TAKATA RECALL MY SISTER WAS DRIVING A 2011 HONDA RIDGELINE ON I-85 ON MAY 2, 2015 WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD SHE CORRECTED THIS AND THE TRUCK OVERTURNED. TWO OTHERS IN THE TRUCK WERE ABLE TO GET TO GET OUT BUT MY SISTER HAD TO BE CUT FROM THE VEHICLE. ALL WERE TAKEN TO HOSPITAL AND RELEASED BUT 12 DAYS LATER MY SISTER DIED AS A RESULT OF TRAUMA TO THE LUNGS. RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE WERE DATED 02/12/2016 AND 05/23/2016 A LITTLE LATE.

I WAS NOTIFIED IN APRIL OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT DEVICE RECALL BY MAIL WITH INDICATION THAT MY LOCAL DEALER WOULD CONTACT ME. I CONTACTED PERFECTION HONDA IN ALBUQUERQUE, 898-0000, IN EARLY JULY AFTER NO ONE CALLED ME AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER IT BUT WERE HAVING TROUBLE GETTING THEM. I HAVE CHECKED BACK EVERY MONTH SINCE THEN AND THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. I CONTACTED HONDA NORTH AMERICA 9/5/2016 AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT HELP THAT MY ONLY OPTION IS TO WAIT UNTIL PERFECTION HONDA CALLED ME AFTER RECEIVING THE PART. SO IT IS NOW 5 MONTHS LATER AND I STILL HAVE A DEFECTIVE INFLATOR AND NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. THIS IS A GREAT SAFETY CONCERN AND NO ONE SEEMS TO BE WILLING TO OR ABLE TO HELP??!! IS THIS VEHICLE SAFE TO OPERATE ON THE ROADS? WHAT'S THE RISK? WHAT CAN YOU DO?
SPECIFICALLY, IN SOME VEHICLES, THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD PRODUCE EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE UPON DEPLOYMENT. IF AN AFFECTED AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE INCREASED INTERNAL PRESSURE MAY CAUSE THE INFLATOR TO RUPTURE (BREAK APART) AND DEPLOY ABNORMALLY. I GOT THIS RECALL IN FEB 12, 2016 HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT TO GET TAKEN CARE OF, BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENS?
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA LAST MARCH ALERTING ME TO THE AIRBAG RECALL AND THAT DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG COULD KILL ME AND THAT A REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. SUMMER IS ABOUT OVER AND I'VE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE TO BRING MY VEHICLE IN TO A HONDA DEALER TO RECTIFY THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION.
HONDA IS REPLACING ONLY MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG AND NOT THE PASSENGER SIDE. HONDA IS NOW SAYING ITS SAFE TO DRIVE AS LONG AS NO ONE SITS IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THIS IS NOT AN OPTION FOR MY FAMILY. THE RENTAL CAR HONDA WAS PROVIDING SHOULD CONTINUE TO BE OFFERED TO ME UNTIL MY VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE TAKATA AIR-BEG IS REPAIRED. CASE:04962383.

DEALER SAYS DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR, WE JUST HAVE ONE AND THATS ALL. THE DEALER SAYS THEY WILL RENT A CHEAP CAR BUT DON'T DRIVE IT A LOT AND WE PAY THE INSURANCE ON IT, THIS IS NOT WRIGHT.
"TAKATA RECALL" - I HAVE FOLLOWED THE DIRECTIONS SENT TO ME OVER TWO MONTHS AGO. I HAVE CALLED TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS WHO KEEP TELLING ME THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO ORDER THE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THIS. LAST NIGHT I SAW ON THE NEWS THAT I SHOULD NOT EVEN BE DRIVING THE CAR. AND, "HONDA IS TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS, AND THEY HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX ALL THE REMAINING VEHICLES." SO NOW, HERE I AM, WITH NO VEHICLE TO DRIVE, AND NO OUTLOOK AS TO HOW LONG THIS IS GOING TO TAKE.
