Takata recall both passenger and driver side airbags recalled. Long wait time. For driver side airbag, I was able to get alternate transportation while I waited for repair but not for passenger side. Honda will not pay for alternate transportation while I wait for the passenger side airbag to come in, this is unacceptable. I paid for a car that seats 5 and not using the passenger seat while I wait is not acceptable.
2010 Honda Fit. Attorney representing consumer writes in regards to no communication from dealership about driver side airbag recall notice that indicates loaner vehicle will be provided or reimbursement of rental cost to consumer.
The car was being pulled out of the driveway onto the street, at about 5 mph, when both the driver's and passenger's side airbags deployed. The car did not hit anything, and shows no visible damage. A police report was filed, in which the officer stated that there was no apparent reason for the airbags to have deployed.
Takata recall!!!!! first it was driver side airbag after separately paying $700 to get mpg back to spec. Airbag: entered dealer getting 33 mpg, left getting 28mpg. Same thing happened when a repair shop did my emissions test. A friend got mpg again back to spec 33 charged $125 (not $700). Now Honda wants to fix the passenger side airbag!!! wanted $1000 to replace a defective windshield with a new defective windshield. Google search the guy who got four of them!!! safelite charged ~$450. Several people said nothing is "free" about recalls, and I do not want Honda touching my car!!! I have communicated, that I want someone I can trust to do the airbag, to at least 5 Honda representatives and their response is always the same: silence! . . . And then more screaming red mail!!!! well I am screaming too!!!!! tell me of an independent non-Honda shop I can take it to, and I will be happy to get this deadly thing out of my car!!!!! now you want a date????? been harassed and ripped off for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sick of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should just sell that deadly pc of junk!!!!! there is more unrelated stuff I could waste your time and mine telling you.
As I was driving on the service road a vehicle in front of me stopped short, I steered my vehicle to the leftside of the road to avoid a collision. It was raining and the road was slick causing my car to go into a tail spin. I gained control of my car without making impact to anything and my driver side airbags deployed, although my airbags burst out they did not appear to inflate completely. Also my driver side seat belt completely came out of its track. I suffered a scratch/burn on the left side of my neck and a bruise below my right shoulder from the seatbelt. Ambulance and police were called to the scene. I have a police report, the police commented that they had never witnessed a similar situation of how and why my airbags and seatbelt were in that condition without skid marks or impact.
The contact owns a 2010 Honda Fit. The contact stated that the passenger side air bag indicated that the air bag was turned off without anyone or anything in the seat which should only occur when someone under 80 pounds was in the seat. The dealer inspected the vehicle and was unable to diagnose the failure. The dealer also replaced the seat, but the failure continued to occur. The failure mileage was 7000 and the current mileage was 8200.
