TAKATA RECALL EFFORTS ARE NOT BEING COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE RECALL DATE FOR MY VEHICLE (MAY 23, 2016) WAS ALMOST FOUR MONTHS AGO AND I'M STILL TOLD THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, YET STILL HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

LIKE MANY OF THE TIRE WEAR COMPLAINTS FOR THIS VEHICLE, REAR TIRES DEVELOPED IRREGULAR FLAT SPOTS, AND REAR TIRES WERE VERY NOISY. TALKED WITH KEN IN TORRANCE, CA (AMERICAN HONDA) BUT HONDA REFUSED TO ACCEPT ANY RESPONSIBILITY. AFTER TWO SETS OF TIRES IN 33,000 MILES, KEN AGREED TO PAY 50% OF NEXT TIRE PURCHASE. IF THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE, THEN WHY WOULD KEN AGREE TO PAY HALF OF NEXT TIRE PURCHASE?

GOOD MORNING, I AM REQUESTING THAT THE NHTSA INVESTIGATE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG INFLATOR IN OUR 2008 HONDA CIVIC HYBRID. THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON AND WE SUBSEQUENTLY TOOK THE CAR TO OUR MECHANIC. HE INFORMED US THAT WHEN HE RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC, CODE "33-10" CAME UP, STATING THERE IS AN OPEN OR INCREASED RESISTANCE IN THE LEFT SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. MY MECHANIC SUGGESTED WE GO TO HONDA FOR MORE INFORMATION. DURING OUR VISIT TO HONDA, THEY CONFIRMED THE ISSUE AND INFORMED US THAT THE REPAIR WOULD COST ~$1,600 TO FIX. (ATTACHED IS A COPY OF THE INFORMATION FROM HONDA) WE THEN WENT BACK TO OUR MECHANIC, WHO SUGGESTED THAT WE CONTACT THE NHTSA ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WHEN CALLING THE SERVICE LINE, WE WERE INFORMED THAT WE SHOULD FILE A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. WE ARE OF COURSE VERY CONCERNED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH HONDA AND THE TAKATA INFLATORS, THAT PERHAPS OUR CAR MAY BE AFFECTED AS WELL. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF VEHICLES THAT ARE IMPACTED, WE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY. WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT NHTSA WILL BE ABLE TO SUPPORT US IN INVESTIGATING THIS MATTER. THANK YOU. *TR

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MAY, 2016 AND CALLED DEALER IN JUNE AND WAS TOLD PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR 2 MONTHS. I CALLED AGAIN 8/16/16 AND WAS TOLD THE PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL OCTOBER OR NOVEMBER. I LIVE IN TEXAS AND SCHOOL IS STARTING AND I PICKUP MY GRANDCHILDREN FROM SCHOOL SEVERAL TIMES A WEEK. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THEIR SAFETY IN MY CAR. I AM ANGRY AND DISGUSTED BY MY DEALER'S NONCHALANT ATTITUDE REGARDING THE RECALL REPLACEMENT. I WOULD LIKE TO SELL THIS CAR, BUT I COULD NOT IN GOOD CONCIOUS, WHILE THIS CONDITION REMAINS. IT IS DISTURBING THAT HONDA IS THIS UNPREPARED IN ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM, ONE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERY TIME I CALL THAT A CASE MANAGER HAS TO CALL ME BACK, BUT AFTER A WEEK I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. MY CLIENTS AND MY EMPLOYMENT ARE SUFFERING. I NEED YOUR HELP IN HELPING ME GETTING HOLD OF A CASE MANAGER FROM AMERICAN HONDA WHO CAN AUTHORIZE THE RENTAL OF A SAFE VEHICLE WHILE I WAIT FOR MY HONDA TO GET FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (LEITH HONDA IN RALEIGH) AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THEY THINKS THE PARTS WILL BE IN WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS, BUT IT IS JUST A ESTIMATE. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME!

TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED THIS CAR TO TRANSPORT MYSELF, SPOUSE AND 3 CHILDREN. SINCE BEING NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, I CAN ONLY TRANSPORT 4 OF US, SINCE BY HONDA'S OWN INSTRUCTIONS ON THE RECALL, "HONDA SUGGESTS YOU SHOULD AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." I REQUESTED A LOANER CAR FROM HONDA ON 7/23/16 AT 1-888-234-2138 AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FORWARDED TO THE "CASE MANAGEMENT DEPT". NO CONTACT FROM HONDA. I CALLED AGAIN ON 8/4/16 AND WAS TOLD BY KIA THAT THERE IS NO DIRECT PHONE # TO CASE MANAGEMENT, THAT I HAVE NO ASSIGNED CASE # FOR THE LOANER REQUEST AND THAT SHE COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE CASE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT. THIS UNSAFE CAR AND LACK OF RESPONSE BY HONDA IS CREATING A BURDEN FOR MY FAMILY. I NOTIFIED KIA THAT I WOULD BE MAKING A COMPLAINT TO NHTSA.
