major safety concern, and I would like this to be resolved by a follow up recall for the passenger side air bag inflators for all cars affected by the takata airbag inflator recall. To my understanding, when my drivers side airbag inflator was replaced/repaired back in 2017, they replaced the passenger side airbag inflator as well. So I would just like to make sure that I can get this faulty system replaced through a recall of both airbag inflators for the 2008 Acura Rdx (both meaning: driver's and passenger's side air bag inflators). Please see attached invoice. Thank you for your time.

13 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem of the 2014 Acura RDX

Failure Date: 02/12/2016

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?.
