Takata recall - after multiple attempts to have the dealer from whom the vehicle was purchased replace the airbag, we've been repeatedly told "they'll let us know when they are available". given the time which has passed since the recall was announced, this is no longer an acceptable response. We need your assistance with Honda to have the safety repairs related to the air bag performed.

I received a recall notice in July 2016 on the airbag defect. I have tried having the vehicle serviced but have not had any luck. Several calls have been made to the local dealer and they are still unable to repair my vehicle. It has been over 2 months (60 days) since I contacted the dealer for a repair appointment. All of this time I must avoid having any passengers ride in the front passenger seat until the recall is performed. I am unable to use my vehicle to Transport my family on trips and therefore unable to use it for its intended purpose.

Takata recall.- it has been more than 60 days (since I received the letter from Honda and since I notified Honda of fort worth, 3400 w loop 820 S, fort worth, tx 76116. I have called them several times and they told me to avoid having a passenger on the front seat. This is not acceptable; I have children and that's why I got an SUV, children ride in the back and adults in the front. If I am not able to drive our Pilot the way it was designed, I would like to request an equal loaner vehicle until the air bag is fixed. Waiting longer is not acceptable.

I received a notice from Honda automobile division, saying I have a recall on my car. The air bags are defective, and a dangerous hazard to my family! and should repaired by Honda. I have taken my car to the the dealer and they said they will contact me as soon as the parts a in. This was back in July of 2016! I have not received a call! I have made several trips to the dealer and each time they said the same thing it should be just a couple of days. I tried to contact them on 9/15/2016 and I still get the same answer. I called Honda America and they said the parts are on back order. I then listen to a message from bruce smith S.V.P. saying this is something I should not take lightly.! needless to say, I am very frustrated and anxious, as this is a very serious life or death situation! I am very concerned for the safety of my family....

Takata recall: I received notice July 2016 of this recall and immediately contacted my dealership who ordered the necessary parts on July 19, 2016. I have been calling the dealer weekly to check on the parts arriving. As of this week, the parts have still not come in and not being able to use the passenger seat has caused a significant inconvenience with my job and my family.

Takata recall. Honda automobile division sent me the recall but now says contact dealer. Dealer ordered part 3 Aug. To date no part. Dealer takes trade ins cars requiring recall and sells them. I was told swapping recall parts by the dealer is authorized. Are my parts being swapped by the dealer to sell trade ins instead of fixing customers. Dealer is university Honda, florence al, 35630. Honda automotive division is recordings only, dealer has no answers and makes no contact regarding status of ordered part while I continue to drive an unsafe vehicle. Honda has not stepped up to the plate on this issue and only put you on to the dealer who appears more interested in selling trade ins that fixing customers' cars. Honda should track recall parts by VIN and inform the customer when their part has been shipped with expected delivery date. As currently managed the customer has no way of knowing anything about the status of the part ordered for their car by VIN. Trust in the dealer is not a viable solution as their objective is to sell cars, Honda has the responsibility to the customer for safe cars and they are failing. I also have a 2009 Honda ridgeline VIN# [xxx] that is subject to the recall with the same issue. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall I have reached out to Honda 3 seperate times in relationship to providing a rental vehicle since receiving the notification our vehicle is part of the takata recall. They suggest we do not have anyone ride in the passenger seat as part of their recommendation. With a family of 4 with two small children in car seats there recommendation is not possible. Our other vehicle they suggest we drive is a Honda ridgeline, also part of the recall for the passenger side airbag. There is also not enough room in the back to seat 2 children in car seats along with an adult. Each time we have called that say they will escalate the case. We have yet to hear a response in a month.

Takata recall Honda is refusing to call me in regard to this recall, and specifically to discuss options for alternative transportation. O I received a recall letter from Honda in July 2016, instructing me to not use the front passenger seat. O I contacted them on 7/19/2016, and they said that a case manager would call me back, but no such call came. O I called them back on 8/5/2016. They told me a case manager would call me back, but again, no such call came. They told me my case number is 04888305. They also told me to call my dealer, which I did, (they said that parts are back ordered, with no delivery estimate, and meanwhile, I'm still using the front seat. O I called them back on 8/22. This time, they sent an internal message to the case worker, marking this case as urgent, but again, no call back has taken place. So, in summary, it has been 45 days since my first phone call to Honda, and I still have received zero response. At this point, it appears that Honda is refusing to call me regarding this airbag recall. Due to my large family, I am forced to use the front seat, and this puts my family at risk. I want to discuss with them the availability of alternative transportation while we are waiting for the parts to arrive.
