Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2009 Honda CR-V

2009 Honda Cr-v. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair front passenger and driver side airbag recall notices. .

Takata recall - I have been trying to get the air bags replaced for months now at Honda of santa maria, CA. They said the driver's side air-bag is still on backorder and they have now ordered the passenger airbag. After receiving a letter in the mail regarding the recall saying that I shouldn't have a passenger even in my front seat, I am very uncomfortable even driving my car. I want it fixed ASAP, and it is very inappropriate when it is a matter of safety to be kept waiting such an extraordinarily long time.

I was notified about 4 months ago that my car was subject to recall for both driver and passenger airbags. Notice said parts would not be available until June 2016. I called marin Honda the local dealer and was told they would order parts. Today, July 11th, I got a call informing me that the passenger side airbag ordered was in and to set up an appointment for installation. I asked about the driver side airbag and was told it was "back ordered". I said I wanted to wait for both parts ordered for the recall replacement to be available so I didn't have to spend 2 days on this recall. I was told that the passenger airbag would not be held for me and may not be available when the driver side airbag was available. This is a known safety risk but Honda is not giving recall replacement any priority, much less the safety of their customers. Customer safety should be number 1 priority.

Takata recall. I went to boardwalk Honda at 6807 tilton rd, egg harbor township, NJ 08234 last may 14, 2016 for the takata driver's side airbag recall on my Honda Cr-v 2009 model. I was told that it still was not available. I asked if they could provide me a temporary alternative transportation but they said at that time all vehicles reserved to them from enterprise were in use already. I kept on following up with them every week and even asked if they could reimburse me if I rented a car. They told me to call american Honda about that. Unfortunately, american Honda's number, 1-888-234-2138 automatically redirects you to an automated answering system which tells the caller to coordinate with your dealer. I have tried calling other dealers but they told me the airbag was VIN specific and once it's ordered by one dealer, they can't order it again. I'm getting concerned because we have a 2 yr old and a newborn baby and it's been almost 3 months and I fear for our safety every time I use that car. I only want them to provide me a rental car while waiting for the parts to come and not give me the runaround every time I call them. I sincerely hope you could help with our situation. Thank you.

Takata recall my car was taken in for the airbag recall for replacement. When I was called to come and get my car I asked if the driver and passenger side airbag had been replaced and was told yes. Upon arrival at the Honda dealership service department I was told they had made a mistake, only the driver's side airbag had been replaced. Needless to say I was very upset, asked to speak to someone and was given the number for the main american Honda office. I called them right at the dealership and was told at this time only the one airbag was on recall, I voiced my serious concern as my car had not been on the recall list a year ago and now it was and I have 2 grandchildren that frequently ride in my car. I requested that they disconnect the passenger side airbag, they said they could not do that, they tried to assure me it was safe for me to drive my car with my grandchildren. I requested that it be noted I was not satisfied. They gave me a case number. Right now I am in god's hands as this is the only transportation I have. It makes no sense that both airbags were not replaced when they had my car and replaced the driver's. When the updated lists come out I imagine since I live in florida I will eventually receive another recall notification, and this time for the passenger side. Both airbags need to be replaced at the same time.

While driving on the highway,rt 24, 7. 3 mile marker(?),some one cut us off and my wife was in the center lane and turned to the right. We got hit my another car in the rear or side. We ended up on the side of highway with the driver side on the ground. The passenger curtain air bags inflated along with other passenger side air bags. The only air bag to inflate on drivers side that was on the ground was the one in the steering column. We had to climb out of the passenger door,which was on the top now. The electrical system shorted (we smelled smoke) and we could not open the moon roof. Why didn't the curtain air bags inflate on the drivers side? this side of the car was laying on the ground. The drivers door was against the ground. Is there a problem with the side curtain air bags. My grand children were in the car at the time and seem to be ok. My wife hit her head,with bruises on left side on body and I received a bad cut on my left hand. My left shoulder hurts to. Again,why didn't the drivers side curtain air bag deploy???? police crash report b130201600374a,NJ state ploice,.
