Takata recall: I received a letter from Honda on 3/26/2016 informing me that my airbag was defective and was recalled. The letter stated they would send me another letter soon informing me when I could get it fixed. I never heard back from them, so I called them on 7/18/2016. They said that I could get it fixed by late September at the latest and that I would receive a second letter informing me when I could get it fixed. Now it is 11/2/2016 and I still have not heard anything from Honda. If my car truly has a dangerous airbag that needs to be replaced, I think that more than 7 months is longer than I should have to wait to get it fixed. I want them to fix my airbag as soon as possible.

I received two notices of the airbag recall for my Honda Fit (2011) and the part was supposed to be available by late summer/fall. I made an appointment online for 8/27/16 only to find out when I got there that my local Honda dealership (Honda of oakland) still did not have the part even though I was able to make an appointment online specifically for the recall. It's been over 90 days and I still have yet to receive notice from my local dealership regarding this recall. Please remedy this situation as soon as possible. I have never had to wait so long (over 4 months) for the part to come for a recall, especially when it involves life/death.

Takata recall Honda recall notice advises "parts needed . . . Will become available in late summer/fall 2016. . . " and "avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed. " to not be able to safely seat someone in the passenger front seat is a hardship that requires an immediate remedy. I called Honda pacific this morning and was informed that they will not be providing alternate vehicles because - unlike the driver airbag recall - the cars are still drivable. So I basically have to secure another vehicle at my own expense until Honda can fix the problem. This situation is not acceptable to me but I was told that all I can do is make a complaint. So here it is. Thank you for your time.

Takata recall. Second recall for airbag issue, now passenger side. No notification or any information from Honda about the repair of this issue. This has limited the use of this vehicle as no passengers can ride in the front.
Takata recall; they notified me last may, that my auto might be covered by the recall. Thus far, they have done nothing. I feel like they should at least disconnect the air bag for my families safety, rather than us driving a time bomb. If they cannot repair this defect, they should make some form of correction; either purchase the auto , supply something safe to drive. I hate to think the government department that is responsible for our transportation safety, would just continue to let american citizens be injured, disabled, or killed; when we purchased and paid for in goof faith to be a reliable safe product. I fear for my family to use the auto, but I cannot afford to just park it, and purchase another, till someone does something. Might I also mention, that everyone is aware of the issue, and the value of the auto is minimal now.

Takata recall dealer ordered replacement airbags in early may. Still not available.
I brought my car in to be repaired and they notified me that it would be an extended time that my car would be out. I explained that I drive uber and that was my main form of income, when I couldn't drive a regular enterprise, I spoke to Honda and did the second option of paying for it upfront and being reimbursed 6-8 weeks after I filed my receipts. This was going on in April-may and it is now September. I am out $1200 and do not know how to get them to reimburse me my money. They have been dragging their feet always requesting more information and wanting more and needing me to explain. This is absolutely ridiculous and I want to take legal action. So tired of being stepped on by the big guy.

Takata recall ithaca carshare is a small non-profit organization serving 1,400 community members with 25 vehicles available for self-serve reservations on a 24/7 basis. Six of these vehicles are Honda Fits affected by the takata recall. For the safety of our members and liability purposes, we removed these vehicles from service on April 4, 2016. We have spoken with both our local Honda dealer and Honda corporate multiple times, and thus far both have refused to provide any compensation for the loss of revenue caused by these vehicles being unsafe to drive. Each vehicle requires installation of specialty hardware for our use, so substitute vehicles provided by Honda (which have not been offered) are not an option for us. As each day goes by, we lose $250-300 in revenue, so as of this writing we have lost over $3,000. As a small non-profit, this recall has a huge effect on our budget. We expect that our losses will total at least $10,000, if not more. Failure of Honda to provide compensation for this loss is both inconvenient and unacceptable. We continue to seek compensation for this loss and request any assistance you may offer on our behalf.

Nhtsa recall 16v-061 Honda campaign number jy1 I've been trying to deal with a local dealer but they will not respond to my messages.
Takata recall. Honda tried to increases my exposure by sending me to car rental business which willingly places a $100 hold on my visa and then increases my exposure to cost via "loss of service". I did not accept. I called the dealer "scott robinson Honda", torrance, CA and Honda corporate 800-999-1009 both ext. 4 and 7 to no avail. I requested management at Honda corporate call me as I needed to speak with a person who had authority on 04/06/2016. Honda corporate has not returned my call as of today 04/09/2016. Our 2011 Honda Fit sits in the driveway since 03/31/2016 with mileage stopped at 23,730, waiting for parts to address takata recall. My request is Honda supply a Honda car at zero cost and exposure to this customer!.
