2007 Honda Civic Air Bags

The contact owns a 2007 Honda Civic. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V346000 (Air Bags) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted and made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The air bag light has been coming on and staying on more frequently yet there are no recalls for this vehicle.

I HAD DEER HIT ON I-80 WEST AT MILE STONE 294.2. IN PENNSYLVANIA. MY SPEED WAS 55 MPH I HIT BRAKES BUT DESPITE THAT CAR HIT DEER AND COMPLETELY DAMAGED. DESPITE SUCH A ACCIDENT NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG WAS INFLATED. IN 2015 I GOT LETTER OF RECALL FROM HONDA ON AIR BAG. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED THEY FIXED IT. BUT IN ACCIDENT NOT A SINGLE AIR BAG WAS INFLATED. VEHICLE IS TOTALED. HONDA HAS COMPROMISED SAFETY OF VEHICLE AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON

NHTSA RECALL # 16V346 WAS ISSUED ON JULY 20, 2016 TO REPLACE FAULTY AIRBAGS THAT SPLIT ON IMPACT. THIS NOTICE ONLY REPLACED THE PASSAGE SIDE AIR BAG. I ASSUMED THE DRIVERS SIDE WOULD BE REPLACED AT A LATER DATE BUT AS YET HAVEN'T RECEIVED A NOTICE. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL CENTER, MAILED NOTIFICATION TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS AIRBAG WILL BEGIN IN APRIL 2019, BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN, 90 YRS OLD AND STILL DRIVING INDEPENDENTLY. AN IMPACT WITH A FAULTY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD BE DEVASTATING AND POSSIBLY FATAL. THIS IS MY FORMAL CLAIM TO HAVE MY DRIVERS AIRBAG REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE CALLED ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS TOLD THAT HONDA WILL CALL ME BACK. IT WAS HONDA THAT I CALLED. SINCE THEN THE AIRBAG ON MY HONDA HAS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON. I CALLED AGAIN AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN HELPED. IT DEPLOYED WHILE I WAS AT A RED LIGHT

AFTER THE RECALL，MY SIDE AIR BAG HAS PROBLEM AND NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE AIRBAG LIGHT ON AND DEALER CHECKING. I WONDER IF THIS IS DUE TO THE AIR BAG QUALITY ISSUES.

'TAKATA RECALL'

TAKATA RECALL: I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING A HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT HAS FAILED TO HELP WITH MY RECALL. I CONTACTED THE HONDA OF SERRAMONTE WHEN I FIRST GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL IN OCTOBER 2016. SINCE THEN I HAVE CALLED TWICE AND THEY TOLD ME IT MAY TAKE A MONTH TO GET THE PARTS IN ONCED I HAVE ORDERED IT, WHICH I DID. I THEN CALLED AFTER ANOTHER TWO MONTHS AND THEY FORWARDED ME TO THE PERSON THAT IS IN CHARGE OF THE RECALL. SHE ONLY HAD A VOICEMAIL AND I LEFT ONE FOR HER. EACH TIME I CALLED, I GOT FORWARDED FROM PERSON TO PERSON AND NO ONE REALLY HELPING ME DEAL WITH THE ISSUE. EVERYDAY I'M DRIVING AROUND WORRIED THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH MY AIRBAG, HOW WILL I HAVE A RECORD OF REPORTING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED. DEALERSHIP 485 SERRAMONTE BLVD COLMA, CA 94014 PHONE NUMBER (650) 758-4800

I WAS NOTIFIED THAT MY CAR IS BEING RECALLED FOR AIRBAG PROBLEMS. AS INSTRUCTED I TELEPHONED FOR AN APPOINTMENT AT HONDA ON JULY 24TH, JULY 27TH AND JULY 29TH 2016, AT THE NUMBER THEY GAVE ME THEIR LETTER. I DID NOT HEAR BACK, SO I LEFT SEVERAL MORE MESSAGES AND EMAILS, BUT STILL NEVER HEARD BACK FOR AN APPOINTMENT. IT HAS BEEN OVER SIX MONTHS AND I STILL HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. IN JULY 2016, WE RECEIVED INITIAL NOTIFICATION OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. WE CALLED THE DEALER DAY, MIDLANDS HONDA, TO GET IT REPAIRED. MIDLANDS HONDA, IN LEXINGTON, SC TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PART WAS IN. IN OCTOBER 2016, I CALLED THE MIDLANDS HONDA, SINCE WE HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME IF THE PART HAD BEEN ORDERED. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA, AND THEY SAID WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE DEALER. WE HAVE WAITED OVER 6 MONTHS TO GET THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING RECALL REPAIRED, AND NEITHER THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER, NOR AMERICAN HONDA, IS DOING ANYTHING TO GET THIS REPAIRED. I'M NOT SURE IF I NEED TO GET AN ATTORNEY INVOLVED, OR NOT. WE NEED TO GET THIS AIRBAG RECALL REPAIRED, BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO HONDA'S LACK OF RESPONSE, AND APPARENT LACK OF INTEREST IN THEIR CUSTOMERS WELL BEING. PLEASE PROVIDE SOME ASSISTANCE. THANK YOU. *TR

THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON

TAKATA RECALL: I TOOK MY CAR TO POWAY HONDA (POWAY, CA 92064). THEY CHARGED ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIX THIS RECALL. I DON'T THINK IT WAS FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL. MY WIFE HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER CALLED ME TELLING ME THAT THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON WHEN MY WIFE DROPPED IT OFF (I LATER FOUND OUT FROM MY WIFE THAT THEY WERE LYING ABOUT THIS - THE SRS LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN SHE DROPPED IT OFF). THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE FIXING THE RECALL DIDN'T CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO OFF THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG AND THEY NEEDED TO RUN ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS FOR WHICH THEY CHARGED ME $120.88. AFTER RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTICS THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR... I TOLD THEM THAT WAS WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR, THEN HE QUICKLY CHANGED HIS STORY A COUPLE OF TIMES FROM IT BEING THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND THEN THE PASSENGER AGAIN. IT SOUNDED A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS, AND MY SUSPICIONS WERE CONFIRMED AFTER TALKING TO MY WIFE, WHO STATED THAT THE SRS NOR ANY OTHER WARNING LIGHT WAS ON.

RECEIVED LETTER FROM HONDA DATED APRIL 2017. CALLED DEALER-BOB HOWARD ON APRIL 20, 2017 TO SCHEDULE APPOINTMENT. THEY ADVISED THEY WILL CALL ME AND I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM. THEIR PHONE NUMBER IS 405-753-8700.
