Acura is asking me to continue to drive a hazardous and perhaps fatally flawed vehicle with regards to the airbag recall thus jeopardizing my life and the life of others. I was informed by my local dealer in the orlando, FL area that I needed to bring in the vehicle in and sign a waiver that I would not drive the vehicle until repaired but that I needed to bring someone else with me that would drive the vehicle back to my home. Therefore, Acura agrees that the vehicle is dangerous enough for me not to drive but that I should have 'someone else' drive it back which would be an hour drive. Not sure if that 'someone else' should be a teenager or my wife who's life I would be jeopardizing in their eyes. Because the dealer was not agreeing to store the vehicle while it waited on parts and be responsible for the vehicle, I had to contact corporate again. This time the Acura client relations representative read me what sounded like a script that advised me that I could continue to drive the car because the recall letter may have sounded harsh but the only real problems were with Honda civics of much older years. I found this interesting that they would influence me to continue to drive what the NHTSA has determined is a dangerous vehicle prompting a recall and thus increase their liability for any injuries or deaths that may occur. Therefore my complaint is that Acura is encouraging owners to continue to put their lives, the lives of their families and innocent bystanders at risk that could result in serious injuries including death. I find this completely unacceptable. I currently am still waiting for a case manager to return my call to resolve my case. When I call again I was told that I have to wait which might take days. Again unacceptable while I continue to be at risk.

Takata recall - I am appalled that I just received a notice from Acura on March 28, 2016 regarding a problem that seems to have been announced in 2014. I have left messages at my dealership in boston, bernardi Acura and I am waiting to hear back from them, however I am not happy with the level of attention to this. Why hasn't my dealership contacted me before this? also, Acura mentions that they will not have the parts to fix this until late spring or early summer, that is completely unacceptable. They are basically telling me to put my life in danger until they can fix it in a few months. This is appalling.

Takata recall- we received a phone call from the fayetteville Acura dealership in March 2016 informing us of the recall. We were told the airbags in our 2009 Acura Tl should be replaced in the early portion of the summer 2016. In July 2016 we had not received any updated info on the recall/replacement of our airbags. I contacted fayetteville Acura and they informed us the parts were taking longer to come into the dealership for replacement. In October 2016 we still had not been contacted to have our airbag replaced. As of January 20, 2017, we still have not received any word from the dealership on when our airbag would be replaced.
