TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBERS: 16V061000 (AIR BAGS) AND 16V346000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED AN ISSUE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS UNAVAILABLE.
TAKATA RECALL: I CONTACTED BERKELEY HONDA TO GET THIS RECALL FIXED. A SALES PERSON CONTACTED ME TO TRY TO SELL ME A NEW CAR BUT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NEVER RETURNED THE CALL. I CALLED THEM BACK AND THEY SUPPOSEDLY ORDERED THE PART BUT NEVER ADVISED ME IF THE PART WAS AVAILABLE. FURTHER CALLS NOT RETURNED. CONTACTED OAKLAND HONDA WHO SAID THEY HAD THE PARTS BUT REFUSED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT - SAID IT'S FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED. I'M AN ELDERLY WOMAN AND NOT WELL. I CANNOT BE EXPECTED TO SHOW UP AND EITHER WAIT AND WAIT OR FIND OUT THAT THERE IS NO PART AVAILABLE WHEN I GET THERE. I CALLED SAN LEANDRO HONDA - LEFT MESSAGES BUT THEY NEVER RETURN THE CALL. PLEASE HAVE SOMEONE TAKE CARE OF THIS! IT'S NOT GOOD SERVICE AT ALL AND NOT REALISTIC TO HAVE ME NEVER HAVE A PASSENGER WHILE I'M WAITING FOR THIS TO BE RESOLVED.

2011 HONDA FIT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR DRIVER FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL NOTICE. *SMD
I RECEIVED A NOTICE REGARDING THE DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. THE LETTER STATED THAT PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE RECALL IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. IT HAS BEEN 9 MONTHS, AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS FAILED TO PROVIDE A REMEDY IN A TIMELY MANNER.
ON 11-8-16 I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A STREET. JUST BEFORE I WAS COMING UP TO A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I NOTICE THE RADIO GOING IN AND OUT AND THEN THE STEERING WHEEL GETTING STIFF. I WENT THROUGH THE LIGHT ONTO A HIGHWAY AND PULLED OVER AND SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I CALLED A FRIEND, WHO HELPED ME OUT. AFTER RESTARTING CAR IT DID NOT REOCCUR BUT STILL HAVE BIG CONCERNS.
TAKATA RECALL TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY, 2016 AND CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER TO SCHEDULE A RECALL FIX. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM AS OF TODAY.
TAKATA RECALL - HONDA INFORMED ME IN FEB 2016 ABOUT THE RECALL REGARDING THE AIRBAG HOWEVER I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING SINCE THEN. 9 MONTHS LATER AND NO RESOLUTION. THIS IS NOT BEING HANDLED IN A TIMELY MANNER. ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN KNOWN TO KILL DRIVERS. THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS TO FILE A A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT IF THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER.
TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THE RECALL OF MY 2009 HONDA FIT LAST SPRING AND SO FAR NEITHER HONDA NOR THE DEALER HAS MADE THE REPLACEMENT AIR-BAGS AVAILABLE. I FIND THIS VERY UPSETTING. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO SPEED THIS ACTION UP? DATE OF RECALL GIVEN BELOW IS APPROXIMATE. THANK YOU.

