TAKATA RECALL I WAS INFORMED OF THE RECALL ON MY CAR IN JANUARY OF 2016. I CALLED MY NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP (CONCORD, CA) WHICH SAID THEY'D SEND ME A LETTER WHEN THEY GOT THE PARTS. THEY FINALLY FIXED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG IN JULY 2016. AT THAT TIME, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS NOT REPLACED AND THAT I'D GET ANOTHER LETTER IN THE MAIL ONCE THE PASSENGER PARTS WERE IN. IT'S JANUARY 2017 NOW AND I STILL HAVEN'T HEARD ANYTHING. I'M MOVING 6 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME IN AUGUST AND NEED MY CAR REPAIRED. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CALLED MY DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES TO FIND OUT ANY INFORMATION REGARDING GETTING THE AIRBAG REPLACED AND THE DEALER WILL NOT CALL ME BACK. I HAVE LEFT MULTIPLE MESSAGES THEY ARE LEFT UNANSWERED. THIS RECALL CAME OUT OVER A YEAR AGO AND IT STILL IS LEFT UNDONE. THE OTHER DEALERS AROUND THE AREA WON'T EVEN TAKE A LOOK AT IT. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE. THE DEALERS SHOULD NOT BE TREATING THE CUSTOMERS THIS WAY ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO SAFETY.

IT HAS BEEN RECALLED

2010 HONDA INSIGHT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REMEDY NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR DRIVER FRONT AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE. *SMD

PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG HAS BEEN UNDER A RECALL FOR MORE THAN SIX MONTHS. HONDA HAS NOT CONTACTED ME WITH A REPLACEMENT AIR BAG ESTIMATE .

TAKATA RECALL DEALER SAYS IT IS NOT RECEIVING PARTS FROM HONDA FOR THIS PROBLEM. IS THERE ANY WAY TO URGE HONDA TO MOVE FASTER. I SUSPECT THE CAR MAY WEAR OUT BEFORE THE DEALER RECEIVES PART TO EFFECT REPLACEMENT.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA INSIGHT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V061000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V346000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. IT HAS BEEN 9 MONTHS SINCE THE RECALL. HONDA HAS NOT SUFFICIENTLY PROVIDED A SOLUTION TO THE ISSUE. THEIR RECOMMENDATION OF HAVING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR SUCH A LONG PERIOD OF TIME IS NOT ONLY UNREALISTIC, IT IS ALSO INCONVENIENT AND ULTIMATELY, UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE RFOM HONDA OF AMERICA IN MARCH 2016 WARNING OF THE TAKATA PROBLEM. THEY STATED THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016 AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE A FURTHER NOTICE WHEN THEY WERE AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THAT LETTER. SO I CALLED HONDA OF AMERICA AND THEY COULD NOT TELL ME IF PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. THEY PASSED THE BUCK BY TELLING ME TO CALL MY DEALER. I DID SO AND FOUND THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. SO I HAVE SCHEDULED THE REPLACEMENT . MY COMPLAINT IS THE LACK OF RESPONSIVENESS ON THE PART OF HONDA AND MY DEALER. EITHER ONE SHOULD HAVE CONTACTED ME WHEN PARTS BECAME AVAILABLE. WHY IS HONDA MOTOR STILL ALLOWED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE USA. THEY ARE EITHER INEPT OR CROOKED!

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE, SAYING THAT I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN DEALER HAD THE REPLACEMENT PARTS WITH AN EXPECTED DATE OF SUMMER 2016. I EMAILED THE DEALERSHIP, BUT HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM THEM. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY PARKED IN GARAGE. I DON'T WANT TO SELL OR TRADE UNTIL THE CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT THIS HAS GONE ON FOR A VERY LONG TIME. I JUST CHECKED THE HONDA WEBSITE. THEIR COMPLETION RATE IS LESS THAN 50%, YET THEY ARE SEEMINGLY VERY HAPPY WITH THAT RATE! THAT'S OUTRAGEOUS!

TAKATA RECALL, I HAVE TWO CAR SEATS FOR MY SON AND DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT OF THE CAR WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR US TO FOLLOW HONDA'S SUGGESTION TO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. HONDA HAS STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING RENTAL VEHICLES. I'VE CONTACTED HONDA ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND BEEN GIVEN A CASE #. HOWEVER, IT HAS NOW BEEN 4 WEEKS SINCE MY INITIAL REQUEST FOR A RENTAL CAR WAIVER FROM HONDA AND NO ONE HAS RESPONDED TO MY CLAIM. UPON CALLING HONDA ON THE 11TH OF AUGUST, I WAS TOLD THAT NO ONE AT THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER COULD ACCESS CASE FILES. SO, NOW I CAN'T EVEN GET AN UPDATE ON THE PROGRESS.
