WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON OUR HONDA CRV IN MARCH 2020. WE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT A POSSIBLE AIRBAG RECALL AND HAD BEEN ASSURED THAT OUR VEHICLE WASN'T AFFECTED, NOW HONDA HAS CHANGED THEIR STORY. WE HAVEN'T BEEN USING OUR CRV FOR FEAR OF A DEADLY ACCIDENT. WE ARE FRUSTRATED THAT PARTS FOR REPAIRING THIS WON'T BE AVAILABLE FOR NEARLY A YEAR. MOREOVER, THERE'S BEEN NO OFFER OF A LOANER CAR OR OTHER SUITABLE SHORT TERM REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. THEY SHOULD EITHER PROVIDE A TOTAL AIRBAG REPLACEMENT, OR A LOANER CAR FOR THE DURATION AT THEIR COST.

I WAS NOTIFIED IN MARCH THAT MY HONDA CR'V'S AIR BAG WAS RECALLED AND COULD BE POTENTIALLY DEADLY OR INEFFECTIVE IN A CRASH.

WHERE CAN I FIND THE COMPLAINT FORM FOR A VEHICLE UNDER RECALL THAT THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER ARE REFUSING TO FIX?? I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER DATED MARCH 2020 FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTORS. MY SON DRIVES THIS VEHICLE AND I BECAME VERY ALARMED. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND WE HAVE BEEN STRUGGLING SINCE. I CALLED HONDA'S CUSTOMER SUPPORT & CAMPAIGN CENTER AT THE NUMBER ON THE RECALL LETTER ON 3-18-20 AT 11:18AM AND PROVIDED THE VIN. I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER #10315713. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM THEM SINCE. I CONTACTED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER, [XXX] ON 3-18-20 AT 11:22 AM AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND THAT THEY KNEW PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR OVER ONE YEAR!! I CONTACTED "[XXX]" AT NHTSA ON 3-18-20 AT 12:08 AM MTN TIME AND SHE WAS UNHELPFUL AND UNINFORMED. I CALLED MY INSURANCE AGENT AT STATE FARM AND THEY ADVISED TO SUSPEND THE INSURANCE. I DON'T WANT ANYONE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED BUT THE HONDA DEALER, THE CORPORATE HONDA OFFICE AND NHTSA IS DOING NOTHING!! I NOW HAVE A VEHICLE I PAID $6000 FOR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS?? SHOULD I CONTACT AN ATTORNEY?? PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AN OFFICIAL AND VERY REAL COMPLAINT AGAINST THE AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY INC. 1919 TORRANCE BLVD, TORRANCE CALIFORNIA 90509. WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

COMPLAINT ON HOW THE DEALER IS HANDLING THE RECALL. THE ISSUE THAT THE DEALER ISN'T ORDERING PARTS TO SUPPORT THE RECALL AND CALLING THE OWNER WHEN THE PARTS COME IN. THEY ARE RELYING ON THE CUSTOMER FORGETTING TO CONTINUE TO CALL EACH MONTH TO DETERMINE IF THE DEALER HAS BEEN SENT PARTS THAT THEY HAVEN'T ORDERED. THIS JUST TURNS INTO A BLACK HOLE FOR THE CUSTOMER WITHOUT ANY EXPECTATION THE RECALL WILL GET DONE. *TR

THE 2 FRONT AIRBAG INFLATORS DID NOT INFLATE IN A FRONT END COLLISION, ON CAMPBELL RD ON 12/4/15,THEY ONLY POPPED OUT ABOUT A COUPE OF INCHES AND FRONT SEAT BELT WILL NOT ADJUST NOW. I SAW THERE IS A RECALL/FIX PROBLEM FOR HONDA'S CR-V FROM 2002 TO 2011 BUT NOTHING LISTED EARLIER THAN 2002.
MY DAUGHTER REAR ENDED SOMEONE AND HER AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE HOOD COULD NOT EVEN BE CLOSED. SHE WAS NOT HURT AND WE LET IT GO..BUT NOW I WONDER IF THERE IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THE AIRBAG SAFETY. WE STILL OWN THE CAR AND IT HAS IT'S ORIGINAL DAMAGE. CAN YOU PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS OR HOW WE SHOULD PROCEED? *TR
MY 1999 HONDA CR-V HAS THE SRS LIGHT ON. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THERE IS AN INTERNAL FAILURE IN THE SRS UNIT. THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY AND WILL COST $826 TO REPAIR. I DID NOT ABUSE THIS SYSTEM. I HAVE NEVER EVEN SEEN THE AIR BAGS OR SRS UNIT. IF THE SEATBELTS HAVE TO FUNCTION THEN THE AIRBAGS SHOULD HAVE TO FUNCTION ALSO. I CANNOT AFFORD THIS REPAIR. PLEASE NOTE ALL THE OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT HONDA SRS FAILURES REPORTED ON THE INTERNET AND REQUIRE HONDA TO REPAIR THESE FOR FREE AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR
