TL* the contact owns a 2010 Acura TL. While driving approximately 50 MPH, the contact swerved into the median to avoid a dog in the road. The air bag independently deployed without warning or impact. The contact sustained three fractured ribs that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to a collision lot and the body damage was repaired. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer. The manufacturer was not notified. The VIN was invalid. The approximate failure mileage was 28,000.

Takata recall. Car was t-boned by a vehicle pulling out of a driveway in passenger side hard enough to damage both doors needed replacement and caused enough frame damage that caused the frame to be pulled and right rear quarter panel to be replaced from the rocker panel under the right rear door to halfway down the roof however the Takata passenger side curtain airbags did not deploy. The vehicle was going 14mph and hit by a car going approx 15-20mph and accelerating.

Air bags deployed during wreck going 35 MPH in rain.. Hit breaks and car slid. Damage was to left front bumper on drivers side.... Insurance company didn't total car in first claim and came back adding another 1000 to claim which would have totaled car all together.. Now I can't trade and vehicle isn't worth but half of what was paid bc of air bag deployment.

I received a safety recall letter in March 2016. I subsequently called my local Acura dealer on bell rd. In peoria az to request a repair. As of 25 July 2016 they have been unable to repair my vehicle due to not having parts available.

Acura still does not have the airbag replacement available at my dealership in asheville, nc. When I called my dealership on Monday, November 21st, 2016, to schedule my airbag replacement, they informed me that the parts were still backordered, and they would let me know when the parts were available. It is not right that Acura/Honda, knowing how many cars are on the road with this airbag, has had all year to produce enough airbags and the parts are still not available. However, the media has only reported that the owners are responsible for the airbags not being replaced yet. Knowing how many deaths the airbags have caused, Acura should be forced to produce the parts so that Acura and Honda owners, including myself, do not have to worry about dying while doing their day-to-day driving. …

Takata recall: I got a notice last March that my car had a defect that could kill or injure people in the car. I called my car dealer - nothing's available. I put in my VIN into your database - nothing's available but it will be in the summer of 2016. It's now January 2017. And to make matters worse, I just received another notice of a problem. This is a scandal. Where is the new air bag? In the note below - you're asking me to describe the injury that triggered this note. Are you kidding me? Thank god I haven't crashed yet so no one has been killed or injured. And I ask, now that Takata has agreed to pay the govt $1b to settle this matter, how about paying for new air bags for the people like me who are in jeopardy? Get me a new air bag now. [redacted]

Takata recall; I have been trying for several weeks to reach a supervisor at Acura/Honda to discuss my options regarding comparable transportation while my vehicle is not drivable . To date I've called over six times and keep getting the same story that they will call me back when available. On one occasion I had a representative give me an alternate number to discuss compensation. When I called the number it was a repair shop in connecticut. When I called back (same day) to Acura they had no record of me calling that day. In short, I've been getting the run-around for two months now.
