I called the dealer in anaheim on July 19, 2016 to get the repair needed for my Honda Fit 2008 and was told by marvin that kerry, manager was going to get back to me and to date I have not had a return call. I also called the dealer in santa ana, calfornia on August 23, 2016 and was told that they did not have the part to fix the car. I cant put anybody in the passenger seat because of this problem and it is causing a great inconvenience for me.

Takata recall: We were informed that we were on the recall list in May. I immediately contacted Honda for a loaner, as we are a one-car household. They told me to ride in the backseat, despite the fact that we bought/use this car for hauling large items. Fast forward to almost 3 months later--still no word on where our replacement is, and I'm still riding in the backseat. We've tried calling Honda multiple times--they fill out a customer service ticket and we never hear back. So basically we are unable to use the car in the manner we intended to when we purchased it, and there's no end in sight. I have never been given the run-around like this, and I cannot fathom why we haven't even been called back. I feel tricked and angry. Please help.

Takata inflator. The car was involved in a single-car, front end collision. The driver-side airbag deployed but did not inflate. Honda currently has a recall only for the passenger side and is not agreeing to repair/replace the defective driver side bag.

Received notice in the mail for takata recall (NHTSA recall #: 16V-344) and power switch replacement recall (NHTSA recall #: 13V-260). Called walnut creek Honda service department on 7/22/16 to schedule an appointment, but was denied service despite the potential fatal danger of these safety recalls. Provided VIN number to [xxx] from service department four times, who repeatedly told me she cannot find my VIN in their system and therefore there is nothing she can do about the recall. I offered to provide other information such as make/year/model to help locate my vehicle, but [xxx] refused to take any information and insisted there is nothing their dealership can do about the recalls. I asked her for recommendations in terms of how to get these potential fatal defects replaced, she provided the same answer "there is nothing we can do". heard similar stories from other Honda owners about the walnut creek Honda dealership. Seems like walnut creek Honda is systematically denying recall services in an attempt to drive car owners away so they will take their problems elsewhere. I filed a complaint with the Honda recall center headquarter, who reached out to walnut creek Honda and made them agree to perform the required recall work on my vehicle. But nobody should have to jump through so many hoops to get safety recalls taken care of in America in the first place. I can only imagine how helpless other people must feel when they were denied such important recall service, especially if they were not aware of an avenue to escalate matters with the Honda recall center or with the NHTSA. My complaint is with walnut creek Honda, not Honda on the corporate level. I hereby ask the NHTSA to launch an investigation into the misconduct and likely illegal action by walnut creek Honda in denying car owners of their rights to safety recall services. Thank you.

Takata recall I received the NHTSA recall notice 16V-344 yesterday, identifying a very dangerous risk associated with passenger side air bags. I read that the required part will not be available until "late summer/fall of 2016." Honda then has the nerve to say "Honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed." So I'm not to have full use of my vehicle until months down the road when they feel like making the part available and a dealer feels like installing it? this is completely unacceptable.
