7 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2019

I received a letter from Honda automobile division informing me of the recall, and stating in the letter "free rental cars are available to the vehicle owner for the day of the recall repair, or longer if a replacement part is temporarily unavailable. " I called a local Honda dealer to arrange the recall repair and was informed they don't offer the free rental car service. I called Honda automobile division to enquirer about this service. They took my information and will have an answer for me within 24-48 hours I can expect a callback with an authorization service. The way the letter is worded implies a free rental is available, no where in the letter does it stipulate upon dealer approval, or any fine print indicating any stipulations around the free car rental. From the letter, I expect a loaner while repairs are performed, yet Honda has to authorize this. The dealer informed me to bring the letter in with me but I can't take the time to travel there in case I'll be denied a rental. My job requires I travel periodically, and if such arises while my vehicle is being repaired under the recall, I will need a loaner. I will be happy to provide a scan of the letter if needed but unfortunately we don't have a scanner at work.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2018

The vehicle was taken to Honda to have the airbag replaced. They said that the work couldn’t be completed because the airbag had already been deployed. They said that they needed to work with corporate to determine what the costs were going to be. I kept making calls to find out what the status was but I never heard back. I did speak to a couple of reps but they never got back to me. Also, I became very frustrated because they kept telling they would get back to me and never did. Basically, I kept having to chase someone down to no avail. Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thank you; david rivera 714 264 7169.

17 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2016

I've been a loyal Honda customer for 20 years but will never purchase a vehicle again from hennessey Honda. We received a recall saying my airbags can arbitrarily deploy. With 2 little children, this is disturbing to me. I call Saturday morning right after I get notice (hennessey Honda) I'm told to call Monday through Friday and no one can help me on the weekend. I state that I work and that is difficult to do and don't they a service center open on the weekends to fix it and she said no. I reiterate that someone needs to inform me if the replacement part is available and there's a defective potentially harmful airbag in my car. That's when things take a turn for the worse. Ed miller gets on the phone from the service center and says they refuse to fix it on the weekend. I state I work and have 2 small children in which I'm concerned about their safety and that my job is not flexible and I can't take off, can't they please fix it on the weekend.  we are about to take a long trip too!  he rudely and condensendingly says a lot of our clients have kids and jobs and are still able to do it during the week, if you can't then to find another delarship (the next is over an hour away) I say in tears at this point, can I please speak to your manager.  he proceeds to lie and say have absoultely no manager.  I question the validity of that and he reiterates they have no service manager and no dealership manager. I've honestly never been treated so bad by someone in my entire life.  I don't even know what to say, I'm honestly in shock, I don't know what's wrong with this guy but that was the meanest I've ever been treated. We brought a brand new SUV from this dealership a year ago and always use them for service. To talk to anyone like that is so awful. They are refusing to fix it during hours I'm not at work, doesnt that violate some safety laws?????.

18 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2016

This is about trying to get our recall fixed at hennessy Honda in woodstock GA. They are not fixing the recall unless it's within 10-3 m-f and this is the only place within 40 minutes. Here what happened: I recently received a recall notice about my airbags. I live in cherokee georgia and just called my local dealer who I've had great experiences with with previous recalls and getting it fixed on the weekend. When I called this time they told us that they couldn't look up the recall on their computer and that they don't do recalls on the weekend. After we explained our working schedule isn't condusive for any weekdays and that they fixed it last time. He said there is absolutely no way to fix the recall on the weekend and if they we don't like it go somewhere else. I've never had anyone tell anyone that "many people have jobs and kids and if you can't get here then that's your bad parenting. " all we want to do is get a recall for a defective product, not call someone and be insulted.
