3 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 04/05/2019

Takata recall - when I called the Honda dealership in ames they said they could not find my information in their data base. After I gave them my phone number, name, and VIN number. It was not a pleasant experience. I would also like to complain about the brakes on my truck. I took it to the local mechanic and he could not get the brakes adjusted to where there was not very much play in the pedal. You have to push down a long ways for the brakes to engage. It is a big safety issue.

4 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 10/06/2017

I just took my truck in for the airbags recall about 2weeks ago, October q2th, 2017. Since I've gotten it back the windshield wipers don't work as good as they dud and I just put new wipers on before I took it into auto nation Honda in columbusga. Now there's a greasy film on the windshield that I can't get off. Also there's another recall the dealership didn't acknowledge, fuel pump relay, so there's a recall for my truck for that part and hasn't been taken care of so I feel my safety is at stake, I also have a 4year old daughter.

8 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2016

I contacted checkered flag Honda on 7/8/16 to schedule corrective action on the air bag recall. I was told that the parts would be ordered and they would contact me when they were received in order to schedule the repair. On 9/2/16, I had not yet heard from them, so I called to see what the status. I spoke with technician [xxx], who informed me that the parts had not even been ordered yet. I just received an email from [xxx] confirming that they are now on order, but to have this action unnecessarily delayed is unacceptable. This is the only vehicle in which I can transport my severely disabled mother to her many doctor appointments, and the recall directly affects the seat she occupies. I would appreciate anything you could do to ensure the delivery is expedited and the service is completed as soon as possible. Thank you. The number to the dealership we contacted is [xxx].

9 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2016

Takata recall. Received recall notice in early July. Made appointment at livermore Honda for Aug 1 specifically referring to recall notice. Received several emails over a period of several weeks from the Honda dealer reminding me of my appointment and referring to the specific recall. Went to the appointment this morning and was told that the parts hadn't been ordered. What did they think the appointment was for? they said it would be 2 to 3 weeks before the part comes in and they would call me to set up a new appointment. It doesn't seem that the dealer is trying to remedy the defect in a reasonable period of time. It has cost me time and money to say nothing of possible danger because of ttheir inaction.

Failure Date: 04/15/2015

This information is regarding the already existing air bag recall by Honda. I received a recall notice in the mail today (April 15, 2015) and called my local dealer for an appointment. The earliest appointment was July 10, 2015. Because this is a safety recall notice, I called Honda customer service and inquired as to why a safety issue recall would take nearly 3 months to remedy. I was told that most patrons are waiting longer than that and he (gary) was surprised that I actually got a specific appointment. He said there is a supply backlog of replacement air bags. I replied that with a safety issue such as this, and given the resources of Honda motor CO. , they should do whatever is necessary to expedite the process. Are customers supposed to drive their vehicles not knowing if a catastrophic occurrence could happen at any time? my question for NHTSA is are you aware of this repair delay and have you demanded that Honda expedite the process? thank you.
