39 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/04/2015

We have been waiting for airbag replacements for the Honda recall since early February. Our dealer, has received one of the two airbags but has no idea when the other will be in. Was told today that possible release date for part was late June or July. Honda has provided a rental car but will not cover the insurance. I have to exchange the car every 30 days so that my private insurance will cover the rental car. Otherwise it would be ~$40 a week. That is over $500 for their problem. I feel that 5 months is an excessive amount of time to have to wait for repair of these critical safety components!.

40 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2015

On 2/3/2015 I rec'd letters from Honda motor CO stating that both front air bags possibly had life-threatening probs. I called local dealer, jeff wyler Honda, and new parts were ordered that day. Today, 4/17/15, the dealer still has not rec'd them. My complaint is that Honda CO tells customer that their life is in danger if car is driven but doesn't fix prob! it's been 2 1/2 months! the dealer's hands are tied as Honda CO tells them parts are back ordered- with no estimated delivery date. Maybe you can light a fire under Honda CO!.

49 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2015

Since I received the recall notice in January, I've been calling almost all Honda dealers in our area in san diego CA and they've been telling me that they don't have the parts necessary for the recall. I received a tentative service date on April 11, 2015 with the Honda dealer in mission valley but when I called today, they apparently have not received the ordered parts yet, so my schedule was cancelled. Same thing with the Honda dealer in el cajon. They said that they have no parts as of yet. We highly depend on this vehicle for travel and with the recall issue still unresolved for more than 3 months now, god forbid that we don't get into any accident. In case we do, again god forbid, I demand full responsibility from whoever is not acting fast enough in resolving this dangerous situation with our vehicle!.

61 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 05/29/2014

Takata recall I was in an accident in may of 2014. I was hit on the driver's side door/front fender on a city street going approximately 30 miles/hour in a straight direction. The airbags were deployed. I sustained a deep gash on my right forearm and what appeared to be chemical burns on the skin surrounding the gash, both palms and both thumbs that took several weeks to heal. The "burns" worsened over a period of several hours following the crash. I assumed they were chemical burns after doing a quick internet search. I did not go to a doctor but instead treated the area with an antibiotic cream and later, aloe vera. I healed within a few weeks, but I still have a scar on my right forearm from the gash (recent, 2/16/17 photo attached). The injury was caused by the airbag deployment. At the time of the crash both my hands were on the steering wheel at a "10 and 2" position.
