UPON ARRIVAL AT NORTHWEST HONDA I WAS TOLD THE APPOINTMENT WAS NEVER SCHEDULED, THEY WERE BOOKED AND I HAD THE OPTION TO WAIT 2 HOURS TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE WAITED 5 MONTHS FOR A RECALLED PART TO BE REPLACED IN MY CAR AND AFTER WAITING 5 MONTHS I AM TOLD TO WAIT 2 ADDITIONAL HOURS AFTER THE DEALER MADE A MISTAKE IN THEIR SCHEDULING. I REQUESTED FOR THE EXISTING DEFECTIVE AIRBAG TO BE REMOVED AND WAS ADVISED THIS CANNOT BE DONE BECAUSE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. I REQUESTED FOR THE PART TO BE GIVEN TO ME SO I CAN HAVE ANOTHER DEALERSHIP INSTALL IT, I WAS TOLD THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED BY LAW TO DO THIS EITHER. SO I AM FORCED TO WAIT FOR NORTHWEST HONDA TO NOT MESS UP MY RESCHEDULED APPOINTMENT ON 11/21, OR GET RID OF THE PART WHICH PER PINK NOTIFICATION WILL ONLY BE ON HOLD UNTIL 11/14.
