I have been trying to get Honda of kirkland, washington to repair my airbags since September of 2016. They keep putting it off and now they say they can't do it until the end of may. That is over an 8 month wait, Honda is the one that told me I needed the service.

Takata recall: I contacted berkeley Honda to get this recall fixed. A sales person contacted me to try to sell me a new car but the service department never returned the call. I called them back and they supposedly ordered the part but never advised me if the part was available. Further calls not returned. Contacted oakland Honda who said they had the parts but refused to make an appointment - said it's first come, first served. I'm an elderly woman and not well. I cannot be expected to show up and either wait and wait or find out that there is no part available when I get there. I called san leandro Honda - left messages but they never return the call. Please have someone take care of this! it's not good service at all and not realistic to have me never have a passenger while I'm waiting for this to be resolved.

Honda has replaced the driver airbag but not the passenger airbag. Both the dealer here in IL and Honda on the west coast initially indicated that the passenger airbag was not part of the recall - however, they stated they could not tell me what brand or make of passenger airbag was installed. It seemed very strange to me that a car manufacturer who utilizes just-in-time parts installation would have a takata airbag for the driver side and a non-takata (or different model takata airbag) on the passenger side - thus I requested Honda customer service mgr on the west coast contact Honda japan to determine the exact make/model of the passenger airbag. In early December 2016 Honda customer service stated the passenger airbag was indeed a takata airbag of the type requiring replacement. I was told an additional recall would be forthcoming and that I should secure replacement in 2017. I have checked your safer. Gov website with my VIN and the passenger airbag has not been added. Has Honda apprised you that additional airbags require replacement, and if so, when will you update your website to reflect same. The dealer will not replace the airbag gratis until such time as the unit is recalled. Await your advice/update. Thank you.

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.

Takata recall. First contact with dealer (Honda and Subaru of santa fe, nm) 7/30/16. Informed that parts were not available. Second contact 8/30/16 with same result. Now 70+ days since initial contact with dealer. No reply from dealer as of 10/10/16. Inconvenience of limitation of use and possible injury or death makes unresponsiveness of Honda and dealer grossly irresponsible.

Takata recall - I received the notice for the passenger airbag recall in July 2016 and called to follow up with the notice. I was told that the part would be in within a month, but have followed up multiple times regarding this because the part has been backlogged. It has been over 60 days since my initial phone call relaying my concern with the safety of this car. Honda has failed to remedy this situation within a reasonable timeframe. All they tell me each time I call is to wait until the part comes in. This is the only car that our family uses to commute to/from work, and seeing as how we have a full family, someone has to sit in the passenger seat. Being pregnant, I am concerned for my and my baby's safety. I do not appreciate expressing my concerns for my safety and Honda's response being to just sit and wait until the part comes in. They should be making more of an effort to fix this issue, especially since it is now October 2016. I am highly disappointed in Honda's service.

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- went to dealership to get my air bag replace, which they did't have needed to be order and waited 6 weeks. On October the 09, 2016 I was on a vehicle accident driving 25 miles and hour the right side tire hit and embankment and damaged my car for a total loss. The deployment of the airbag hit my chest with such force that my sternum was fracture and bruise through out my chest. I have being having severe pain for the past three weeks. The road is and uphill curve which the speed limit is 25 miles and is two lane road the vehicle behind me had lights on which I believe also were a factor because the lights reflected on the rearview mirror and was to close. Will summit a chp report when necessary.
