HONDA HAS BEEN TRYING TO FIX THE 4 RECALL PROBLEMS ON FOUR DIFFERENT REPAIR ATTEMPTS SINCE MARCH OF 2015, ALL REGARDING THE AIR BAG RECALLS. THEY ARE STILL NOT FIXED AND THERE IS STILL AN OPEN RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. MY VEHICLE IS STILL AT HONDA OF CORONA. I HAVE HAD 4 DIFFERENT LOANER CARS AND STILL HAVE A LOANER BECAUSE OF HONDA NOT HAVING THE PARTS TO REPAIR MINE. HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT CORONA AND RIVERSIDE ARE DEPLORABLE. I HAVE HAD THE POLICE INVOLVED IN ONE INCIDENT IN RIVERSIDE AND WAS TOLD SORRY I NEED TO TAKE MY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER. "BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE TO ANYONE THEY WANT TO". I WAS TOLD BY [XXX] THE SERVICE MANAGER AT HONDA OF CORONA THAT REPAIRING MY RECALLED VEHICLE WAS OUT OF THEIR "GRACIOUSNESS" AND THAT REPAIRING THESE AIRBAG RECALLS WAS A COURTESY AND NOT A REQUIREMENT. I KNOW BETTER THAN WHAT HE TOLD ME AND ALSO DID MY RESEARCH INTO THIS. HONDA IS TRYING THEIR BEST TO GET OUT OF REPAIRING THESE RECALLS. PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY ARE LOSING MONEY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT PARTS AND CANNOT HANDLE A RECALL OF THIS MAGNITUDE. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY [XXX] AT RIVERSIDE HONDA THAT SINCE I WAS NOT THE ORIGINAL BUYER OF THE CAR, THAT I DID NOT HAVE PRIORITY REPAIR SINCE I WAS NOT LIKELY TO BE A HONDA CUSTOMER IN THE FUTURE. YOU BET I WILL NOT BE. THEY HAVE HAD NO RESPECT OR HELP TO ME IN TRYING TO RECTIFY THIS AIRBAG ISSUE. HONDA NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE MORE PEOPLE ARE KILLED OR MAIMED BY THEIR CARS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. ----[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SRS UNIT IS NOT FUNCTIONING. WE HAVE A LETTER THAT STATES THAT HONDA WILL REPLACE THE SRS UNIT BY MID SUMMER 2015. NEITHER OUR DEALER NOR HONDA KNOWS WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

STRUCTURE:BODY
2003 HONDA ODYSSEY EX WAS TAPPED IN THE REAR BY A LARGE PICKUP TRUCK WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, CREASING THE LIFT GATE AND SLIGHTLY PUNCTURING THE BUMPER COVER. JEFF'S BODY SHOP IN CHESTER MD IS THE REPAIR SHOP. UPON REMOVING THE REAR BUMPER COVER, THEY DISCOVERED THE STEEL FRAME TO BE SEVERELY RUSTED, WITH OVER HALF OF THE BOTTOM OF THE BEAM MISSING. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE STEEL FRAME MEMBER FROM THE ACCIDENT. HAD THIS BEEN A MORE SERIOUS COLLISION, THE BEAM COULD HAVE SERIOUSLY FAILED AT ITS INTENDED PURPOSE. THIS VAN WAS GARAGE KEPT FROM 2003-2010, WELL CARED FOR AND GENERALLY NOT DRIVEN WHEN IT SNOWED AND ROADS SALTED, AND IN TEMPERATE MARYLAND THE ENTIRE TIME. THE REPAIR SHOP WILL BE CUTTING OUT AND WELDING IN A NEW FRAME MEMBER. PHOTOS OF THE RUSTED PART ARE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. I'VE ALSO ASKED THE BODY SHOP TO SAVE THE PART FOR INSPECTION.
