"TAKATA RECALL" MY "CHECK AIR BAG LIGHT" IS ON CONSTANTLY SINCE DECEMBER 2018. I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME IT IS MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG THAT IS AFFECTED. THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX MY AIR BAG, BECAUSE IT IS NOT UNDER RECALL. I HAVE NEVER, EVER, EVER HEARD OF A CAR THAT IS 3 1/2 YEARS OLD WITH 43,000 MILES THAT NEEDS A NEW AIR BAG? THIS CAR HAS NEVER, EVER, EVER BEEN IN A CAR ACCIDENT. THIS IS NOT NORMAL! HOW DOES AN AIR BAG GO BAD THAT HAS NEVER DEPLOYED??? I DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO BUY A NEW DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG. IF I DID HAVE THE MONEY, I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A BRAND NEW AIR BAG ON A NEW CAR. THE CAR HAS ONLY BEEN IN USE FOR 3 1/2 YEARS. I HAVE TO DRIVE MY NIECE WHO IS A SENIOR TO VISIT COLLEGES IN FLORIDA FOR SPRING BREAK ALL THE WAY FROM CONNECTICUT. I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR 4 FULL DAYS AND DRIVE AROUND FLORIDA AND BACK RISKING MY LIFE, HER LIFE AND HER BEST FRIEND'S LIFE. THAT IS NOT FAIR. IF I DIE, OR THE KIDS DIE, BECAUSE THEIR AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK, THAT IS NOT FAIR AND CRUEL. I PAID FOR A BRAND NEW CAR THAT ADVERTISED WORKING AIR BAGS, NOT A "LEMON". THE CAR MANUFACTURER AND TAKATA, IS BEING SHIELDED FROM HAVING TO PAY TO FIX ALL OF THESE DEFECTIVE AIR BAGS, WHILE HUMAN BEINGS WILL DIE TO SAVE THEM MONEY. I AM AFRAID FOR MY LIFE! I DO NOT WANT TO DIE, OR KILL MY PASSENGERS BY KNOWINGLY LET THEM RIDE IN MY VEHICLE THAT HAS DEFECTIVE, NON-FUNCTIONING, DEADLY AIR BAGS. MY CAR SUPPOSEDLY IS FINE. HOW COULD THAT BE? MY AIR BAGS DO NOT WORK! ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT THIS IS ALL JUST A BIG COINCIDENCE? HOW COULD A NEW CAR HAVE BROKEN TAKATA AIR BAGS? THAT DOES NOT SEEM UNUSUAL TO YOU? THIS IS COLD-BLOODED TO KNOW THAT BECAUSE OF MONEY MY LIFE IS EXPENDABLE. WHY ISN'T MY VIN NUMBER INCLUDED IN THE RECALL? I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO BUY A NEW AIR BAG(S) AND PAY FOR MANY HOURS OF LABOR AT HONDA. PLEASE HELP ME!!

NOTICING RIGHT NOW JUST THE INTERMITTENT STAGE OF THIS NEW CLUTCH NOISE ON AN UPHILL/INCLINE ALSO THE INCREDIBLY COMMON VTC ACTUATOR COLD START NOISE ON BASICALLY ALL K24 VARIATIONS, STILL RESEARCHING IF THESE TWO ARE CORRELATED WHICH I BELIEVE SO AT THIS MOMENT I WRITE THIS. I JUST BOUGHT THIS 15' CIVIC SI 9 MONTHS AGO, 06 OF 18' WITH JUST OVER 20K. HAD THE COLD START NOISE PROBABLY 5 OR 6 MONTHS IN AS IT BECOMES WINTER AND NOW I'M GETTING CLUTCH NOISES PLUS I FEEL SLIGHT DECREASE IN PERFORMANCE. FROM WHAT I'VE READ AND I'VE DONE WAY TOO MUCH RESEARCH, IT STARTS OUT AS A TYPICAL NOISE EVEN HONDA CANADA THEMSELVES CLAIM AS NOTHING BUT HAD LEAD TO CASES OF CATASTROPHIC FAILURE TO COMPLETE HEAD REPLACEMENTS TO COMPLETE CLUTCH REPLACEMENTS AND SOME CASES SOUNDS RETURNING DUE TO DEFECTIVE OEM DESIGN. CERTIFIED PRE OWNED WARRANTY ON MY VEHICLE: 2015 CIVIC SI HAVE YET TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN, ONCE AGAIN BEGUN NOTICING THIS WIDESPREAD ISSUE AT ONLY 27K MILES. PATHETIC

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
