HONDA SENT ME A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE ON JULY 2016, OF DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS THAT COULD INJURE OCCUPANT OF THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT. NO FURTHER NOTICE RECEIVED ON MY END AND SINCE THEN I WASN'T ABLE TO USE THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT.
TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL JULY 2016. THE RECALL CALL HAS NOT BEEN REMEDIED.
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA NOTIFYING ME OF A RECALL ON MY PASSENGER AIR BAG IN JULY. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR FOR THIS LONG. I HAVE A ROAD TRIP PLANNED IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NEED MY CAR TO BE SAFE FOR IT.
TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER JULY 2016 ABOUT THE RECALL. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, PERFORMANCE KINGS HONDA AND WAS TOLD I WAS "ON THE LIST." I CALLED BACK TODAY, 11/11/16, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT AND WOULDN'T HAVE IT UNTIL JUNE 2017. I LOOK ON YOUR WEBSITE AND SEE THAT ALL THESE RECALLS ARE BEING FIXED...WHY IS IT THAT PERFORMANCE KINGS HONDA WILL NOT HAVE THE PART IN UNTIL 2017? THAT IS TOO LONG TO WAIT. I HAVE TO DRIVE CLIENTS AS PART OF MY JOB AND AM RISKING THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AND MYSELF.
TAKATA RECALL WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT STATED WE SHOULD NOT OPERATE THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED SO NOW A EIGHT MONTHS LATER ARE STILL WAITING AND HAVE TO USE THE CAR.
TAKATA RECALL - THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND TERRIFIED THAT I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY. I SHOULD FEEL SAFE BECAUSE OF MY AIRBAGS BUT INSTEAD I FEEL FEAR. I KEPT MY CAR IN FLORIDA FROM 2008-2012 AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE HEAT MAY MAKE MY VEHICLE MORE VULNERABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THAT I CAN FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND HAVING PASSENGERS WITH ME. THANK YOU. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY. I CONTACTED HONDA TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED. IT IS NOW ALMOST OCTOBER AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE TO DATE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT THE DEFECT SHOULD BE REMEDIED WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED FOR A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. IT HAS BEEN WELL PAST 60 DAYS WITH NO RESPONSE. I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND LEFT A VOICEMAIL TODAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2016.

THIS IS A GREAT DILEMMA FOR ME CONSIDERING I DONT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS AND MY CAR WONT PASS INSPECTION AS LONG AS THIS LIGHT IS ON; THE CURRENT STICKER EXPIRES IN THREE DAYS!
TAKATA RECALL. HONDA RECALL # KA5. RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL JULY 2016. HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INDICATION THAT REMEDY FOR RECALL IS AVAILABLE.

THIS SEEMS TO BE TOO MUCH TIME TO WAIT TO HAVE SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM RESOLVED.

BOUGHT THE CAR 2 DAYS AGO. DID TEST DRIVE IT WITH NO NOTABLE ISSUES. I DID NOT TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND THE SALESMAN INSISTED NOT TO GO ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO ROAD CONSTRUCTION OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIP. SO ON THE WAY HOME I DID TAKE THE HIGHWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING MY HUSBAND OUT OF THE AREA UNTIL I GOT TO FAMILIAR TERRITORY. THEN HE GOT BEHIND ME. WELL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I FELT THE CAR SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE HAVING TROUBLE STAYING BETWEEN THE LINES. DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT AND WHEN I WOULD HIT A BUMP THE BACK END OF THE CAR MOVED ALL OVER THE PLACE. WELL WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I GOT HOME I MENTIONED IT TO HIM AND HE SAID WHEN HE WAS BEHIND ME HE NOTICED THE RIGHT BACK OF THE CAR WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. WITH THAT SAID I HAVE A 16 MONTH OLD GRANDSON THAT I INTEND TO HAVE IN MY CAR ON OCCASION AND IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT MY CAR MAY NOT BE SAFE FOR THE ROAD AND/OR PUT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IN DANGER. THE SALESMAN SHOWED ME THE CARFAX REPORT AND SERVICES THAT WERE DONE ON THE CAR. BUT DID NOT DISCLOSED ANYTHING OF WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING WITH THE VEHICLE
GANLEY SUBARU OF BEDFORD, OH (GANLEY BEDFORD IMPORTS, INC.) SOLD THIS PRE-OWNED 2008 HONDA CIVIC SI WITH NO TPMS SENSORS.

