THEY SENT ME A LETTER ON THE MY NAME MY MOTHERS ME WHICH IS I RETURN THE LETTER AND SAY MY MOTHER IS NOT THE OWNER OF MY HONDA VIVO 2004 WHEN I CALL THE HONDA DEALER TO MAKE SURE AND GO OVER AND GET FIXED,THEY SAY THEY ALREADY FIXED IT IN 2015 .SO I WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPEN WITH THE NEW RECALL LETTER THAT YOU GUYS SENT ME UNDER MY MOTHERS NAME .
I AND A RELATIVE HAVE A 04,03 HONDA CIVIC AND WE SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. THE HOODS OF OUR CARS ARE RUSTING. I LIVE IN SAN ANTONIO, TX, AND SHE LIVES IN ATLANTA, GA. DID WE GET BAD PAINT JOBS.
MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON, I DON'T KNOW WHY.
MY KEY WOULD COME OUT OF THE IGNITION WHILE NOT IN PARK, THE VEHICLE SOMETIMES DOES NOT FULLY GO INTO PARK UNLESS FORCEFULLY PULLED BACK INTO PARK SO SOMETIMES THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T BE IN PARK ALL NIGHT OR WHILE IN PUBLIC PARKING LOTS. MY HONDA MADE KEY HAD TO GO INTO THE IGNITION FACING PERFECTLY ONE WAY TO START THE CAR THEN THE IGNITION COMPLETELY REFUSED THE KEY AND WOULDN'T TURN ONCE IT ACCEPTED IT. WHILE I WAS TRYING TO GET MY KEY TO TURN THE IGNITION THE CAR, IN A PUBLIC GAS STATION PARKING LOT, WAS NOT EVEN IN PARK EVEN THOUGH I WAS COMPLETELY ABLE TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND TAKE THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. MY IGNITION NO LONGER TURNS AT ALL, I'VE ALREADY CHECKED THAT THE CHIP IN MY KEY IS STILL FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. POLICE OFFICERS TRIED TO HELP ME CORRECT THE ISSUE WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS NOW ALSO ACTING UP SINCE THIS INCIDENT THE RADIO FLASHES INSTEAD OF STAYING ON, I AM NOW UNABLE TO CHANGE THE TIME ON THE RADIO CLOCK AND MY INTERIOR LIGHTS HAD TO BE REMOVED BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO SHUT OFF.
I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WITH MY R FOOT ON THE BREAK. SUDDENLY THE CAR WENT INTO AN UNCONTROLLED ACCELERATION. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE REVVING. IN A FEW SECONDS, IT HIT THE CAR DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF ME AND STOPPED UPON IMPACT BUT IF THAT CAR HADN'T BEEN THERE I WOULD HAVE BEEN PROPELLED INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION WITH CROSSWAYS TRAFFIC. IT WAS LIKE A NIGHTMARE. THIS WAS AT A VERY BUSY CITY STREET INTERSECTION AT A BUSY TIME OF DAY (3 PM), ON THE ACCESS RD TO A MAJOR INTERSTATE HWY IN A LARGE METRO AREA. THE OTHER DRIVER AND VALET GUYS FROM A HOTEL ACROSS THE STREET WITNESSED I WAS EXTREMELY SHAKEN UP BUT ALERT AND IN MY RIGHT MIND, ETC.
TAKATA RECALL --TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BIG STAR HONDA IN HOUSTON, FOR THE RECALL TO FIX THE AIR BAGS AS PER THEIR APPOINTMENT SCHEDULE ON 11/21/2016 9:15AM, (IT TOOK ME 3 TRIES TO SCHEDULE THE APPOINTMENT BECAUASE THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE).THE PROMISE WAS IT WILL BE READY BY 3 HOURS -- BUT AROUND 4.15 PM MY CAR WAS READY TO BE PICKED UP AS I DROVE OF THE PARKING LOT INTO THE FEEDER ROAD OF THE HIGHWAY I 45 SOUTH I NOTICED THE RED AIRBAG LIGHT AND ENGINE LIGHT COME ON --- I CALLED THE DEALER ON MY CELLPHONE RIGHT THEN AS I WAS DRIVING HOME TRIED 3 DIFFERENT NUMBERS LEFT MESSAGES CALLED AGAIN THIS MORNING (11/22/2016) NO RESPONSE I OPENED UP ANOTHER CASE NUMBER WITH HONDA PARENT COMPANY CASE # 03744997. THERE IS NO VISIBLE SIGN ON THE AIRBAG AREA TO SHOW IF THEY DID ANY WORK TO EXCHANGE THE INFLATOR; THE RECALL WAS FOR BOTH PASSANGER AND DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG.
