AND 11 HOURS LATER THEY SAID THE AIRBAG UNIT IN THE STEERING WHEEL HAD FAILED AND BECAUSE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE I COULD LEAVE WITH THE CAR WE WILL GIVE YOU A RENTAL, AND I COULD PICK MY CAR UP IN A DAY OR 2, I SAID OK, THEN THAT DAY TURNED INTO ANOTHER THEN ANOTHER, THEN AFTER ME DRIVING BACK TO THE DEALER SHIP AND WAITING ANOTHER 4 HOURS WHILE THEY FIGURED OUT WHAT TO DO I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART HONDA HAS NOT EVEN RELEASED YET, AND THE RELEASE DATE IS JUNE 4TH, I WAS LIVID, I TOLD THEM THEY NEED TO PUT ME IN ANOTHER ONE, THAT THIS WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL BECAUSE THIS WAS THE 4TH HONDA I GOT FROM THEM, THEY TOLD ME THEY LIKE TO TRY AND FIX IT, I SAID BY THE TIME I GET IT MY FIRST PAYMENT ON THE CAR WOULD ALMOST BE DUE, THEY SAID WELL LET ME SEE IF WE CAN FIGURE SOMETHING OUT, CALL US NEXT WEDNESDAY AND TALK TO THEM AGAIN, I AM SO MAD THAT HONDA DOES NOT EVEN MAKE THESE PARTS AVAILABLE ON A CAR THAT HAS BEEN OUT FOR 8 MONTHS, I LEFT IN THE RENTAL AND CALLED HONDA AND WAS TOLD THEY NORMALLY DO THIS ON NEWER CARS, BUT WE WILL GIVE YOU CALL BACK AFTER THE HOLIDAY, TO DATE STILL WAITING ON MY CAR THAT I HAVE NEVER EVEN GOT TO TAKE HOME, SOMEONE NEEDS TO INFORM HONDA THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE THESE PART AVAILABLE WHEN THE CARS ARE.
