Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2011 Honda FIT

Takata recal - got a notification from Honda re driver side air bag recall. Took car into local Honda dealership 06/29/2016. Was told that another recall on the passenger side air bag also applies to my car, and that neither air bag is available at the dealership for repairs to be performed. Service representative ordered the parts and told me that I will be notified once they arrive, and service representative told me that he can not provide an estimate as to how long it would take for the air bags to arrive. Today is 07/27/2016, it has been 4 weeks since my first visit to the local Honda dealership about the air bags, and still no airbags and no date of their expected delivery.

Takata recall I was notified that my vehicle had a recall on the driver side airbag and not to drive it. I do not believe Honda will be able to remedy this defect within a reasonable amount of time. I was told the parts may be avaliable in late summer of 2016. They have offered a rental, without the optional insurance coverage, but I would prefer if they offered a buy back on the vehicle.

Takata recall: I immediately contacted my Honda dealer about the driver side airbag recall on 3/24/15. Of course I wanted to be put on a list for priority, expecting first come first serve, in the absence of any other known orderly approach to this nightmarish ordeal. However when I contacted the local dealer and the national Honda hotline 6/21/6 for an update, neither could provide any new insight whatsoever after 3 months had passed. This is not acceptable. A manufacturer can provide some at least remotely accurate delivery estimate update and disseminate that info. Also, someone is responsible for acquiring that info, coordinating with other entities and disseminating that info. Rather important with lives at risk. If these parts actually start to trickle in, we, and everyone involved, needs to know time frames, and if there is a system of some sort in place ,so that dealers can provide a better answer than "I don't know", and the customer can know that they haven't "fallen thru the cracks" which is pretty common in the real world. Thanks.

Takata recall - it has been over six months since I was put on the list for the passenger side airbag recall. I contacted Honda right away as I had just had the driver side one replaced that took almost 3 months. We only have 1 vehicle in our family and my Fit is not big enough for my family. I spoke with Honda about getting a rental as we cannot use the front seat safely and was denied a rental and when I asked for an appeal I was just put on hold and told no. I feel that Honda has handle this part of the recall poorly and in my case severely affected what my family and I can do. They claim I have 5 seats which would be great if the back seat held 2 regular sized adults let alone 2 teenagers and an adult.
