Takata recall

In the last recall, I went to the dealership in greer SC as instructed. When I called about the recall, I told the representative that my driver's side airbag was already expelled and asked if it would be replaced. She assured me that it would. They laughed in my face at the dealership, and did not replace the airbag.

I have been in and replaced my airbag sensors 3 times with the recall. After the 2nd or 3rd time I was in for the recall the lining of the roof of my car has completely fallen in and makes it impossible for me to see out the rear view mirror. I have included a picture of the roof of my car as it looks now. I should have video of the transition of events but I think my external hard drive has crashed completely. I have been in to Honda of concord in North Carolina where they have told me there was nothing they could do as far as repairing it for free and I would have to pay. Why has no one looked at a computer glitch as the culprit for the airbag sensors automatically releasing air? something has to trigger the sensor to start slowly releasing air, as I was told at Honda of South hill, Virginia where I originally had my sensors replaced for the recall.

Took my vehicle in for air bag recall, a few months later, the SRS light came on. Took vehicle back to same dealer that had replaced air bag and now I'm told that the SRS unit has gone bad and no safety features (air bags, seat belts) will work if I am in a crash. I can pay over $730 to fix this unit. Additionally, I am asked when my battery had died- which it hasn't died. However, the only time in the last few years when my battery was touched was when they disconnected it to replace the drivers recalled air bag. Then I'm told that this major safety component is not covered under any warranty from Honda and was in no way connected or effected by the air bag replacement they did a few months prior. I find this incredibly suspect and have noticed others posting the same complaint about replaced airbags and SRS unit replacements. So, even after this recall, I have a car that isn't safe and I feel that this new issue is a result of the earlier work with the airbag replacement. Please, please, please look into this relationship to see if recall replacement units or procedures are causing this SRS unit to malfunction. We're having to pay almost $1000 to fix this and I don't feel that we'd be in this predicament without some fault of Honda or the technicians at my local dealer.
