My dealer wants to turn off my airbags , while i'm waiting for the parts. Anyone else ?

Can't really see a dealer disabling a safety device. Defective or not. Does this happen? Possibly. Would I allow or do it? NO

 

[bigdogrod]

no no no no no....... as far as i've read this is not an approved remedy

he has any problems, tell them you are calling honda corporate and nhtsa to see what they have to say. get the loaner and motor on

Sounds like a rouge dealer to me....Carl, ask if there is a Honda directive authorizing this action?

A mod probably closed it after noticing that it was somewhat of a duplicate post.

That was my 1st post ? Only thing is maybe i placed it in the wrong area

Sure they can. But then you can't sit behind the disabled airbag... which sorta nullifies the benefit.

not 100% certain but I do believe it's against federal law for a dealer of any type (new car or used car) to disable a safety device such as an air bag, you may need to check further into this but I would not disable it.
