TAKATA RECALL - UNREASONABLE TIME SINCE NOTIFICATION FOR PARTS STILL NOT TO BE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE DEFECTED AIRBAG(S). NO MATTER WHETHER I'VE HAD AN INCIDENT I CARE FOR MY UNCLE AND CAN NOT TAKE HIM PLACES IN MY VEHICLE UNTIL YOUR COMPANY DEEMS IT NECESSARY TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX ITS MISTAKE. PLEASE FIND AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION OR PROVIDE A LONER CAR. AND, I FIND IT HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THE PROBLEM IS ONLY IN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND NOT THE DRIVER OR SIDE AIRBAGS. YOUR NOTIFICATION DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH EXPLANATION OR PEACE OF MIND. YOU HAVE LOST A 4X HONDA CUSTOMER ON A FUTURE CAR PURCHASE AND I'M SURE MANY OTHERS DUE TO YOUR POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS ISSUE.

WHEN THE RECALL FIRST CAME OUT, I CALLED AND THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT I WAS NOT PART TO OF THE RECALL. THIS WAS IN 2014 OR 15? THEN I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE DEALER STATING THAT MY CAR COULD POSSIBLY BE PART OF THE RECALL. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE LETTER SPECIFICALLY WAS INTENDED TO SELL ME A NEW CAR USING SCARE TACTICS. I SPOKE TO AMERICAN HONDA BECAUSE I WAS SO MAD AT THEM FOR TRYING TO SELL ME A NEW CAR, BASED ON FEAR AND THEY ONCE AGAIN PROMISED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND OFFERED ME A $200 GIFT CARD. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A LETTER DATED JULY 2016 STATING THAT IN FACT MY CAR IS PART OF THE RECALL, AND INSTRUCTING ME TO NOT HAVE, " ANY PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT UNTIL REPAIR." NOW MY CAR IS IN MY GARAGE SINCE JULY UNDRIVEABLE. I CANNOT DRIVE MY FAMILY ANYWHERE AND THE CAR SITS. THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL FIX IT. THE DEALER HAS LIED TO ME FROM DAY ONE OF THE RECALL AND NOW THEY ARE TELLING ME TO NOT HAVE PASSENGERS SIT IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. WHAT ABOUT THE DRIVER? TECHNICALLY, THE DRIVER ISN'T SAFE EITHER ACCORDING TO THE LETTER. I NEED HELP. I AM WITHOUT A CAR.

SUMITOMO 70K 600AB 94V HTR ENHANCE L/X 2255017HTR PURCHASED ALL 4 TIRES NEW AT 84K ON 9-11-2014. ON 7-2-2016 AT 103K, I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-95 ABT 70 MPH, CAR SUDDENLY STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. MANAGED TO RIDE IN EMERGENCY LANE TO NEXT EXIT AT 15 MPH TO FIND A TIRE SHOP ON NEXT EXIT. HAD TO PURCHASE 2 NEW TIRES- CAUSE WAS A SIX INCH SECTIONS OF TREAD THAT APPEARED TO HAVE SEPARATED INTERNALLY. HAD NUMEROUS "BUBBLING" ON BOTH TIRES, BELT SEPARATION WAS NOTICEABLE. THESE ARE 70K TIRES AND THEY ONLY HAD 19K MILES ON THEM. I WAS ALONE AND HEADING TO JAX, MANAGER OF TIRE PLACE SUGGESTED THAT WE TAKE SEVERAL PICS OF THE TIRES SINCE I WASN'T ABLE TO TAKE THEM WITH ME (MY TRUNK WAS FULL). WASN'T ABLE TO MAKE IT BACK TO GA FOR ANOTHER 3 WEEKS DUE TO MED EMERGENCY- UPON RETURNING BACK, I TOOK MY CAR TO THE TIRE PLACE THAT INSTALLED THEM ALONG WITH THE PICS AND RECEIPT. MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO SAVE THE 2 DEFECTIVE TIRES (AS IN BRINGING THEM WITH ME!) AND THAT I WAS SUPPOSED TO CALL THEM WHEN IT HAPPENED (THEY ARE CLOSED ALL WEEKEND) AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO COMPENSATE ME FOR THIS ISSUE WITHOUT THE ACTUAL TIRES! I HAD NO IDEA THAT THIS WAS EXPECTED OF ME.