GOOD MORNING, WE TOOK OUR HONDA CIVIC IN FOR AN AIRBAG RECALL RECENTLY. LAST WEEKEND THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON AND WE RETURN TO THE DEALER. THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T CHECK IT OUT UNLESS WE PAID AN INITIAL $150.00 SERVICE FEE AND THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE SEAT BELT THAT BROKE AND NOT THE AIR BAG BUT THAT ITS NOT COVERED SINCE WE NOW HAVE GONE OVER THE 80,000 MILE LIMIT ON THEIR LIABILITY.
TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 15V370000 (AIR BAGS) AND 15V320000 (AIR BAGS) FROM THE MANUFACTURER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO HAVE THE VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR THE RECALLS, THE CONTACT WAS NOTIFIED BY THE DEALER THAT THE AIR BAG REPAIR MAY NOT BE EFFECTIVE BECAUSE THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT SRS CONTROL UNIT FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.
AWHILE BACK I GOT A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2004 HONDA CIVIC VIN# [XXX] AND I TOOK IT TO HONDA DEALERSHIP IN HOMOSASSA FLORIDA BUT I DON'T THINK THEY PROPERLY FIXED THE RECALL BECAUSE THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. WHEN I COMPLAINED ABOUT IT THE LADY TOLD ME THAT'S MY RESPONSIBILITY NOT THEIRS. I WONDER IF THEY EVER ACTUALLY FIXED THE AIRBAG RECALL. I HAVE NO IDEA THE EXACT DATE. MAY HAVE BEEN 2014 OR 2015. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA FOR TAKATA AIR BAGS. . THE FIRST TIME I GOT THE NOTICE I CALLED AND WASN'T ABLE TO GET AN APPOINTMENT FOR MONTHS. NOW I GET A SECOND NOTICE ASKING ME TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND TO CALL 1-844-758-9245. I HAVE BEEN CALLING THIS NUMBER FOR TWO WEEKS AND ALL I GET ARE BUSY SIGNALS. I TRY IN THE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. I HAVE TRIED MONDAY - THURSDAY LAST WEEK AND NOTHING BUT BUSY. HMM LOOKS LIKE HONDA DOESN'T WANT TO FIX THESE CARS.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2004 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE DRIVER REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 150,000.
TAKATA RECALL- I TOOK MY HONDA IN FOR TWO SAFETY RECALLS (AIRBAGS; 15V-320 AND 15V-370) AT HOLMAN HONDA. I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL STATING THE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND THE RIGHT AIRBAG IMPACT SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED FOR $357.00. NO LIGHTS WERE ON WHEN I DROPPED OFF THE CAR... I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THIS DEALERSHIPS PRACTICES AND CHARGES FOR FREE SAFETY RECALLS. MY VEHICLE STILL FEELS UNSAFE!
DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WILL NOT LOCK WITH EITHER KEY THAT GOES TO IT. WILL NOT ALLOW TO MANUALLY LOCK WITHOUT KEY EITHER.
WE HAVE HAD THE TAKATA AIRBAGS REPLACED BY THE HONDA DEALER IN BOW, NH. HOWEVER, OUR AIRBAGS ARE STILL NOT FUNCTIONING AS INDICATED BY THE AIRBAG LIGHT STILL BEING ON AND THE DIAGNOSITCE LATER RUN (AT OUR REQUEST) BY THE DEALER. THE DEALER NOW WAYS THAT THERE IS A DEFECT IN OUR SEATBELT WHICH IS DISABLING THE AIRBAGS. WE THOUGHT THE SEATBELTS WERE WARRANTIED AGAINST DEFECT BUT THE DEALER CLAIMS IT IS NOT. PLEASE ASSIST.
