TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LAST SPRING TOOK ABOUT 5 OR 6 MONTHS BEFORE MY DEALERSHIP IN DUBUQUE IOWA EVEN GOT THEM IN. I CALLED A COUPLE TIMES SINCE THIS WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ME AND MY FAMILY AROUND ON TRIPS AND SO FOURTH. STILL GOT A RESPONSE THAT HONDA CREATED THE RECALL WITH NUMEROUS COMPANIES, AND CAN'T PRODUCE ALL THESE AIRBAGS. MAYBE THEY SHOULD OF THOUGHT OF THAT B4 THE RECALL.... SO I THINK HONDA OR SOMEONE SHOULD OF PAID ME COMPENSATION FOR DRIVING A VEHICLE AROUND THAT WASN'T SAFE AT ALL IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN SOME WAY? I DON'T KNOW EXACT DATE THE FIRST AIRBAG RECALL CAME OUT

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA IN JULY 2016 STATING THAT MY PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED DUE TO A FAULTY INFLATOR. THE LETTER STATES THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS "WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016." WE ARE NOW INTO THE THIRD WEEK OF JANUARY 2017, AND WHEN I SPOKE WITH HONDA LAST WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS FOR 6 MONTHS AND HONDA COULD GIVE ME NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN I CAN EXPECT MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS BEEN UNUSABLE SINCE A JULY, 2016 NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. PLANET HONDA IN LAKEWOOD COLORADO ORDERED BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS ON 7/6/16 SINCE I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED FROM HONDA THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I FINALLY RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE DEALER THAT PARTS WERE IN AND THE DEALER INSTALLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE BAG ON 9/17/16, BUT INFORMED ME THAT THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG HAD NOT ARRIVED, BUT STILL ON ORDER. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TWO TIMES, AND BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. THIS DELAY IS CAUSING GREAT INCONVENIENCE IN MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF LACK OF PASSENGER CAPACITY. I GET THE FEELING THAT HONDA IS NOT COMPLYING WITH THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY FASHION

REGARDING: TAKATA RECALL ! I HAVE RECEIVED THREE NOTICES, ONE IN FEBRUARY 2016, ONE IN MARCH 2016 AND ONE IN JULY 2016. THE FIRST TWO NOTICES WERE INFORMING OF THE RECALLS FOR THE HONDAS THAT ARE AFFECTED BY THESE AIR BAGS. THE THIRD NOTIFIED ME THAT THE AIR BAG REPLACEMENT WOULD BE AVAILABLE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016. THEY ALSO STATE, RED LETTERS!, THAT A PASSENGER SHOULD NOT BE IN THIS VEHICLE UNTIL THE AIR BAG PROBLEM IS FIXED. THE LETTERS ALSO STATE THAT IF THIS AIR BAG RECALL IS NOT ADDRESSED AND REPAIRED IN 60 DAYS FROM THE NOTICE, I MAY FILE A COMPLAINT. WELL, HERE IS MY COMPLAINT!! NOW, I ASK AND NEED TO KNOW, THAT THIS AIR BAG PROBLEM WILL BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY. PLEASE ADVISE WHAT I NEED TO DO TO REMEDY IT. ONE, I CANNOT AFFORD NOT TO USE MY VEHICLE, PASSENGERS OR NO PASSENGERS. TWO, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE NOW, WHEREAS IN THE PAST I DID BEFORE KNOWING THIS ABOUT THE AIR BAGS AND NOW IT IS DRAGGING OUT. I NEED THIS FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WOULD YOU FEEL SAFE IN A RECALLED VEHICLE, WAITING FOR THE WORST TO HAPPEN??? AND KNOWING THAT IF THE WORST WERE TO HAPPEN, IT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF IT WAS ADDRESSED IN A TIMELY MANNER??? AND WORST YET, IF AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR THAT OTHERWISE ONE WOULD WALK AWAY FROM, BUT INSTEAD WAS SEVERELY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS AIR BAG PROBLEM, HOW CAN THE THIS BE ALLOWED TO HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE POWERS-THAT-BE IN THIS RECALL ARE DRAGGING THIS THING OUT. FIX IT!! THANK YOU FOR READING MY NOTE. