I had my airbags serviced in 2016 at a Honda dealership to fix the takata airbag recall issue. In 2023, I was hit on the front left portion of the car at an estimated 50mph, and no airbags deployed. I contacted Honda about this issue, and they said my insurance company had to do an inspection relating to the airbag failure reasons, but my insurance company said Honda would have had to send an agent to inspect. My car was totaled and sold by the insurance company. I have the official pictures from the insurance company’s inspection to value the car.

"takata recall" notified in March that airbag parts would be available in summer for repair to take place. Contacted two dealers and was put on list for repair in may. Nothing has been done to this point with no further contact from Honda. 10-21-16.
Been trying to schedule replacement of the defective airbag, dealer doesn't know when the replacement bag will arrive and Honda motors says they are available for the dealer. Each is pointing a finger at the other one for the reason the part has not been delivered for the dealer to make the replacement. Just want to get it replaced so I can safely drive my car. Need help in getting the airbag replaced as soon as possible. Am I expected to drive an unsafe vehicle until Honda and the dealer finally fulfill their responsibility?.
Takata recall recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available so what are we supposed to do while Honda is trying to figure out their next step?.

Takata recall: I received a letter in March 2016 that this defect could potentially kill or hurt me and my passengers. I've called the dealership on at least 3 different occasions and told the part would be in soon. I called again today, more than 6 months after getting the letter, and sat on hold from more than 15 minutes waiting for an answer about my part, stating again my safety concerns. I finally gave up and called Honda national and was told that this was such a massive recall, getting the parts is slow. So in the meantime, I drive a car that puts me and my family at risk. Today, for the first time, I was told I could get an alternative car to drive in the interim. Better, but still not comforting to know my car is not only defective, but getting a resolution is proving to be problematic and potentially dangerous to my family. My concerns are: 1. Why does it take this long? that seems completely unacceptable when potential death is involved. 2. Why didn't my dealership offer a car earlier for my safety? 3. Why am I on hold for 15 minutes with a dealership inquiring about my part with no answer? it shouldn't be this difficult. 4. My car was barely two years old when this happened, why couldn't I have just been given a new car to replace this defective one since it's such a safety concern? this situation really makes my car a lemon!.
In March 2016 Honda promised that the parts would be available in summer 2016 and Honda would notify me. It is now almost October 2016 and the parts are still not available.

Takata recall- in March 2016 I received a recall notice. I called Honda at their too-free number and was directed to my local dealer Honda of champaign, in savoy IL. As of today I have as yet to have the driver's airbag replaced, yet I have contacted the dealer and Honda at least three times over the intervening months (since March of this year when Honda said "I would be informed by mail when the parts were available"). Interestingly the last time I was at the dealership for regular maintenance they had two 2013 Fit models for sale on the used car lot. I asked the salesman "if the cars' airbags had been repaired", and he said "yes". I think the dealership nor Honda are following the recall program. Thank you richard gaul.
2013 Honda Fit. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair recall notice.
Requested airbag fix at dealership were bought, was told that they would call me because the airbag number must be matched to the Honda 2013 Fit. Never called. Asked again and was ignored.
Takata recall purchased new to haul working dogs and outfitted with protective covers etc in order to do so. Received the safety recall for driver's airbag on March 9th and made first dealer contact in March 2016. . Due to the vehicle use, Honda dealer never provided a rental car. In mid-August I made additional contact with corporate and dealer to no avail. I then traded off the vehicle at a loss due to the feet dragging by Honda. They provided an unsafe car and failed to offer me a remedy. The dealer did offer to sell me another car at normal pricing and offered a low trade in value since they stated they could not resell my unsafe car until a repair is made. Entire dealing was very unacceptable. Faulty product with failed remedy. Never another Honda. Never lost so much money but they have no fix currently for the drivers air bag. I was honest with the dealer stating I almost was in a wreck and enough is enough. . This product is defective and Honda failed to remedy it. I feel legal action against Honda is appropriate. Vehicle had 13,000 miles on it when traded for different vehicle at significant loss. My choice, but my safety also matters at least to me.

Takata recall notice received from Honda in March, 2016. I ordered the airbag recall repair from gary smith Honda in fort walton beach, FL on June 14, 2016. It has been almost 90 days and they still do not know when the order might be received. My notice says I can file a complaint with NHTSA. I am hoping this will work.

Takata-dealer notified me of recall-had me sign a waiver that I drive under my own peril. Three months have passed, dealer does not have the part and does not know when it will arrive. Dealer tried to have me trade it for 9k, I have a private buyer ready to pay 12,500 but cannot sell it due to the recall. No accidents have occurred as a result.

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.
Takata recall: I called lithia Honda in medford , oregon three months ago and informed the service manager that I received a recall letter 9in March 2016. He said they would order the parts and inform me when the part arrived, then I could make and appointment for repair. I called yesterday for an appointment and was informed the parts were not there and they would have to order them again. I was told they did not know how long it would take for the parts to arrive because Honda controlled the parts and the dealer had no control in getting the parts. I was told to call Honda customer service. Honda is refusing to repair the car by delaying the repair. The recall letter said that driving the car is dangerous and life threatening. I need my car to get to medical appointments.
