IF SOMEONE HAS THIS VEHICLE AND GETS INJURED DUE TO NON-NOTIFICATION OF A RECALL, AND I SHOW HOW LONG I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO STOP THESE LETTERS COMING TO MY HOUSE SO YOU CAN FIND THE RIGHT PERSON, SOMEONE WILL BE SERIOUSLY LIABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA PILOT. WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE DRIVER'S SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG AND DRIVER'S SEAT AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING OR AN IMPACT. ALSO, THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT TIGHTENED UP UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CONTACT SWERVED THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY DUE TO BEING CONSTRICTED BY THE SEAT BELT. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED.

TAKATA INFLATORS: AFTER HITTING A ROADSIDE OBJECT AT A COUNTY ROAD TURNING INTO A COMMUNITY, THE STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THAT CAN BE ACCEPTED, BUT THE AIRBAG WAS NOT INFLATED. I BURSTED, NOT BLOWED OUT SIMPLY WITH THE BAG ITSELF WITHOUT AIR. AFTER TALKING TO HONDA, THEY REPEAT THAT THE INFLATION PROCESS COME AND GO QUICKLY. I KNOW THAT IT COME AND GO QUICKLY. BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT IT WAS NOT INFLATED AT ALL. AS A SCIENTIST AND ENGINEER WHO KNOWS HOW TO DO EXPERIMENTS, WHO KNOWS WHAT CAN BE A HUMAN BIAS, WHO KNOWS THE SPEED OF HUMAN REACTIONS, THE ONLY THING I CAN SAY IS THAT I WAS SURE AND AM SURE, THE BAG WAS NOT INFLATED ENOUGH. I CANNOT TELL HOW MUCH IT WAS INFLATED, MY IMPRESSION WAS THAT IT WAS INFLATED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 5-10 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS VIRTUALLY STOPPED WHEN THE AIRBAG WAS DEPLOYED. THE BAG DID NOT TOUCH ANY PART OF MY BODY BESIDES MY RIGHT ARM. MY BODY DID NOT MOVE FORWARD AT ALL AS THE SPEED OF AT HITTING WAS NOT HIGH ENOUGH TO MOVE MY BACK AWAY FROM THE SEAT. THE AIRBAG DID NOTHING BUT BURNING MY RIGHT ARM, CAUSING A SECOND DEGREE BURN. NOTE THAT, THE AIRBAG WAS SERVICED BECAUSE THE RECALL. IN OTHER WORDS, IT IS NOT THE ORIGINAL AIRBAG WHICH WAS RECALLED, IT IS THE NEW ONE. THE PROBLEM IS EITHER CAUSED BY THE PRODUCT ITSELF OR BY INSTALLATION. IN ANY CASES, IT IS A DEFECTED PRODUCT THAT DOES NOTHING WHEN DEPLOYED BUT HARM.

I CONTACTED MCLARTY HONDA IN LITTLE ROCK, AR 888-671-6895 DURING THE LAST WEEK OF JULY, 2016 REGARDING THE AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL. THEY TOLD ME IT WOULD BE ABOUT TWO WEEKS FOR THE PART TO ARRIVE AND WOULD CALL WHEN IN. AFTER SEVERAL WEEKS AND NO CALL, I CALLED THEM AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE STILL NOT IN. TO DATE, 10/2/2016 THE HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME WITH AN UPDATE. PER THE RECALL NOTICE, IT AFTER 60 DAYS THE RECALL IS NOT RESOLVED, CONTACT THE NHTSA, WHICH I'M DOING. PLEASE ASSIST WITH GETTING A RESOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. THANKS.

RAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY CAR TO HONDA OF CHANTILLY FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY DID THE WORK AND GAVE ME MY CAR BACK. WHILE IT WAS IN THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, AND I ASKED FOR THE OLD ONE BACK SO I COULD RETURN IT TO THE STORE WHERE I PURCHASED IT FOR A REFUND. WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY CAR TO LEAVE, THE OLD BATTERY WASN'T IN IT. I CHECKED AND THEY HADN'T REPLACED MY BATTERY. TURNS OUT THEY DID THE AIRBAG RECALL AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT ON SOMEONE ELSE'S CAR. THEY HAD RECORDED THAT THEY HAD PERFORMED THE RECALL AND SENT ME ON MY WAY, AND IF I HADN'T ASKED FOR MY OLD BATTERY BACK NOBODY WOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT I STILL HAD THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE. THEY DIDN'T CHECK THE VIN WHEN THEY DID THE WORK.

"TAKATA RECALL" AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, HONDA REPLACED THE PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR, AND THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON THEY RESET THE CODES THE LIGHT WENT OFF FOR 1 DAY. HONDA THEN DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH SHOWED THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG FAILED. HONDA SAID DUE TO AGE OF PILOT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE IT UNDER RECALL. AIRBAG LIGHT STILL IS ON WHICH DOESN'T ALLOW THE OTHER AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. HONDA TOLD US THE COST WOULD BE $638.18. DUE TO SAFETY FACTOR I FEEL HONDA SHOULD REPLACE THE AIRBAG FREE OF CHARGE DUE TO THE SAFETY FACTOR OF THE RIDERS IN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WE ARE NOT PROTECTED.
