Air Bag Problems of Acura RL - part 2

Nhtsa recall 16v-061 hello,I am concerned with the above mentioned recall. I was notified in March of 2016 about a recall that would take place in the summer of 2016. Today is August 14,2016 and I still have not received any documentation in regards to this matter. Almost 6 months have passed and no available parts for this issue. I am not sure if I should drive the vehicle due to the fact that there have been serious injuries documented with this safety issue. I am asking for your advice as to whether I should drive it or not. I am thinking of selling this vehicle but,with this current issue I feel I may not be able to find a buyer. Please help. Thank you.

Takata recall: I was just notified on Wednesday August 3, 2016 by telephone by Acura executive customer relations that my passenger airbag replacement has been ordered. This woman notified me additionally that I should not have anyone sit in the front passenger seat. I purchased this car as a family car, a family sedan. I must have availability of my front passenger seat; it cannot go empty. I stated this to Acura and requested they take specific action because they need to get me a rental vehicle if no one can sit on my front passenger seat without risking their life because of profit driven motives by takata and Acura. This is my second 2010 Acura Rl; the first one was totaled in an front-to-rear-end collision where my airbag deployed. Fortunately, this deployment did not result in the release of metal shards. Furthermore, I drove my current Rl at risk of losing my life because of metal shards in the airbag for the duration until replacement under recall. I have already taken enough risk of losing my life and/or health and this cannot continue. I demand Acura take immediate (I mean immediate) steps to get me a comparable rental car. If they don't respond with an immediate solution, I will rent a car myself and will submit the bill to Acura for charges incurred. Since that telephone call, I went through my unopened mail and discovered the recall notice; the letter is dated "July 2016". It is interesting this company is not capable of installing an actual date on the letterhead and is allowed to simply state an entire month. In that letter, complaint procedures are explained to include that I may file a complaint after 60 days. I spoke with my oakland Acura dealer who has my recall part on order and he said it would be 3-4 weeks at least and likely more until a replacement airbag is available for installation. An immediate solution is required.

2005 Acura Rl. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair airbag recall notice.

Takata recall. On memorial day weekend I returned my car to hooman Acura in van nuys, CA. On van nuys blvd. On the phone, I was told the policy was to hold the returned cars at the dealer, I would be given a rental voucher, and that I would be called when the repair was made. At the dealer, I was told that hooman was not taking the recalled vehicles, could not provide a date by which the fix would be made, but would provide me a rental car which I had to get that day by noon. I would have to take the recalled Acura back to my house. The complaint is regarding the false vehicle/retention/storage agreement which I am attaching to this complaint. In sum, the agmt says that it is the policy of Honda to retain the subject vehicle until parts are in to effect the repair. But the people at the dealer tell you that hooman dealership does not (and no dealer) retains the recalled vehicle. Yet the agmt that the dealer wants the customer to sign says that customer "wishes to retain the vehicle" which is clearly not my wish. Bottom line, they won't take the recalled car that you drive in. The customer has 1) bring two people--one to drive the rental and one to drive the rejected and unsafe car back, 2) have a space to park an additional car--which I don't, and 3) the dealer can't provide any date by which you can get the car fixed--so you can't even pay to store the recalled car yourself . The certification falsely says that the customer understands that retaining the recalled vehicle "deviates from Honda requirements". But that is false. The dealer tells the customer it won't take the recalled car pending repair regardless of what the customer wants and that the customer must store and arrange to get the car home .

Takata recall: my car is under the takata recall. When I contacted my local dealer, they informed me I had to bring the car in first and then they would issue an ron so a rental car could be obtained. They said I could then take my Rl home and park it in the garage until the parts were obtained. Since I bought the car at the dealer, they have serviced it, and I received an official safety recall notice from Acura, why am I required to make a 40 mile round trip in a vehicle that Acura admits driving the car can cause serious injury or death. It seems the dealership can simply supply the ron over the phone. Or am I missing something here?.
