On October 16, 2021, my wife drove the car on the way home, then there was a sudden sound (like a huge fan) and a rough vibration from the engine. The battery light turned on. Then she had a hard time steering the wheel. It was really stiff. She made very wide turns, occupying multiple spaces and lanes. She can't totally control the car. When we arrived home, we popped the hood and found out that all the 3 belts in the engine were off. We just called our insurance today Oct 17 to have it towed to our mechanic. This car passed state inspection last Aug 2022 and we were able to take off 1 belt which seems to be in good condition. We also had 1 belt replaced last 2020.

Honda sent me a letter in the mail telling me my car's driver airbag may not be working correctly. They said they didn't have parts to repair it yet and that they would reach out when they had them. That was in march and now it's august. It's almost a half year now that I've been driving a car that might not even have a working air bag in it. I've called them multiple times asking about it and they just say they don't have them and they can't even give me a time frame for when they might. This IS just not acceptable for a recall on the driver airbag. They won't even give me any options to stay safe other than don't drive the car.

Several weeks ago, my car was recalled. because of the car's history, the air bag inflator IS more likely than average to kill me if it activates (explodes). the dealerships in my area (there are several) cannot obtain replacement parts...needed to fix the problem...for 18 to 24 months. this delay IS due to manufacturing issues and the coronavirus pandemic. my car IS not designed to allow the installation of an on/off switch for the air bags. therefore, I would like to have the exploder disabled until replacement parts are available. none of the dealerships in my area will do this, without written authorization from the nhtsa. I've been trying to fins a way to ask the nhtsa to send me a written deactivation authorization. also...the dealership would need instructions on how this (disabling the bomb in my steering wheel) can be done without affecting the normal operation of the car. I would need approved directions from the nhtsa to give to the dealership's mechanics. alternately, I can continue to drive my car on a daily basis, in the presence of an active, deadly, explosive device...for the next 18 to 24 months. *tr

I emailed them and asked if they would provide me with a free (safe) loaner vehicle until they could fix my unsafe vehicle. they called me on the phone today, march 24, 2020 (1-888-234-2138) and said that they would not provide a loaner vehicle, and that they were sorry, but the repair of my vehicle might take another year from today. I don't find this acceptable, that I have to drive a vehicle that might injure or kill me.....for another year.

According to nhtsa recall number 20v-027, my vehicle IS equipped with a defective airbag that, if deployed in an accident, could seriously injure or kill me. Honda states that free recall inspections and free repairs will not begin for one year, as alternative replacement parts are not yet available. What am I supposed to do until then? I travel around 200 miles weekly for work, and I cannot afford to buy another car. I feel like I'm risking my life every time I step in my car now. Would I be better off just removing the airbag myself?