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. NUMEROUS CALLS TO THE DEALER OVER A 6 MONTH PERIOD. NO SERVICE APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED (PARTS ARE ALWAYS "UNAVAILABLE" OR "ON BACK ORDER"). SINCE THIS IS A PRODUCT DEFECT THAT CAN CAUSE FATAL INJURIES, THE DELAY IS NOT REASONABLE OR ACCEPTABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I TOOK MY TRUCK IN ON 3/2/2016 TO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND TO HAVE THE TAKATA RECALL TAKING CARE OF ON THE DRIVERS AIRBAG. WHEN THE SERVICING WAS DONE THE SERVICE ADVISER INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE AIRBAG AVAILABLE AND HE WOULD CALL ONCE THEY GOT THEM, HE SAID ABOUT A WEEK. SO I GAVE THEM TILL 4/11/2016 THEN I CALLED THE SERVICE ADVISER BACK HE INFORMED ME TO GIVE THEM ANOTHER WEEK AND CALL BACK. ON 4/19/2016 I CALL BACK AND SPOKE TO ANOTHER ADVISER AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THEM AND TO CALL BACK IN 2 WEEKS. 5/4/2016 I CALL BACK AND SPOKE WITH THE FIRST ADVISER I DID BUSINESS WITH ON 3/2/2016 HE TOLD ME THEY STILL DID NOT HAVE THEM AND HE WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY CAME IN. ON 7/19/2016 I DECIDED TO CALL THEM BACK SINCE I HAD NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE AND SPOKE TO A THIRD ADVISER WHICH HE IN TURN TRANSFERRED ME BACK TO THE ORIGINAL ADVISER AND UPON TALKING WITH HIM HE SAID HE DIDN'T KNOW IF THEY HAD CAME IN AND I INFORMED HIM I HAD RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. HE SAID HE WOULD CHECK AND CALL ME BACK. TODAY IS 8/11/2016 I HAVE TILL YET TO HEAR FROM THE ADVISER OR ANYONE ELSE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAD SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT WITH BOB HOWARD HONDA , EDMOND OKLAHOMA TO GET THE FAULTY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED, I HAD CALLED THEM ALMOST TWO MONTHS AGO AND BACK THEN , GARY MILLICAN ( SERVICE REP ) HAD PROMISED ME THAT I WOULD BE PROVIDED A LOANER OR RENTAL CAR REIMBURSEMENT. AFTER THAT CONVERSATION, I WAS ASSUMING THAT A PART WOULD HAVE BEEN ORDERED SPECIFICALLY FOR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE TRIED TO MINIMIZE ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE EVER SINCE THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED IN THE MAIL. AFTER I HAD INITIATED THE REQUEST, THE ACCOUNTABILITY WAS SQUARELY WITH BOB HOWARD HONDA TO GET BACK TO ME AFTER THE PART WAS RECEIVED. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. LAST WEEK, I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH THEM SPECIFICALLY STATING THAT THE I WOULD BE BRINGING IN MY VEHICLE ON SATURDAY, AUGUST 6, 2016 TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG. I GOT A APPOINTMENT CONFIRMATION AS WELL AS A REMINDER. WHEN I WENT IN, THE SERVICE ADVISOR , LOGAN TOLD ME THAT THE PART WASN'T IN STOCK AND HE WILL HAVE TO ORDER IT. WHEN I ASKED HIM THAT IF I COULD GET A LOANER OR A RENTAL REIMBURSEMENT ( MY PRIMARY CONCERN WAS THAT MY WIFE IS 4 MONTHS PREGNANT AND I WANTED TO REDUCE ANY CHANCE OF THE FAULTY PART CAUSING HARM TO HER AS WELL AS THE UNBORN CHILD ). BUT I WAS TOLD THAT HONDA POLICY IS NOT TO PROVIDE EITHER AS IT JUST AFFECTED THE PASSENGER SIDE. I WOULD HAVE NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO SEEK LEGAL HELP IN THIS TOTAL LACK OF SERIOUSNESS ON HONDA'S PART. WHEN A VEHICLE IS SOLD, IT ISN'T SOLD AS A MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION JUST FOR ONE PERSON ( THE DRIVER ). IF ITS UNDRIVEABLE WITH A PASSENGER , IT SHOULD BE DEEMED UNDRIVEABLE. HONDA CANNOT SHIRK AWAY FROM THE RESPONSIBILITY OF COMPENSATING CUSTOMERS FOR ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF TRANSPORTATION WHEN THEIR INITIAL CONTRACT OF PROVIDING A SAFE VEHICLE WASN'T ADHERED TO.
