2006 Honda Civic Air Bags

TAKATA RECALL - I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SINCE THE MIDDLE OF JUNE. BOTH MY BOYFRIEND AND I LIVE TOGETHER. WE BOTH DRIVE THE SAME CAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT HIS IS AN '07. WE BOTH HAVE RECALLS ON OUR PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND WE HAVE A SWITCH THAT INDICATES WHEN NOBODY IS THE PASSENGER SEAT IT SHUTS OFF THE AIRBAG. UNFORTUNATELY, BOTH OF OUR VEHICLES DON'T DO THAT, THE LIGHT NEVER INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG IS SHUT OFF AND THAT MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG IS STILL ACTIVE. SO IN OTHER WORDS IF WE GET HIT, EVEN THOUGH NOBODY IS IN THE SEAT, OUR PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE GOING OFF. IVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE REGARDING THIS AND EVEN SUBMITTED PHOTOS. FINALLY, THEY CALLED ME REGARDING ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION ON 8/15 BUT TODAY, 8/16, MY CASE MANAGER YVONNE, STATED THAT I WAS DENIED ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. I LOVE THAT HONDA THINKS THIS IS A GAME. IN OTHER WORDS, MY BOYFRIEND AND I ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE SEPARATE CARS TO THE GROCERY STORE OR WHEN WE GO OUT OF TOWN. WE CARPOOL AND I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE CASE MANAGER AND SEVERAL PEOPLE BUT I GUESS MY BOYFRIEND'S LIFE OR MY LIFE DON'T REALLY MATTER TO THEM. MY CASE MANAGER YVONNE, STATED THAT SHE IS ORDERING A PART TO FIX MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND I MAY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR. I WONDER WHEN THIS WILL EVEN COME IN BY THEN MY AIRBAG MAY GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING OR WHAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. BELOW, I HAVE SUBMITTED PHOTOS OF MY CAR WHILE IT'S ON AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT IS OFF WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON.

I RECEIVED A PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL NOTICE JULY 23, 2016. UPON RESEARCH, HONDA RECALL WEBSITE STATES NOTICES WILL GO OUT JUNE23? WHY WAS MY NOTICE NOT RECEIVED UNTIL 30 DAYS LATER? ADDITIONALLY- WE ARE SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE ANOTHER NOTICE "LATE JULY TO AUGUST". AND THE NOTICE SAYS DO NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE? THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE! BETWEEN CAR POOL, TAKING KIDS TO SCHOOL, TAKING KIDS TO SPORTS PRACTICES- WHERE ARE THEY ALL SUPPOSED TO SIT? IF YOU CANNOT EXPEDITE REPAIRS, PARTS, OR THE RECALL NOTICE, A FREE RENTAL SHOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE LIABILITY POSITION YOU HAVE JUST PLACED YOURSELF IN IS ABSOLUTELY TRAUMATIC. I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT TANAKA AIR BAGS FOR OVER A YEAR AND ALL THE ASSOCIATED INJURIES AND DEATHS-- AND WE JUST NOW RECEIVE NOTIFICATION?? AND NOW YOUR TELLING US TO WAIT MORE TIME FOR ANOTHER NOTICE? DO PEOPLE'S LIVES NOT MATTER TO YOU, HONDA, OR TANAKA? I HOPE THIS AND OTHER EMAILS ARE USED IN COURT SO COMPLETE A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST EVERYONE INVOLVED. GOD FORBID ANYTHING HAPPEN TO MY KIDS- AND TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE, AND SAVE LIVES- YOU ARE SIMPLY SAYING "HERE IS A LATE NOTICE- OH YA, AND WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING BUT WE'LL LET YOU KNOW AT A LATER TIME."

TAKATA RECALL NHTSA RECALL # 16V-346 THIS IS NOT A COMPLAINT AGAINST MY HONDA DEALERSHIP. RATHER, IT IS A QUERY OF THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE. THE DEALERSHIP IS DUE TO REPLACE THE TAKATA PASSENGER AIR BAG INFLATOR ON JULY 16. HOW WILL I BE ABLE TO DETERMINE WHETHER THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NOT DEFECTIVE AND MOST IMPORTANTLY WHETHER THE INSTALLATION WAS DONE CORRECTLY. THANK YOU.

I HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE INITIAL NOTICE SINCE LAST 3 MONTHS AND YET NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR WITHOUT PROVIDING ME AN ALTERNATIVE/RENTAL MODE OF TRANSPORTATION. I TRAVEL 50 MILES, EVERYDAY. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR THAT I HAVE AND MY FIANCE CANNOT EVEN RIDE WITH ME, WITHOUT TAKING THE DANGER OF BEING KILLED BY THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. MY CAR ALSO SHOWS SOMETIMES THE AIRBAG LIGHT, FOR WHICH DEALERS WANT $100 TO DIAGNOSE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY ANNOUNCING THE RECALL OF MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER, OCEAN HONDA OF SANTA CRUZ, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK WHEN THEY HAD INFORMATION. I RECEIVED NO CALL BACK AND TODAY CALLED AMERICAN HONDA WHERE I WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER 04991690. THEY TOLD ME THE DEALER SHOULD HAVE HAD ACCESS TO THE PROPER PARTS LONG BEFORE NOW AND THAT I SHOULD CONTACT OCEAN HONDA FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. I LEFT A TELEPHONE MESSAGE AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT DURING BUSINESS HOURS AND THEY NEVER CALLED ME BACK.

I RECENTLY HAD MY AIR BAG LIGHT COME ON. CAR WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER PAID 115.00 FOR A SRS DIAGNOSTIC. THEY SAID THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT WEIGHT SENSOR WAS FAULTY AND WAS NOT RECEIVING ANY SIGNAL. THEY RECOMMENDED REPLACING THE PASSENGER OUTER AND INNER WEIGHT SENSOR AT A WHOPPING COST OF NEARLY 900.00 THIS MANUFACTURING SAFETY FAILURE IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY COVERED MY FAILING PAINT JOB ONE YEAR AGO BUT FAIL TO COVER A SAFETY ISSUE THAT IF IN AN ACCIDENT WILL NOT DEPLOY MY PASSENGERS AIRBAG AND ALSO WONT LOCK THE SEAT BELT PUTTING ANYBODY IN THAT SEAT AT GRAVE DANGER. SINCE THE SENSOR IS FAULTY AND DOES NOT DETECT ANYONE SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. OTHER CIVIC OWNERS SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. HOW CAN ONE GET THE DEALER TO OWN UP TO ITS PRODUCT AND REPLACE ITS FAULTY SAFETY EQUIPMENT IN THEIR VEHICLES. SMH *TR
