2009 Acura TSX Air Bags & Restraints Problems

Air Bag light shows on dash but when driving the air bad light flashes off and on. It happens often

I RECEIVED A TAKATA RECALL AND WENT TO ROSENTHAL ACURA TO GET IT REPLACED. THAT WAS COMPLETED BY ROSENTHAL. I THINK THAT WAS AROUND A YEAR AGO. ON 04/23/2018 I REAR-ENDED ANOTHER CAR. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. MY SPEED AT IMPACT PROBABLY WAS ABOUT 30-25 MPH. THE CAR I HIT WAS STATIONARY. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. WHY NOT?

THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT STOPPED CATCHING BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC CAP COVERING THE MECHANISM CAME LOOSE. THE CAP HOLDS WITH LITTLE PLASTIC PEGS WHICH AREN'T VERY STRONG AND KEEP POPPING OUT. I FIXED IT BY REPLACING ONE WITH A SCREW BUT IT SHOULD BE MANUFACTURED MORE SECURELY TO BEGIN WITH. THE DRIVERS SEAT BELT IS A MAJOR PART OF VEHICLE SAFETY AND SHOULD BE MADE MORE STURDY THAN IT IS. THIS HAPPENED WITH REGULAR USE OF THE SEAT BELT AND NOT DURING ANY ACCIDENT.

NO NOTIFICATIONS

"TAKATA RECALL" THE AIRBAG DASH LIGHTS CAME BACK ON IN THE VEHICLE AGAIN SHORTLY (APPROXIMATELY 1-2 WEEKS) AFTER THE ACURA DEALERSHIP PERFORMED THE RECALL REPAIR TO THE AIRBAGS. THE VEHICLE WAS IMMEDIATELY TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION.

I LIVE IN NAPLES, ITALY. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MY CAR FIXED FOR THE TAKATA RECALL. IN APRIL, 2017, I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THEY ORDERED THE PART, BUT IT NEVER ARRIVED. I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA, AND THEY REPORTED THAT THE PARTS DISTRIBUTOR FOR ALL OF EUROPE HAS RUN OUT OF THE PART I NEED. IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS. HOW DO I GET MY CAR FIXED?
