I received several letters notifying me of an urgent recall for my Honda vehicle. I’ve attempted to get this issue fixed many times. However, the dealership stated that the repair will take a few hours to repair. Since I work Uber and DoorDash, I requested a loaner vehicle to use while my car is being repaired. They stated that they can’t provide that and If I want to I can rent a vehicle at $45 a day. Also, I will have to pay for my Uber ride from the dealership and back. There should be no reason why I should be responsible for lost wages or any expenses relating to a recall that is entirely out of my control.

My passenger air bag is on. Technician is looking at it but cannot find the problem. It cannot pass vehicle inspection with the light on. Seeking help and or advice on servicing the problem. The Technician thinks it may be the button switch or the computer brain. Are these possibilities? Thank you in advance. Stationed in Europe.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA CONTACTED ME AGAIN REGARDING THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR. I TRADED THIS CAR INTO AN ACURA DEALER APPROXIMATELY 10 YEARS AGO. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA BY PHONE AND MAIL 5 OR 6 TIMES YET THEY STILL HAVEN'T CORRECTED THIS. SOMEWHERE SOMEONE IS DRIVING A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I SURE THEY COULD FIND THIS CAR IF THEY FOLLOWED UP CORRECTLY. THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT VERY CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY.
