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.

Dealer completed campaigns 14-045 and 14-046 front air bags on november 11, 2014 for our 2004 honda pilot which is located in florida. Subsequently received a second airbag recall notice the federal safety agency 14v‑700 dated january 2015, front passenger air bag. Called dealer for appointment, service manager reports completion of the earlier 14-045, 46 is sufficient, not necessary to complete 14v‑700. Called honda america, same response. Honda america would not provide written documentation, recall is still shown as open this vehicle.

I called the 800 number listed on the letter to honda owners to enquire as to whether my honda pilot was subject to recall for the driver's side airbag. The operator, "[xxx]" (decline to provide last name), stated that it was not. When asked why it was not as it was in the affected year range, 2003-2007, she stated that the recall was VIN specific. When asked how honda could know that as they don't know the vehicle content by VIN (per [xxx] at the same number the day before), she could not answer. I asked her if honda could assign a case manager to determine whether or not my vehicle contained a takata driver's airbag and she stated that I would have to contact a dealer on my own. When asked if she would confirm this with her supervisor, she did so and replied that what she had said was official honda policy. When asked her supervisor's name she declined starting that she could not reveal this information. When informed that a contemporaneous record of this call had been transcribed and would be provided to counsel in the event of an incident involving my vehicle's airbags she was noncommittal. I would hope that this sort of reaction in the course of a voluntary manufacturer's recall will be noted by the federal safety agency in its review of this matter.

2004 honda pilot. Consumer writes in regards to recent recall warnings related to its airbags.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda pilot. While driving approximately 45 MPH, the vehicle was involved in a roll over crash. The air bags deployed. The contact's wife sustained a broken back due to the deployment and received medical attention. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 195,000.
We were on another summer trip and the airbag warning light came on. This is the big red light to the far left of the panel. Calling honda in franklin tn they had no idea what could happen while continuing to drive the vehicle. Calling another dealership they assured me that it was most likely a sensor and the airbags would simply not deploy. Honda as recalls now for bad airbags. 1- our 2004 does not fall into the recall period 2 - honda should pay for any issue related to bad airbag technology regardless of how old the car is, just like they do with seat belts. If we would have been in a wreck during the time that light was on, the airbag would not have deployed. 3- any part of the airbag/sensor/ seatbelt system should not be merely covered under a limited warranty. It should be covered for the life of the car. This is a safety issue. If they cannot stand behind the safety of the car they need to get out of the business.
Airbag (SRS) light is on. Dealer indicates vehicle needs complete SRS unit total cost of $743.23 plus tax. Dealer did not indicate that part was under warranty or covered by any recall.
Srs red light on. No previous collisions or airbag deployments. Dealer states that SRS controller needs replacement, but not covered by honda. Airbags might not deploy in accident. Cost prohibitive to replace SRS controller in houston, tx, they want $800-$1000 to replace this safety item. Calling honda customer service about premium and exploitive prices charge by their dealers in houston is of no avail. Honda should take notice of this problem seriously before anyone gets injured in car crash by failure of airbag deployment. At minimum, I expect honda to offer minimum or subsidized pricing and prevent customer exploitation by their dealers. Please help.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda pilot. The contact stated that after starting the ignition, the air bag warning indicator illuminated continuously. The failure occurred whenever the engine was in operation. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated that the SRS air bag control unit would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.
While driving the front passenger airbag deactivates on its own as if a small child is sitting in the front seat, but the passenger seat is completely empty.
Srs light came on. Honda dealer said opds unit need replacing. Was replaced 5/6/09. Drove about a month and SRS light comes back on. Honda dealer said unit may be defective. Unit replaced. Drove about 2 weeks and SRS light comes back on. Honda dealer stumped. They just keep resetting the unit but SRS light just comes back on. It stays on all the time now.
Vehicle veered of the road and struck a tree, dead on the front left headlight and destroyed the bumper and front left fender, pushed the hood into the windshield, which cracked. The air bag did not deploy. Bruising from seat belt.
On my 2004 honda pilot, the SRS (airbag) warning indicator light on the dashboard mysteriously remains on even though there have been no other changes to the vehicle. The honda dealer wants $80 just to look at it! This is outrageous; it's clearly a failed component that should be covered under the safety portion of the vehicle's warrantee for the lifetime of the vehicle. There are many other honda owners who have experienced this warning light and they report it is nearly always a failed passenger seat sensor that honda is replacing under a tsb; however my local dealer claims to know nothing of the tsb and want me to pay for this.
My 2004 honda pilot is having a SRS problem for the second time. It is the part # 81334-s9v-a03 which is for the sensor under the passenger seat. The dealership stated that the airbags may not deploy with the sensor out. This is the second time this has happened for this same vehicle in 3 years. The first was in january 2008 so it has gone only 24k miles in that time. When checking the first time there was a recall on some sensors for the 2004 honda pilot for this sensor but none for my vehicles VIN.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 honda pilot. The contact was driving approximately 50 MPH when the air bag warning light illuminated and remained illuminated.
