Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2009 Honda FIT

Takata recall--hendrick Honda of charleston, SC has had my airbags on order for over 2 months and cannot give me any idea as to when they will be repairing my car. Additionally, they have told me that, while they can give me a loaner/rental until my driver side airbag is repaired, they will not allow me to use the loaner/rental until my passenger side airbag gets replaced. So basically, they care if I die, but not my husband, child, or friend who happens to be riding in the passenger seat! this is totally unacceptable. If they are not able to repair these cars, they should have to buy them back from us like Volkswagen is doing for their customers.

The contact owned a 2009 Honda Fit. While driving approximately 15 mph, a second vehicle crashed into the front driver's side door of the contact's vehicle. The vehicle was destroyed, but neither the side curtain nor front driver's side air bags deployed. The driver sustained a fractured neck, and injuries to the head, face, right shoulder, hip, and knee. Medical attention was received. The cause of the failures was not determined. A police report was filed. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Takata recall. My car is one of the cars for the takata airbag on the driver and passenger side. I was told that Honda only covers the rental cars for the driver side airbags and will not be covering if the driver side was fixed and the passenger has not been fixed. So I can still drive my car but Honda recommends not to have someone in the front passenger seat. This prevents me from driving/carpooling more than 3 passengers as well as the metal shards from the passenger airbag can still potentially hit the driver if the airbag deployed. Is Honda and other companies allowed to only cover the rental car for the driver side and not the passenger passing on the liability to the car owner if the passenger was to get hurt due to the recall?.

Driver's side airbag recall: I received a driver's side airbag recall in March 2016. I've contacted my local Honda dealer, scott robinson in torrance, CA at least 8 times beginning in March 2016 and most recently in August 2016. The first few months scott robinson said parts weren't available and they couldn't provide alternative transportation. Finally in August they said they could order the parts and it would take 4-6 weeks for the part to come in, but they reiterated that they can't provide alternative transportation. On August 22, 2016 I called american Honda and requested alternative transportation. Throughout the week of August 22 - 25 (mon - thurs) I called american Honda a total of 4 times as they asked me to call my local dealers (which I two different ones) to try to get alternative transportation and to call them back to escalate my case because of my upcoming trips with my pregnant wife in my car. American Honda said they would open a case and get back to me to provide alternative transportation by 8/29/2016. American Honda also told me a manager would call me back on 8/25/16 or 8/26/16 at the latest but I never received any calls as of 9/5/2016 (and no missed calls). American Honda continues to give me the run-around for a case I initiated in March 2016. They have had awareness that I am driving with a life-threatening defect and are not taking any action, which is criminal.

While driving my interior began to leak from the seam where the headliner meets the hard plastic on the side curtain airbag. This occurs whenever it rains for lo her than an hour. Water runs into the side airbag compartment, drips onto the seat and door window controls. Attempt by dealer to replicate was unsuccessful however this leak occurs each time it rains.

The contact owns a 2009 Honda Fit. While the contact was driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle rear-ended the vehicle in front of him. There were no personal injuries. A police report was not filed for the incident. There was a deployment of the front passenger side airbag. However, the other air bag systems in the vehicle failed to deploy with the level of impact. The vehicle has not been repaired at this time. There were no prior warnings. The current and failure mileages were 9,000.
