As the result of a recall, my driver airbag inflator was replaced. Soon afterwards, my horn started honking when hitting, bumps or moving the steering wheel. I returned the vehicle to the dealership, and they said they adjusted something that seem to help for a short period of time. However, the problem returned upon taking the car to another dealership. I found that the automotive repairman stated that the wrong part for the inflator had been installed. I returned it to the original dealership and they refused to address the problem. The dealer is persons Honda at 15525 Frederick Rd., Rockville, MD 20855.

Good Morning, On Monday, September 19, 2022. I talked with Chris from Honda. com. He told me to take the vehicle back to the same repair dealership where I had issues with repairing the vehicle. I said trusting them is hard for me because they had the vehicle 3 different times and the airbags and vehicle are still not repaired. Chris told me " I will call you back later, by the end of this week". As of yet, I have not heard back from Chris at Honda.com thank you. John Phillips. Ps. receipts were previously submitted.

The vehicle was taken to Honda to have the airbag replaced. They said that the work couldn’t be completed because the airbag had already been deployed. They said that they needed to work with corporate to determine what the costs were going to be. I kept making calls to find out what the status was but I never heard back. I did speak to a couple of reps but they never got back to me. Also, I became very frustrated because they kept telling they would get back to me and never did. Basically, I kept having to chase someone down to no avail. Any help that you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION INFORMING ME OF THE RECALL, AND STATING IN THE LETTER "FREE RENTAL CARS ARE AVAILABLE TO THE VEHICLE OWNER FOR THE DAY OF THE RECALL REPAIR, OR LONGER IF A REPLACEMENT PART IS TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE." I CALLED A LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO ARRANGE THE RECALL REPAIR AND WAS INFORMED THEY DON'T OFFER THE FREE RENTAL CAR SERVICE. I CALLED HONDA AUTOMOBILE DIVISION TO ENQUIRER ABOUT THIS SERVICE. THEY TOOK MY INFORMATION AND WILL HAVE AN ANSWER FOR ME WITHIN 24-48 HOURS I CAN EXPECT A CALLBACK WITH AN AUTHORIZATION SERVICE. THE WAY THE LETTER IS WORDED IMPLIES A FREE RENTAL IS AVAILABLE, NO WHERE IN THE LETTER DOES IT STIPULATE UPON DEALER APPROVAL, OR ANY FINE PRINT INDICATING ANY STIPULATIONS AROUND THE FREE CAR RENTAL. FROM THE LETTER, I EXPECT A LOANER WHILE REPAIRS ARE PERFORMED, YET HONDA HAS TO AUTHORIZE THIS. THE DEALER INFORMED ME TO BRING THE LETTER IN WITH ME BUT I CAN'T TAKE THE TIME TO TRAVEL THERE IN CASE I'LL BE DENIED A RENTAL. MY JOB REQUIRES I TRAVEL PERIODICALLY, AND IF SUCH ARISES WHILE MY VEHICLE IS BEING REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL, I WILL NEED A LOANER. I WILL BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE A SCAN OF THE LETTER IF NEEDED BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T HAVE A SCANNER AT WORK.

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO HAVE A RECALL PERFORMED. THEY WERE TO REPLACE THE SRS ELECTRONIC CONTROL UNIT REPLACED. WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON. AFTER THEY COMPLETED THE RECALL MY SRS WARNING LIGHT IS ON. THE LIGHT HAS NEVER BEEN ON IN THE 10 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE. SO AS IT TURNS OUT I TOOK A CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS IN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A RECALL PERFORMED AND THEY RETURNED A DEFECTIVE CAR TO ME. THEY REFUSE TO FIX WHATEVER THEY DID TO CAUSE THE SRS MALFUNCTION LIGHT TO COME ON AND STAY ON.
