Failure Date: 11/18/2024

Dealer has falsely stated that past airbag recall work was completed. The timeframe they gave of completion is incorrect. We owned the car during the timeframe they said the repairs were done, but they were not done. We had a mechanic from Honda call use around the stated time (years ago, I cant recall specifically, dealer has the info), but the mechanic never came yet marked the work as completed. I asked the dealer and they ran a report and said wok was done. I'm basically driving a ticking time bomb.

The VIN number lists this car as a 2001 Honda Accord coupes. There are 17 open recalls for 2001 Honda Accord 2 dr based on safecar. Gov. There are 4 open recalls for 2001 Honda Accord coupes based on the Honda recall site. For some reason none of these recalls are showing up as applicable to this vehicle based on the VIN number even though it is a 2001 Honda Accord coupe. I believe this is the result of an oversight or an error that can have potentially deadly consequences if it means that vehicles that should be in the recall are not being included.

33 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 11/08/2016

Takata recall. I had the takata air bag recall on my Honda Accord. I called the number that was provided in the letters Honda sent to my house. We had the takata air bag issue fixed on November 7th at the Honda location in new rochelle. After I got my car back from them, the srs light turned on which is related to air bag. I called the number back and they said they cannot do anything. I have to take it on my own and get it fixed but how does that make any sense? I called a few Honda locations and they told me they would charge me for a diagnostic! Honda puts in defective air bags and then they supposedly fix it and after that I get a light for air bags and I'm told I have to fix it on my own? extremely disappointed with Honda and their service. This is beyond frustrating.
