We received a notice in March 2016 from Honda which states, "the defect (airbags) in these vehicles could kill or injure you or other people in your vehicle." we have been contacting the dealer since then. In July, we received another notice with another dire message...that we should avoid having a passenger in the front seat until the repair has been performed. During these 5 months, the delay in repair has cost us a camping vacation and several trips involving our bikes. Out truck sits waiting for this repair. On July 22, I had planned to surprise my husband with a bike ride in monterey for his birthday. We had been assured that the repair would be completed by this time. Our plans will have to be cancelled. In late August we have campground reservations for lake tahoe and yosemite. We tow a trailer with our truck. …

Takata recall - received notice contacted dealer. They will give me a "loaner" vehicle until my vehicle gets fixed. I need a vehicle with a hitch capable of towing a trailer that is 4000 lbs with a hitch weight of 285. They said they can't provide that without me paying an upgrade cost of about 30$. I contacted American Honda and opened a case to have them pay the upgrade. So far they have not provided any information and as of last week the case hadn't even been assigned to a case manager. When I spoke with them today, they said the case manager hadn't made a decision. So meanwhile I drive around in an unsafe vehicle. My case with American Honda is #04585652. My notice said if I wasn't satisfied with the way Honda is remedying the situation to write you folks. Please help...

Takata recall air bag last spring took about 5 or 6 months before my dealership in dubuque iowa even got them in. I called a couple times since this was unsafe to drive me and my family around on trips and so fourth. Still got a response that Honda created the recall with numerous companies, and can't produce all these airbags. Maybe they should of thought of that b4 the recall.... So I think Honda or someone should of paid me compensation for driving a vehicle around that wasn't safe at all if I was involved in a crash in some way? I don't know exact date the first airbag recall came out

Takata recall--no incident has occurred yet. I am still waiting, since May 2016 for relief, unable to use the passenger front seat of my vehicle. I am tired of waiting, and of being unable to use my vehicle as I need to. Please help me get this fixed, or a vehicle I can use while I wait. This is affecting my business drastically, as well as my family, as I need to carry passengers during the majority of my driving. This issue involves the NHTSA recall 16v-344.

Takata recall - received a recall notice for the driver side airbag in March 2016 (16v-061) and then a passenger side airbag in July 2016 (16v-344). In July, I requested the dealer put me on a list to address the recall. Three months later, and my dealership still does not have the parts to fix the airbag inflator issue. Furthermore, the dealer stated that Honda was no longer providing an alternative form of transportation while waiting for the parts.

Takata recall. Numerous calls to the dealer over a 6 month period. No service appointment scheduled (parts are always "unavailable" or "on back order"). Since this is a product defect that can cause fatal injuries, the delay is not reasonable or acceptable.

Regarding: Takata recall ! I have received three notices, one in February 2016, one in March 2016 and one in July 2016. The first two notices were informing of the recalls for the hondas that are affected by these air bags. The third notified me that the air bag replacement would be available summer/fall of 2016. They also state, red letters!, that a passenger should not be in this vehicle until the air bag problem is fixed. The letters also state that if this air bag recall is not addressed and repaired in 60 days from the notice, I May file a complaint. Well, here is my complaint!! Now, I ask and need to know, that this air bag problem will be fixed immediately. Please advise what I need to do to remedy it. One, I cannot afford not to use my vehicle, passengers or no passengers. …

"Takata recall" I took my truck in on 3/2/2016 to local Honda dealership for routine maintenance and to have the Takata recall taking care of on the drivers airbag. When the servicing was done the service adviser informed me that they did not have the airbag available and he would call once they got them, he said about a week. So I gave them till 4/11/2016 then I called the service adviser back he informed me to give them another week and call back. On 4/19/2016 I call back and spoke to another adviser and he informed me that they did not have them and to call back in 2 weeks. 5/4/2016 I call back and spoke with the first adviser I did business with on 3/2/2016 he told me they still did not have them and he would call me when they came in. …
