general problems of the 2009 Honda FIT - part 1

Honda has sent me numerous mailers advertising a gift card and loaner vehicle as incentives for participating in their takata recall. Honda also cites the promise of a loaner vehicle in every press release trumpeting their so-called commitment to this recall. My local Honda dealership refuses to provide a loaner vehicle. I reported this problem to Honda expecting them to intervene, but I received nothing except useless automated email responses.

There are no available recalls reported on NHTSA for the 2009 Honda Fit. However, there are several takata recalls.

"takata recall" we got into a car accident all the airbags deployed and exploded my god daughter was hurt but not by the accident but by the airbags that burned my goddaughters face (nose, eye and lip) burned her shoulder.

Takata recall. I continue to get notices for car I no longer own. Car was traded to economy Honda during purchase of vehicle. I have call economy Honda to ask why they did not update records.

I was in a car accident in June of this year involving multiple cars on a highway at 65 mph where I was hit several times, and none of the airbags deployed. My car was totaled.

I have been trying to get Honda of kirkland, washington to repair my airbags since September of 2016. They keep putting it off and now they say they can't do it until the end of may. That is over an 8 month wait, Honda is the one that told me I needed the service.

Takata recall I received a letter notifying me of the recall in March 2016. It said that the parts were not yet available and I would receive a follow up letter when they became available in summer 2016. I never received a follow up letter as of February 2017.

Takata recall I was notified on March 2016 about the takata recall. I called my local Honda dealership in September 2016 to have this issue resolved. At that time, they informed me that they didn't have the parts to resolve the defect. I have yet to be contacted about a fix for the defect.

Takata recall: I contacted berkeley Honda to get this recall fixed. A sales person contacted me to try to sell me a new car but the service department never returned the call. I called them back and they supposedly ordered the part but never advised me if the part was available. Further calls not returned. Contacted oakland Honda who said they had the parts but refused to make an appointment - said it's first come, first served. I'm an elderly woman and not well. I cannot be expected to show up and either wait and wait or find out that there is no part available when I get there. I called san leandro Honda - left messages but they never return the call. Please have someone take care of this! it's not good service at all and not realistic to have me never have a passenger while I'm waiting for this to be resolved.

Takata recall. Got notification - rec'd 3/29/16. On my 2009 Honda Fit. Constant contact with Honda dealership and Honda corp. "parts not available yet". Today - I find I can get a "loaner" according to Honda corp. Call dealership - have to come sign paperwork and go to enterprise for loaner. Enterprise tells me that I need a $200. 00 deposit - refundable when I bring car back - and proof of income. Also have to find out from Honda what they will pay for weekly rental - I only asked for economy car. They give me $$ amount - now I have to find out from Honda dealership if they will pay $35. 00 per day. Honda corp says paying this amount is up to dealership. I've never had an accident / even a ticket and 66 yrs. Young. Why do I have to put up with all these phone calls - 1/2 the time the dealership won't even return my phone calls! paying my "loaner fee" seems a whole lot cheaper - than god forbid I had been in an accident.

I notified local Honda (hendricks Honda of charleston) of the fact that I had a planned trip to mi from SC this Friday and would need the air bag replaced by Thursday that me of day. I was told that this schedule could likely not be met and that they could not provide a loaner. I called the Honda automobile customer service # and was told the same thing; to hey agreed to escalate my concern but could not give me an expected time of a reply. I do not have the option of another vehicle and feel that my choices are between an unsafe condition and a rental at personal expense; I believe this to be unfair.

Takata recall: notice was sent in March 2016, part was ordered in April 2016, part has still not arrived in July 2016.

Takata recall takata recall I received a recall notice in July, 2016 and contacted the Honda dealer to schedule a recall fix. I have not heard from them as of today.

Takata recall has not been remedied yet and, according to the website, the "remedy is not yet available. " I received my first notification of the recall early last year (2016), saying that I would be notified when the issue is ready to be addressed, and as of yet still have not heard anything.

"takata recall" I made an appointment on July 2, 2016 at my local Honda dealership, vandergriff Honda, arlington TX and was told they had the airbags in stock. I took my car in on my appointment July 5, 2016 and received a call that day that the airbags were not in stock. I was told they would have to order them and it would take 6 weeks. I called back August 17, 2016 and was told they were still not in, they were coming in sporadically. I called again today, September 6, 2016 and still no answer as to when I can get my airbags replaced. It is well over the 60 days reasonable period of time that I have had to wait. I am tired of feeling stressed every time I drive my car with these defective airbags.

Takata recall - I received two notices of the recall since March. When I spoke with a representative from american Honda motor CO in early July 2016, they said pacific Honda in honolulu (current residence) should have parts available. I called pacific Honda only to be put on a waiting list. It is now, August 25th, and still no word or call back to say if my 2009 Honda Fit will be ready for service. We are moving to los angeles on Monday, Aug 29th and I would like to have it serviced at the nearest dealership ASAP. I am outraged as to how poorly this dangerous recall situation has been handled. Pacific Honda is considered in the hah zones and all customers should have received better notification as to when the parts were ready for service. I expected Honda to call me before our move regardless of how many people are on the "waiting list. " I have a diabetic toddler who rides in the back seat. This cannot prolong any further than it already has.

We placed an order to fix the "passenger" airbag, after receiving a letter from Honda. This has been 2 months ago. We asked for a rental, as we were given one for our "driver" airbag. They refused, saying the passenger must sit in the back seat. I have arthritis, and bad back, and to get into the back seat is hard. We have contacted Honda and the Honda dealer's service dept. And no luck there. The part isn't in yet. They say they will look into it. Our case # 04972087. My thinking is they don't want to pay for a rental, as if no one is sitting in the passenger side, and there is an accident, it won't deploy. I don't think I should have to be inconvienced by their faulty airbags. If I sell this car, I wont' get as much out of it because of the unrepaired airbag. So, if you would, could you please help us? sincerely.

In it, it states that if Honda or the dealer (richard's Honda in baton rouge, louisiana) has failed to remedy the defect within 60 days. I actually called over a year ago and they kept telling me that they would send a letter when the part was ready. Well, its been over a year and I've received nothing stating that the part is ready.
