MY TAKATA AIR BAG HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE BY HONDA RECALLS. UNFORTUNATELY, THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAG IS ANOTHER TAKATA AIRBAG. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? MY QUESTION IS: WHY IS HONDA REPLACING DEFECTIVE TAKATA AIRBAGS WITH TAKATA AIRBAGS? SINCE TAKATA IS CONTINUING TO MANUFACTURE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN THE AIRBAG IN MY HONDA. SHOULDN'T HONDA USE ANOTHER AIRBAG MANUFACTURED BY ANOTHER COMPANY TO REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAG.

I DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I AM REPORTING HONDA BECAUSE THEY LIED TO ME AND SAID MY CAR WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE AIRBAG RECALL BECAME PUBLIC I CALLED THEM TO ASK IF MY CAR WAS ON THE RECALL. I WAS INSTANTLY TOLD IT WAS NOT. I JUST TODAY WENT TO THIS SITE ONLINE AND LOOKED IT UP AND FIND IT IS. I BELIEVE HONDA WAS INVOLVED IN A DELIBERATE COVER-UP. *TR

WAS TOLD PARTS WOULD TAKE ABOUT 1 TO 1 1/2 WEEKS TO ARRIVE. THEY NEVER CALLED ME TO BRING IN MY CAR. CALLED NAT'L HEADQUARTERS IN TORRANCE CA.

HONDA ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THESE AIR BAGS COULD CAUSE DEATH IF DEPLOYED.THEY ARE DERRELECT IN NOT PERFORMING SERVICE IN A TIMELY MANNER AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. *TR

PAINT/CLEAR COAT IS PEELING/DISSOLVING PRETTY BAD ON THE TRUNK AND THE ROOF. TRIM ALONG WINDOWS IS ALSO BEGINNING TO PEEL. HONDA DEALERSHIP WON'T TAKE CARE OF ME, I LOVE THE CAR, BUT IT IS COMPLETELY EMBARRASSING DRIVING AROUND WITH THIS PAINT PROBLEM AND $3000 TO FIX SHODDY PAINT FROM THE FACTORY IS NOT SOMETHING I FEEL I SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THE DEFECTIVE CLEAR COAT AND IT IS NOT OUR FAULT THEY TRIED TO CHEAP OUT ON THE PAINT AND WE ARE BEING MADE TO PAY THE PRICE. WE HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT OUR CARS NEW AND HAVE OWNED MANY HONDAS. WE ARE VERY DISAPPOINTED AS WE ARE DRIVING A CAR THAT LOOKS HORRIBLE. WE HAVE OTHER CARS THAT ARE PARKED OUTSIDE AS WELL AND NONE OF THE OTHERS HAVE THIS PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE SO THAT HONDA FIXES THEIR CLEAR COAT ISSUE TO LOYAL BUYERS OF THEIR CARS. SHAME ON HONDA. *TR

AIR BAGS
THE AIR BAGS ON MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD WERE RECALLED 6 MONTHS AGO BECAUSE THEY APPARENTLY COULD EXPLODE AND KILL PASSENGERS WITH SHRAPNEL IF THEY GO OFF IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE BEEN WAITING MONTHS FOR HONDA TO REPLACE WITH AIR BAGS WITH NO RESOLUTION IN SIGHT. CULVER CITY HONDA IN LOS ANGELES, CA KEEPS TELLING ME THEY AREN'T ABLE TO GET THE NEW PARTS SHIPPED IN BECAUSE OF THE PORT STRIKE IN LOS ANGELES. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO MAIL THINGS, AND I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY AREN'T TRYING HARDER TO GET THE PART FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WHEN THEY'VE ALREADY HAD 6 MONTHS. 5 PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY DIED FROM THIS DEFECT AND THEY HAVE NO URGENCY TO FIX THIS AT ALL. I DON'T WANT MY WIFE DRIVING THE CAR WITH SUCH A DANGEROUS FAULTY PART, BUT IT'S THE ONLY CAR WE OWN. WHO MAKES SURE THESE COMPANIES ACTUALLY FOLLOWS THROUGH ON THE RECALL REPLACEMENT? WE NEED SOME HELP PLEASE. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I TOOK MY HONDA TO HONDA OF STEVENS CREEK AND ASKED IF THEY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT MY CAR NOT STARTING WHEN IS LEFT ON HOT WEATHER. THEY SAID THEY WAS A BULLETIN BUT NO RECALL AND THEREFORE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FIX. I LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PRESSURE REGULAR OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. HOW DOES ONE GET A COMMON PROBLEM FIX OR START A RECALL PROCESS? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT HAVING TO USE MY VEHICLE IN COLD WEATHER ONLY IS PROBLEMATIC. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

HI ON 3/3/2015 I TOOK MY HONDA IN TO BREAKAWAY HONDA TO DO A RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS ALSO HAD A FEW OTHER THINGS REPAIRED. MOSTLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS. HAD TO RETURN 5 DAYS LATER FOR A PART .I ASKED THE SERVICE DEPT REPRESENTATIVE WHY MY SRS LIGHT WAS STILL ON, HE SAID SOMETHING WAS STILL WRONG WITH MY AIRBAGS AND IF I HAD A WRECK I STILL WOULD NOT HAVE AIRBAG. BUT I COULD PAY 89.95 TO HAVE IT HOOKED UP TO A MACHINE AND IF IT WAS THE SEAT BELT I WOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY BUT IF IT WAS SOMETHING ELSE I WOULD. DIDN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME, SHOULD I PAY AGAIN TO HAVE AIRBAGS REPAIRED OR IS THAT SOMETHING HONDA SHOULD TAKE CARE OF. SOMETHING ELSE IS THEY NEVER GAVE ME A CALL ON THE SERVICE THEY HAD DONE. *TR

SUSPENSION, STEERING, STRUCTURE:BODY
THE REAR BEAM OF THE FRONT SUB FRAME HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. THIS LOCATION DIRECTLY AFFECTS THE SWAY BAR BUSHING MOUNT AS WELL AS A BODY ATTACHMENT TO THE SUB FRAME. THE CAR WAS EXHIBITING A SQUEAKING/CLUNKING NOISE DURING TURNS AND HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY IN A SHORT MATTER OF TIME. THE REST OF THE FRONT SUB FRAME SHOWS NO SIGNS OF RUST OR DAMAGE WHILE THE PASSENGER SIDE IS COMPLETELY DESTROYED. IT APPEARS THAT THE CAUSE MAY BE LINKED TO THE LOCATION OF THE AC DRAIN HOSE DIRECTLY ABOVE THIS LOCATION. *TR

STEERING
POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING FROM PRESSURE LINE HOSE. STEERING CONTROL SEEMS STRANGE AND BURNING OIL SMELL COMING FROM ENGINE. HONDA HAS RECALL FOR SAME ITEM ON 2003-2007 MODELS. IF SAME PROBLEM FOR SAME PART IS EVIDENT ON 2002 MODEL IS THIS VEHICLE AT RISK FOR LOSING STEERING CONTROL AND POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD? IF SO, WHY WOULDN'T THE RECALL EXTEND TO 2002 MODELS AND SHOULD HONDA FIX FOR FREE? IF NOT, ARE YOU SAYING THERE IS NO SAFETY PROBLEM TO BE CONCERNED WITH? *TR
