Hi. Soon after I bought the car the steering wheel is making a loud cleacking noise. I took it to the Schaumburg Honda dealer and they replaced the cable reel under the airbag 4 times. They replaced the wrong part while the car was under the manufacturer warranty. Now the car has no warranty and they said honda knows about the faulty airbag and they do not want to replace it. When you turn the steering wheel to the right or to the left is making a loud cleacking noise. I have all the paperwork. Please help me so no one will get injured or killed on the road. Thank you.

"TAKATA RECALL" THE PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG OF OUR 2016 HONDA PILOT SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED AS MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH STRAIGHT ALONG ROUTE 195 IN MANSFIELD, CT ON MAY 11, 2019. AT THE TIME OF THE DEPLOYMENT SHE HAD PASSED OVER A STORM DRAIN THAT STICKS OUT INTO THE NARROW ROAD. THE DRAIN CAUSES A SLIGHT DEPRESSION IN THE ROADWAY, WHICH THE WHEELS ROLLED OVER. THERE WAS NO IMPACT. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. SHE MANAGED TO KEEP HER WITS ABOUT HER SO SHE DIDN'T GET HIT ON THE BUSY, NARROW ROAD. THE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS PRISTINE. THE INTERIOR IS A MESS. THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG IS DOWN, BLOCKING VISIBILITY, AND THE SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FROM THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT. THE DEPLOYMENT TOOK OUT THE HEADLINER AND TORE THE PASSENGER'S SEAT APART. OUR CAR HAS BEEN SITTING AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP AND NOW AT A BODY REPAIR FACILITY...
