I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE INITIAL NOTICE SINCE LAST 3 MONTHS AND YET NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT PROVIDING ME AN ALTERNATIVE/RENTAL MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. I TRAVEL 50 MILES, EVERYDAY. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR THAT I HAVE AND MY FIANCE CANNOT EVEN RIDE WITH ME, WITHOUT TAKING THE DANGER OF BEING KILLED BY THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. MY CAR ALSO SHOWS SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT, FOR WHICH DEALERS WANT $100 TO DIAGNOSE.

I WAS DRIVING ON I-40 TRAVELING TOWARDS WILMINTON, NC WHEN I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW THE TEMPERATURE LIGHT WAS REGISTERING HOT AND WAS IN THE RED ZONE. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO WILMINTON, NC. THE SHOP DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK. THEY CALLED HONDA TO SEE IF THE CAR WAS COVERED UNDER TSB 10-048 AND THEY WERE TOLD THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY ON MY CAR EXPIRED IN JULY. THE CAR HAS ONLY 66,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. THIS DEFECT CAN CAUSE THE CAR TO STOP RUNNING ANYWHERE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN RALEIGH ON I-40 THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY 2016 (OFFICIAL DATE MAY 23, 2016) DETAILING AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL ON MY 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE PROBLEM IS THAT "THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVER-AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG IS ACTIVATED." THE LETTER GOES ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS COULD CAUSE METAL FRAGMENTS TO PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION AND HARM THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT. THE ONLY OPTION GIVEN IN THE LETTER IS TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. ACCORDING TO THE LETTER, THE PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLE BY NOW. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHER PEOPLE'S SAFETY AS THEY RIDE IN MY CAR. ***TOO MUCH TIME HAS PASSED, AND I EXPECT IMMEDIATE REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE.***
