Takata recall as an owner of a 2007 Acura RDX I received a letter on the recall issued. My vehicle was taken in for service on July 1 , 2016. Some 3 months later the symptoms that were first noticed have returned. That is the clicking sound from behind the steering wheel and the airbag notification warning on the dash. I contacted ed voyles Acura who performed the repairs for the recall to let them know that I am having the same problems again . Their response was shocking as I was given a convoluted explanation that amounted to the assertion that the symptoms I am experiencing has nothing to do with the recall. The very same issues that alerted me to a problem with the airbag system. It is obvious that there is a defect and a very dangerous one at that with the airbag system in my Acura RDX which the dealer is insinuating that any repairs done will be at my expense. …

Takata recall. I am 71 years old and have only one car. I am concerned that if there would be an accident (I drive rarely (less than 5000 miles a year) and carefully (no moving violations or accidents in decades) I would be seriously injured. When will my car air bags be replaced.

Vehicle stalled on road, three vehicles stopped behind the stalled car. Fifth vehicle hit the left rear of my wife's SUV sending her into the vehicle in front and so on. Air bags did not deploy in my wife's vehicle.

Takata recall - received a letter dated 3/2016 from Acura informing me of a recall on my car for air bag problems, which is a potentially very dangerous concern. The letter indicated the replacement parts would be available in the summer of 2016. This is now November and the part is still not available. I have called Acura client relations twice and my local dealer has attempted twice to obtain the part, all these efforts were without result. In my most recent call to Acura the rep could not help and refused to transfer me to a manager for assistance. I would like the part to be made available asap

Takata recall - I have been calling my local dealership regularly since I received the recall in March 2016. It is now September and they still have no idea when the part will be available. This is way beyond the "reasonable period of time" of 60 days. I am beyond upset about this as this vehicle is driven by my daughter. I was told initially by the dealership that a rental really wasn't necessary despite continued warnings. What is the quickest way to get this recall remedied??