"TAKATA RECALL" WE OWN 2 HONDAS INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. THE AIRBAGS WERE REPLACED ON BOTH VEHICLES. THE SRS LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED ON BOTH VEHICLES SINCE THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED. RT. 23 HONDA, POMPTON PLAINS, NJ REPLACED THE AIRBAGS. THEY WANT $300 FOR EACH VEHICLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM THAT THEY SAY IS NOT RELATED TO THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT. WE FEEL THIS MUST BE RELATED TO THE REPLACEMENT. SEEMS UNLIKELY THAT 2 VEHICLES AFTER REPLACEMENT WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL SUBMIT A SECOND FORM SINCE THERE ARE 2 VIN NUMBERS INVOLVED. I LAST SPOKE TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS ON 4/21/2016.
TAKATA RECALLS WE HAVE NEVER RECEIVED ANYTHING STATING IF OUR VEHICLE HAS BEEN RECALLED OR NOT. EVERYTHING I READ SAYS IT HAS & WE WILL RECEIVE NOTIFICATION. WELL WHEN WILL THAT HAPPEN, WHEN AN AIRBAG EXPLODES & HURTS SOMEONE?

SRS LIGHT ON FOR YEARS. TOLD IT WAS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THEN HONDA SAYS IT IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, I HAVE TO PAY HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS FOR REPAIR. TRANSMISSION WENT OUT COST OVER $2500 SO FAR, CAR STILL ISN'T WORKING. WELL KNOWN PROBLEM BUT HONDA IS GREEDY AND WON'T PAY TO FIX THEIR UNSAFE VEHICLES. CAR OVERHEATS WHEN USING THE HEATER.

MANUAL TRANSMISSION HONDA CIVIC LX 2004 REACHES RATTLING/GRINDING NOISE WHEN REACHED 2000 RPM OR SO. THE NOISE IS LOUD AND DOWNSHIFTING BECOMES VERY ROUGH. THE CAR SLOWS DOWN WHEN NOT PRESSING ACCELERATOR. EVEN WHEN IN NEUTRAL THE CAR SOUNDS WITH A RATTLE. ONLY WHEN THE CLUTCH IS PRESSED DOES THE SOUND MINIMIZE. CAR FEELS VULNERABLE WHEN DRIVEN LIKE THIS. IT'S MAINLY DUE TO THE NOISE, AND FEELING OF THE CAR. THE INPUT SHAFT BEARING IS THE PROBLEM. MANY REPORTS WERE BLOGGED AND DIAGNOSED. THE CAR STILL RUNS.

I WISH NHTSA HAD THE AUTHORITY TO ORDER HONDA TO REPAIR FOR FREE THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL ARM AND CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ON MY CIVIC; THE WARRANTY EXPIRED BEFORE THE PROBLEM DEVELOPED ON THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL AND HONDA CONSIDERS THE CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS AS MAINTENANCE ITEMS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY; THEY ARE HARD RUBBER AND WEAR OUT AFTER A FEW YEARS--I WAS NEVER TOLD THIS AT THE TIME I BOUGHT THIS CAR! I WILL TRY TO SEND PAPERWORK TO NHTSA IN SUPPORT OF MY COMPLAINT AGAINST HONDA. I WAS ALSO STUCK WITH A $1400 REPAIR BILL AFTER THE GAS CAP LOCK STUCK AND WOULDN'T OPEN (AGAIN, AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED!), NEEDING AN EMERGENCY SERVICE BECAUSE I COULD NOT GAS UP THE CAR! AGAIN, NHTSA SHOULD FINE HONDA FOR EACH INCIDENT AND ORDER THEM TO REIMBURSE ME IN FULL FOR THESE UNCALLED-FOR REPAIR BILLS! MY MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR COSTS FOR THIS CIVIC ARE FAR MORE THAN THE BOOK VALUE FOR THIS CAR. *TR

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
