I WAS INFORMED OF AN AIRBAG RECALL IN JULY 2016 AND WAS TOLD PARTS NEEDED WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016. IT HAS BEEN 5 MONTHS AND STILL NO COMMUNICATION FROM MANUFACTURER AND NO REPAIR HAS BEEN MADE.

TAKATA RECALL I WAS INFORMED BY MY FRIEND TO CHECK THE VIN OF MY CAR FOR A RECALL ON 6/24/16 BECAUSE HE RECEIVED A NOTICED ABOUT A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS OF HONDA VEHICLES. I SEARCHED MY VIN ON THE RICK CASE HONDA DAVIE WEBSITE AND FOUND OUT MY CAR WAS AFFECTED AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GO IN ON 7/2/16 12 PM. WHEN I WENT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MY APPOINTMENT WITH ARNOLD FERNANDEZ, HE STATED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND HAD TO ORDER IT BY EACH CAR'S VIN. HE TOLD ME HE ORDERED THE PART AND WHEN IT WAS READY SOMEONE FROM HONDA WOULD CALL ME AND HELP ME MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME TO BRING MY CAR IN TO FIX IT. HE TOLD ME IT WOULD PROBABLY TAKE 2 WEEKS. LATE JULY I FINALLY RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA INFORMING ME ABOUT THE RECALL. AT THIS TIME IT HAD BEEN 3 WEEKS SINCE THE PART WAS SUPPOSEDLY ORDERED, I CALLED HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE TO SEE IF THE PART WAS IN YET AND THEY SAID IF I DIDN'T RECEIVE A CALL FROM THEM THEN ITS NOT IN YET. I ASKED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP TO CHECK TO MAKE SURE THE PART WAS ORDERED AND SHE SAID SHE COULD NOT CHECK AND I HAD TO WAIT FOR THE CALL. IT IS NOW 8/31/16, EXACTLY 60 DAYS FROM THE DAY I MADE MY FIRST APPOINTMENT WITH THEM ON 7/2/16. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN A CAR FOR 60 DAYS THAT IS UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.

TAKATA RECALL: I AM TRYING TO DETERMINE WHETHER I NEED TO TAKE MY 2011 HONDA CIVIC SEDAN IN TO CHECK THE AIR BAGS AND POSSIBLY REPLACE THEM.

I WAS STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION. A GMC SUV WENT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, ACROSS FROM ME, T-BONED A SUBARU THAT HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY, AND THEN THE GMC CRASHED INTO MY FRONT END. THE ACCIDENT DESTROYED MY FRONT END AND MOVED MY CAR INTO AN ANGLE. NEITHER MY DRIVERS OR PASSENGERS AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE ACCIDENT MISSED AN AIRBAG SENSOR, BUT I WOULD BE AMAZED.
