Takata recall - the story: during the last several years, we have checked online at all of the various web sites to see if this vehicle was under a recall for the airbags. Each time, we found that this car was not listed. In March of this year, we received a safety recall letter from Honda, regarding the front takata airbags. We took the car to the dealer, and they held it for several weeks, plus they provided us with a rental car, as the vehicle was "unsafe" to drive. When I picked up the car, I noticed on the work order that only the driver's side airbag was replaced. (I had assumed both front airbags would be replaced. ) when I questioned the service rep, he simply said that the passenger airbag was not a part of the recall. In July, we received the 2nd recall letter from Honda, this time for the passenger air bag. When I called our service rep, he informed me that alternate transportation would not be provided! I called Honda customer service and spoke to several people. They all told me different things. The first one told me that the airbag would not deploy in an accident, due to a "sensor" in the passenger seat. When I checked out our car, it turns out that this is not true! the airbag will deploy, even if the seat is not occupied! our car does not have this "sensor" feature! after waiting several days for the promised "return call" from case management, I called Honda at 888-999-1009. Talked with a rep who told me that she could find no record of my ever having called,or any case set up and sent to case management! all of the previous reps had simply lied to me! now, I am simply waiting for a phone call, with a car that I cannot drive. It is unsafe. I need for Honda to talk to me, and make a decision. I can take them to court to recover the cost of a rental car , if necessary. Honda case no. 04897936.

Air bag did not deploy during front end collision (car rear-ended another). Had been travelling ~40 mph; braked over a distance of approximately 3 to 4 car lengths while travelling down hill. Driver sustained concussion.

I had once own this vehicle in which I was making payments. I had slid on ice and snow one year and went into a ditch and hit a mail box which was attached to a post. There was damage underneath as well as a little damage on the passenger side. The air bag never did deploy and I recently had a notice in the mail that the vehicle may be listed having a defective airbag.
