TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER 60 DAYS SINCE FIRST CONTACTING MY HONDA DEALERSHIP (AUTOMATION HONDA OF VALENCIA) FOR A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THEY HAVE NEITHER REMEDIED THE DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE, NOR MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO ASSURE MY SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CALL TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE SITUATION HAVE BEEN IN VAIN.

AIR BAGS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO BE REPAIRED AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT IT WOULD BE AN EXTENDED TIME THAT MY CAR WOULD BE OUT. I EXPLAINED THAT I DRIVE UBER AND THAT WAS MY MAIN FORM OF INCOME, WHEN I COULDN'T DRIVE A REGULAR ENTERPRISE, I SPOKE TO HONDA AND DID THE SECOND OPTION OF PAYING FOR IT UPFRONT AND BEING REIMBURSED 6-8 WEEKS AFTER I FILED MY RECEIPTS. THIS WAS GOING ON IN APRIL-MAY AND IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER. I AM OUT $1200 AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GET THEM TO REIMBURSE ME MY MONEY. THEY HAVE BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET ALWAYS REQUESTING MORE INFORMATION AND WANTING MORE AND NEEDING ME TO EXPLAIN. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND I WANT TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. SO TIRED OF BEING STEPPED ON BY THE BIG GUY.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE CALLED OCEAN HONDA MANY TIME TO SCHEDULE THIS RECALL. SERVICE DEPT. SAID PARTS ON ORDER AND WOULD BE PROCESS PER VEHICLE OWNERS REQUESTING REPAIR. I CALLED INITIALLY IN APRIL 2016 TO GET IN QUEUE; I CALL BACK IN JUNE 2016 AND THEY SAID I HADN'T CALLED BEFORE. VENTURA, CA IS A HIGH HUMIDITY LOCATION AND THUS SHOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO GET REPAIRS. I'VE CALLED MULTIPLE TIME SINCE AND STILL "NO PARTS." MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR WITH THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL FLAW. I REQUEST NHTSA DO SOMETHING TO SPEED UP REMEDIATION AND ASSESS STIFF FINES FOR LACK OF COMPLIANCE. THANK YOU. *TR

TAKATA RECALL HONDA RECALL NOTICE ADVISES "PARTS NEEDED ...WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL 2016..." AND "AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." TO NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY SEAT SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IS A HARDSHIP THAT REQUIRES AN IMMEDIATE REMEDY. I CALLED HONDA PACIFIC THIS MORNING AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WILL NOT BE PROVIDING ALTERNATE VEHICLES BECAUSE - UNLIKE THE DRIVER AIRBAG RECALL - THE CARS ARE STILL DRIVABLE. SO I BASICALLY HAVE TO SECURE ANOTHER VEHICLE AT MY OWN EXPENSE UNTIL HONDA CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS SITUATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME BUT I WAS TOLD THAT ALL I CAN DO IS MAKE A COMPLAINT. SO HERE IT IS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TAKATA RECAL - GOT A NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA RE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG RECALL. TOOK CAR INTO LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP 06/29/2016. WAS TOLD THAT ANOTHER RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG ALSO APPLIES TO MY CAR, AND THAT NEITHER AIR BAG IS AVAILABLE AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS TO BE PERFORMED. SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE ORDERED THE PARTS AND TOLD ME THAT I WILL BE NOTIFIED ONCE THEY ARRIVE, AND SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT HE CAN NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATE AS TO HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE FOR THE AIR BAGS TO ARRIVE. TODAY IS 07/27/2016, IT HAS BEEN 4 WEEKS SINCE MY FIRST VISIT TO THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE AIR BAGS, AND STILL NO AIRBAGS AND NO DATE OF THEIR EXPECTED DELIVERY.

STEERING
LOST POWER STEERING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HWY IN MY 2011 HONDA FIT WITH ABOUT 58,500 MILES DRIVEN.. HAD CAR PARKED IN THE SUN FOR SEVERAL HOURS WITH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE OF 92F, GOT IN AND DROVE HOME, HAD RADIO ON, A/C ON, GAS LEVEL CLOSE TO THE EMPTY INDICATOR ("E")., AND WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF DRIVING, WAS ON THE FREEWAY AT THAT TIME, THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSISTED STEERING FUNCTIONALITY FAILED. I ALMOST LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE, STEERING WAS HEAVY AND DIFFICULT, NO LIGHTS ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE A PROBLEM, WAS ABLE TO STAY IN # 1 LANE TILL I REACHED HOME. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR THE FOLLOWING DAY, AND POWER ASSIST FUNCTIONALITY WAS MAGICALLY RESTORED. I VISITED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMED THAT HE HAS NOT HEARD OF SUCH PROBLEMS WITH THE HONDA FIT, EVEN FOR EARLIER YEARS WHEN I ASKED SPECIFICALLY. SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE WAS NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN HOOKING UP ANY DEVICES TO SEE IF INFORMATION CAN BE RETRIEVED FROM THE COMPUTER IN THE CAR.
