TAKATA RECALL: BASICALLY I HAVE A HUGE ISSUE REPLACING RECALL ITEMS BECAUSE I LIVE IN A REMOTE COMMUNITY WITH ONLY FERRY ACCESS. THE FERRY CROSSING REQUIRES 6 HOURS EACH WAY AND A 60 MILE DRIVE TO ANCHORAGE ONCE WE REACH THE MAINLAND. THE COST IS $460 RT FOR THE FERRY AND 2 DAYS OF PAY, A HOTEL ROOM, FUEL, FOOD AND OVERTIME FOR MY EMPLOYEE WHO TAKES IT TO A DEALERSHIP. I'M ASKING IF THERE IS A WAY TO ALLOW OUR LOCAL MECHANIC TO DO THESE RECALLS??? I HAVE A CAR RENTAL WITH AT LEAST 12 OF THESE RECALLS OUTSTANDING. IT WOULD COST ME AROUND $10,000 TO GET MY "FREE" RECALLS DONE. I WORRY ABOUT MY LIABILITY FOR RENTING THESE VEHICLES OUT TO THE PUBLIC. I WOULD LIKE SOME SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE AS TO HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM.

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT DOOR GLASS SEPARATED FROM ITS FRAMEWORK/BRACKET AND FELL INTO THE DOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING AT THE TIME - MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT I BELIEVE ON THE HIGHWAY. WHILE WE WERE GETTING THE VERY COSTLY REPAIR DONE, ANOTHER WOMAN WAS THERE WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE - I JUST HAPPENED TO OVERHEAR HER - RIGHT AFTER THE MAINTENANCE REP INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD NEVER HEARD OF IT HAPPENING. I AM SUBMITTING IT NOW BECAUSE I REALIZE IF PEOPLE DON'T SPEAK UP, NOTHING WILL BE INVESTIGATED. WE NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE AND WE GAVE ALL THE MAINTENANCE RECORDS TO THE GAL WE SOLD IT TO. IT WAS REPAIRED BY PARK HONDA IN AKRON OHIO AND WE CAN ONLY ESTIMATE THE TIMEFRAME AND THE MILEAGE. IF NEEDED, I COULD TRY TO FIND OLD CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS THAT MIGHT NARROW IT DOWN.

I HEARD ON THE NEWS TODAY AND ALSO FOUND OUT THAT I'M ELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REPAIR AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, OR THAT A TECHNICIAN COULD COME TO ME. I ALSO HAVE RECEIVED TWO CARDS IN THE MAIL, AND I OWN TWO OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VANS, ONE THAT SHOWS UP ON THE RECALL AND ONE THAT DOESN'T. AS PER CBS NEWS " U.S. SAFETY REGULATORS ARE DEMANDING THAT AUTOMAKERS AND TAKATA CORP. EXPAND NATIONWIDE A RECALL OF VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAGS EQUIPPED WITH INFLATORS THAT CAN ERUPT AND SEND METAL FRAGMENTS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. "

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T WANT TO TURN. IT TAKES BETWEEN 5 TO 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO FINALLY TURN SO I HAVE TO LEAVE A KEY IN THE VAN AND NOT TAKE IT OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK. ONCE I TAKE IT OUT I SPEND ANOTHER 5 TO 10 MINUTES TURNING UNTIL IT FINALLY TURNS OVER.
