THEN, BECAUSE OF ICE AND SNOW CAR LOST CONTROL, SPUN,HIT BACK AND FRONT AND PASSENGER SIDE.I STOP AFTER 180 DEGREE TURN. NO ONE INVOLVED. DAMAGES WERE FRONT BACK AND PASSENGER SIDE AND SOME OF INTERIOR. FRONT BUMPER WAS FALL OFF. MY CAR WAS TOWED BY AAA WHO WAS CALLED BY THE POLICE. MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS BOTH WINDOW AND DOOR WERE DROPPED, BUT NON OF THEM HAD AIR AT ALL. JUST EMPTY BAGS WERE DRAGGED. THEN I CHECKED THE AIR BAG STATUS ABOUT MY CAR. MY CAR WAS ELIGIBLE FOR RECALL ON DEC/20/16 AS I SEE ONLINE, BUT HONDA DEALER NEVER GAVE US A NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL. MY HUSBAND PURCHASED THE CAR 07 AS A NEW AT HONDA DEALER IN SALEM NH.

TAKATA RECALL: I TOOK MY CAR TO POWAY HONDA (POWAY, CA 92064). THEY CHARGED ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIX THIS RECALL. I DON'T THINK IT WAS FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL. MY WIFE HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER CALLED ME TELLING ME THAT THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON WHEN MY WIFE DROPPED IT OFF (I LATER FOUND OUT FROM MY WIFE THAT THEY WERE LYING ABOUT THIS - THE SRS LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN SHE DROPPED IT OFF). THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE FIXING THE RECALL DIDN'T CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO OFF THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG AND THEY NEEDED TO RUN ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS FOR WHICH THEY CHARGED ME $120.88. AFTER RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTICS THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR... I TOLD THEM THAT WAS WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR, THEN HE QUICKLY CHANGED HIS STORY A COUPLE OF TIMES FROM IT BEING THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND THEN THE PASSENGER AGAIN. IT SOUNDED A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS, AND MY SUSPICIONS WERE CONFIRMED AFTER TALKING TO MY WIFE, WHO STATED THAT THE SRS NOR ANY OTHER WARNING LIGHT WAS ON.

TAKATA RECALL RECALL FOR PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS ISSUED 5/23/16. RECALL NOTED THAT REMEDY PARTS WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA AND WAS TOLD PARTS STILL ARE NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS NOW BEEN 8 MONTHS WITH NO REMEDY AVAILABLE, WHICH IS EXTREMELY TROUBLESOME AS HONDA RECOMMENDS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THE VEHICLE, BUT FEAR I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO, OR WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT A MUCH LOWER SALE PRICE, DUE TO THE OPEN RECALL. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER ABOUT THE RECALL SOMETIME THE BEGINNING OF 2016. THEY STATED THAT THE REMEDY WOULD BE READY LATE SUMMER OR EARLY FALL 2017. IT ADVISED ME TO NOT LET ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL IS TAKEN CARE OF. IT IS NOW MID JANUARY 2017 AND NO WORD. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT, WITH A FAMILY OF 5, FOR SOMEONE TO NOT BE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT SEEMS THEY NEED TO MAKE THIS A A HIGHER PRIORITY AND TAKE CARE OF THIS IMMEDIATELY. STILL WAITING FOR ANY INFORMATION FROM THEM.

ENGINE
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE THIS SPRING IN MAY 2016. IT HAS ONLY 46,000 MILES ON IT AS OF TODAY 1/9/17. I HAD NOTICED THIS FALL WHEN IT WAS GETTING COOLER OUTSIDE A VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. IT VIBRATES WHEN IN PARK, NEUTRAL AND WHEN BACKING UP. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO TAKE A LOOK AT IT AND I WAS TOLD IT WAS A COLLAPSED MOTOR MOUNT. I REALLY FEEL THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE CAR IS BARELY BROKEN IN. IS THERE ANY TYPE OF RECALL ON THIS?

