THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG HIT MY CHEST WITH SUCH FORCE THAT MY STERNUM WAS FRACTURE AND BRUISE THROUGH OUT MY CHEST. I HAVE BEING HAVING SEVERE PAIN FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS. THE ROAD IS AND UPHILL CURVE WHICH THE SPEED LIMIT IS 25 MILES AND IS TWO LANE ROAD THE VEHICLE BEHIND ME HAD LIGHTS ON WHICH I BELIEVE ALSO WERE A FACTOR BECAUSE THE LIGHTS REFLECTED ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR AND WAS TO CLOSE. WILL SUMMIT A CHP REPORT WHEN NECESSARY.

I WAS NOTIFIED BY LETTER EARLIER THIS YEAR ABOUT THE JY1 RECALL AND I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK. THE PARTS WERE SUPPOSED TO BECOME AVAILABLE THIS SUMMER AND THE WEBSITE IS STILL SHOWING THAT A REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE. I DON'T WANT TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIR BAG DEPLOY AND KILL MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE WHILE DRIVING. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT IS EXTREME AS OTHERS HAVE LOST LIVES DUE TO RECALLS NOT HAVING BEEN COMPLETED.

Aug 23, 2016

TAKATA RECALL EARLIER THIS YEAR, I RECEIVED A NOTICE CONCERNING THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR MY 2012 HONDA FIT. I FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS ON THE RECALL AND CONTACTED MY DEALER (BELLA AUTO INTERNATIONAL, IN PUERTO RICO) TO PROCESS THE RECALL. I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE, PURSUANT TO THE TERMS OF THE LETTER I WAS SENT, I DO NOT BELIEVE THE DEALER HAS FIXED THE PROBLEM IN A "REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME," WHICH THE LETTER DEFINES AS 60 DAYS FROM THE DAY I FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALER. I ESTIMATE THAT IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN 100 DAYS SINCE I CONTACTED THE DEALER. MY PATIENCE HAS RUN OUT. ALTHOUGH I DILIGENTLY TURN THE CAR ON EVERY SO OFTEN, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE IT AROUND TO ENSURE THE CAR DOES NOT GET DAMAGED BY SITTING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD. FURTHER, MY REGISTRATION STICKER WILL EXPIRE IN AUGUST, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TAKE THE CAR FOR AN INSPECTION. THE RENTAL CAR THE DEALER PROVIDED HAS AN UNPLEASANT SMELL, AND THE BRAKES ARE SQUEAKY AND SHUDDER. ALTHOUGH MY WIFE HAS CALLED THE DEALER ALMOST EVERY WEEK TO CHECK THE STATUS (THE CAR IS HERS), THE DEALER HAS JUST RESPONDED WITH DELAY TACTICS. FURTHER, WHEN WE HANDED THE CAR TO THE DEALER, THE PERSON WHO ATTENDED US MADE AN ODD COMMENT. WE WERE TOLD THAT THE DEALER WAS REPLACING THE AIRBAGS IN THE LUXURY BRAND VEHICLES FIRST (E.G. ACURA, ETC), AND THAT OUR BUDGET BRAND VEHICLES WOULD BE ATTENDED TO LAST. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS TRUE, BUT IT CERTAINLY WARRANTS INVESTIGATION. LASTLY, THE WEEK BEFORE WE HANDED THE CAR TO THE DEALER, WE HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN DUE TO A CHECK-ENGINE LIGHT. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT SOMETHING REGARDING THE FUEL CAP OR VALVE WAS DAMAGED, AND THAT IT REQUIRED A $140 PART TO REPLACE. WE PLACED THE ORDER ON THE PART THAT WEEK. INCREDIBLY, THE PART HAS NOT YET ARRIVED. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ANY MORE INFORMATION.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN I AM WRITING TO YOU BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WAITING TO GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED I UNDERSTAND IT IS IN HIGH DEMAND AND CAN TAKE SOME TIME BUT WHAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IS THE TERRIBLE SERVICE I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH. NOT ONLY AM I REQUIRED TO TAKE TIME OFF TO WORK TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP ( MOSS BROS MORENO VALLEY CA) I AM RECEIVING THE WORST SERVICE. I HAVE SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER WHO SEEMS TO REALLY NOT CARE ABOUT THE SERVICE HIS EMPLOYEES ARE GIVING. I WAS TOLD SEVERAL TIMES NEXT NEXT NEXT WEEK ITS GETTING TO A POINT WHERE I AM NOT COMFORTABLE GOING TO THIS DEALERSHIP I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO FILE A COMPLAIN BECAUSE I AM AFRAID THEY WILL BE NOTIFIED AND DAMAGE MY VEHICLE I RECENTLY HAD MY FATHER PASS AWAY SO I AM DEALING WITH ALLOT THE LAST THING I NEED IS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE DEALERSHIP I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANOTHER OPTION TO FIXING MY CAR AND SO I CAN GO MORE IN TO DETAIL ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I ALSO FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AS I WAS ALMOST BEING FORCED INTO DRIVING MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN I SIGNED A FORM SAYING I WOULDN'T DRIVE IT AND I TOLD HIM I WASN'T COMFORTABLE HE KEPT TRYING TO GET ME TO DRIVE IT AND I TOLD HIM NO I WASN'T GOING TO UNTIL HE WOULD GIVE ME A DOCUMENT SAYING HE WOULD COVER HE THAN SAID HE WOULD CALL ME BACK AND NEVER DID.