WHILE TURNING ONTO A STREET FROM A STOPPED POSITION, MY WHEEL JERKED, THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF THEN BACK ON AGAIN BUT THE STEERING WAS STUCK. I COULDN'T TURN THE WHEEL AND WHEN IT WOULD LET ME THE RADIO SYSTEM WOULD GO OUT AND THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AND BACK ON AFTER THE STEERING WHEEL JERK AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL. NOTICE OF RECALL WAS SENT TO ME IN MARCH, 2016. THE LETTER INDICATED PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016. IN EARLY AUGUST, WHEN I CONTACTED MY HONDA DEALER (SHOFIELD HOMDA, WICHITA KS), I WAS TOLD THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED AND WOULD ARRIVE IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS. IT HAS NOW BEEN 7 WEEKS AND I'VE HEARD NOTHING.
WE PLACED AN ORDER TO FIX THE "PASSENGER" AIRBAG, AFTER RECEIVING A LETTER FROM HONDA. THIS HAS BEEN 2 MONTHS AGO. WE ASKED FOR A RENTAL, AS WE WERE GIVEN ONE FOR OUR "DRIVER" AIRBAG. THEY REFUSED, SAYING THE PASSENGER MUST SIT IN THE BACK SEAT. I HAVE ARTHRITIS, AND BAD BACK, AND TO GET INTO THE BACK SEAT IS HARD. WE HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND THE HONDA DEALER'S SERVICE DEPT. AND NO LUCK THERE. THE PART ISN'T IN YET. THEY SAY THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT. OUR CASE # 04972087. MY THINKING IS THEY DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR A RENTAL, AS IF NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SIDE, AND THERE IS AN ACCIDENT, IT WON'T DEPLOY. I DON'T THINK I SHOULD HAVE TO BE INCONVENIENCED BY THEIR FAULTY AIRBAGS. IF I SELL THIS CAR, I WONT' GET AS MUCH OUT OF IT BECAUSE OF THE UNREPAIRED AIRBAG. SO, IF YOU WOULD, COULD YOU PLEASE HELP US? SINCERELY *TR

IT HAS BEEN WAITING FOR THE AIRBAG PARTS MORE THAN 80 DAYS, AND THE DEALER SAID THE PARTS ARE CURRENTLY STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND CANNOT TELL ME THE STATUS OR ANY MORE INFORMATION WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING.

"TAKATA RECALL" I MADE AN APPOINTMENT ON JULY 2, 2016 AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, VANDERGRIFF HONDA, ARLINGTON TX AND WAS TOLD THEY HAD THE AIRBAGS IN STOCK. I TOOK MY CAR IN ON MY APPOINTMENT JULY 5, 2016 AND RECEIVED A CALL THAT DAY THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE NOT IN STOCK. I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM AND IT WOULD TAKE 6 WEEKS. I CALLED BACK AUGUST 17, 2016 AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE STILL NOT IN, THEY WERE COMING IN SPORADICALLY. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2016 AND STILL NO ANSWER AS TO WHEN I CAN GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. IT IS WELL OVER THE 60 DAYS REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME THAT I HAVE HAD TO WAIT. I AM TIRED OF FEELING STRESSED EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR WITH THESE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS.
DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG RECALL: I RECEIVED A DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG RECALL IN MARCH 2016. I'VE CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER, SCOTT ROBINSON IN TORRANCE, CA AT LEAST 8 TIMES BEGINNING IN MARCH 2016 AND MOST RECENTLY IN AUGUST 2016. THE FIRST FEW MONTHS SCOTT ROBINSON SAID PARTS WEREN'T AVAILABLE AND THEY COULDN'T PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. FINALLY IN AUGUST THEY SAID THEY COULD ORDER THE PARTS AND IT WOULD TAKE 4-6 WEEKS FOR THE PART TO COME IN, BUT THEY REITERATED THAT THEY CAN'T PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. ON AUGUST 22, 2016 I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AND REQUESTED ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. THROUGHOUT THE WEEK OF AUGUST 22 - 25 (MON - THURS) I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES AS THEY ASKED ME TO CALL MY LOCAL DEALERS (WHICH I TWO DIFFERENT ONES) TO TRY TO GET ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION AND TO CALL THEM BACK TO ESCALATE MY CASE BECAUSE OF MY UPCOMING TRIPS WITH MY PREGNANT WIFE IN MY CAR. AMERICAN HONDA SAID THEY WOULD OPEN A CASE AND GET BACK TO ME TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION BY 8/29/2016. AMERICAN HONDA ALSO TOLD ME A MANAGER WOULD CALL ME BACK ON 8/25/16 OR 8/26/16 AT THE LATEST BUT I NEVER RECEIVED ANY CALLS AS OF 9/5/2016 (AND NO MISSED CALLS). AMERICAN HONDA CONTINUES TO GIVE ME THE RUN-AROUND FOR A CASE I INITIATED IN MARCH 2016. THEY HAVE HAD AWARENESS THAT I AM DRIVING WITH A LIFE-THREATENING DEFECT AND ARE NOT TAKING ANY ACTION, WHICH IS CRIMINAL.
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE, IT WOULD NOT MOVE IN REVERSE. GEAR WOULD SHIFT TO REVERSE BUT CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. HONDA DEALERSHIP STATED THAT RODENTS CHEWED THROUGH WIRING ON CABLE HARNESS.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED TWO NOTICES OF THE RECALL SINCE MARCH. WHEN I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO IN EARLY JULY 2016, THEY SAID PACIFIC HONDA IN HONOLULU (CURRENT RESIDENCE) SHOULD HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE. I CALLED PACIFIC HONDA ONLY TO BE PUT ON A WAITING LIST. IT IS NOW, AUGUST 25TH, AND STILL NO WORD OR CALL BACK TO SAY IF MY 2009 HONDA FIT WILL BE READY FOR SERVICE. WE ARE MOVING TO LOS ANGELES ON MONDAY, AUG 29TH AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE IT SERVICED AT THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP ASAP. I AM OUTRAGED AS TO HOW POORLY THIS DANGEROUS RECALL SITUATION HAS BEEN HANDLED. PACIFIC HONDA IS CONSIDERED IN THE HAH ZONES AND ALL CUSTOMERS SHOULD HAVE RECEIVED BETTER NOTIFICATION AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WERE READY FOR SERVICE. I EXPECTED HONDA TO CALL ME BEFORE OUR MOVE REGARDLESS OF HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON THE "WAITING LIST." I HAVE A DIABETIC TODDLER WHO RIDES IN THE BACK SEAT. THIS CANNOT PROLONG ANY FURTHER THAN IT ALREADY HAS.

