I do not believe they fixed my recall completely and believe my vehicle has several other recalled issues at hand. Including the transmission not working properly.

NHTSA complaint #10888067, filed 2016-07, 157,459 miles“My son had an accident while driving my 2001 Honda Accord. The driver airbag did not deploy, but the passenger airbag did deploy, even though there was not a passenger in the vehicle. Also, the seat belts locked up. The accident was on 12-2-06 and I have tried two different dealerships to find out why the driver airbag did not deploy. They will not give me an explaination and they will not fix the seatbelts until I replace the airbags, which I cannot afford.”
