Takata recall I have reached out to Honda 3 seperate times in relationship to providing a rental vehicle since receiving the notification our vehicle is part of the takata recall. They suggest we do not have anyone ride in the passenger seat as part of their recommendation. With a family of 4 with two small children in car seats there recommendation is not possible. Our other vehicle they suggest we drive is a Honda ridgeline, also part of the recall for the passenger side airbag. There is also not enough room in the back to seat 2 children in car seats along with an adult. Each time we have called that say they will escalate the case. We have yet to hear a response in a month.
We are expected a wait of possibly months and forgo using the passenger seat. This is unreasonable since we use our auto everyday and many times with multiple passengers who can not climb to the rear to use the small seats. Also, I am sure that the driver side air bag is also a takata bag. Should we stop driving our auto all together? I think we should be given a loaner if this is the case.
My airbag caused me injury when it deployed during a collision. I was the driver of the vehicle at the time. My vehicle was subject to a recall because rivets that attach the driver's side airbag were not installed.
