Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator Problems of Honda Civic - part 2

Takata recall: I took my car to poway Honda (poway, CA 92064). They charged me a diagnostic fee to fix this recall. I don't think it was fair that I have to pay a diagnostic fee, this should have been covered by the recall. My wife had taken the car to drop it off at the dealer. The dealer called me telling me that the srs light was on when my wife dropped it off (I later found out from my wife that they were lying about this - the srs light was not on when she dropped it off). They told me that since fixing the recall didn't cause the light to go off there was something else wrong and they needed to run additional diagnostics for which they charged me $120. 88. After running the diagnostics they said that it was something wrong with the passenger side airbag inflator. . . I told them that was what the recall was for, then he quickly changed his story a couple of times from it being the drivers side airbag and then the passenger again. It sounded a little suspicious, and my suspicions were confirmed after talking to my wife, who stated that the srs nor any other warning light was on.

There has not been an accident or crash, but I received a letter from my insurance company asking me to look to see if this car was affected by the recall. Should I be replacing the airbags in this car?.

Takata inflators -- airbag recall letter received July 2016 which said parts would be available in late summer/fall. Letter said "Honda will send you another letter when parts become available to repair your vehicle". It's mid December now and have not received a "parts available" letter from Honda. Very inconvenient to "avoid having passenger in front passenger seat". Just called local dealership and they say they have had parts for quite some time. They don't know why Honda never sent the second letter. In the meantime, we have been at risk and inconvenienced. This is a big mistake on their part and there should be follow up.

The promise was it will be ready by 3 hours -- but around 4. 15 pm my car was ready to be picked up as I drove of the parking lot into the feeder road of the highway I 45 south I noticed the red airbag light and engine light come on --- I called the dealer on my cellphone right then as I was driving home tried 3 different numbers left messages called again this morning (11/22/2016) no response I opened up another case number with Honda parent company case # 03744997. There is no visible sign on the airbag area to show if they did any work to exchange the inflator; the recall was for both passanger and driver side air bag.

Takata recall on August 19, 2016, we took our Honda to the dealer to have the airbag inflator replaced under the recall. Our dealer ran into a problem with a mounting bolt (apparently a bolt was cross-threaded and twisted off). A call to Honda America confirmed the entire air bag would then have to be replaced. Our dealer ordered the part that day. And has of this writing not yet received the air bag from Honda America. Our dealer gave us a loaner car for two months, but then took it back and gave us our car back, without a front passenger-side airbag, on October 31, with instructions to not put a passenger in the front seat. (in order to get my car back, I had to sign a statement on the work order saying I had refused a repair, but I was not offered a repair to refuse. I had to sign the work order or not get my car back. ) just prior to the dealer calling and taking the loaner back, I wrote a letter to Honda America about the delay in delivering the replacement airbag. I have received no reply. So it has been four and one-half months my car has been waiting on a replacement air bag. As far as I can tell, this is a problem with Honda America; I believe my dealer has acted in good faith. Attachments: - original recall notice - work order from my dealer - my letter to Honda America.

Takata inflators: the following is concerning my 2008 Honda Civic and Honda's failure in their recall campaign: 23 may 2016: Honda issues recall concerning vehicles in my model year and suggest I check my VIN against their database of recalled vehicles to see if my specific vehicle is affected. 27 may 2016: I contact Honda with VIN to see if my vehicle is affected. I am told that it is not. 27 July 2016: receive letter in mail saying a recall was issued on my vehicle on 23 may. 28 July 2016: I contact Honda again and they confirm that there is a recall on my vehicle. I was told that their system had not updated the new information when I called 4 days after the recall was issued. In the days immediately following a recall issue is most likely when consumers are to check to see if their product is affected. If databases are not updated to reflect current information, many consumers, like myself, may have been driving around for the past two months with dangerous air bags even though they did their do diligence to research their vehicles. Honda's suggestion to check your VIN against their recall database was an insufficient solution to the airbag issue. Honda's failure to update recall databases (until sometime after 27 may 2016) following the issue of their recall on 23 may 2016 was dangerously negligent.

Takata recall - my complaint is with the amount of time it is taking for parts to become available to repair a Honda Civic I purchased for my daughter and her family. I received a letter in July 2016 indicating that the 'remedy parts needed to conduct passenger frontal airbag inflator recalls will become available in late summer/fall of 2016'. I also was advised I would receive another letter when the parts were available. Until such time as the vehicle is repaired I was advised: "Honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed. " as of today, December 30, 2016, I have not received the 2nd letter. It is extremely stressful for a mother to have her child sit in the front passenger seat when she knows this poses a danger. However, when the car is used for a single mom with three children, there are no other options. I feel Honda should compensate families by providing a safe rental car until parts are available to repair the car affected by the recall. Thank you for reading my concern.

Takata recall - passenger airbag inflator.

I purchased a 2008 Honda Civic in April of 2016, after I was in an accident where both of my front air bags deployed. Shortly after purchasing the 2008 Honda Civic I discovered there was a front passenger airbag recall. I immediately called my local Honda dealership. They took down my information and said that they would call me when the airbag can be fixed. The recall letter states �in the event of a passenger frontal airbag inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, potentially resulting in injury to vehicle occupants. The risk of such occurrence increases over time. � it has now been a year since I reported the recall and have yet to be contacted to have it fixed. Due to my recent accident where both airbags deployed, I fear that I am in danger and this is the car that I have to drive daily. I have tried contacting Honda about my concerns and they have not responded. I just want them to buy my unsafe car back from me so that I can buy a safe vehicle to drive.

I took my car in for service to my local dealership on 3/23/15, which I booked online. I was able to book my recall service for the airbag inflator online as well, which no issues. I was asked when I brought in the car if I had called to order parts, I had not as there was no indication when I booked that I needed to do so. I was simply told parts would be ordered for me and they would let me know when they were in. After two weeks I called the dealership to inquire on my ordered parts, I was told parts can take "2 to 3 days or one to two months" to get in due to a backlog. I contacted Honda via social media and was told that someone would be in touch with me. Two weeks later I still have yet to receive parts, hear from my local dealership or hear from anyone in Honda's customer service department. My initial recall notice indicates this is a potentially life-threatening, dangerous issue that needs to be addressed, and yet despite my best efforts I am still stuck with faulty parts and no timeline for repairs. A two month wait for parts in a dangerous recall is irresponsible and potentially leaves me liable in the event of an accident involving these parts as I have been notified of their danger but otherwise unable to replace them.
