AIR BAGS
I OWN A 2004 HONDA PILOT. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE IN FEB 2015 OF THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALER, BROWN'S ARLINGTON HONDA, FOR REPAIR. THE DEALER SAID THE PARTS ARE BACK ORDERED, AND WOULD TAKE 3-4 WEEKS TO ARRIVE, AND SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS. I CALLED TODAY, 1 APRIL 2015, 6 WEEKS LATER, AND THE PARTS HAVE NOT ARRIVED. THE DEALER SAYS IT WILL BE ANOTHER 3-4 WEEKS. IT APPEARS BOTH HONDA AND BROWN'S ARLINGTON HONDA ARE PURPOSEFULLY DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON THIS RECALL REPAIR. *TR

SEATS
THE DRIVERS SIDE SEAT BRACKET, 81630-S3V-A30, HAS BROKEN AT A WEAK POINT IN THE METAL WHERE THE SEAT MOTOR ATTACHES. THE BREAK CAUSED THE SEAT TO ROCK BACK AND FORTH FREELY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS BRACKET HAS BROKEN. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN JULY, 2011; MOST RECENTLY FEBRUARY 2015. EACH TIME I PURCHASED A NEW BRACKET ARM AT THE EXPENSE OF ALMOST $300. BOTH BRACKETS BROKE AT THE SAME SPOT, WHERE THE SEAT MOTOR MOUNTS. THE SUDDEN METAL BREAK ALMOST CAUSED US TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. IN EACH CASE, NORM REEVES HONDA IN HUNTINGTON BEACH REFUSED TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE BRACKET AT THEIR COST BUT OFFERED, INSTEAD, TO ORDER THE PART AND INSTALL IT FOR A COST OF $1200. *TR
