ENGINE
I bought this car from a private seller and he claimed the vehicle was in good condition. A day later the car has been dying on me while driving. Nothing shows on the check engine that something is wrong with it. The car will start and able to drive but then will die on me again. How do I find if it's covered under a recall?

POWER TRAIN, ENGINE
Engine shuts off while driving. Speeds can be low or high. 20-65 mph. While driving, engine will cut off. Sometimes the electrics remain on and I can use power steering to pull to the side of the road, other times everything shuts down. It can happen while turning or regular straight driving. Sometimes it will restart right after, other times, it won't start for many minutes. We have gotten stuck in turn lanes, middle of intersections, and busy 3 lane city roads. Mechanic says it is not showing any codes and can't find anything wrong with the car.

AIR BAGS: AIR BAG/RESTRAINT CONTROL MODULE
The SRS light has come on in our 2001 Honda CR-V. Diagnostics at the dealership revealed that the control module is defective, and Honda does not cover its replacement. This is a safety issue, as the airbags will not deploy with the SRS light on. Honda should be responsible for this. Please issue a recall. It appears this issue has been occurring for several years.

The contact owned a 2001 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving at 25 mph, another vehicle had run a stop sign and the contact's vehicle crashed into the rear driver side door of the other vehicle. None of the air bags deployed upon impact. No medical attention was received. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a gas station. The insurance company had not inspected the vehicle to deem it totaled. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. Prior to the failure, the vehicle had a NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V027000 (Air Bags) recall repaired by the dealer. The failure mileage was approximately 146,000. The VIN was unavailable.

I LOOKED UP MY VIN I'D TO SEE IT HAD A AIR BAG RECALL. I THEN CALL MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO SEE WHEN I COULD TAKE VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL. THEY STATED BRING IT ANT TIME. I ALSO RECEIVED A 'SAFETY RECALL NOTICE' FROM HONDA. ON 10/27/2020 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAVE THE AIR BAG REPLACED. AS IT TURN OUT ON THE PAPER WORK WHEN CONTACTED TO PICK UP THE VEHICLE IT STATED 'AIR BAG INSPECTION COMPLETE'. I LATER CALLED THE DEALER TO FIND OUT THAT IT WAS NOT REPLACED BUT ONLY INSPECTED. THIS WAS DONE BY HONDA SPREEN. IS INSPECTION ONLY CORRECT OR REPLACEMENT CORRECT. SHOULD THE RECALL HAVE REPLACED THE ACTUAL DEVICE. DOES THIS RECALL COVER BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ON THIS VEHICLE?
