Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2008 Honda Ridgeline

"takata recall" I had scheduled an appointment with bob howard Honda , edmond oklahoma to get the faulty passenger side airbag replaced, I had called them almost two months ago and back then , gary millican ( service rep ) had promised me that I would be provided a loaner or rental car reimbursement. After that conversation, I was assuming that a part would have been ordered specifically for my vehicle. I have tried to minimize anyone sitting in the passenger side ever since the recall notice was received in the mail. After I had initiated the request, the accountability was squarely with bob howard Honda to get back to me after the part was received. That never happened. Last week, I set up an appointment with them specifically stating that the I would be bringing in my vehicle on Saturday, August 6, 2016 to replace the airbag. I got a appointment confirmation as well as a reminder. When I went in, the service advisor , logan told me that the part wasn't in stock and he will have to order it. When I asked him that if I could get a loaner or a rental reimbursement ( my primary concern was that my wife is 4 months pregnant and I wanted to reduce any chance of the faulty part causing harm to her as well as the unborn child ). But I was told that Honda policy is not to provide either as it just affected the passenger side. I would have no other option but to seek legal help in this total lack of seriousness on Honda's part. When a vehicle is sold, it isn't sold as a means of transportation just for one person ( the driver ). If its undriveable with a passenger , it should be deemed undriveable. Honda cannot shirk away from the responsibility of compensating customers for alternative methods of transportation when their initial contract of providing a safe vehicle wasn't adhered to.

"takata recall" I took my truck in on 3/2/2016 to local Honda dealership for routine maintenance and to have the takata recall taking care of on the drivers airbag. When the servicing was done the service adviser informed me that they did not have the airbag available and he would call once they got them, he said about a week. So I gave them till 4/11/2016 then I called the service adviser back he informed me to give them another week and call back. On 4/19/2016 I call back and spoke to another adviser and he informed me that they did not have them and to call back in 2 weeks. 5/4/2016 I call back and spoke with the first adviser I did business with on 3/2/2016 he told me they still did not have them and he would call me when they came in. On 7/19/2016 I decided to call them back since I had not heard from anyone and spoke to a third adviser which he in turn transferred me back to the original adviser and upon talking with him he said he didn't know if they had came in and I informed him I had received a second recall for the passenger side airbag. He said he would check and call me back. Today is 8/11/2016 I have till yet to hear from the adviser or anyone else.

Takata recall. Front passenger seat has been unusable since a July, 2016 notice from Honda stating that the front passenger seat should not be occupied until the airbag has been replaced. Planet Honda in lakewood colorado ordered both front airbags on 7/6/16 since I had not been notified from Honda that parts were available. I finally received notice from the dealer that parts were in and the dealer installed the driver's side bag on 9/17/16, but informed me that the passenger-side airbag had not arrived, but still on order. I have checked with the dealer two times, and been informed that the parts are still unavailable. This delay is causing great inconvenience in my family because of lack of passenger capacity. I get the feeling that Honda is not complying with this recall in a timely fashion.
