Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2003 Honda CR-V

Takata recall - on September 11th 2015, I got the driver's side air bag of my 2003 Honda crv replaced after months of waiting. I have until this day still received notifications from Honda that they still need to replace the drivers side air bag. I called the 1-844-758-9245 number of Honda's to determine what the issue is. They informed me that there is now a passenger side air bag recall and they said this is why I am still receiving the driver's side airbag notice. This sound suspicious to me. Why is Honda telling me their is a passenger side recall now but I have never received notice for this? why can they not report the successful completion of the drivers side replacement? why has this whole process taken years at this point?.

This car, owned by my wife, was brought to a local Honda dealer to have the driver's side airbag replaced. Because of my past experience with some of these places, I do not put a lot of trust in them and know some will say the work was done when in fact it was not. So I placed a tiny piece of masking tape on the inside lip of the steering wheel cover to make sure they would actually remove it. When my wife returned home with the car, the tape was still there. I had attached it loosely and it fell off as soon as I touched it. This should have fallen off with the steering cover removal. Before doing this swap, the battery would also have to be disconnected. I checked the radio and all the channels were still preset, yet the memory should have been wiped when the battery was disconnected. The radio code was written in the owner's manual so they could have reset the channels but that would be unlikely for them to do. I asked my wife which cd was playing when she left the dealership and she said the same one that was playing when I arrived there. After disconnecting the battery and resetting the radio, the cd player will start playback at disc 1, track 1. Now they may have done the work without actually disconnecting the battery but I was not convinced so I removed the steering cover myself. The serial number for the new airbag on my invoice is nowhere to be found on the airbag in the car. It is a takata airbag still, but I understand they are providing the new airbags. I am not about to go back to the dealer to accuse them of not doing the work as I need to be 100% sure of this. I would hate to cause someone's reputation to be damaged by an unsubstantiated claim. Is there anything you can do to help us ensure that this work was done properly? we are afraid to drive the car. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, dirk peeters & annemarie schoennemann.

On 7-29-15 I took my vehicle in for re-call work on dr side and pass side airbags. After the work the srs light came on. On 8-8-15 I took the car back and was told that srs light was code 7-2 and usually caused by jumping veh. After they re-set the srs light, it came back on next day. I returned on 9-24 and was told they can't re-set the srs light and it would cost $750 to fix srs control unit. I was told air-bags will not work. I feel that their working on the car caused the light to come on. .

My effected vehicle was traveling at 30mph when broadsided by a vehicle traveling at 40-45 mph on the driver's side; my vehicle was also shoved out of the driving lane, proceeded to collide head on with a street sign with the front right , and a utility pole with my front left. Neither the front or side airbags deployed. The vehicle was totaled and jaws of life was utilized to extricate me. I suffer a left-sided head injury (large contusion, concussion), shoulder injury (rotator cuff, fractured scapula) and back and neck strains. These injuries were caused by contact with the frame of the vehicle on the left side. Injuries could have been possibly avoided if side air bay deployed and cushioned the impact/protected driver from contact with vehicle frame. Contact with american Honda at the national office regarding this matter was met with total disinterest. One person actually told me I should be glad it did not go off because I could have been hurt worse by the airbag. I was also told that there were two recalls for airbags related to my vehicle - neither of which I was contacted. They claimed they had an incorrect address, but I had been previously notified of non-related recalls with no issue of incorrect address, and there are records of the dealer that has done prior recall work. No excuse.

2003 Honda crv takata airbag recall for Honda. The dealer informed the consumer, only the passenger side air bag was affected by the recall. The driver side air bag was replaced in a previous recall. The consumer was informed, she must wait to be notified by mail from Honda regarding the next step.

I first called coral springs automall, coral springs, FL 33071 about replacing the airbags in my vehicle (due to a recall) on October 22, 2014. I spoke to a woman who did not identify herself, who seemed reluctant to help, and was told someone would call me back. After waiting three days, on October 25 my husband called again. He spoke to dexter, who promised he would call back when the parts were in stock within 7 to 10 days. Again there was no return call. So my husband called again on November 11. This time dexter said that the parts "could be on back order for two months. " when questioned about the safety concerns of driving with these demonstrably dangerous airbags, distressing because there is regularly a baby in the car, dexter advised that the airbag fuse be removed until the situation was remedied. Once more we received no phone calls from the dealership. Thus another call was made on January 06, 2015. My husband again spoke to dexter, who repeated that he would call back in 7 to 10 days. Predictably, no one called. Another call was placed by my husband on January 15. This time, at last, dexter made an appointment for January 23. On the 23rd, the driver side airbag was replaced, and we were told that the parts for the passenger side were unavailable (no further explanation). They would need to be ordered. I don't comprehend how it is that after months of waiting for these parts, and being forced to drive in an unsafe vehicle, this dealership is still unable to fix the problem--despite making an appointment to do just that. The problems do not subside from here. Today, January 27, I went back to the dealership to address the fact that the cover on the driver side airbag was not attached. Once again, I was told that the passenger airbag parts were on order and no time frame for completion was offered.
