I received a recall notice back in March about defective airbags. I have since been trying to get the problem resolved but the dealer continues to say they don't have the part. I'm currently pregnant with a 3 year old and we are riding around in a car with a recall notice that says I could potentially die if the airbags inflate. I was told back in March that Acura would possibly pay for us a rental but the chance that my car was affected was low. I'm just surprised and frustrated that this issue hasn't been resolved and it's going on 6 months.

Takata recall in June 2016 I received a recall notice from Acura regarding the above vehicle. Each month I have called about the air bag recall and I have been informed that the recall replacement parts are not available. Why are they dragging their feet on a potential deadly and libelous defect?

Takata recall in March of 2016 I received notice of this recall on my vehicle. The notice indicated that parts for the recall would be available in summer of this year. As it is now August 10, 2016 and I have had received no further communication, I called the manufacturer for an update. I was told that parts are still not available and that they are anticipated in parts to be available in September - no firm date. All the passengers in my vehicle are at risk of serious injury or death due to this faulty product and will remain so until this issue is corrected. Five months of no update and no correction to the issue is unacceptable. I hold the us government and Acura responsible for the delays in correcting this dangerous, unsafe condition and any and all damages, liabilities and claims that may arise from this unacceptable delay. A copy of this communique is being provided to my attorney.

Takata recall: I received the recall notice in early April 2016. I brought my car to gillman Acura dealer at 18002 I-45 North, houston, tx 77090 on April 15 and picked up a loaner car on April 16, 2016. I waited over 5 weeks and stopped by the dealer (by early June 2016). I was told by the dealer that part was not available by the time and that the dealer would call and send me a letter when it becomes available for repair. It has been over 3 months now and I still have not received any calls or letters from Acura dealer. I understand that Acura does give me a loaner car. However, I am the only one who can drive the loaner car due to Acura insurance rules while my wife and I share the Acura every day. This has given my wife and me a lot of problems in the past 3 months. What should I do so that I can get my car fixed soon? any help will be greatly appreciated.

Takata recall. I live in North Carolina. The Acura TL is kept at a home I own in woodridge, il. I received a notice from Acura in March 2016 that the airbag needed to be replaced. I contacted mcgrath Acura of westmont where I purchased the car to have the airbag replaced. The appointment date that mcgrath gave me was Tuesday May 10, 2016. On Saturday May 7 my wife and I flew from charlotte. Nc to midway, il specifically to take the Acura to mcgrath for the recall repair to be carried out tomorrow. This morning I received a reminder notice from mcgrath that my appointment time was scheduled for tomorrow at 8:00 am. I contacted mcgrath by phone and I'm now told by mcgrath that they do not have the parts to do replaced the airbag. 1). nobody from mcgrath contacted me to tell me that they do not have the replacement parts for the airbag. 2). today I receive an email from mcgrath telling me that the work is still scheduled for tomorrow even though they do not have the parts. 3). I'm very upset. I have incurred costs to fly from North Carolina to Illinois specifically to have the airbag replaced. I have invested time and effort on this matter and my time and effort has been completely wasted. 4). how do I go about getting reimbursed for my time and costs. Please advise.
