Takata recall. The contact owns a 2011 Acura TL. The contact stated that the air bags warning light illuminated after the vehicle was serviced for NHTSA campaign number: 19V182000 (air bags). The contact was uncertain if the repair was completed because after the repair the vehicle was retained and months later another notification was sent for NHTSA campaign number: 16V061000 (air bags). The dealer walker Acura (8951 veterans memorial blvd, metairie, la, 70003, (504) 464-4004) serviced both recall campaigns. The dealer had not told the contact about the air bag light being illuminated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The approximate failure was not available.

The contact owns a 2011 Acura TL. The contact stated that two different dealers claimed to have remedied the recalled air bags; however, the contact stated that a brand new (unopened) box of air bags was left in the trunk of the vehicle. The contact did not provide the recall information. Also, while driving approximately 50 mph two days ago, the air bag indicator illuminated off and on. The vehicle was taken to one of the dealers where it was diagnosed that the side air bag was in the trunk and not the ones that were repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not remedied. The failure mileage was 102,000.

Takata recall - airbags. Received a notice in April 2016 from Acura that there had been a recall on airbags for my auto due to possible injuries including fatality should they implode. The notice advised I would be notified this summer when parts were available. I have yet to be notified and the safercar.gov website indicates a remedy is still not yet available as of 8.9.16 for my vehicle. So basically I have had to knowingly drive around in death trap for the last 4 months with my family praying what is suppose to help save our lives doesn't end up killing us should we be involved in an accident before the airbag and auto manufacturers get their act together and correct this.

Takata recall- took car in for battery replacement. Informed of recall. Told replacement couldn't take place until sometime in summer. Offered a car as temporary replacement. It was indicated car wouldn't be of quality of mine, would be of enterprise rental quality. I thought this was unreasonable considering the period of time. I declined the offer. Was told to sign a letter of refusal. Wasn't told decline was an option (don't know if it was). Required my signature on the declination. Later I realized that was most likely a ploy to escape litigation against Acura and/or takata in the event of an accident: Offering an undesirable option and leaving an owner with reduced grounds to take legal action if he should decline. Should this be allowed?
