2007 Honda Ridgeline Airbags Problems

THE ISSUE SEEMS TO OCCUR RANDOMLY. WHEN IT OCCURS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, VTM4 LIGHT, VSA LIGHT AND A FEW OTHER WARNING LIGHTS LIGHT UP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE TRUCK WILL SLOW DOWN GRADUALLY WITH NO RESPONSE FROM THE ACCELERATE PEDAL. I HAVE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURN OFF THE TRUCK OR LET VEHICLE COST AND IT WILL EVENTUALLY KICK IN. I HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS WITH THIS HAPPENING AT UNKOWING TIMES WHICH CAN EITHER POSSIBLY CAUSE ME TO WRECK OR SOMEONE TO HIT ME FROM BEHIND BECAUSE THE VEHICLE JIST WONT MOVE I JAVE TO COAST IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

HONDA/TAKATA RECALL: WE RECEIVED A NOTICE IN JUNE 2016 THAT OUR VEHICLE HAD A RECALL. RECALL IS DATED 5/23/16. IT HAS BEEN 7 1/2 MONTHS AND IT STILL HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED. THEIR SUGGESTION IS FOR NO ONE TO SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THAT IS NOT A OPTION FOR OUR FAMILY. WHEN ARE THEY GOING TO FIX THIS? I WANT A NEW VEHICLE IF THEY CANNOT FIX IT SOON.

Incident

Nov 7, 2016

I RECEIVED A TAKATA RECALL NOTICE FOR DEFECTIVE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER AIR BAGS. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL DEALER, OCEAN HONDA, IN APRIL 2016 TO GET THE AIR BAGS REPLACED AND WAS ADVISED OF AN ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION OPTION. THE DEALER INFORMED ME THAT I WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED AN EQUIVALENT VEHICLE, BUT RATHER $35 PER DAY WHICH WOULD ALLOW ME TO COVER THE COST OF A COMPACT CAR. I EXPLAINED I WORKED CONSTRUCTION AND NEEDED MY TRUCK FOR MY JOB. THE DEALER ADVISED ME TO CONTACT THE NUMBER ON MY RECALL NOTICE. I CALLED THE NUMBER ON MY RECALL NOTICE AND REQUESTED AN ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION EQUIVALENT TO MY HONDA PICKUP ON APRIL 2, 2016 AND CASE # 04574876 WAS OPENED. I WAS ADVISED I WOULD BE CONTACTED WITH A DECISION. I NEVER WAS. FROM APRIL 2016 TO THE PRESENT, I TOOK MY CAR TO OCEAN HONDA FOR ROUTINE SERVICE MULTIPLE TIMES AND REQUESTED THE STATUS OF THE TAKATA RECALL. EACH TIME I REQUESTED STATUS, I WAS ADVISED THE PARTS WERE ON BACK ORDER. I TOOK MY CAR IN A FEW WEEKS AGO AND VERY ADVISED THE PARTS WERE STILL ON BACK ORDER. I CONTACTED HONDA AGAIN TODAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2016, TO FIND OUT THE STATUS OF MY REPLACEMENT PARTS AND ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION REQUEST AND WAS ADVISED THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE, BUT NO DECISION WAS MADE ON MY ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION REQUEST. IT HAS BEEN SEVEN MONTHS SINCE MY INITIAL REQUEST AND I HAVE BEEN PUTTING MY OWN WELL BEING AT RISK DRIVING AN UNSAFE VEHICLE WITH NO EXPLANATION AS TO WHY THE PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN REPLACED OR WHY HONDA WOULD NOT CONSIDER MY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES OF ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. I BELIEVE AMERICAN HONDA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE AND TO ACCOMMODATE MY SPECIAL ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION REQUEST WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME (60 DAYS FROM THE DATE I FIRST CONTACTED MY DEALER FOR A REPAIR APPOINTMENT) AND AM; THEREFORE, LODGING A FORMAL COMPLAINT TO TRY TO BRING THIS MATTER TO A CLOSE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL OUR 2007 RIDGELINE VIN 2HJYK16307H42849 WAS RECALLED ON MARCH 28, 2016 FOR THE FAULTY TAKATA DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG AND RECALLED IN JULY, 2016 FOR THE FAULTY TAKATA FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER, PRESCOTT HONDA, 3291 WILLOW CREEK ROAD, PRESCOTT, ARIZONA 86301, 928-778-5500 ON MARCH 28; MARCH 29; JULY 11; AND SEPTEMBER 7, 2016 REQUESTING REPAIRS. WE HAVE BEEN REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT THE PARTS FOR THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG ARE NOT YET IN. (THE PARTS FOR THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAG REPAIR CAME IN JULY--BUT WE CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE THE VEHICLE AS THE DRIVER IS STILL AT RISK WITH THE FAULTY AIRBAG! THEREFORE WE ARE WAITING SO WE CAN GET BOTH AIRBAGS FIXED AT THE SAME TIME.) IT HAS NOW BEEN OVER 155 DAYS SINCE WE FIRST RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG RECALL. WE ARE WITHOUT THE USE OF OUR TRUCK DURING THIS TIME. WHILE A RENTAL VEHICLE WAS OFFERED (ONLY AFTER I INQUIRED), THE TWO VEHICLES OFFERED DO NOT MEET OUR VEHICLE NEEDS OF A TRUCK. WE JUST WANT OUR AIRBAGS REPAIRED! NOW! ENOUGH WAITING!