EVEN WITH CORRECT TIRE PRESSURE, THE TPMS WARNING LIGHT COMES ON AFTER ABOUT 20 MILES, OR AT TIMES COMES ON AT START UP AND REMAINS ON. SOMETIMES CAN GO MONTHS WITHOUT IT COMING ON. THIS IS NOT THE SEPARATE LOW TIRE PRESSURE INDICATOR.

I WAS GETTING READY TO LEAVE FOR WORK ONE MORNING AND I NOTICED WHEN I CRANKED THE CAR UP THAT IT MADE A KNOCKING NOISE FOR ABOUT 2 SECONDS AND QUIT. I DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH A FOUND THAT A LOT OF THE SAME CARS HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS THE VTC ACTUATOR. IT ONLY DOES THIS WHEN IT IS COOL. IF IT HAS BEEN CRANKED UP IT WILL NOT DO IT.

IN APRIL OF 2016, I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I HEARD THE FAN STILL RUNNING. I ALSO SMELLED ANTIFREEZE. FOLLOWING ADVICE FROM A MECHANIC, I CHECKED THE FLUIDS TO LEARN THAT THERE WAS NO ANTIFREEZE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO REPAIR SHOPS. BOTH PUT A PRESSURE TEST ON THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT IT WAS HOLDING PRESSURE. I TOOK IT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ON A FRIDAY WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. I TOLD THEM THAT I SMELLED ANTI-FREEZE BUT DID NOT SEE ANY LEAKING UNDER THE CAR. THEY ASKED ME TO BRING IT BACK THE NEXT WEEK SO THEY COULD HAVE MORE TIME TO ANALYZE THE COMPLAINT. THEY PROVIDED ME WITH A LONER CAR FOR THREE DAYS. WHEN THEY COMPLETED THE DIAGNOSTICS THEY CALLED ME AND TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED AN ENGINE, I WAS DEVASTATED. WHEN I PURCHASED THE AUTO, IN HAD 22,000 MILES. AT THIS TIME IT HAD ABOUT 80,000. I PURCHASED THE AUTO OCTOBER 2011. MY THOUGHTS WERE, THIS IS UNHEARD OF. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. IT HAS NEVER RUN HOT WITH ME. I HAVE RECORDS OF THE MAINTENANCE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE AUTO THAT WAS NOT REPORTED ON CAR FACTS THAT I AM NOT AWARE OF. EVERY TIME I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE, I HAD TO REQUEST THAT THEY STABILIZE THE FLOOR CARPET. THAT CONCERNED ME. WHY WAS THE OLD REMOVED AND NEW INSTALLED. WHEN POSING THAT QUESTION, I WAS TOLD THAT MORE-THAN-LIKELY IT WAS SOILED BEYOND CLEANING. BUT THAT IS MINOR COMPARED TO HAVING TO PURCHASE AN ENGINE FOR AN VEHICLE THAT IS KNOWN TO ENDURE THRU 300,000+ MILES DURING ITS LIFE. SOMEONE IS NOT BEING TRUTHFUL. I NOTIFIED CARL HOGAN THAT I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE FROM HIS DEALERSHIP AND I WILL DO MY PART TO ENSURE THAT THOSE I COME IN CONTACT WITH REFRAIN AS WELL, EVEN IF THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL TO ANOTHER CITY OR STATE. NOW, I MUST SPEND A MINIMUM OF 2,500 TO REBUILD THE ENGINE OR UP TO 4,500 TO PURCHASE A NEW ENGINE.
