"TAKATA RECALL" - I HAVE GONE TO TWO DIFFERENT HONDA DEALERSHIPS TO HAVE MY AIRBAGES REPLACE AND BOTH DEALS HAVE INFORMED ME THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE TAKEN MY CIVIC TO OURISMAN'S HONDA OF LAUREL ON 10/18/14 AND 10/27/14. I CONTINUED TO CALL AND TAKE MY CAR TO BE SERVICE AT THAT LOCATION ABOUT FOUR MONTHS BEFORE TAKING MY CAR TO POHANKA HONDA CAPTIOL HEIGHTS. MY FIRST INQUIRE ABOUT THE AIRBAGS WAS ON 2/20/15. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS. IT'S BEE OVER YEAR AND NO ONE HAS REPLACE THE AIRBAGS OR CONTACTED ME TO BRING MY CALL IN. I CALL POHANKA HONDA TODAY (8/16/16 @ 6:35) AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGE FOR MY VIN. HOWEVER, THE PAPERWORK DATED 2/20/16 INDICATES THAT AIRBAGE REPLACEMENT WAS NOT COMPLETED. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY ITS BEEN OVER AN YEAR AND NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME TO REPLACE MY AIRBAGS.

HAD AN ACCIDENT ON THE WAY TO WORK. HIT A CAR STRAIGHT ON IN THE BACK. I WAS IN MOTION. MY FRONT END WAS TOTALLY SMASHED IN. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND NO ONE WAS IN THAT SEAT AND MY DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY AT ALL. I AM NOW SUFFERING SUBSTANTIAL PAIN AND BRUISES ACROSS MY CHEST, RIGHT BREAST AND ACROSS MY ENTIRE LOWER ABDOMEN. YES, THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN WORSE OR EVEN FATAL, BUT I'M BLESSED TO HAVE WALKED AWAY FROM THIS. I LOVE MY HONDA AND BEEN A HONDA OWNER SINCE ABOUT 2003. I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA BUT I HAVE MY DOUBTS NOW. IF THIS SHOULD HAPPEN AGAIN CAN I TRUST THAT THE NEXT CAR WILL DO THE JOB THAT IT WAS MEANT TO DO AS FAR AS THE AIR BAG IS CONCERNED I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TWICE TO HAVE IT SERVICED FOR THE TAKATA RECALLS. I ALSO WILL ADD THAT I GET MY SERVICE DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS WITH AN ACTUAL HONDA DEALER EVEN THOUGH MY CARE IS A 2002. CHECK THE RECORDS IF I AM NOT MISTAKEN, THE RECALLS WERE FOR DEFECTED INFLATION, NOT BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T DEPLOY AT ALL. MY QUESTION IS WHY DID MY AIRBAG NOT DO THE JOB THAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO?

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE VIA MAIL SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I FIRST VISITED THE HONDA DEALER IN BURLINGTON MASSACHUSETTS IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR AND I WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN THEY HAD THE PART NEEDED TO FIX THE CAR. BY THE END OF JULY, I HAD ALREADY RECEIVED A SECOND LETTER REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE AND THE HONDA DEALER STILL HADN'T CALLED ME. I WENT THE FOLLOWING WEEK AGAIN, SHOWED THEM THE LETTER AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL ME THE NEXT YEAR. AS FOR NOW, THEY HAVE NOT DONE SO. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST A YEAR! THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT CAN ACTUALLY KILL PEOPLE, THIS CAN NOT BE TAKEN AS A JOKE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA SAYING "...HAVE YOUR VEHICLE'S DRIVER'S FRONT AIRBAG INFLATOR REPLACED, AT NO COST TO YOU." THIS IS PART OF NHTSA RECALL 14V-351 I GO TO THE DEALER - KEN HARVEY'S DUBLIN HONDA AND THEY SAY THEY WILL INSPECT THE AIR BAG AND IF IT IS NOT A TANAKA INFLATOR, THEN IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED. I SHOW THEM THE RECALL NOTICE SAYING IT WOULD BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE REP SAID THAT PER HONDA, THEY ONLY INSPECT AND IF IT IS NOT A TANAKA, THEN IT WILL NOT BE REPLACED. EITHER AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR AND OR THE NHTSA SHOULD CLARIFY THIS RECALL NOTICE. HONDA KNOWS EXACTLY WHICH CAR I HAVE AND SHOULD KNOW WHICH INFLATOR I HAVE. THE RECALL NOTICE SAYS THEY WILL REPLACE IT, BUT THEY NOW CLAIM IT IS NOT A TANAKA INFLATOR AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE IT.

BUT DEALER STATES NEW SRS UNIT NEEDED AT MY COST OF ABOUT $ 800.00, OTHERWISE AIRBAG IS NOT GOING TO COME OUT AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT . I CALLED HONDA, HEADQUATER, THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE SRS UNIT. I AM STILL AT SAFETY RISK OF DRIVING VEHICLE IF AIR BAG IS NOT GOING TO WORK. I FILL THE ISSUE OF AIR BAG AND SRS UNIT BOTH ARE CONNECTED TO EACH OTHER FOR AIR BAG TO WORK AT THE TIME OF ACCIDENT, AND HONDA SHOULD REPLACE SRS UNIT ALSO UNDER SAFETY RECALL WITH AIR BAG REPLACEMENT CAMPAIGN.

MY HONDA HAS THE BAD AIR BAG INFLATORS THAT CAN BREAK APART AND INJURE OCCUPANTS AND CUT THE AIR BAG. THE RECALL TO REPLACE THESE INFLATORS IS LISTED ON THE HONDA WEB SITE AS ONLY APPLYING TO VEHICLES IN HOT/HUMID CLIMATES. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO CHANGE. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BECAUSE I LIVE IN WYOMING. I WANT TO KNOW WHY HONDA HASN'T RECALLED ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES, REGARDLESS OF LOCATION. *TR

I CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER IN ORDER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET TAKATA AIR BAGS REPLACED. I WAS PREVIOUSLY INFORMED BY HONDA THAT MY CAR WAS INCLUDED IN THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL AND I DID A SEARCH OF YOUR WEBSITE USING MY VIN NUMBER AND CONFIRMED THAT MY CAR WAS PART OF THE RECALL. WHEN I SPOKE WITH THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, THEY SAID I HAD TO HAVE SOME PAPERWORK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN SENT BY HONDA IN ORDER TO HAVE THE AIR BAGS REPLACED. WHEN I TOLD THEM I NO LONGER HAVE THE PAPERWORK, THEY STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THEY WILL NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAGS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BUT I NEED IT TO GET TO WORK. CAN YOU HELP RESOLVE THIS? THE HONDA DEALER CONTACT INFORMATION: CHAPMAN HONDA 4646 E. 22ND ST TUCSON, AZ.85711 520-445-4024
