Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2007 Honda Accord

I have taken my car for the airbag recalls in the past. A few weeks ago, after taking the car to a car wash, the airbag icon came on my dash. I had it put on a diagnostic machine and it showed air bag:frontal:driver side:inflator module. The local Honda dealership will not fix it unless I pay out of my pocket. I don't feel like I should have to pay for a repair and I'm concerned that the airbag won't deploy in an accident.

Received attached notice that my car has one or more takata inflators that could create a risk of injury. My wife and I still own this 2007 Accord and it has not been recalled.

Takata inflators. Received April 2019 nhsta recall 19v-182 in mail. Next day called gunn Honda where vehicle purchased & requested appointment to address recall. Provided VIN, dealer rep found car and my name in their system. Rep told me all recall appts had to be made by service advisor & someone would call me by next day. No call received so I called again the next day. I explained this car would be driven by my son when he returned from college & so needed to have this safety issue addressed before he drove car. Rep again told me only service advisor could make a recall work appt & that she would mark my call a priority & I would hear back later that day. Few days later, still no call. Called third time, again told a service advisor would call me with appt for recall work. Four weeks later, gunn Honda dealership service advisor has still not called. Clearly, this dealership has no concern for their customers' safety & the need for action on a nhsta mandated recall. Today, I filed an online report with american Honda to report the dealership's refusal to schedule recall work. The gunn Honda dealership has a blatant disregard for the safety of the vehicle they sold to me. Clearly, deaths and injuries have occurred because of these malfunctioining inflators yet they will not address the (second) recall. What is the point of issuing a recall when the car owner is unable to obtain the repair at the dealership where they purchased the vehicle? yesterday, I drove the vehicle to a Honda dealership located at a further distance from my home and this dealership (hill country Honda) addressed the recall work. Please note my attempts to obtain an appt & waiting to get a response from gunn Honda occurred over an abt 6 week period that began with my receipt of the 19v-182 recall notice in April.

Takata inflators I am worried about driving my Honda Accord because I think the air bags should be replaced, my car is not currently on the recall list.

Takata inflators. My vehicle appears on lists of affected vehicles and new jersey has now become a zone 2 state, yet my vehicle has not been recalled to replace the inflators and I have not received any explanation as to why. I called Honda and NHTSA and have been told only that my VIN is not on the recall list - I know that - that is the very reason for my concern. I do not trust that only the recalled vins are at risk. It is unacceptable that specific information about my vehicle and its airbags is not being provided. Even the high-level general criteria provided by NHTSA and Honda changes frequently, and recalls keep expanding after the facts of new deaths and injuries. Also, the notion of waiting for takata analyses, previously falsified is not reasonable at all, let alone until Dec 2019. Nhtsa needs to see to it that all of the listed / affected vehicles be recalled for replacement of airbags/inflators now or that loaner cars be provided now. Also, NHTSA needs to see to it that we are given specific information on the particular airbags in our cars along with detailed information on why each has not yet been recalled.

Takata recall. Our Honda Accord 2007 airbag inflator under recall was replaced in 2014 at delray Honda, boca raton, FL. In today's nytimes, may 4, 2016, a news article states that the problem now found is that ammonium nitrate in the takata inflator is now the most critically unsafe problem in the airbag. In a conversation today with a Honda representative named sheryl, she stated she knew nothing about the ammonium nitrate problem, and that our inflator had been repaired in 2014. I requested that sheryl give me the phone number of a supervisor who might know more about the ammonium nitrate problems & repair solutions. She stated she couldn't give out any number, or connect me, but she could send a request to a supervisor laura, and added that laura would not be able to give me any explanation or information different that sheryl's. There are six family members, the youngest an 8 year old who sometimes ride in the passenger seat of our 2007 Honda Accord, and wish to receive answers to what Honda plans to do to remove the inflator with ammonium nitrate in our Honda, and what will be the chemical compound that will be used instead of ammonium nitrate. We wish to be safe and sound in a car, not anxious that there could be a problem causing serious injuries, or god forbid, death to anyone. If I don't hear from a Honda supervisor what solutions will Honda has to replace the ammonium nitrate, or install an safe airbag in our care with a safe inflator & chemical solution, I will let you know.

Received recall notice for driver and passender air bag inflators, campaign #jq9 / service bulletin #15-040 from american Honda motor CO. I called to explain that the nearest dealer was over 2 hours away and the burden was excessive to have the recall fulfilled by a dealer. I requested that I be authorized to have a local repair facility correct the deficiencies. The representative was unwilling to provide meaningful assistance to fulfill my request. She only stated that if I didn't use a Honda dealer I could pay out of pocket.

In March 2015, I received a safety recall notice from Honda (NHTSA recall 14v-351) advising me to have the driver side air bag inflator replaced at my local Honda dealer at no cost. I immediately called Honda of downtown los angeles to schedule a replacement of my vehicle's inflator. I was told by their service center that they would order the part and I would be contacted when it arrived. I called back two weeks later as I had not received a call and they said they were still waiting on the recalled part to arrive and assured me I would get a call. A month later I had still not heard anything, so I called again and was again told that I would be called when the part arrived. Not until July 2015 did I get two new safety recall notices from Honda (NHTSA recall 15v-320 & 15v370). One recall was for the same driver side inflator in addition to the passenger side air bag inflator. I called diamond Honda of glendale to schedule service, and while the required parts needed to be ordered, a service appointment was made for one week later. In short, I received a recall notice from Honda in March 2015 and it took me contacting two different service centers multiple times over a four month period to have the recall appointment scheduled.

I received a letter from Honda automobile division on September 2014 regarding the Honda Accord recall for the driver front airbag inflator. (NHTSA recall 14v-351) because of this I contacted the Honda dealer bella International in san juan pr on October 22, 2014. I was told that the part will arrive within a month and a half and that I would be receiving a call to make the appointment for the repair. That never happened. I called three months and a week later on January 28, 2015 and they told me that the they were unsure if the part was available under their inventory at the ponce dealer. I was told that it was Honda automobile division fault and that I need to wait again for an unknown period of time. I ask if I could call the ponce dealer and they gave me the name of a person that apparently handles their part inventory. That was it. In addition they did not offer any appointment at other dealer or to change the part to fix the problem. Again I was told that I would be contacted later to make the appointment nothing more. Because of this I decided to make a complaint because I do not want to suffer any injuries while I wait because of their lack of responsibility and incompetence by their part.

My new car was totaled in a car accident rear ended and smashed into a car in front, air bags didn't deploy 2 setting a low and high.
