AIR BAGS, POWER TRAIN
Hello, I have contacted Acura and because my car is now in [XXX] they are telling me I can’t have my car repaired. Acura says there are no recalls on this car but when I put in the Vin [XXX] , the recalls come up right away. my mother brought this car to Canada in 2004 and was unaware of any recalls until recently. She use’s this car often and Im worried about the safety of this vehicle, The car is in mint condition and has very low mileage and now qualifies for collector insurance plates. any help would be much appreciated. Thank you. ( In my contact information I had to put Washington as it doesn’t have an option for Canada) INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My incident that I am reporting about is regarding the safety recall on my 2000 Acura TL -Safety Recall: MULTI-MODEL NADI AIRBAG INFLATOR SAFETY RECALL H6S · Jan 22, 2020 My issue is that I have contacted the dealer in my area on multiple occasions and have been told things such as “they must order the part needed and will get back to me once it has arrived” or they aren’t sure my vehicle was effected by this recall, after I informed them I have a letter stating my vehicle is one of the vehicles effected by the recall, I have takes to multiple different people through phone calls, emails, and even third party services. They never return my calls or attempts to resolve this issue and it is a major safety concern. I don’t know how else to approach this situation.

As you are driving down the road interstate or highway the car cuts off/shuts down but everything electrical stays on inside the vehicle then you have to wait 45 minutes/ an hour and a half to get it to start back up but it will turn over and continue to turn over if you try to start it before then happens a lot here lately took it to several mechanics to see what the problem was and plug it up to the computer/code reader and it will not get past 30% while hooked up trying to read/download the codes so you can’t even find out what the issue/problem is

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS
THE ACURA DEALERSHIP INSPECTED MY AIRBAG INFLATOR AND DENIED REPLACEMENT SINCE THE AIRBAG NUMBER ENDED WITH "00" RATHER THAN "96", "97", "98", "99". THERE IS NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY "00" IS SAFE. NO ONE KNOWS AT THE DEALERSHIP OR CORPORATE OFFICE. AM I AND OTHERS DRIVING WITH A SAFE AIRBAG OR IS IT STILL DEFECTIVE? DELAYED RESPONSE FROM ACURA AND HONDA. NO OPTION PROVIDED TO PURCHASE A NEW INFLATOR TO GUARANTEE SAFETY. NOW THEY ARE SAYING TEKATA SEATBELTS MAY ALSO HAVE AN ISSUE, AND THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO INSPECT SEATBELT UPON REQUEST.
