Problems with 2005 Honda Civic AIR BAGS

i took my car into the honda dealer in hollywood florida by appointment and was told that i had to leave my car with them indefinitely for no more than 30 days because they did not have enough "bags" to make the recall repair. this creates a hardship for me because i need my car for work, grocery shopping and emergencies should one occur. i complied by making an appointment, waiting until that day under risk of accident because of the defective airbag, and showing up on time. the honda rep. did not acknowledge my appointment and informed me that i can leave the car or refuse to leave it. i am currently stranded without a car with no idea when i would get my car back and i was not given a receipt or document stating that i had left my car at the dealership. only a business card from the representative who took possession of my car. i feel this interrupts my ability to survive and puts me in danger should an emergency occur and i need to get to a hospital. it is not my error and i should not be forced into this precarious position by threat of voiding honda's responsibility to correct this fault in the car by refusing to leave it at the honda shop for up to 30 days. the repair should be done immediately or a rental should be provided at honda's cost. *tr
