2012 Honda Fit Air Bags

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD NO AIR BAGS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER HAD HER SIGN A DOCUMENT THAT THERE WERE NO AIR BAGS IN THE VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OFF. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V061000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NEITHER THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER ASSISTED IN GETTING THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT A LOANER VEHICLE, BUT HAD NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM HONDA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,652. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA AIRBAGS RECEIVED NOTIFICATION HAVE CONTACTED PORT CHARLOTTE HONDA WHERE I PURCHASED THE FIT 3 TIMES BUT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS AND AM TOLD TO KEEP CALLING BACK WHICH I DO. I WAS TOLD TO PARK THE CAR AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME A LOANER BUT I WOULD HAVE TO GET INSURANCE ON THE LOANER. I FEEL IT IS THEIR DEFECTIVE CAR WHICH I PURCHASED IN GOOD FAITH AND THEY SHOULD COVER THE INSURANCE. ALSO STOP PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER - REPAIR THE CAR -AND STOP TRYING TO PURCHASE IT BAC. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN SELLING.

TAKATA RECALL - I AM FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I WAS NOTIFIED IN EARLY MARCH THAT THIS PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE, AND 6 MONTHS LATER, THERE IS STILL NOT ANY PARTS AVAILABLE.I AM FEARFUL EVERY DAY I DRIVE THIS CAR. WHAT IS BEING DONE TO GET US REPLACEMENT PARTS? THIS IS MUCH TOO LONG.

TAKATA RECALL: MY FAMILY'S 2012 HONDA FIT WAS DRIVEN BY OUR 16 YEAR OLD SON. HONDA IS REFUSING TO PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE THAT OUR SON CAN DRIVE WHILE THE HONDA FIT IS OUT OF COMMISSION WHILE HONDA PRODUCES NEW AIRBAGS. I AM ATTACHING THE EMAILS I HAVE SENT TO HONDA IN WHICH I HAVE PROPOSED VARIOUS WAYS IN WHICH HONDA CAN PROVIDE A LOANER VEHICLE FOR MY SON. THE IMPACT OF HONDA'S POLICY IS EVEN HARDER ON FAMILIES WHOSE SOLE VEHICLE IS A RECALLED HONDA. FOR THOSE FAMILIES, HONDA'S POLIC LEAVES THOSE TEENAGERS WITHOUT ANY CAR TO DRIVE AT ALL AFTER THEIR FAMILY'S CAR HAS BEEN TURNED OVER TO HONDA FOR REPAIRS TO THE AIRBAGS.

HONDA HAS FAILED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND PROVIDE ME WITH ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION.

TAKATA RECALL ITHACA CARSHARE IS A SMALL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION SERVING 1,400 COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH 25 VEHICLES AVAILABLE FOR SELF-SERVE RESERVATIONS ON A 24/7 BASIS. SIX OF THESE VEHICLES ARE HONDA FITS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA RECALL. FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR MEMBERS AND LIABILITY PURPOSES, WE REMOVED THESE VEHICLES FROM SERVICE ON APRIL 4, 2016. WE HAVE SPOKEN WITH BOTH OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND HONDA CORPORATE MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THUS FAR BOTH HAVE REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY COMPENSATION FOR THE LOSS OF REVENUE CAUSED BY THESE VEHICLES BEING UNSAFE TO DRIVE. EACH VEHICLE REQUIRES INSTALLATION OF SPECIALTY HARDWARE FOR OUR USE, SO SUBSTITUTE VEHICLES PROVIDED BY HONDA (WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN OFFERED) ARE NOT AN OPTION FOR US. AS EACH DAY GOES BY, WE LOSE $250-300 IN REVENUE, SO AS OF THIS WRITING WE HAVE LOST OVER $3,000. AS A SMALL NON-PROFIT, THIS RECALL HAS A HUGE EFFECT ON OUR BUDGET. WE EXPECT THAT OUR LOSSES WILL TOTAL AT LEAST $10,000, IF NOT MORE. FAILURE OF HONDA TO PROVIDE COMPENSATION FOR THIS LOSS IS BOTH INCONVENIENT AND UNACCEPTABLE. WE CONTINUE TO SEEK COMPENSATION FOR THIS LOSS AND REQUEST ANY ASSISTANCE YOU MAY OFFER ON OUR BEHALF.

TAKATA RECALL. ACCORDING TO A MESSAGE RETRIEVED FROM HONDA ONLINE DATED 5/22/15, OUR CAR ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE. ACCORDING TO THAT SAME MESSAGE AND A RECALL LETTER MAILED TO US FROM HONDA IN MARCH, 2016, THE DEALER WILL PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE AIRBAGS ARE FIXED. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE NO RENTAL CARS AVAILABLE AND THEY COULDN'T TELL ME WHEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE ONE. I CALLED HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICER AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T HELP SECURE A RENTAL CAR BUT A CASE WORKER WOULD CONTACT ME IN ABOUT A WEEK. THEY'VE HAD NEARLY A YEAR FROM THEIR ONLINE ADMISSION IN MAY 2015 TO MARCH 2016 TO TAKE CARE OF THIS HUGELY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE WORKING WITH THEIR DEALERS TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT LOANER VEHICLES. WE HAVE ONE CAR AND WE'RE NOW AFRAID TO USE IT.

2012 HONDA FIT SDR HB SPORT WANTS TO KNOW DOES VEHICLE HAVE TAKATA AIR BAGS *CN

NO INCIDENT OR ACCIDENT. JUST A REQUEST CONCERNING THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALLS. THE TAKATA AIRBAGS ARE BEING REPLACED WITH ANOTHER POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG. TAKATA IS UNCERTAIN AS TO THE CAUSE OF THE AIRBAG EXPLOSIONS. THEY ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO UNDERSTAND THE EXACT CAUSE AND THERE IS NO CERTAINTY THAT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN FIXED. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE NHTSA TO ALLOW ALL VEHICLES WITH THE TAKATA AIRBAGS TO DEACTIVATE THE AIRBAGS UNTIL THE EXACT CAUSE IS KNOWN AND RECTIFIED. THIS COULD TAKE YEARS. BUT I WOULD MUCH RATHER DRIVE WITH A DEACTIVATED AIRBAG THAN A POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE DEVICE THAT COULD KILL ME. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE ARE NO OTHER AIRBAGS THAT ARE DESIGNED TO FIT HONDA CARS. IT IS EITHER ANOTHER POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAG, OR DEACTIVATION. PLEASE GIVE US THAT OPTION UNTIL THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMPLETELY INVESTIGATED AND WE CAN BE ASSURED THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG IS NOT DEFECTIVE,TOO. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NOT YET BEEN RECALLED. I AM NOT AT ALL REASSURED BY A RECALL THAT REPLACES MY AIRBAGS WITH MORE TAKATA AIRBAGS. TAKATA ADMITS IT DOES NOT KNOW THE CAUSE YET. I JUST WANT THAT AIRBAG OUT OF MY CAR! PLEASE RESPOND. *TR
