I received an important safety recall notice in March of 2016 saying that the airbags were potentially defective. It says that "the remedy parts needed to conduct driver's airbag inflator recalls will become available in the summer of 2016. " at that time I will receive another letter telling me to contact the dealer. The summer is quickly waning to a close so yesterday I went to the dealer in person (jl freed in montgomeryville, PA) and was told that they are still months behind, that some people have had to leave their cars there for 3 months. I do not see this as an acceptable situation and think Honda should take this car back now without penalty. They clearly cannot rectify the problem in a timely manner. My wife does not feel safe driving this car. We have been patient, but Honda is not living up to its promise. I do not think we should have to wait until an incident happens to get a safe car, nor do I want to be sending photos as a widower. Thanks in advance for your attention to this matter.
Takata recall: it has been more than 60 days since I requested my new airbag inflator. I have not been given a date to expect replacement of my faulty airbag inflator. I asked to be let out of my lease due to this issue. I was given an appraisal on my car that would let me out after 2 more paymetns. I made those two payments. Then I was given a new appraisal saying I would have to give the dealer [Honda of seattle] $2700 to get out of my lease. I am frustrated with the double speak of the dealership. I am frustrated with the lack of information about when to expect a replacement airbag inflator. I am frustrated at the breach of trust at work here. This was a known problem, but was kept from me for 2 years of my lease, and now I am expected to pay more because of the manufacturer's error.
I contacted Honda dealer on 6 April 2016, regarding issues with front airbag inflator. Now after more than three months (90 days) I still have not got my car fixed, and it has caused many inconveniences to my family. Yes, they have provided a rental car but we want our own vehicle back as soon as possible.
Takata recall I received notification from Honda in March, 2016 stating that replacement parts 'will become available in the summer of 2016' and that I would receive an additional letter from Honda. I've never received another letter. Since I live near the coast I am concerned about the higher humidity causing problems with the inflator. It has been 6 months without resolution. This is unacceptable.
