For 20 years honda has known about substandard/defective parts comprising the air bag system in their vehicles. To date, they have no replacement parts to correct the defects. My honda coupe is 20 years old. How much longer must I wait until this hazardous air bag system is repaired? In 2014, my vehicle was hit from the rear while stopped by another vehicle going 33 MPH and my air bags never deployed. I sustained injuries from this accident.

Takata recall: daughter sustained a medical emergency while stopped at a light wherein she lost consciousness, hitting the car in front of her -- presumably not at a high speed. Driver's airbag did not go off but passenger airbag did, despite no one, and nothing, being in the seat. Vin is not on recall list (which mysteriously only goes back to mid-2001). Called honda multiple times and they will not inspect car, and do not care to investigate issue because the VIN is not currently on the recall list. Is the driver side airbag faulty (should it have gone off), or was the passenger side faulty (should it not have gone off-- I was told the latter at the body shop)? The car is not worth fixing given the fact that one airbag replacement alone costs approx a couple thousand dollars.

To whom it may concern, through this letter, I wish to inform you of my disagreement with the evaluation of the air bags in my 2000 honda accord. I was involved in an accident and the air bags did not deploy to protect me. When I addressed my concern to the dalton agency, I was informed that the service manager, manuel pez navarro and the head of mechanics, jorge cardenas only do oil change and filters. They advised if I wanted to know why the air bags did not function correctly, that I should pay a technician $600.00 pesos to connect a scanner to my car to see if there is an error in the system, an error that may have been there from the beginning when the car was assembled. Please understand that the factory invoice for my auto specifies that it has air bags at the highest security level. That is why I?ve taken my car to be service regularly at the dalton agency to keep all warranties in place. I placed my trust in the agency, in the honda company and in the global brand and feel that I have been misled about service and quality. I am totally disappointed by the lack of concern from individual lives. The trauma, injury and rehabilitation after the accident has been terrible, least having to deal with you has caused unnecessary frustration and fear. Knowing that the air bag situation has been called a simple mistake or accident does not help my dilemma. Luckily I am alive today, but a few centimeters could have made a big difference and caused a tragic story. What has happened to me could have happen to anyone else, especially someone having a hard time in life. Please consider taking responsibility and do the ?right thing?. I?m attaching pictures and copies of all documents for your review and providing the following information: license plate #: 124-ppu service history: 2001 ? Present service agency: honda dalton polanco de mxico, d.f.
