TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE IN EARLY JULY. MADE APPOINTMENT AT LIVERMORE HONDA FOR AUG 1 SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO RECALL NOTICE. RECEIVED SEVERAL EMAILS OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL WEEKS FROM THE HONDA DEALER REMINDING ME OF MY APPOINTMENT AND REFERRING TO THE SPECIFIC RECALL. WENT TO THE APPOINTMENT THIS MORNING AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS HADN'T BEEN ORDERED. WHAT DID THEY THINK THE APPOINTMENT WAS FOR? THEY SAID IT WOULD BE 2 TO 3 WEEKS BEFORE THE PART COMES IN AND THEY WOULD CALL ME TO SET UP A NEW APPOINTMENT. IT DOESN'T SEEM THAT THE DEALER IS TRYING TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. IT HAS COST ME TIME AND MONEY TO SAY NOTHING OF POSSIBLE DANGER BECAUSE OF TTHEIR INACTION.

OUR VEHICLE IS THE FAMILY VEHICLE AND LEAVES IN A BIND. WE SHOULD BE COMPENSATED WITH A RENTAL OF EQUIVALENT VALUE. HONDA HAS REFUSED ANY COMPENSATION WHAT SO EVER.

SEAT BELTS
THE TRUCK STRUCK A TREE AND THE HARNESS SEAT BELT DID NOT WORK PROPERLY RESULTING IN A BROKEN BACK IN TWO AREAS CAUSING DISABILITY. THE BAG DID DEPLOY. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK NEW IN 2006 AND NOTICED THAT THE BELT NEVER TOOK HOLD NO MATTER WHAT SPEED YOU THRUSTED THE BELT FORWARD. I BELIEVED KNOWING THAT HONDA IS USUALLY ON TOP OF THEIR GAME THAT THEY FOUND A WAY FOR THE HARNESS NOT TO TUG AT YOU AS THEY USUALLY DO. WHEN I WOOK UP AT THE HOSPITAL AND THEY TOLD ME I BROKE MY BACK I KNEW IMMEDIATELY THAT THE HARNESS BELT DID NOT WORK AND THAT IT WAS A MALFUCTION. IN THE MEANTIME ERIE INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALED THE TRUCK AND AFTER BEING TOLD VARIOUS TIMES TO HOLD THE TRUCK AND AGREED TO BY THE ADJUSTER FOR AN ATTORNEY TO LOOK AT IT,THE TRUCK WAS SOLD TO A SALVAGE YARD AND THE CASE WAS DROPPED BY THE ATTORNEY.

NHTSA RECALL 14V-351, SAFETY RECALL LETTER DATED APRIL 2015. I HAVE CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP (BRANNON HONDA - BIRMINGHAM AL) MANY TIMES SINCE APRIL 2015 AND EVERY TIME THEY CLAIM THAT HONDA HAS NOT SENT THEM THE PARTS TO FIX THESE DEATH DEALING AIR BAGS. APPARENTLY, THE NHTSA IS MERELY AN AFTERTHOUGHT TO HONDA! HOW IS ONE SUPPOSED TO GET THE PROBLEM WITH THESE AIR BAG SYSTEMS CORRECTED???

I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED HOME WHERE I FOUND TRANSMISSION FLUID IN THE RADIATOR , I CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY IMPLIED THEY HADN'T HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BUT QUOTED AN APPROXIMATE REPAIR OF SOMEWHERE NORTH OF $5,000 FOR LABOR,AN AFTER MARKET RADIATOR AND A REBUILT OR JUNKYARD SALVAGE TRANSMISSION. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED NUMEROUS POSTINGS OF THIS ISSUE WITH SEVERAL MODELS WITH THE SAME DRIVE TRAIN.
