TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH ABOUT THE DRIVER'S AIR BAG BEING RECALLED AND CALLED MY HONDA DEALER TO GET ON LIST FOR FIX. 4 MONTHS LATER AND HAVE NOT HAD A RESPONSE. ABOUT TWO MONTHS IN I CALLED AND THEY STATED THEY COULD DO NOTHING AND I WOULD RECEIVE A LETTER WHEN PART WAS IN. NOTHING YET. TODAY RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER FROM HONDA STATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG ALSO DEFECTIVE! WHEN AND HOW CAN I GET THESE PROBLEMS FIXED IN A MORE TIMELY MANNER.

SEAT BELTS
SEAT BELT BUCKLES IN CENTER REAR SEAT AND LEFT REAR SEAT ARE REVERSED. HONDA DEALER SAYS THAT HONDA DESIGNED THEM TO BE USED THIS WAY. THIS MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO BUCKLE.

TAKATA RECALL BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS RECALLED. LONG WAIT TIME. FOR DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG, I WAS ABLE TO GET ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION WHILE I WAITED FOR REPAIR BUT NOT FOR PASSENGER SIDE. HONDA WILL NOT PAY FOR ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION WHILE I WAIT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TO COME IN, THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. I PAID FOR A CAR THAT SEATS 5 AND NOT USING THE PASSENGER SEAT WHILE I WAIT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.

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.

TAKATA RECALL: I CALLED LITHIA HONDA IN MEDFORD , OREGON THREE MONTHS AGO AND INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER 9IN MARCH 2016. HE SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS AND INFORM ME WHEN THE PART ARRIVED, THEN I COULD MAKE AND APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. I CALLED YESTERDAY FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS INFORMED THE PARTS WERE NOT THERE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE BECAUSE HONDA CONTROLLED THE PARTS AND THE DEALER HAD NO CONTROL IN GETTING THE PARTS. I WAS TOLD TO CALL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. HONDA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE CAR BY DELAYING THE REPAIR. THE RECALL LETTER SAID THAT DRIVING THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING. I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS.

TAKATA RECALL--HENDRICK HONDA OF CHARLESTON, SC HAS HAD MY AIRBAGS ON ORDER FOR OVER 2 MONTHS AND CANNOT GIVE ME ANY IDEA AS TO WHEN THEY WILL BE REPAIRING MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT, WHILE THEY CAN GIVE ME A LOANER/RENTAL UNTIL MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG IS REPAIRED, THEY WILL NOT ALLOW ME TO USE THE LOANER/RENTAL UNTIL MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG GETS REPLACED. SO BASICALLY, THEY CARE IF I DIE, BUT NOT MY HUSBAND, CHILD, OR FRIEND WHO HAPPENS TO BE RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT! THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO REPAIR THESE CARS, THEY SHOULD HAVE TO BUY THEM BACK FROM US LIKE VOLKSWAGEN IS DOING FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE YESTERDAY (25JULY 16) OF PASSENGER SIDE RECALL. I NOTIFIED LOCAL HONDA (HENDRICKS HONDA OF CHARLESTON) OF THE FACT THAT I HAD A PLANNED TRIP TO MI FROM SC THIS FRIDAY AND WOULD NEED THE AIR BAG REPLACED BY THURSDAY THAT ME OF DAY. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS SCHEDULE COULD LIKELY NOT BE MET AND THAT THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE A LOANER. I CALLED THE HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE # AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING; TO HEY AGREED TO ESCALATE MY CONCERN BUT COULD NOT GIVE ME AN EXPECTED TIME OF A REPLY. I DO NOT HAVE THE OPTION OF ANOTHER VEHICLE AND FEEL THAT MY CHOICES ARE BETWEEN AN UNSAFE CONDITION AND A RENTAL AT PERSONAL EXPENSE; I BELIEVE THIS TO BE UNFAIR.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS POSITIONING MY CAR OUTSIDE MY OFFICE FOR LOADING. I BACKED IN, THEN PUT THE CAR IN 'D(RIVE)' TO INCH FORWARD A BIT. BEFORE I COULD STEP ON THE GAS, THE CAR ACCELERATED AND WITH ENGINE RACING HEADED TOWARD A HIGH CURB BEYOND WHICH STOOD A LARGE, MATURE TREE. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES BUT TO NO AVAIL; THE PEDAL WENT LIMPLY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT AFFECT. AT THE SAME TIME I SHIFTED INTO N(EUTRAL), AGAIN WITHOUT AFFECT. I GRABBED FOR THE HAND BRAKE BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. THE CAR JUMPED THE HIGH CURB AND PLOUGHED INTO THE TREE. KNOWING THAT MY FOOT HAD NOT SLIPPED OFF THE BRAKE AND ONTO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, I CHECKED THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND WAS SHOCKED TO SEE NUMEROUS SIMILAR STORIES ABOUT THE HONDA FIT COVERING A DECADE! MY FEAR IS THAT HONDA WILL NOT TAKE THIS PRODUCT DEFECT SERIOUSLY UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED!
