RECEIVED RECALL PAPER

WAS TOLD IN LETTER THAT THE 2008 HONDA ACCORD HAS A RECALLED AIRBAG THAT COULD KILL OR SERIOUSLY INJUR YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS. CALLED FRIENDLY HONDA OF POUGHKEEPSIE, NY AND THEY ARE NOT GIVING ANY APPOINTMENTS FOR OVER A WEEK. THEY ARE NOT GIVING A LOANER CAR UNTIL A WEEK. I AM CONCERNED THAT THEY ARE NOT HAVING THIS CAR BROUGHT IN IMMEDIATELY. WAITING FOR A WEEK FOR A SERIOUS RECALL TO ME IS DANGEROUS. I POINTED THIS OUT AND THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN THE DATE.

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A "SRS ECU FAILURE" RECALL NOTICE AND CONTACTED A HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR SUPPORT. THEY TOLD ME TO DISREGARD THE RECALL. I WENT TO A SECOND DEALERSHIP AND THEY REPLACED ONE PART BUT HAD TO "ORDER" ANOTHER. THAT SECOND PART STILL HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED AND IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR NOW.
