2003 Honda Element. Consumer writes in regards to passenger side airbag and ignition switch safety recall. The consumer stated the vehicle was improperly repaired during the recall repair process. The consumer stated the manufacturer was contacted but, did not offer any assistance.
Takata recall: I sold this vehicle (2003 Honda Element) in early 2011. When the airbags were recalled, I began receiving notices form Honda about the recall. I have returned the mailings and also called the 800 number (at least 4 times in total), each time letting them know that I no longer own the vehicle. I continue to receive recall notices, despite notifying them that I am not the owner. This would point to the fact that the actual owner of the car is not receiving notices. If Honda is not accurately updating their database, owners at risk from this recall may be oblivious to it.
Takata recall since receiving the first recall notice in June if 2016, I've called the Honda dealership where I purchased my vehicle(ourisman Honda, bethesda md.) - and where I have it regularly serviced - 3 times. They promise to call me when they can replace the defective part, but have yet to call me with a service appointment. I've waited ten months since receiving thenrevall notice, and just today received a second recall notice for the same issue.

I received notice in late June 2016 regarding the recall, and called at the beginning of July, scheduled an appointment for July 13, 2016.

Takata recall : airbag recall slip, no parts available, steering seems to have issues on drivers front, while in motion, transmission whines, while backing and driving any road style, remote key lock issues, stationary
Takata recall: I have received a recall notice for this vehicle. I note that the dealer is required to address the issue within 60 days of an appointment date. Our dealership is garcia Honda in albuquerque nm. Over the last two weeks I have tried numerous times to schedule an appointment. When I call I am forwarded to a number which rings, and rings, and rings.... and no one ever picks up. Seems inappropriate to try to get around the 60 day requirement by never allowing someone to schedule an appointment.
Takata recall. At less than speed limit of 35 mph, vehicle encountered icy conditions on hill, and vehicle rolled approximately 100 feet off of road into gently graded area. Vehicle was able to drive straight out without any significant body damage, yet airbags both deployed upon exiting the road, most likely due to rolling over a small curb before leaving roadway. This was a city street, early in the morning of March 23, 2016, with my licensed and insured 16 year old daughter driving. But for the airbag deployment she would have driven away without incident, but dual deployment resulted in burns to her jacket and right arm and a laceration to her left knee due to her reaction to the unexpected deployment. I believe the airbag initiators were overly sensitive or on a hair trigger. Estimated speed at time of deployment is 25mph or less. Vehicle was previously owned and registered in New Mexico and apparently in storage for a period where it would have been extremely hot and/or humid at times, but at time of incident was owned and registered in North Dakota. Police and insurance reports are pending at this time. Police, insurance and ambulance reports would not even exist but for shock of airbag deployment as there was no impact, no other vehicles involved, and no tickets issued or driving cited.
