CR-V 4-cyl

  • 85,058 miles
On 2/14/2015 I took my Honda CRV to my local Honda dealership to repair the front airbag inflator. I was told the replacement parts were not available at that time and I would be notified as soon as they were received at the dealership. I have made several calls to the dealership and these parts are still unavailable with no known availability date. I no longer feel comfortable driving my CRV realizing that a serious accident could occur at any time. The information I would request from Honda is: What is the timeline for replacement of the airbag inflators ( it now appears that the drivers side is also involved) and if this is excessive what would be the interim solution.

We have been waiting for airbag replacements for the Honda recall since January. Our dealer, jl freed in montgomeryville, pa has received one of the two airbags but has no idea when the other will be in. Over 90 days of waiting seems excessive for a recall requirement.

On 2/3/2015 I rec'd letters from Honda motor co stating that both front air bags possibly had life-threatening probs. I called local dealer, jeff wyler Honda, and new parts were ordered that day. Today, 4/17/15, the dealer still has not rec'd them. My complaint is that Honda co tells customer that their life is in danger if car is driven but doesn't fix prob! it's been 2 1/2 months! the dealer's hands are tied as Honda co tells them parts are back ordered- with no estimated delivery date. Maybe you can light a fire under Honda co!

Received NHTSA recalls 14V-349 & 14V-351. Called local dealer who said they had to order parts. It's been over 6 weeks, and today I was told it would take another 4-8 weeks to get parts. This recall is for airbags, which makes it a big safety concern. Not only are the airbags in my car faulty, but the company who issued the recall can't supply the proper parts to the local dealers. Honda should be fined big time!!! if I get in a crash and I am injured, Honda will have a huge lawsuit!

There are 2 recalls for my vehicle. I have been calling irvine norm reeves Honda to setup an appointment for these recalls. However, irvine norm reeves Honda has been telling me they have not been able to get the parts for the recalls for the last 6 months. I called in monthly and I am not sure I am wasting my time trying to get the car fixed. ///////////////////// www.normreeveshondairvine.com/ 16 auto center dr, irvine, ca 92618 (949) 830-7600 ///////////////////// NHTSA recall number: 14V-351 mfr campaign id: JG8 recall date: 06/19/2014 recall status: Recall incomplete NHTSA recall number: 14V-349 mfr campaign id: JJ8 recall date: 06/19/2014 recall status: Recall incomplete

Since I received the recall notice in January, I've been calling almost all Honda dealers in our area in san diego ca and they've been telling me that they don't have the parts necessary for the recall. I received a tentative service date on April 11, 2015 with the Honda dealer in mission valley but when I called today, they apparently have not received the ordered parts yet, so my schedule was cancelled. Same thing with the Honda dealer in el cajon. They said that they have no parts as of yet. We highly depend on this vehicle for travel and with the recall issue still unresolved for more than 3 months now, god forbid that we don't get into any accident. In case we do, again god forbid, I demand full responsibility from whoever is not acting fast enough in resolving this dangerous situation with our vehicle!
