I just sold my 2002 Honda CRV back in May (to Carmax, not an individual) It was having power steering issues anyway among other issues. Glad I got they money I did for it. I probably wouldn't get that today with the recall. They gave me much more than I would have gotten elsewhere or as a trade in.

We have a Honda Pilot but it's a 2005.

I would prefer a vehicle without airbags. I wonder if there is a way to remove them completely.

I have a 2002 Honda CRV still going strong. Luckily I got my airbags done about a year ago when I first heard of the recall. But it took a lot of calling to Honda Corporation by me to get the parts sent to my Honda dealer so they could do it.

I think they were/are made by the same company. If so, their ability to continue to do so should be cancelled. The concept of air bags is for protection, not to enhance injuries.

To some manufacturers  "buck" now is a million $$$$, and they will risk human harm and lives for that "buck" unfortunately.

I have the recalled airbags and have been waiting a long time for replacement.They told me that they are really far behind due to the large amount of recalls and are waiting for the new bags to be available.

Previously had a 2002 Acura TL.  I put off taking my car back for the recall (2008-2011) until I got a phone call from Honda Corporation in California.  Nice young man made all the arrangements and scheduled the appointment at a local dealer.

Don't know what made me so special...but I was surprised to get a phone call and figured if it was that important to them then I better comply.

Unfortunately that same model had problematic transmissions. Mine had an extended coverage until 2010.  It failed in 2013 with 49,000 miles.  I was heart sick. I loved that car.  Replaced the transmission (costly) and traded it in.

I did receive an announcement from Honda about my 2009 CR-V for the airbag recall.  They said I would receive another announcement when the replacements were available this summer.  So far no word.  I have contacted the local Honda dealer and they have not contacted me yet for an appointment to get the airbag replaced.  Frustrating!

I always feel slightly uncomfortable sitting in a car with airbags.  I know that they are handy in a bad accident, but I feel uneasy just driving around here and there in slow traffic.  Wishing all driving (and other) safety.
