My car has been repeatedly recall over recent years. Now I have received another recall to repair the same unit that recalled and repaired barely a month ago. Honda is endangering its customers with repeated failed recalls and should be sanctioned severely.

In the past I received a notice in the mail detailing an airbag inflator safety recall containing my car's VIN number. When I called the local honda dealer to get it replaced, they stated that my car was not actually affected in the recall and a replacement would not be needed. I received another notice in the mail and when I called the dealer this time they confirmed that in fact my car needs replacements. My complaint is that I have been driving my car thinking it was safe, based on the honda dealership's word, when in fact it has not been safe to drive.

Takata recall. My 2001 honda civic has been sitting my my drive for about a month and is not being used as my primary vehicle. Yesterday the car seemed fine; windows clear, no smell, etc. However, when returning today the car had the smell of burnt plastic which was overpowering and went to see why it smelled and then noticed that the windows were covered in soot. The driver side door was opened and the smell was 100% stronger and you could see that the plastic on the passenger side dash was burnt and melting right around where the airbag; I will send pictures. It looked like the dash had melted from the inside out and besides the car covered in soot the damage is located specifically on the passenger side around the airbag and glove compartment. In working to complete this report I noticed how it asks how many miles are on the car, but the only way to see the number of miles is by turning the car on. I am hesitiant to turn the car on since I don't know what happened and don't think it is safe. However, I know the car has over 200,000 miles but I am not sure as the exact number of miles.

Takata recall - I had recall notice . - 7/13 - hennessy honda - woodstock, ga ( invoice # hocs623783) passenger airbag inflator was installed). At that time my mileage was 117,706. In sept. 2017 I took car to honda carland - alpharetta, ga (where I purchased the car in aug., 2001) as the SRS light would not turn off. Mechanic was able to turn it off. In dec. 2017 both SRS light and side airbag lights would not go off. I was told that the opds unit and sensor were bad internally, causing code 15-3 - need to be replaced, and quoted me over $1000 to do so. I believe this is related to the recall that was received and supposedly fixed in 2013.. I feel that honda should replace the passenger side airbag assembly. Both lights still remain on, and I am hesitant to let anyone sit in the passenger side seat.
