"takata recall" I'd gotten a notice from art moehn Chevrolet & Honda and it said I need to have my airbags replaced. That was several months ago. I'm on some kind of waiting list. In the mean time I drive on an interstate highway daily to work. Why aren't there enough airbags for the recall" are we waiting for more people to be killed? is the government going to give us free rental cars til enough airbags get reproduced"

Takata recall - I own 2 Honda that are both under recall at the same time for the same issues. I have requested a rental from Honda due to fear for my life and the life of my passengers. They told me to not let someone ride in the front passenger seat. Which means I can only Transport 4 people instead of 5 that the car is suppose to safely Transport. I bought this automobile to Transport 5 people safely. Honda is telling me I can't Transport 5 people safely until this is fixed. Honda needs to provide me with safe transportation for 5 people until they can fix this car to Transport 5 people safely. My compliant is Honda is not providing me with my car or another car to Transport 5 people safely which is what I purchased from them.

Takata recall - Honda sent me a recall letter advising me that they didn't have the parts and would provide alternative transportation. I called the dealer and the 1-888-234-2138 Honda customer service numbers. They advised me that I will only get a vehicle that they can rent for $35 a day or less. I have a Ridgeline truck that has seating for 5 and a bed for cargo. I have a family of 6 and have to get 4 children and their bicycles to a babysitter every day. I also am a boy scout leader and take scouts and their gear camping at least once a month. A midsize or compact car is not an adequate replacement for the Honda that they need to take away from me. Made two calls to the local dealer and three calls to the 1-888# for Honda. Honda said they would assign a case manager, but it has been three weeks with no return call. If Honda has a recall and the truck they sold me is not safe, then I feel they have the responsibility to offer me something similar (seating for 5 + cargo space). They have left me in a situation where I have to drive the unsafe vehicle because the arbitrary limit on the rental car does not allow them to provide me with a suitable replacement that allows me to get my family where we need to go. The stress of driving my family and boy scouts around in an unsafe vehicle creates an incredible amount of stress for me. In my final call today to 888-234-2138 (Honda customer service), they advised me that my next step is to file a complaint. I feel I have been patient awaiting Honda to call me back. Toyota provided a like for like loaner when they had to park vehicles waiting for airbag parts.

Takata recall - received notice contacted dealer. They will give me a "loaner" vehicle until my vehicle gets fixed. I need a vehicle with a hitch capable of towing a trailer that is 4000 lbs with a hitch weight of 285. They said they can't provide that without me paying an upgrade cost of about 30$. I contacted american Honda and opened a case to have them pay the upgrade. So far they have not provided any information and as of last week the case hadn't even been assigned to a case manager. When I spoke with them today, they said the case manager hadn't made a decision. So meanwhile I drive around in an unsafe vehicle. My case with american Honda is #04585652. My notice said if I wasn't satisfied with the way Honda is remedying the situation to write you folks. Please help...

Takata recall american Honda motor co. (ahmc) is only providing alternative transportation in the limited form of a rental car. My affected vehicle is a truck with which I tow a boat. I was informed by ahmc that replacement parts for the recall will not be available until August or September. Their letter states that it is not safe to drive and that "the defect could kill or injure you or other people in your vehicle". they would not authorize any local dealership to provide a replacement vehicle capable of towing. This is not reasonable, given it will be possibly 5 or 6 months (April - Sep) before I will be able to use the truck again, which means I cannot use my boat either, during the summer months!
