So as I understand, this recall is a fix that needs to be done, or in the event of the airbags deploying, there is a chance of a life threatening injury...being I work for toshiba medical and I sell equipment that could be a danger to patients and I understand the recall. In my case at toshiba, if a recall comes from the fda, we need to shut down the system until the fix is made. Even if it's less than 1% it gets close up!! Seems that you are willing to let the car be driven until the replacement parts are available. This is unacceptable!! This is a leased car and the lease is up in November of this year. You own this car not I. I will be more than happy to return the car as is and you terminate the lease. Legally Acura has a large risk knowing the airbags are faulty but have no fix... Please let me know your next steps. ... Thanks in advance.... ...updated 04/12/16

I am seriously concerned about my safety driving my Acura. I got a safety recall notice from the manufacturer during the month on February, 2016 with multiple calls being placed the manufacturer has no fixed date in resolving the problem. With the safety recall I wasn't able to sell my vehicle since it is defective and there was no solution provided by the manufacturer. Even after multiple calls Acura client relations didn't respond properly and they were not very helpful in resolving my issues. I would kindly request NHTSA to kindly look into the issue and direct Acura accordingly.

Takarta airbag. I have no information that the airbag in my car was fixed. I am also having problems with my car's power. It moves so slow when pulling off. I have also had problems with my driver's side window. You can hear wind and what appears to be a plastic sound when you get up to speeds over 20 miles per hour. I have gotten notification that my car has a recall on the airbags and the lights are defective. I do not trust macchurchill because I have been deceived by this company. Please help.0909

"Takata recall" I received a notice in March and spoke with the dealership, both said I would be notified when parts were available in late summer. On 10/21/16 I called my dealership to find out the status because I hadn't heard anything else. I was told oh we have the parts come in whenever you want. Why wasn't I notified. I've been driving an unsafe car for 2 years and wondering about the airbag for 7 months. This is completely unacceptable.
