AIR BAGS
DISCUSSION WITH SERVICE DEPT. AT COLLEGE PARK HONDA INDICATED THIS PART WAS A COMMON FAILURE. HONDA DOES NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS AVAILABLE. ESTIMATED TIME OF DELIVERY 4 WEEKS OR MORE. HONDA APPARENTLY DID NOT ANTICIPATE EARLY FAILURE OF THIS PART AND DOES NOT HAVE AN INVENTORY OF REPLACEMENT PARTS. BASICALLY, ANYONE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM IS BEING EXPOSED TO A FATAL ACCIDENT OR SERIOUS INJURY SINCE AIRBAGS ARE INOPERABLE UNTIL THE CONTROL MODULE IS REPLACED. THIS IS UNDOUBTEDLY A CRITICAL SAFETY PART AND A FOUR WEEK WAIT FOR A REPLACEMENT IS UNACCEPTABLE. NHTSA SHOULD CONTACT HONDA AND FORCE SOME IMMEDIATE ACTION. AT MINIMUM, THIS PART COULD BE TAKEN FROM AUTOS BEING BUILT AND REDIRECTED TOWARD THE REPLACEMENT MARKET. SOMEONE NEEDS TO HOLD HONDA'S FEET TO THE FIRE AND FORCE IMMEDIATE CORRECTION.*AK
