NHTSA ODI 11690307

There have been multiple airbag system warning lights on my Honda Fit over the past couple of months. Initially, the driver side airbag inflator warning illuminated and I was able to reset it. Now the passenger side inflator is setting off the warning and it won't reset.

RECIEVED 2 RECALL NOTICES, ONE IN FEB 2016 (DRIVER SIDE), THE 2ND IN JULY 2016 (PASSENGER SIDE). THE 2ND NOTICE STATED TO AVOID PLACING PERSONS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER LATE JULY - AT OUR REQUEST THEY SUPPLIED A RENTAL CAR PENDING RECEIPT OF REPAIR PARTS. I HAVE NOW BEEN CONTACTED THAT REPAIR PARTS FOR THE DRIVER SIDE ONLY HAVE BEEN RECEIVED, AND THAT HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT CAR ONCE DRIVER SIDE IS REPAIRED, WITH NO FIRM ETA ON PARTS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. I CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA TO OPEN A CASE BUT WAS TOLD NOT TO EXPECT TO HEAR BACK FROM ANYONE ANYTIME SOON. SO I WILL BE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE DRIVING A CAR WITH DEFECTIVE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS, AND THE BAND-AID SOLUTION IS TO NOT HAVE FULL USE OF MY VEHICLE FOR AN INDETERMINATE PERIOD OF TIME.
