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 - HONDA IS NOT ABLE TO REMEDY THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME. I WAS ORIGINALLY TOLD ABOUT IT ON MARCH 4, 2016 WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO BE SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL WHEN PARTS WERE AVAILABLE, PROBABLY EARLY SUMMER. ON JUNE 15,2016 I CALLED TO SCHEDULE THE FIX EVEN THOUGH THEY HAD NOT CONTACTED ME YET. I WAS TOLD PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. TODAY, AUGUST 9, 2016 I CALLED TO FOLLOW UP AND WAS AGAIN TOLD PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHEN THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE AND THEY CAN NOT GIVE ME ANY MORE HELP. I ASKED IF I SHOULD CONTACT NHTSA AND WAS TOLD YES. HONDA IS NOT BEING PRO-ACTIVE OR HELPFUL - JUST IRRESPONSIBLE WITH PEOPLES LIVES.

TAKATA RECALL - THE STORY: DURING THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AT ALL OF THE VARIOUS WEB SITES TO SEE IF THIS VEHICLE WAS UNDER A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS. EACH TIME, WE FOUND THAT THIS CAR WAS NOT LISTED. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA, REGARDING THE FRONT TAKATA AIRBAGS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HELD IT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, PLUS THEY PROVIDED US WITH A RENTAL CAR, AS THE VEHICLE WAS "UNSAFE" TO DRIVE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, I NOTICED ON THE WORK ORDER THAT ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED. (I HAD ASSUMED BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS WOULD BE REPLACED.) WHEN I QUESTIONED THE SERVICE REP, HE SIMPLY SAID THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. IN JULY, WE RECEIVED THE 2ND RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA, THIS TIME FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. WHEN I CALLED OUR SERVICE REP, HE INFORMED ME THAT ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED! I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE. THEY ALL TOLD ME DIFFERENT THINGS. THE FIRST ONE TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, DUE TO A "SENSOR" IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN I CHECKED OUT OUR CAR, IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE! THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY, EVEN IF THE SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED! OUR CAR DOES NOT HAVE THIS "SENSOR" FEATURE! AFTER WAITING SEVERAL DAYS FOR THE PROMISED "RETURN CALL" FROM CASE MANAGEMENT, I CALLED HONDA AT 888-999-1009. TALKED WITH A REP WHO TOLD ME THAT SHE COULD FIND NO RECORD OF MY EVER HAVING CALLED,OR ANY CASE SET UP AND SENT TO CASE MANAGEMENT! ALL OF THE PREVIOUS REPS HAD SIMPLY LIED TO ME! NOW, I AM SIMPLY WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL, WITH A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. IT IS UNSAFE. I NEED FOR HONDA TO TALK TO ME, AND MAKE A DECISION. I CAN TAKE THEM TO COURT TO RECOVER THE COST OF A RENTAL CAR , IF NECESSARY. HONDA CASE NO. 04897936.

SEAT BELTS
HELLO, MY WIFE OWNS A HONDA FIT 2015, JUST RECENTLY SHE WENT TO PICK MY MOTHER UP FROM THE HOSPITAL AFTER A SHOULDER OPERATION. WHEN MY WIFE ARRIVED AT MY MOTHER'S HOME SHE STOPPED THE CAR IN FRONT OF MY MOM'S HOME (ON CITY STREET), SHE OPENED THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND TO TRY TO HELP MY MOTHER TO EXIT THE CAR, SHE PULLED THE SEATBELT TO RELEASE IT, BUT IT ONLY GOT TIGHTEN MORE AND MORE, TO THE POINT OF BEING UNABLE TO UNRESTRAINED IT, DURING THAT PROCESS OF TRYING TO UNRESTRAINED THE SEAT BELT, MY MOTHER HAD TO BE MOVED BACK AND FORTH AND TO THE SIDES AND SHE STARTED BLEEDING FROM HER SHOULDER, THEREFORE MY WIFE HAD NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO CUT IT. THE CAR WAS LATER TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT, WAS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE BECAUSE MY WIFE CUT THE SEAT BELT. THEY GAVE US AN ESTIMATE OF $685.00 TO REPAIR IT, WE SAID THAT WE WERE NOT GOING TO PAY FOR IT, SO THEY GAVE US THE HONDA CORPORATE PHONE NUMBER. I CALLED THEM AND THEY AGREED TO REPAIR THE SEAT BELT AS A ONE-TIME COURTESY. THEY SENT US A LETTER THAT WE HAD TO SIGN SO WE WOULD RELEASE THEM OF ANY LIABILITIES MOVING FORWARD IF THE SEAT BELT WOULD MALFUNCTION AGAIN, IS THIS LEGAL? I NEED YOUR HELP, WHETHER TO ADVISE US TO SIGN THE LETTER OR NOT, OR IF WE SHOULD SEEK FOR LEGAL COUNSEL. THANK YOU. SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
