Recall was dated 5/23/2016 to replace the passenger side air bag. I was notified this past summer that the parts were not available but i would be notified late summer/fall of 2016. It is now 1/11/2017 and i have not received a notification from them to replace the air bag. This is not acceptable since i can not have a passenger ride along until this is fixed. I would like this fixed asap or know what kind of…

I have had to have the sun visor/airbags on my 2008 honda civic replaced 3 times because something keeps popping in them. Honda replaced the first 3 times under warranty. The fourth time it popped, honda said that they were out of warranty and they would not replace them for free. I feel honda should still be responsible for the replacements, as they keep replacing the sun visors with the same old crappy ones that…

I called my local dealership, performance kings honda and was told i was "on the list." i called back today, 11/11/16, and was told that they do not have the part to fix it and wouldn't have it until june 2017.

Takata recall - this issue has not been resolved in a timely manner. I continue to drive around terrified that i will get in an accident and my airbag will deploy. I should feel safe because of my airbags but instead i feel fear. I kept my car in florida from 2008-2012 and understand that the heat may make my vehicle more vulnerable. I would like to get this resolved as quickly as possible so that i can feel safe…

Takata recall efforts are not being completed in a timely manner. The recall date for my vehicle (may 23, 2016) was almost four months ago and i'm still told that parts are not available to correct the issue, yet still have to drive around in a vehicle that is potentially deadly. This is unacceptable.

We called a second time (in november 2016) and they said the same thing - that they needed to order the parts. This dealership never ordered…

Tl* takata recall. While driving approximately 10 mph, the air bag ruptured without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who stated that they would repair it at the contact's expense. The failure was not due to the open recall and was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that it was different from the deployment versus a rupture; therefore, it would not be remedied. The vin…

Takata recall. I have to wait on parts to be available. In the meantime i must drive my car and i am taking a chance of having metal pieces fly in my face even as the driver. We drove cars without airbags long ago-i should have the choice at least of dismantling the airbags until they can be fixed. This is crap!
