My complaint is about my car I had an accident on September 26, 2018, in binghamton NY. My airbag was deployed, the seatbelt was damage, and also the front bumper. After I had the accident I received a recall paper and when I verified the number I found I had a recall. I called and talked to them, I also send the first complaint. They sent me an application I filled it out and sent it back. When I call they said to me they still working on it. I recently received another recall paper I called just to be inform about everything. * (recall related incident)

The contact owns a 2010 Honda Insight. While driving 30 mph, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle when the brake pedal was depressed. As a result, the contact crashed into the preceding vehicle. The air bags deployed with force and injured the contact's face and lower back, which required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 130,000.

The inflators were replaced 3/24/16 and 7/29/16. On 7/5/17 my son was hit by a man running a red light. To make a long story short, my son suffered numerous injuries including being knocked out by the airbag and continues to suffer from the concussion - I know the old airbag/inflator would have been worse. Also, the seatbelt bruised his chest and the doctor thought he had heart damage. Echocardiogram showed everything was fine - just bad chest bruise. My concern is that even though the inflators were replaced they, the airbag/inflator, still caused damage. 14 months later and still having issues with tbi. My son is 5'11" and sits as far back as possible when he drove the car. I'm sending 2 pictures so you can see that the car was destroyed. This is just an fyi.

Takata recall. I have called my dealer multiple times to find out any information regarding getting the airbag replaced and the dealer will not call me back. I have left multiple messages they are left unanswered. This recall came out over a year ago and it still is left undone. The other dealers around the area won't even take a look at it. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle. The dealers should not be treating the customers this way especially when it comes down to safety.

Takata recall I was informed of the recall on my car in January of 2016. I called my nearest Honda dealership (concord, ca) which said they'd send me a letter when they got the parts. They finally fixed the drivers side airbag in July 2016. At that time, I was informed that the passenger air bag was not replaced and that I'd get another letter in the mail once the passenger parts were in. It's January 2017 now and I still haven't heard anything. I'm moving 6 hours away from home in August and need my car repaired.

Takata recall. It has been 9 months since the recall. Honda has not sufficiently provided a solution to the issue. Their recommendation of having the front passenger seat for such a long period of time is not only unrealistic, it is also inconvenient and ultimately, unacceptable.

Takata recall. I received a recall notice rfom Honda of America in March 2016 warning of the takata problem. They stated that replacement parts would be available in the summer of 2016 and that I would receive a further notice when they were available. I have not yet received that letter. So I called Honda of America and they could not tell me if parts were available. They passed the buck by telling me to call my dealer. I did so and found that parts were available. So I have scheduled the replacement. My complaint is the lack of responsiveness on the part of Honda and my dealer. Either one should have contacted me when parts became available. Why is Honda motor still allowed to do business in the usa. They are either inept or crooked!

Takata recall. Received recall notice, saying that I would be notified when dealer had the replacement parts with an expected date of summer 2016. I emailed the dealership, but have yet to hear from them. The car is currently parked in garage. I don't want to sell or trade until the car is safe to drive, but this has gone on for a very long time. I just checked the Honda website. Their completion rate is less than 50%, yet they are seemingly very happy with that rate! that's outrageous!

Takata recall I received my first notice of the recall in March and another in July. The local dealer has yet to have the parts for replacement and just keeps telling me to call at the end of the month every month since March. This is extremely annoying to have limited use of my passenger seat and have no concrete date for a repair.
