TAKATA RECALL: I SAW THE NEWS ABOUT RECALLING THE VEHICLE FOR AIR BAG SAFETY. I AM NOT SURE WHY NOBODY CONTACT ME SINCE MY CAR'S MODEL IS IN THE RECALLING LIST. HONDA ACCORD 2009

TAKATA AIRBAGS I CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES LAST YEAR AND TWO YEARS AGO BECAUSE MY PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD KEEP COMING ON AND THE VEHICLE WAS NEVER IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT TO SET OFF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I COMPLAINED IN PERSON AT A HONDA DEALERSHIP OF LISLE TO A RAY UNDERWOOD. RAY CLAIMED THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG AND THEY REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO MY VEHICLE UNTIL I PAID A MINIMUM $100 TESTING FEE. I AM A COLLEGE STUDENT WHO DOESNT HAVE ALOT OF EXTRA INCOME SO I WAS UNABLE TO PAY FOR THE FEE. I ARGUED THAT THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN FREE DO TO THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE CLAIM CONSIDERING I HAVE PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE ALL THE TIME AND I WOULD NEVER WANT TO PUT THEM IN HARMS WAY. RAY AGAIN REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING. I CALLED HONDA AND THEY REFUSED TO REIMBURSE ME FOR THE FEE. NOW ABOUT 2 YEARS LATER I RECEIVED 2 LETTERS IN THE MAIL ABOUT MY VEHICLE HAVING DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS! ARE YOU PEOPLE IGNORANT, INCOMPETENT, STUPID OR ALL 3? I AM CURRENTLY GIVING ALL DOCUMENTATION TO MY LAWYER FOR FURTHER ACTION. I WANT HONDA OF LISLE REPORTED TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU AS WELL AS THEIR GENERAL MANAGER KEN UNDERWOOD. THIS IS A SHADY WAY TO CONDUCT BUSINESS AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DO TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE AS WELL AS TAKATA'S NEGLIGENCE.

WAS IN AN ACCIDENT AND AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY AND THEY SHOULD HAVE ITS FRONT END DAMAGE

TAKATA RECALL, I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO AUTOMATICALLY GO OFF, THAT'S SCARY, AND IT SHOULD BE REPLACED BY TAKATA AT NO COST TO MYSELF. UNETHICAL, UNSAFE, AND A DANGER TO OTHER DRIVERS AS WELL!

TAKATA INFLATORS RECALL LETTER DATED JULY 2016. WAS TOLD I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY FALL 2016 AND TO AVOID HAVING ANYONE IN MY PASSANGER SIDE UNTIL REPAIRS ARE COMPLETED. NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME ITS BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS & FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND BOTH FRONT AIR BAGS NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RECALL.

SRS UNIT FAILED AFTER RECALL COMPLETED OF THE INFLATOR RECALL. HONDA DOES HAVE A 15 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS PART, BUT WOULD NOT APPLY IT SINCE THE TECHNICIAN WAS NOT ABLE TO READ THE ERROR CODES. INFLATOR WAS REPLACED AROUND FEBRUARY, SRS LIGHT CAME ON IN MAY AND REPAIRS WAS COMPLETED ON 7/11/17 AT MY EXPENSE.

HELLO, NEITHER THE NHTSA RECALL WEBSITE NOR HONDA'S WEBSITE INDICATES THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG IGNITER ON MY VEHICLE, YET THE DEALERSHIP MAILED/CALLED ME ABOUT AN AIRBAG SAFETY RECALL. WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM, THEY WERE ABLE TO SHOW THAT THEY VERIFIED THE RECALL APPLIES TO MY VEHICLE. MY QUESTION/CONCERN: WHY WOULD THE DEALER HAVE ACCESS TO SAFETY INFORMATION THAT IS HIDDEN FROM THE PUBLIC? I'VE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH A CRITICAL SAFETY DEFECT WITH A FALSE SENSE OF SAFETY.

I BOUGHT THE HONDA ACCORD NEW IN 2009 IN FLORIDA. I GAVE THE CAR TO MY DAUGHTER IN 2016 AND SHE MOVED TO ILLINOIS. SHE HAD THE AIRBAG RECALL REPAIRED ON 6/24/17 BUT AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS STILL ON. THE DEALER STATES THERE IS A "FRONT WEIGHT SENSOR FAILURE" AND NEEDS TO BE REPAIRED FOR COST OF $882.32. HONDA INDICATES THIS PART IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WILL NOT PAY FOR REPAIRS. I BELIEVE THE AIRBAGS SHOUD BE FUNCTIONAL AFTER THE RECALL REAIR WAS COMPLETED.

THE DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG AND SIDE CURTAIN AND PASSENGERS FRONT AIR BAG DEPLOYED AS MY SON WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT WHERE HE WORKS. THANK GOD HE WORKS AT A HOSPITAL. I THOUGHT HONDAS WAS SAFE BUT HAVE MY DOUBTS NOW? IT'S SEEMS LIKE NO ONE WANTS TO HELP OTHER THAN OUR INSURANCE. HE SAID HE WAS MAYBE GOING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA ACCORD. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND REMAINED LIT. AN UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AT 318-445-6677 TO INQUIRE ABOUT THE NOTICE FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 70,000.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHILE DRIVING, THE LIGHT INDICATING PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF LIGHT COMES ON THEN TURNS OFF, AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES IT COMES BACK ON. THAT WORRIES ME.

AIRBAG SETTLEMENT RECALL

WE'VE BEEN CALLING GUNN HONDA IN SAN ANTONIO TX SINCE AUGUST OF 2016. SINCE THEN, AT EACH CALL WE'VE HEARD "THE PARTS WON'T BE IN FOR TWO WEEKS, AND WE'LL CALL YOU". WE RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA TODAY TO ASK IF THE CAR HAD BEEN SOLD OR DEMOLISHED, SO WE CALLED GUNN HONDA. THEY SAID THEY HADN'T EVER HEARD OF US, BUT THEY'LL TAKE THE CAR MONDAY. THEY WON'T SAY HOW LONG REPAIRS WILL TAKE. I FEAR AS THIS IS A RECALL INSTEAD OF A "PAYING" JOB, THEY'LL KEEP THE CAR FOR ANOTHER SIX MONTHS WITH AN ESTIMATE OF "TWO WEEKS".
