2010 Honda Fit Air Bags

WE KEEP GETTING NOTIFICATIONS THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE OUR AIR BAGS. BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT BAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY GUSTMAN IN APPLETON, WI. THEY SAID THAT THEY NOTIFIED YOU AND I PERSONALLY HAVE SENT PAPERWORK. I REFUSE TO SEND MORE AND WOULD LIKE TO BE TAKEN OFF THE LIST. I WILL NOW BE DESTROYING THIS MAILING AND WILL NOT OPEN ANY MORE. I WILL SEND THEM BACK TO YOU

TAKATA RECALL!!!!! FIRST IT WAS DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG AFTER SEPARATELY PAYING $700 TO GET MPG BACK TO SPEC. AIRBAG: ENTERED DEALER GETTING 33 MPG, LEFT GETTING 28MPG. SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN A REPAIR SHOP DID MY EMISSIONS TEST. A FRIEND GOT MPG AGAIN BACK TO SPEC 33 CHARGED $125 (NOT $700). NOW HONDA WANTS TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG!!! WANTED $1000 TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WITH A NEW DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. GOOGLE SEARCH THE GUY WHO GOT FOUR OF THEM!!! SAFELITE CHARGED ~$450. SEVERAL PEOPLE SAID NOTHING IS "FREE" ABOUT RECALLS, AND I DO NOT WANT HONDA TOUCHING MY CAR!!! I HAVE COMMUNICATED, THAT I WANT SOMEONE I CAN TRUST TO DO THE AIRBAG, TO AT LEAST 5 HONDA REPRESENTATIVES AND THEIR RESPONSE IS ALWAYS THE SAME: SILENCE! ... AND THEN MORE SCREAMING RED MAIL!!!! WELL I AM SCREAMING TOO!!!!! TELL ME OF AN INDEPENDENT NON-HONDA SHOP I CAN TAKE IT TO, AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO GET THIS DEADLY THING OUT OF MY CAR!!!!! NOW YOU WANT A DATE????? BEEN HARASSED AND RIPPED OFF FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SHOULD JUST SELL THAT DEADLY PC OF JUNK!!!!! THERE IS MORE UNRELATED STUFF I COULD WASTE YOUR TIME AND MINE TELLING YOU

I HAD ONCE OWN THIS VEHICLE IN WHICH I WAS MAKING PAYMENTS. I HAD SLID ON ICE AND SNOW ONE YEAR AND WENT INTO A DITCH AND HIT A MAIL BOX WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO A POST. THERE WAS DAMAGE UNDERNEATH AS WELL AS A LITTLE DAMAGE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIR BAG NEVER DID DEPLOY AND I RECENTLY HAD A NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE LISTED HAVING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA IN JULY 2016 ALERTING ME OF THE RECALL AFFECTING PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN A REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE. AS OF FEBRUARY 26, 2017, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED INFORMATION BY MAIL OF ANY REMEDY. FURTHERMORE, I WAS NOT MADE AWARE BY HONDA THAT A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED FOR DRIVER AIR BAGS.

HONDA HAS REPLACED THE DRIVER AIRBAG BUT NOT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. BOTH THE DEALER HERE IN IL AND HONDA ON THE WEST COAST INITIALLY INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL - HOWEVER, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT BRAND OR MAKE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED. IT SEEMED VERY STRANGE TO ME THAT A CAR MANUFACTURER WHO UTILIZES JUST-IN-TIME PARTS INSTALLATION WOULD HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AND A NON-TAKATA (OR DIFFERENT MODEL TAKATA AIRBAG) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE - THUS I REQUESTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE MGR ON THE WEST COAST CONTACT HONDA JAPAN TO DETERMINE THE EXACT MAKE/MODEL OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IN EARLY DECEMBER 2016 HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS INDEED A TAKATA AIRBAG OF THE TYPE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD AN ADDITIONAL RECALL WOULD BE FORTHCOMING AND THAT I SHOULD SECURE REPLACEMENT IN 2017. I HAVE CHECKED YOUR SAFER.GOV WEBSITE WITH MY VIN AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS NOT BEEN ADDED. HAS HONDA APPRISED YOU THAT ADDITIONAL AIRBAGS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, AND IF SO, WHEN WILL YOU UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE TO REFLECT SAME. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG GRATIS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE UNIT IS RECALLED. AWAIT YOUR ADVICE/UPDATE. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING HERITAGE HONDA IN WESTMINSTER MD FOR OVER A YEAR IN RESPONSE TO A SAFETY RECALL LETTER TO REPAIR MY AIRBAGS, BUT WAS TOLD THE REPAIR PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. A YEAR??????? WHEN WILL HONDA REPAIR THE FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATOR? I FEEL MY SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA HAS NOT REMEDIED THIS ISSUE IN A TIMELY MANNER. I WAS TOLD THE MATTER WOULD BE HANDLED IN 2016 AND IT HAS NOT. IT HAS BEEN MORE THAN SIXTY DAYS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH A PASSENGER, WHICH IS A TREMENDOUS INCONVENIENCE.

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL IN JULY 2016 AND CALLED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE NOTICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD BE IN WITHIN A MONTH, BUT HAVE FOLLOWED UP MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THIS BECAUSE THE PART HAS BEEN BACKLOGGED. IT HAS BEEN OVER 60 DAYS SINCE MY INITIAL PHONE CALL RELAYING MY CONCERN WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR. HONDA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME. ALL THEY TELL ME EACH TIME I CALL IS TO WAIT UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR THAT OUR FAMILY USES TO COMMUTE TO/FROM WORK, AND SEEING AS HOW WE HAVE A FULL FAMILY, SOMEONE HAS TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. BEING PREGNANT, I AM CONCERNED FOR MY AND MY BABY'S SAFETY. I DO NOT APPRECIATE EXPRESSING MY CONCERNS FOR MY SAFETY AND HONDA'S RESPONSE BEING TO JUST SIT AND WAIT UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. THEY SHOULD BE MAKING MORE OF AN EFFORT TO FIX THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2016. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA'S SERVICE.

"TACIT RECALL" I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL TO CONTACT NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL AND HOW TO GET IT FIXED. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS AND JUST TO KEEP CALLING BECAUSE THEY HAD NO IDEA WHEN THEY WOULD GET THE PARTS IN. IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS OF ME CALLING AND ASKING AND STILL THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION. I DRIVE AROUND MY DISABLED FATHER AND THIS IS VERY SCARY FOR THE BOTH OF US.
