The problem I have is: There is 3 recalls for my vehicle. One is the urgent as Takata airbags installed. I called local Honda dealer on 6/27/25, they order the part and I received the email stating that part arrived. I called dealer today to schedule a replacement. When I ask how long it will take, lady say about 1/2 day. When I ask if Honda will give me car to drive in that time, she stated No., but I can rent a vehicle for $75. Dealers name: Gary Smith Honda, 225 Miracle Strip SW, Fl., 32548. Is it safe to drive this car?

Motor mounts bust causing shaking alot of reports on YouTube. Airbag passenger turns off at times no apparent reason. Sometimes with bag in seat or nothing at all. Motor mounts are bad in these cars won't last 100 thousand miles bolts break if it doesn't get fixed automatically. Antioch brake system slides when slammed on breaks in no rain

I was taking a ride through the mountains and had parked and when I tried to start the car the ignition switch wouldn't turn like it was locked, I was by my self, and it started raining and my window was down , I couldn't get ahold of anyone who could come help me so I had to figure out how to start the car a different way which I had to use whatever I had handy ,,well it took a whole day and more for me to finally get it started, when I did I start smelling burning , I was freaking out , when I noticed it was coming from my window switch, I started trying to get the fire to stop and I shut off the car. So I had to take off the panel to get the part off so I could get off the mountain. I didn't know that that was an already known recall or I would have gotten it fixed sooner, I didn't learn about it until I received an urgent notice in the mail about airbag inflator . …

I drove into my driveway to park in our car port. As I approached the car port the car suddenly accelerated. I applied the brakes but it did not even slow down. The car went over a 8 inch by 4 inch barrier at the front of the car port, continued to gain speed as it went through a small garden, then it knocked down our privacy fence. All during this time I was applying the brake. The car then went about 60 feet through our neighbors yard and continued through the next houses' privacy fence and went another 6 feet and finally stopped when it hit the house. The air bags never released.

I recently was involved in a head on wreck, totaling my car. The airbags never deployed although the car was a complete loss from the frontal impact. I was moving forward in a 45 MPH zone, as someone ran a stop sign to my right. I was driving on a straight highway, on the inside lane.

Was in an accident after recall in which the front end was crushed completely and none of the airbags opened recently took car in for recall prior and complained about other concerns with car at dealership

My son was involved in an auto accident in his 2007 Honda Fit sport. He hit a truck stopped in the street while trying to avoid the truck. The impact occurred on the left driver's side of the Honda Fit. The drivers side of the Fit was heavily damaged & the car was a total loss. My son had a serious head injury and was unconscious and was flown by life flight to a trauma center where he was hospitalized with a serious brain injury. None of the car's airbags deployed. Had the side curtain airbag on the driver's side deployed, his injury would have been greatly reduced. Before the accident, the car was in excellent condition with 38,000 miles on it. The insurance company placed the salvage value at $1,100. Why didn't the airbags work in such a serious accident? I have photos available.

Takata recall-have vacation booked using auto train to fla. Booked about 8 months ago. Scheduled to leave 8/17. Received recall notice 7/18-told not to use car if passenger in seat. Airbag will not be available until late summer or fall. Called Honda ([phone]) and explained situation. I was told that I needed a rental and they would get back to me. I call again in 7/25 and was told that they would expedite rental. I called again 8/1 and told that it is in the works but they have 10K complaints to process. I am between a rock and a hard place as we will be forced to use the car but am afraid of what could happen. I am running out of time and my wife and I are not sure where to go for help.
