3 Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problem

Failure Date: 12/28/2015

Late in 2015 I received a mailing from wilde Honda, waukesha, WI an "urgent/recall notice" concerning my 2004 Honda Pilot regarding a potentially defective airbag inflator. I contacted the dealer listed and scheduled an appointment. I dropped my car off on 12/28/15 to have this repair performed. . The reason for the appointment was this airbag service. . . I on the receipt provided it shows that they had performed the air bag inflator service. In early February of 2016 I received another mailing informing me to have this airbag service performed. I called the dealership. The original service advisor said that the repair on the air bag recall had not been performed at the earlier service appointment. He did not know why, and admitted it was a mistake. I eventually talked to the service manager. He offered to repair the car if it was brought back. My concerns in this case , it might be a common one with this deanship. They never contacted me regarding this issue. I contacted them in Feb 16 to follow up on another recall notice. Two months after the supposed airbag repair. They have my cell number and mailing address and cannot provide any proof they ever tried to contact me. I have a phone log and show no incoming calls from them it seems that they were only concerned with this specific issue when Honda would not reimburse them for this warranty repair because they used the incorrect part to make the repair! the dealers actions have placed the safety of my family risk. Their only offer to fix this air bag service mistake is to bring the car back for service. If this was not a recall item that was involved, I doubt I would have heard back from them. I would be driving an potentially unsafe car, thinking the issue had been addressed. This dealership misrepresents the truth, is sloppy in record keeping, and uses incorrect parts for a recall service.
