AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
TAKATA RECALL HELLO, AFTER TAKING MY VEHICLE FOR THE TAKATA RECALL FOR THE THIRD TIME ON 9/3. THE SRS SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AND IT IS STILL ON. HONDA REFUSES TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CHARGING ME FIRST. MY MAIN CONCERN IS HOW DO I KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL AFTER HONDA FIXED THE RECALL AND NOW THE SRS LIGHT IS ON. HONDA ALSO REFUSES TO TEST THE VEHICLE TO MAKE SURE AIRBAGS AND SEAT BELTS ARE FULLY FUNCTIONAL.

WHILE WAITING FOR OVER 9 MONTHS FOR THE PARTS FOR MY AIRBAG TO BE FIXED, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD BY HONDA THIS WOULD BE FIXED WHEN THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE LIGHT SENSOR WAS A SEPARATE ISSUE AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I DO NOT HAVE $800 DOLLARS TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I WAS TOLD THE AIRBAG WILL NOT WORK AS LONG AS THE LIGHT IS ON. WHAT WAS THE POINT IN FIXING MY AIRBAG IF IT DOES NOT WORK ANYWAYS. IS THIS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE?
