6 Air Bag problem of the 2021 Honda Ridgeline

Failure Date: 05/08/2025

This has something to do with circuit board for the seat sensor that activates air bag? I can’t get dealer to take care of recall. They keep saying we don’t have the parts. This is going on since at least September of last year. Why have recall if they aren’t going to do anything about it? they make appointments and then cancel. I have called Honda customer service number(twice) listed on the recall paper twice. Always get told to call dealer and talk to them. Dealer makes appointment and then cancels a few days before the date to bring it in. I have contacted dealer many times about this. Why issue a recall and then don’t fix anything?.

16 Air Bag problem of the 2023 Honda Ridgeline

Failure Date: 01/31/2024

I was on cedar ridge blvd, chantilly, virginia 20120 and turned into bull run post office rd centreville virginia 20120, USA. I was driving at 25 miles or so. I don't know if my first or second tire flat first but immediately after my airbags at right and left front and back side got deployed and created a little fire and thick black smoke. I got shock, panicked and lost control for second and hit right front wheel trim of car to probably edge of road. I called Honda road services to tow my car to nearest Honda services. They told me that a tower would come over to take care of me in 120 minutes and take my car to chantilly Honda services. Unfortunately they didn’t show up for 3 hours. I stayed outside in cold weather for 3 hours. Thankfully police came over and saw the situation and he was really surprised with defectiveness of my car airbags. So he had to call tow company that works for police department to get my car to the nearest Honda services. I called landmark Honda and told them the situation. Landmark Honda wanted me to bring my car to landmark alexandria instead of nearest Honda services in chantilly. I towed my truck to alexandria. I paid for towing although they were supposed to pay. I talked to Honda headquarter in California but they didn't care about what I said. I could die lose my limbs or hurt other people. I am a home improvement contractor. I had to postpone my appointments with my new clients since then. I have no car and I have been losing business. I kindly ask you to help me with this issue. Thank you.
