I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH OF 2016 SAYING THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE. IT SAYS THAT "THE REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT DRIVER'S AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016." AT THAT TIME I WILL RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER TELLING ME TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THE SUMMER IS QUICKLY WANING TO A CLOSE SO YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE DEALER IN PERSON (JL FREED IN MONTGOMERYVILLE, PA) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE STILL MONTHS BEHIND, THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THEIR CARS THERE FOR 3 MONTHS. I DO NOT SEE THIS AS AN ACCEPTABLE SITUATION AND THINK HONDA SHOULD TAKE THIS CAR BACK NOW WITHOUT PENALTY. THEY CLEARLY CANNOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY WIFE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT, BUT HONDA IS NOT LIVING UP TO ITS PROMISE. I DO NOT THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AN INCIDENT HAPPENS TO GET A SAFE CAR, NOR DO I WANT TO BE SENDING PHOTOS AS A WIDOWER. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL THE PARTS HAVE BEEN UNAVAILABLE FOR OVER 6 MONTHS NOW FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY. IT IS UNREASONABLE THAT A MANUFACTURER CAN LET PEOPLE WAIT THIS LONG FOR SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO MAKE MORE PARTS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
