“A recall notice was sent to me in march/2020. I have contacted a local Honda dealer, and continue to get the same response that no parts are available a company this large should have come up with a solution by now. I'm getting to the point of being afraid to drive my vehicle. Please have them remedy this situation!”

The air shield underneath the front of the van came down and hit one of the tracks. This caused the air bags to deploy. My mechanic was concerned that this would cause the air bags to deploy.”
NHTSA complaint #10168861, filed 2006-09, 94,470 miles“The srs warning light stays on all the time when the car is running for my 1999 Honda Odyssey lx. It was sent to the dealer and had dt code 1-1. Further check by the dealer in the second visit resulted in the diagnosis for cable reel replacement in the steering wheel. The charge for the initial diagnostics was $95 plus tax and the charge for parts and labor for the replacement of cable reel will be another $250. The cable reel in the steering wheel should not be damaged by normal driving for a vehicle at 54k miles. It has to be due to the bad design and/or manufacturing. …”
