TAKATA RECALL NOTICE OF RECALL RECEIVED JUNE 2016 IN JULY 2016 I CALLED NORTHWEST HONDA OF OWINGS MILLS TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT TO HAVE RECALLED PART REPLACED AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED OF ITS ARRIVAL VIA EMAIL NOTIFICATION OF PART ARRIVAL IN PINK CARD RECEIVED IN THE MAIL ON 11/1/16, 4 MONTHS AFTER THE RECALL NOTICE. APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED WITH APPOINTMENT DESK AT NORTHWEST HONDA OF OWINGS MILLS UPON RECEIPT OF CARD FOR 11/8/16 TO REPLACE AIR BAG. UPON ARRIVAL AT NORTHWEST HONDA I WAS TOLD THE APPOINTMENT WAS NEVER SCHEDULED, THEY WERE BOOKED AND I HAD THE OPTION TO WAIT 2 HOURS TO BE SERVICED. I HAVE WAITED 5 MONTHS FOR A RECALLED PART TO BE REPLACED IN MY CAR AND AFTER WAITING 5 MONTHS I AM TOLD TO WAIT 2 ADDITIONAL HOURS AFTER THE DEALER MADE A MISTAKE IN THEIR SCHEDULING. I REQUESTED FOR THE EXISTING DEFECTIVE AIRBAG TO BE REMOVED AND WAS ADVISED THIS CANNOT BE DONE BECAUSE IT IS AGAINST THE LAW. I REQUESTED FOR THE PART TO BE GIVEN TO ME SO I CAN HAVE ANOTHER DEALERSHIP INSTALL IT, I WAS TOLD THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED BY LAW TO DO THIS EITHER. SO I AM FORCED TO WAIT FOR NORTHWEST HONDA TO NOT MESS UP MY RESCHEDULED APPOINTMENT ON 11/21, OR GET RID OF THE PART WHICH PER PINK NOTIFICATION WILL ONLY BE ON HOLD UNTIL 11/14.

ON JUNE 2015 I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE FROM BRANDON HONDA DEALER. IN DECEMBER 2015 MY VEHICLE STARTED TO GIVE ME SOME PROBLEMS, ALIGNMENT, TIRES, ENGINE, INSTABILITY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING IN THE HIGHWAY. THE DEALER EXPECTED ME TO PAY OVER 1,000 DOLLARS FOR THE REPAIRS, HOWEVER THEY DID FIXED THEM AT NO COST. NOW JUNE 2016, ONE YEAR AFTER PURCHASE MY CAR STILL HAVING MAJOR PROBLEMS, TIRES, INSTABILITY WHEN DRIVING AND ALIGNMENT ISSUES. WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE FOR OIL SERVICE ON JUNE 2016 I EXPRESSED THAT MY VEHICLE WAS PULLING TO LEFT SO THEY RECOMMENDED AN ALIGNMENT I AGREED, AFTER 5 HOURS WAITING AND ME DRIVING AWAY THE PULLING TO THE LEFT WAS NOT FIXED AT ALL I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND DEMANDED THEM TO FIXED IT, THEY STATED THAT BECAUSE MY TIRES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED THAT'S WHY IT WAS NOT FIXED, MIND YOU THAT I ALREADY PAID OVER $100 DOLLARS AND THEY TOLD ME THIS AFTER THE FACT. NOW I RECEIVED A RECALL AND THEY HAVE NOT CONTACTED ME BACK TO EVEN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. HOW CAN A KNOWN DEALERSHIP PROMISED YOU THAT THE CAR IS RELIABLE AND INSPECTED BY A CERTIFY MECHANIC AND THAT IT WILL LAST FOR AT LEAST 5 YEARS AND HERE I AM ONLY 1 YEAR FROM THE TIME I BOUGHT MY VEHICLE AND I AM HAVING CAR ISSUES THAT CAN CAUSED ME AND MY KIDS LIFE BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE EXPRESS THIS TO BRANDON HONDA AND THEY HAVE NOT DO ANYTHING. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG AND HAD THE REPAIR PERFORMED IN MAY. IN JULY, I RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL NOTICE FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WHICH CLEARLY STATES "EVEN IF YOUR VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED, YOUR VEHICLE IS STILL COVERED BY THIS RECALL AND WILL NEED TO BE REPAIRED AGAIN." HOWEVER, ON CHECKING THE VIN NUMBER ON BOTH THE RECALL WEBSITE AND WITH MY DEALERSHIP, THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS SHOWN. WHICH IS CORRECT - THAT THERE MUST BE A SECOND REPAIR OR THAT THERE ARE NO FURTHER REPAIRS NECESSARY?
