HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. SAFETY RISK: IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY TO VEHICLE OCCUPANT.

TAKATA RECALL, WAITING OVER 6 MONTHS FOR MY DEALER (PACIFIC HONDA) TO GET IN THE REPLACEMENT PARTS.... I AM NOT ABLE TO HAVE PASSENGERS SIT IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT.

TAKATA RECALL RECALL FOR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS ISSUED 5/23/16. RECALL NOTED THAT REMEDY PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND WAS TOLD PARTS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS NOW BEEN 8 MONTHS WITH NO REMEDY AVAILABLE, WHICH IS EXTREMELY TROUBLESOME AS HONDA RECOMMENDS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THE VEHICLE, BUT FEAR I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO, OR WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT A MUCH LOWER SALE PRICE, DUE TO THE OPEN RECALL. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - HONDA HAS NOT ISSUED A FIX. HAVE BEEN WAITING 8 MONTHS (SINCE MAY 2016).

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL SOMETIME THE BEGINNING OF 2016. THEY STATED THAT THE REMEDY WOULD BE READY LATE SUMMER OR EARLY FALL 2017. IT ADVISED ME TO NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL IS TAKEN CARE OF. IT IS NOW MID JANUARY 2017 AND NO WORD. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT, WITH A FAMILY OF 5, FOR SOMEONE TO NOT BE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT SEEMS THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS A A HIGHER PRIORITY AND TAKE CARE OF THIS IMMEDIATELY. STILL WAITING FOR ANY INFORMATION FROM THEM.

TAKATA RECALL: WE RECEIVED OUR RECALL NOTICE EARLIER THIS YEAR FOR A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM. WE WERE TOLD REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY SUMMER/EARLY FALL. IT IS DECEMBER 14 AND WE ARE STILL WAITING. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE TO DRIVE OUR CAR, CANNOT USE THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, AND ARE WORRIED AND FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY WITH THIS VEHICLE WHILE WE WAIT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND WE ARE EXTREMELY FED UP WITH THE SITUATION. NOT ONLY THIS, BUT WE ARE CLASSIFIED AS A HIGH RISK DUE TO THE PART OF THE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN (GEORGIA) AND ARE SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE PRIORITY TREATMENT DUE TO OUR HEAT AND HIGH HUMIDITY, WHICH ARE APPARENTLY A FACTOR WITH THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG(S). EVERY TIME WE CALL OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY STATE THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE YET. PLEASE HELP!

TAKATA RECALL THE RECALL OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS SUPPOSED TO BE AVAILABLR BY LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016. IT'S ALMOST THE END OF THE YEAR AND THE HONDA RECALL PAGE STILL SAYS RECALL STATUS: RECALL INCOMPLETE. REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE.

TAKATA INFLATORS -- AIRBAG RECALL LETTER RECEIVED JULY 2016 WHICH SAID PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL. LETTER SAID "HONDA WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER LETTER WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE". IT'S MID DECEMBER NOW AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A "PARTS AVAILABLE" LETTER FROM HONDA. VERY INCONVENIENT TO "AVOID HAVING PASSENGER IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". JUST CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE HAD PARTS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THEY DON'T KNOW WHY HONDA NEVER SENT THE SECOND LETTER. IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE BEEN AT RISK AND INCONVENIENCED. THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE ON THEIR PART AND THERE SHOULD BE FOLLOW UP. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I'M NOT SURE WHAT CONSTITUTES A TIMELY RECALL OR REPAIR, BUT IT'S BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE ANYBODY HAS BEEN ABLE TO SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT AND I'M SICK OF LOOKING LIKE AN UBER DRIVER. I'M ALSO NOT CONVINCED THAT THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IS SAFE, AND I'D RATHER NOT RECEIVE A MOLTEN HUNK OF METAL THROUGH MY NECK FOR THE SIN OF HAVING A FENDER BENDER. ALL IN ALL I AM A VERY UNHAPPY HONDA OWNER. ,

I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT MY CAR'S PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE ABOUT IT. OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (BILL KAY HONDA, BRADLEY ILLINOIS) IS AWARE OF MY VEHICLE AND THE RECALL. *THE DATE LISTED BELOW IS AN ESTIMATE.

TAKATA RECALL - INITIAL LETTER DETAILING THE PROBLEM WAS RECEIVED MAY 23 2016 STATING THAT A REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE LATE SUMMER/FALL 2016. AS OF 10/31/16 THE NHTSA WEBSITE STILL SHOWS REMEDY UNAVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE - I CAN NO LONGER AFFORD TO NOT USE THE FULL FUNCTION OF MY VEHICLE, SPECIFICALLY USING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. 5 MONTHS IS TOO LONG WHEN WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE I LIVE IN A HOT AND RELATIVELY HUMID CLIMATE.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED AN INITIAL LETTER ALERTING ME OF THE DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THESE AIRBAGS. HOWEVER, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL LETTER LETTING ME KNOW THAT I CAN NOW GET THIS PART FIXED. THE ONLINE VIN CHECK STILL SHOWS THAT THE REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE STILL, BUT IT IS TERRIFYING TO KEEP DRIVING AROUND KNOWING THAT PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