TAKATA RECALL PARTS ARE ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND THEY ARE NO LONGER COMPENSATING OWNERS WITH RENTALS OR OTHERWISE. DEALER HAS NO IDEA WHEN IT WILL BE FIXED, AND I HAVE TO RELY ON SOMEONE ELSE TO DRIVE ME AROUND. AND, I DON'T LIKE MY VEHICLE NOT BEING USED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. THIS IS THEIR ERROR AND THEY NEED TO CONTINUE TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE AFFECTED.

TAKATA RECALL. GOT NOTIFICATION - REC'D 3/29/16. ON MY 2009 HONDA FIT. CONSTANT CONTACT WITH HONDA DEALERSHIP AND HONDA CORP. "PARTS NOT AVAILABLE YET". TODAY - I FIND I CAN GET A "LOANER" ACCORDING TO HONDA CORP. CALL DEALERSHIP - HAVE TO COME SIGN PAPERWORK AND GO TO ENTERPRISE FOR LOANER. ENTERPRISE TELLS ME THAT I NEED A $200.00 DEPOSIT - REFUNDABLE WHEN I BRING CAR BACK - AND PROOF OF INCOME. ALSO HAVE TO FIND OUT FROM HONDA WHAT THEY WILL PAY FOR WEEKLY RENTAL - I ONLY ASKED FOR ECONOMY CAR. THEY GIVE ME $$ AMOUNT - NOW I HAVE TO FIND OUT FROM HONDA DEALERSHIP IF THEY WILL PAY $35.00 PER DAY. HONDA CORP SAYS PAYING THIS AMOUNT IS UP TO DEALERSHIP. I'VE NEVER HAD AN ACCIDENT / EVEN A TICKET AND 66 YRS. YOUNG. WHY DO I HAVE TO PUT UP WITH ALL THESE PHONE CALLS - 1/2 THE TIME THE DEALERSHIP WON'T EVEN RETURN MY PHONE CALLS! PAYING MY "LOANER FEE" SEEMS A WHOLE LOT CHEAPER - THAN GOD FORBID I HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT.

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.
