TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH 2016 THAT THIS DEFECT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL OR HURT ME AND MY PASSENGERS. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND TOLD THE PART WOULD BE IN SOON. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE LETTER, AND SAT ON HOLD FROM MORE THAN 15 MINUTES WAITING FOR AN ANSWER ABOUT MY PART, STATING AGAIN MY SAFETY CONCERNS. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND CALLED HONDA NATIONAL AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS SUCH A MASSIVE RECALL, GETTING THE PARTS IS SLOW. SO IN THE MEANTIME, I DRIVE A CAR THAT PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. TODAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD I COULD GET AN ALTERNATIVE CAR TO DRIVE IN THE INTERIM. BETTER, BUT STILL NOT COMFORTING TO KNOW MY CAR IS NOT ONLY DEFECTIVE, BUT GETTING A RESOLUTION IS PROVING TO BE PROBLEMATIC AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY. MY CONCERNS ARE: 1. WHY DOES IT TAKE THIS LONG? THAT SEEMS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE WHEN POTENTIAL DEATH IS INVOLVED. 2. WHY DIDN'T MY DEALERSHIP OFFER A CAR EARLIER FOR MY SAFETY? 3. WHY AM I ON HOLD FOR 15 MINUTES WITH A DEALERSHIP INQUIRING ABOUT MY PART WITH NO ANSWER? IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS DIFFICULT. 4. MY CAR WAS BARELY TWO YEARS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WHY COULDN'T I HAVE JUST BEEN GIVEN A NEW CAR TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE ONE SINCE IT'S SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN? THIS SITUATION REALLY MAKES MY CAR A LEMON!

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA IN MARCH, 2016 STATING THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS 'WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016' AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL LETTER FROM HONDA. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER. SINCE I LIVE NEAR THE COAST I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HIGHER HUMIDITY CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE INFLATOR. IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS WITHOUT RESOLUTION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

RECEIVED NHTSA RECALL NOTICE 16V-061 IN MARCH 2016. CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WAS NOT YET IN. CALLED AGAIN OVER THE SUMMER, AND AGAIN TODAY (9/26/2016) AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS STILL NOT IN. WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE LENGTH OF TIME TO CORRECT A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE DEATH AND INJURY TO THE DRIVER.

SEATS
DRIVER'S SEAT SUDDENLY LOCKS IN POSITION SO THAT IT WILL NOT SIDE FORWARD OR BACK. SINCE THE DRIVER NEEDS TO MOVE THE SEAT BACK TO GET OUT OF THE CAR AND FORWARD TO REACH THE PEDALS TO DRIVE, SHE WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BACK FROM RUNNING ERRANDS.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2016, AND WITHIN A DAY OR TWO CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER, MC GRATH HONDA, LOCATED AT 1411 E MAIN STREET IN ST CHARLES, IL. THEY SUPPOSEDLY PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST. I HAVE CALLED THEM 3 TIMES, AND EVEN STOPPED BY ONCE TO INQUIRE ON THE STATUS O MY VEHICLE. THEY HAVE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. EVEN ON MY DROP BY VISIT, I WAS NOT GIVEN AN ANSWER, JUST TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK THE NEXT DAY...DID NOT HAPPEN. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING OVER 180 DAYS TO GET THE REPAIR. I HAVE EVEN CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER SCHAUMBURG, IL, BUT HAVE HAD NO BETTER LUCK WITH THEM. IF THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN, MAYBE THEY SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON FIXING THE CARS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. HELP ME GET MY CAR FIXED. I RELY ON IT TO TAKE MY HANDICAPPED MOTHER TO HER DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS IN CHICAGO.
