I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN JUNE 2016, I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED AND BE IN 4-5 DAYS. NEVER RECEIVED A CALL BACK. I CALLED THEM SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL BE IN. I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY DID NOTHING EITHER. COMPLETELY KEPT IN THE DARK, MY CAR WAS REAR ENDED THIS WEEKEND, LUCKILY THE PASSENGER AIRBACK DID NOT DEPLOY OR MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED.

TAKATA RECALL. CALLED DEALERSHIP AND ORDERED PASSENGER AIRBAG PARTS ON JULY 7TH, AND AGAIN ON JULY 20TH WHEN THEY SAID MY FIRST CALL WAS NOT IN THE SYSTEM. I CALLED AGAIN ON AUGUST 20TH AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO TIME IN THE FUTURE WHEN THIS WOULD BE FULFILLED. THIS IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE, AND WE DO NOT HAVE ROOM TO DRIVE SAFELY IN IT.

TAKATA RECALL - PARTS NOT BEING PROVIDED TO FIX PROBLEM. HONDA NOT HELPING US WITH ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, WONT EVEN CALL US BACK. USE CAR SEVERAL TIMES WEEKLY WITH FULL PASSENGERS. ONLY ONE CAR. DON'T FEEL SAFE. HAVE KNOWN ABOUT RECALL SINCE 7/6/16 AND ON THEIR LIST. STILL NO FIX AND NO HOPE TO BE FIXED SOON. CAR COMPANIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING A SAFE, USABLE PRODUCT. OUR CAR IS NOT SAFE OR USABLE IN THE MANNER WE NEED TO USE IT. THIS HAS CAUSED MUCH HAVOC IN OUR REGULAR ROUTINE. HONDA HAS BEEN UNCONCERNED ABOUT OUR CASE.

TAKATA RECALL I CONTACTED THE DEALER ON 6/27/2016 TO SCHEDULE RECALL REPAIR. I CALLED AGAIN ON 8/25 AND THEY STATED PART WAS ORDERED ON 7/19 (MORE THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER MY INITIAL REQUEST) AND IS STILL NOT IN. THIS DELAY IS CAUSING SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS AS I CANNOT TRANSPORT ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT FOR THE LAST 2 MONTHS! STILL NO WORD ON TIMING OF REPAIR. VERY FRUSTRATING .

TAKATA RECALL HONDA IS NOT RESOLVING MY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION NEEDS WHILE THEY DEAL WITH THEIR RECALL ISSUES. THEY GAVE ME A ROUGH ESTIMATE OF 2019 FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS TO FIX MY EXPLOSIVE AIRBAG. I HAVE WAITED A WEEK NOW WITHOUT A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEPARTMENT I WAS INSTRUCTED TO CALL AND I AM NOT BEING ABLE TO SAFELY USE MY VEHICLE. THIS SITUATION IS NOW COSTING ME PERSONALLY ON MANY LEVELS, BOTH IN SAFETY AND FINANCIAL MEANS AS I CAN'T USE MY CAR. I AM ASKING THE GOVERNMENT FOR HELP BY FILING THIS COMPLAINT.

NHTSA RECALL 16V-344 REQUIRING REPLACEMENT OF THE AIRBAG ON MY VEHICLE WAS ISSUED ON MAY 23, 2016. I WAS TOLD BY MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (HONDA CARS OF ROCK HILL (SC)) THAT THE BAGS WERE NOT AVAILABLE BUT ON ORDER. IN JULY, 2016, I RECEIVED FROM AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR COMPANY A NOTICE OF THE RECALL INCLUDING THE STATEMENT,"HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP BACK AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT I WAS "ON A WAITING LIST." ON AUGUST 16, I AGAIN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THAT THEY "HAVE NO IDEA" WHEN THEY WILL BE. TODAY, AUGUST 17, I SPOKE WITH AMERICAN HONDA AND A REPRESENTATIVE SAID, "NO ONE CAN TELL YOU WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE." IF NO ONE IN HONDA KNOWS WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE THEN IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT THEY NEVER WILL BE. IT IS UNREALISTIC AND IMPRACTICAL (AND UNSAFE) TO ASSUME THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WILL NOT BE USED UNTIL SOME DATE NO ONE IN HONDA KNOWS.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHEN I AM DRIVING WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON AND TURN THEM TO LOW BEAM THEY GO OUT AND IT TAKES DIFFERENT LENGTHS OF TIMES FOR THEM TO COME BACK ON. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE 2 YEARS AGO AND THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY FIXED IT. IT WORKED FINE UNTIL THE OTHER NIGHT DRIVING HOME ON A COUNTRY ROAD WHICH WAS EXTREMELY SCARY. I TOOK IT BACK AND THEY SAID THEY CHECKED IT BUT IT WASN'T FROM THE RECALL. I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT CARS BUT I'M HAVING A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING WHY THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM IS FROM SOMETHING ELSE.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LOW AND HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED WORKING WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT NIGHT. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF BUT THE BLUE HIGH BEAM SYMBOL ON THE DASHBOARD WOULD LIGHT UP AT THE TIME OF FAILURE, EVEN THOUGH WE HAD NOT SWITCHED TO THE HIGH BEAMS. AT ONE POINT THE HIGH BEAM SYMBOL FADED SO IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS HALFWAY ON, THEN WENT OFF COMPLETELY AND THE HEADLIGHTS WORKED AGAIN. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, THE HIGH BEAM SYMBOL LIT UP AGAIN AND THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING FOR THE REMAINDER OF OUR DRIVE. THIS WAS AFTER DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. FOG LIGHTS, RUNNING LIGHTS, BRAKE LIGHTS, AND TAIL LIGHTS STILL WORKED THROUGHOUT THIS ISSUE.

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!!!!
