We saw a news report about the air bag recalls for these vehicles in late summer last year. We called the dealership when our SRS light came on to see if our vehicle was part of the takata-brand airbag recall. When we called, the dealership stated that our vehicle was not included in the recall. We reset the SRS computer. We never received any paperwork stating there ever was such a recall. While out running errands on 01/31/2015 we heard a news report about a prior recall for the takata airbags did not work properly. Our SRS light is back on after a couple of computer resets without a code ever pulling up on the vehicle. When we got home we decided to do a recall check by VIN on Honda's website. The vehicle has incomplete recall from 06/19/2014. The call number is 14V-351. This is a serious issue when it comes to safety: 1. for not being notified of a potentially dangerous recall, 2.for being lied to about the recall when calling the local dealership. We are going to try going to the dealership with a copy of the online search using their system on Monday 02/02/2015. Hopefully we can get some answers, but our prior experience with this is unacceptable.

My vehicle is included in airbag recall 14V-349 dated July 21, 2014. I have not received a recall notice, the dealer cannot order parts because Honda hasn't released a replacement part number, the dealer will not disconnect my airbags (Toyota recommends this short-term procedure until parts are available), and american Honda (1-800-999-1009, [xxx] @ [xxx]) will not return my calls. I am moving to Florida Nov 12, and do not have a car to drive. Is Honda required to complete recalls within a designated period, or can they extend repairing vehicles indefinitely until they eventually rust away? information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
This defective part is in my vehicle. I checked with american Honda. This defect has caused deaths and serious injuries to drivers when air bag is deployed. Honda cannot replace it at this time and it can cause me serious injury and accidents. Please have Honda change this immediately or remove air bag and replace with a new one immediately.
I don't know if this is right form but I have a complaint with Honda. I have a recall on my car and they do not have the parts manufactured to remedy the recall. They will not provide any other solution. I called the Honda recall department and my case manager never got back to me; they had told me it was going to be 24-48 hours until they got back to me and she never has gotten back to me. I want a loaner vehicle until my car can be fixed. They did not authorize this. I told [xxx] on the phone that I was going to start recording the conversation to make sure I had everything correct and she said "you do not have my permission to record this call" and hung up. If the remedy is not available for my car, I want a car in the interim until my vehicle can be fixed and safe to drive.