TAKATA RECALL. IN JULY 2016, WE RECEIVED INITIAL NOTIFICATION OF THE AIRBAG RECALL. WE CALLED THE DEALER DAY, MIDLANDS HONDA, TO GET IT REPAIRED. MIDLANDS HONDA, IN LEXINGTON, SC TOLD ME THEY WOULD CALL WHEN THE PART WAS IN. IN OCTOBER 2016, I CALLED THE MIDLANDS HONDA, SINCE WE HAD NOT HEARD ANYTHING. THEY TOLD ME THEY COULDN'T EVEN TELL ME IF THE PART HAD BEEN ORDERED. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA, AND THEY SAID WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THE DEALER. WE HAVE WAITED OVER 6 MONTHS TO GET THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING RECALL REPAIRED, AND NEITHER THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER, NOR AMERICAN HONDA, IS DOING ANYTHING TO GET THIS REPAIRED. I'M NOT SURE IF I NEED TO GET AN ATTORNEY INVOLVED, OR NOT. WE NEED TO GET THIS AIRBAG RECALL REPAIRED, BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR KILLED, DUE TO HONDA'S LACK OF RESPONSE, AND APPARENT LACK OF INTEREST IN THEIR CUSTOMERS WELL BEING. PLEASE PROVIDE SOME ASSISTANCE. THANK YOU. *TR

HI WE BOUGHT THIS CAR 3 YEARS AGO AND WE TOOK IT FOR INSPECTION MAYBE 10 MONTHS AGO. WE WERE TOLD MY THE HONDA DEALER INSPECTORS THAT THE CAR DIDN'T NEED TO FIX ANY THING, AND THAT IF THE CAR NEED IT ANY REPAIRS THE CAR DID NOT QUALIFY FOR IT. SINCE THE CAR HAD MORE THAN 100,000 MILES. BUT ON DECEMBER 16,2016 MY SON WAS DRIVING UNDER THE RAIN AND AS HE WAS SWITCHING LANES TO EXIST THE FREEWAY HIS CAR LOST CONTROL HIT A RAMP IN THE FREEWAY GOT A DAMAGE ON THE REAR BUMPER, BUT THE MOST SCARY PART IS THAT THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOYED AT THE TIME OF THE IMPACT. INSTEAD ONLY THE DRIVER SIZE CAME OUT DID NOTHING TO SUPPORT HIS HEAD BECAUSE THE BAGS DID NOT DEFLATE AT THE TIME OF THE IMPACT. THE OTHER DEFECT WAS THAT HIS SEAT WHICH WAS THE DRIVER SIT WAS RIPPED FROM THE SIDE AND AGAIN THE AIR BAD DIDN'T DEFLATED . THE DAMAGE ON OUR VEHICLE WAS SO SEVERE FROM THE INSIDE THAT THE INSURANCE HAS DECLARED THIS CAR AS A TOTAL LOST. *TR

SEATS
I BEGAN TO HAVE BACK AND NECK PAIN AFTER BUYING A HONDA CIVIC 2007. I FINALLY REALIZED THIS PAIN IS DUE TO THE FORWARD TILT OF THE HEADREST WHICH PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD AND DOWN WHENEVER I AM SEATED IN THE CAR. I HAVE DEVELOPED SERIOUS NECK PROBLEMS REQUIRING TREATMENT, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND POSSIBLE SURGERY IN THE FUTURE. THIS HEADREST DESIGN CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR PASSENGERS TOO. THESE HEADRESTS CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO A COMFORTABLE POSITION. HUNDREDS OF DRIVERS ARE COMPLAINING ONLINE AND IN OTHER WAYS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HEADRESTS ON HONDA AND OTHER MAKES OF CARS MANUFACTURED TO US "SAFETY" REGULATIONS. THESE HEADRESTS HAVE CAUSED ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONCERNS AS DRIVERS MUST TRY TO ADAPT SEAT AND/OR HEADREST POSITIONS IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE SOME RELIEF FROM THE PAIN CAUSED BY ABNORMAL BODY POSTURE. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NHTSA TO DEVELOP AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE CREATED WITH THIS DESIGN REGULATION OR TO ALLOW THE CAR MAKERS TO DO SO.
