ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
JUST DRIVING ALONG @ 20MPH THE TRANSMISSION STARTED TO HESITATE THEN START SLIPPING. LUCKY ENOUGH TO LIMP HOME 1 MILE AWAY FROM WHERE IT STARTED. TRANSMISSION FLUID WAS POURING OUT OF THE RADIATOR OVERFLOW CONTAINER. I HAD NO TRANSMISSION FLUID SHOWING ON DIPSTICK. ENGINE OIL WAS NORMAL. I REPLACED THE RADIATOR AS I SAW COUNTLESS PEOPLE ONLINE WITH SAME ISSUE. THE TRANS LINE INSIDE THE RADIATOR RUPTURED PUTTING INTO CIRCULATION THE COOLANT/TRANS FLUID MIXTURE THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE AND HEATER CORE. FORTUNATELY THIS TRANS FLUID MIXTURE WAS NOT BEING SUCKED BACK INTO THE TRANSMISSION, PURELY A MIRACLE IN THIS CASE. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS A FAULT IN ENGINEERING, AND NOT "IF" THIS WILL HAPPEN TO YOUR VEHICLE IS A MATTER OF WHEN. THIS CAR HAS 140K ON IT AND HAS BEEN METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED, NO REASON FOR THIS FAILURE HAVE HAD CARS WITH 300K NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL AIR BAG LAST SPRING TOOK ABOUT 5 OR 6 MONTHS BEFORE MY DEALERSHIP IN DUBUQUE IOWA EVEN GOT THEM IN. I CALLED A COUPLE TIMES SINCE THIS WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE ME AND MY FAMILY AROUND ON TRIPS AND SO FOURTH. STILL GOT A RESPONSE THAT HONDA CREATED THE RECALL WITH NUMEROUS COMPANIES, AND CAN'T PRODUCE ALL THESE AIRBAGS. MAYBE THEY SHOULD OF THOUGHT OF THAT B4 THE RECALL.... SO I THINK HONDA OR SOMEONE SHOULD OF PAID ME COMPENSATION FOR DRIVING A VEHICLE AROUND THAT WASN'T SAFE AT ALL IF I WAS INVOLVED IN A CRASH IN SOME WAY? I DON'T KNOW EXACT DATE THE FIRST AIRBAG RECALL CAME OUT

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA IN JULY 2016 STATING THAT MY PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED DUE TO A FAULTY INFLATOR. THE LETTER STATES THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS "WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016." WE ARE NOW INTO THE THIRD WEEK OF JANUARY 2017, AND WHEN I SPOKE WITH HONDA LAST WEEK I WAS TOLD THAT PARTS WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRANSPORT PASSENGERS FOR 6 MONTHS AND HONDA COULD GIVE ME NO ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN I CAN EXPECT MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL. FRONT PASSENGER SEAT HAS BEEN UNUSABLE SINCE A JULY, 2016 NOTICE FROM HONDA STATING THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SHOULD NOT BE OCCUPIED UNTIL THE AIRBAG HAS BEEN REPLACED. PLANET HONDA IN LAKEWOOD COLORADO ORDERED BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS ON 7/6/16 SINCE I HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED FROM HONDA THAT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I FINALLY RECEIVED NOTICE FROM THE DEALER THAT PARTS WERE IN AND THE DEALER INSTALLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE BAG ON 9/17/16, BUT INFORMED ME THAT THE PASSENGER-SIDE AIRBAG HAD NOT ARRIVED, BUT STILL ON ORDER. I HAVE CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TWO TIMES, AND BEEN INFORMED THAT THE PARTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. THIS DELAY IS CAUSING GREAT INCONVENIENCE IN MY FAMILY BECAUSE OF LACK OF PASSENGER CAPACITY. I GET THE FEELING THAT HONDA IS NOT COMPLYING WITH THIS RECALL IN A TIMELY FASHION
