Takata recall: called my Honda dealer (brilliant Honda of crystal lake, IL) on April 8 after receiving letter from Honda corp. It has been more than 3 months & I still have not been called for my replacement. I live an hour away from closest Honda dealer & asked them for a "loaner car" which they do not have. I no longer feel comfortable driving more than 30 mins from my home, or taking passengers in my car. Can you help me?.

6 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 03/01/2016

Takata recall. This complaint does not involve an accident, but has to do with the prolonged period of time for repair of the issue for which I received a recall notice. The date on the notice is March 2016, and it promises the parts will be available in summer 2016. Tomorrow is September, which is not my idea of summer. I am taking my car into a Honda dealer for regular service this week, and I could have had the parts replaced had they been available, but they are not.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 01/18/2016

Takata recall my Insight was on the recall list early in 2016. Letter that came in March said part would be available in mid-summer. I'd called dealer with similar results. Way over 60 days since the VIN was posted online. I try to drive it as little as possible while waiting. Sad, for some tragic, situation. Not happy at all.
