TAKATA RECALL MY DAUGHTER DRIVES MY 3 GRANDCHILDREN IN THE HONDA FIT 2007. NOT ONLY HAS THE RECALL NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BUT THE INDICATOR THAT TURNS THE AIRBAG ON AND OFF OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT IS BROKEN AND IN THE ON POSITION WHICH ENDANGERS EVERYONE IN THE AUTOMOBILE NOT JUST THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER. ALL SEATS ARE NEEDED. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE FOR OUR DAUGHTER. IT IS AN EMERGENCY TO HAVE A SAFE VEHICLE TO USE. OUR GRANDCHILDREN AND DAUGHTER'S LIFE DEPENDS ON IT. WE HAVE CALLED NUMEROUS TIMES, CONTACTED BOTH THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MANUFACTURER AND TO NO AVAIL. THEIR ONLY RESPONSE IS THAT THE PARTS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE AND THERE ARE A LOT OF VEHICLES INVOLVED IN THE RECALL. THAT DOES NOT HELP US. WE NEED A SAFE VEHICLE!!!!

THIS CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, IT WAS REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS HONDA FIT WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A CONSTRUCTION ZONE IN SUBURBAN CARY, NC WHEN IT WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A SMALL TRUCK THAT WAS GOING APPROX. 45+ MPH. THE IMPACT PUSHED THE FIT FORWARD INTO SOME CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. THE TRUCK DRIVER WAS FOUND FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRASH AND WAS NOT INJURED. FOR THE FIT, AIR BAGS INFLATED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT NONE FOR THE DRIVER. FORTUNATELY, THE DRIVER WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE FIT. AS SHOWN IN PICTURES (ATTACHED), THE DRIVER' SEAT TIPPED BACKWARDS FROM IT'S UPRIGHT POSITION. THE HEAD REST COMPLETELY FELL OFF AND ENDED UP IN THE BACK SEAT, GIVING THE DRIVER MINIMAL PROTECTION. IN ADDITION, A METAL BAR UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS THRUST FORWARD, CAUSING A DEEP AND LARGE HEMATOMA IN THE DRIVER'S LEG.

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

AND AROUND 17,000 MILES THE CAR DEVELOPED AN EXTREMELY LOUD SQUEAK THAT SOUNDED AS THOSE IT WAS COMING FROM THE DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHO DISCOVERED THAT WERE LOOSE BOLTS FROM THE FACTORY CAUSING THE FRONT BUMPER TO SQUEAK. IN THE PROCESS OF LOOKING FOR THE SQUEAK THEY DISMANTLED THE DASH BOARD. NOW THE DASHBOARD HAS COME APART AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND CANNOT BE PUT BACK TO ORIGINAL FACTORY SPECS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR A PASSENGER IN THE EVENT OF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.

TAKATA RECALL WHEN I RECEIVE THE RECALL NOTICE FOUR MONTHS AGO I WENT TO HERB CHAMBERS HONDA IN BURLINGTON, MA. THEY REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A SUBSTITUTE VEHICLE BECAUSE I HAVE A TEENAGE DRIVER. THEY TOLD ME TO CALL AMERICAN HONDA ABOUT IT - I DID, I OPENED A CASE, AND HAVE NEVER HEARD ANYTHING. I HAVE BEEN CALLING HERB CHAMBERS EVERY FEW WEEKS BUT ALL THEY WOULD TELL ME IS THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX THE CAR. I TRIED CALLING HONDA GALLERY IN READING. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE PARTS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE VEHICLE (HERB CHAMBERS NEVER TOLD ME THIS) AND THAT IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER SIX WEEKS IF THEY MARK IT 'URGENT'. NICOLE IN SERVICE SAID SHE CAN'T TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE. SHE DID NOT KNOW IF THEY WILL GIVE ME A RENTAL OR NOT, SAME REASON, I HAVE AN 18 YEAR OLD DRIVER. I FEEL THAT HONDA WAS PERFECTLY HAPPY TO SELL ME A DEFECTIVE CAR BUT IS DOING NOTHING TO EITHER FIX IT OR PROVIDE SAFE TRANSPORTATION.

TAKATA RECALL THE PARTS HAVE BEEN UNAVAILABLE FOR OVER 6 MONTHS NOW FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY. IT IS UNREASONABLE THAT A MANUFACTURER CAN LET PEOPLE WAIT THIS LONG FOR SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO MAKE MORE PARTS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

THE TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE (TPMG) ON THE DASHBOARD COMES ON RANDOMLY. WHEN RESET IT STAYS OFF FOR MINUTES THEN COMES ON AGAIN. IT STAYS ON EVEN WITH CORRECT RECOMMENDED TIRE PRESSURE IN ALL 4 TIRES. THE SPARE TIRE IS NOT HOOKED UP TO THIS GAUGE. THIS CAR IS MOSTLY HIGHWAY DRIVEN AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH WHEN THIS OCCURS BUT ALSO OCCURS RANDOMLY AT OTHER SPEEDS. WHEN THE GAUGE COMES ON THE TIRE PRESSURE IS ALWAYS NORMAL.

TAKATA RECALL AND PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL: I ORIGINALLY CONTACTED SCOTT ROBINSON HONDA IN TORRANCE, CA IN MARCH 2016 REGARDING THE RECALL. I WAS TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL JUNE 2016 TO CONTACT THEM TO ADDRESS THE RECALL BECAUSE THEY WERE OUT OF PARTS. I CALLED THEM IN EARLY JULY AND LEFT TWO PHONE MESSAGES. I ALSO WENT TO THEIR WEBSITE AND WEB-CHATTED WITH A REPRESENTATIVE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD GET BACK TO ME WITHIN A DAY OR TWO. IT HAS BEEN WEEKS AND I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM ANY OF MY MESSAGES. THEY ARE IGNORING MY MESSAGES. EVEN IF THERE IS A DELAY IN SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT THEY COULD AT LEAST LET ME KNOW. THEY CONTINUE TO DISREGARD ME EVERY TIME I CONTACT THEM. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE SERVICE FROM SCOTT ROBINSON HONDA AND I'M CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY.
