1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/27/2016

Honda is replacing only my driver's side air bag and not the passenger side. Honda is now saying its safe to drive as long as no one sits in the front passenger side. This is not an option for my family. The rental car Honda was providing should continue to be offered to me until my vehicle is safe to drive and the passenger side takata air-beg is repaired. Case:04962383.

2 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/09/2016

Takata recall inappropriate and unacceptable advise provided by hoehn Honda dealership carlsbad California. August 9, 2016, phone conversation with hoehn Honda regarding airbag recall. 1. Hoehn took vehicle info and VIN number. 2. Hoehn advised us that the car was recalled and not to have anybody ride in the front passenger seat until the airbag is replaced. 3. Airbags are ordered but not available. 4. No mention of driver side airbag recall. 5. No offer of loaner car made. August 23, 2019, phone conversation with hoehn Honda regarding airbag recall and our updated information that the drivers airbag is recalled as well. 1. Hoehn again advised us that the car was recalled and the airbags are ordered, but have not arrived and not to have anybody ride in the front passenger seat until the airbag is replaced. 2. I ask about the drivers airbag and after taking my vehicle VIN number they then advised us not to drive the car. 3. I inquired about a loaner car. 4. Hoehn said they could not otherwise a loaner car. This had to be handled through american Honda. 5. After insistence and speaking to a manager, a loaner car was then offered until a new drivers airbag was installed. August 24, 2016 phone conversation with american Honda case number 04950465. 1. Informed me that dealerships are normally authorized to provide loaner cars for airbag recalls 2. Hoehn Honda was aware of both the drivers side as well as the passenger side airbags were recalled. 3. Hoehn had ordered both airbags and they currently had the passenger airbag earmarked for my vehicle in stock. 4. This was going to beforwarded to american Honda management for further investigation. It appears that hoehn is willfully providing unacceptable advice to save money and puts drivers at an unacceptable risk.