TAKATA RECALL. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL IN JULY AND CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND HONDA, AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT WAS. ON 9/20, I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE BUT THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE VIN-SPECIFIC PART, WHICH TAKES UP TO 4 WEEKS. I THEN CALLED HONDA TO SEE WHY I WASN'T NOTICED THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE, AND THE REP SAID HONDA CHANGED ITS MIND ABOUT SENDING THE PARTS AVAILABILITY NOTICE AND APOLOGIZED FOR THE "MISCOMMUNICATION." THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE ADVISES ME NOT TO HAVE A FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER, WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. THE HONDA REP WAS VERY POLITE BUT FIRM, ESSENTIALLY TELLING ME TOO BAD; I JUST NEED TO WAIT AND TRY NOT TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THE MEANTIME. THE DEALER WAS ALSO CAVALIER ABOUT THE MATTER, SUGGESTING I CHECK BACK IN CASE THEY DON'T CONTACT ME. ASSUMING THE PART IS AVAILABLE IN 4 WEEKS AND THE DEALER FIXES IT QUICKLY, THAT WILL STILL BE 3 MONTHS OF DRIVING A CAR WITH A DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN LETHAL FOR PEOPLE (SHOULD SAY SINCE I KNEW I WAS DRIVING A CAR WITH A POTENTIALLY LETHAL DEFECT). DOESN'T HONDA HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE?
TAKATA RECALL EFFORTS ARE NOT BEING COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE RECALL DATE FOR MY VEHICLE (MAY 23, 2016) WAS ALMOST FOUR MONTHS AGO AND I'M STILL TOLD THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, YET STILL HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.
YOUR VIDEO LOOKS LIKE BOTH AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. MY RECALL LETTER ONLY SAID PASSENGERS SIDE? WHICH IS IT? WHY DONT YOU SUPPLY A RENT A CAR? I HAVE TO DRIVE MY GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOL, WHAT ABOUT THIER SAFETY IN BACK SEAT?

LIKE MANY OF THE TIRE WEAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE, REAR TIRES DEVELOPED IRREGULAR FLAT SPOTS, AND REAR TIRES WERE VERY NOISY. TALKED WITH KEN IN TORRANCE, CA (AMERICAN HONDA) BUT HONDA REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY. AFTER TWO SETS OF TIRES IN 33,000 MILES, KEN AGREED TO PAY 50% OF NEXT TIRE PURCHASE. IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THEN WHY WOULD KEN AGREE TO PAY HALF OF NEXT TIRE PURCHASE?

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MAY, 2016 AND CALLED DEALER IN JUNE AND WAS TOLD PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 2 MONTHS.

I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THIS CAR, BUT I COULD NOT IN GOOD CONCIOUS, WHILE THIS CONDITION REMAINS.

TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED THIS CAR TO TRANSPORT MYSELF, SPOUSE AND 3 CHILDREN. SINCE BEING NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, I CAN ONLY TRANSPORT 4 OF US, SINCE BY HONDA'S OWN INSTRUCTIONS ON THE RECALL, "HONDA SUGGESTS YOU SHOULD AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." I REQUESTED A LOANER CAR FROM HONDA ON 7/23/16 AT 1-888-234-2138 AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FORWARDED TO THE "CASE MANAGEMENT DEPT". NO CONTACT FROM HONDA. I CALLED AGAIN ON 8/4/16 AND WAS TOLD BY KIA THAT THERE IS NO DIRECT PHONE # TO CASE MANAGEMENT, THAT I HAVE NO ASSIGNED CASE # FOR THE LOANER REQUEST AND THAT SHE COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE CASE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT. THIS UNSAFE CAR AND LACK OF RESPONSE BY HONDA IS CREATING A BURDEN FOR MY FAMILY. I NOTIFIED KIA THAT I WOULD BE MAKING A COMPLAINT TO NHTSA.
SPEED LIMIT WAS 25 AND WAS GOING 80, RAN OVER A STOP SIGN AND NEARLY DID IT TWICE WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT
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.
