Takata recall- I took my Honda in for two safety recalls (airbags; 15V-320 and 15V-370) at holman Honda. I received a phone call stating the the airbag light was on and the right airbag impact sensor needed to be replaced for $357. No lights were on when I dropped off the car... I'm concerned about this dealerships practices and charges for free safety recalls. My vehicle still feels unsafe!

We have had the takata airbags replaced by the Honda dealer in bow, nh. However, our airbags are still not functioning as indicated by the airbag light still being on and the diagnositce later run (at our request) by the dealer. The dealer now ways that there is a defect in our seatbelt which is disabling the airbags. We thought the seatbelts were warrantied against defect but the dealer claims it is not. Please assist.

"takata recall" we own 2 Honda involved in the recall. The airbags were replaced on both vehicles. The SRS light is illuminated on both vehicles since the airbag was replaced. Rt. 23 Honda, pompton plains, NJ replaced the airbags. They want $300 for each vehicle to fix this problem that they say is not related to the airbag replacement. We feel this must be related to the replacement. Seems unlikely that 2 vehicles after replacement would have the same problem. I will submit a second form since there are 2 VIN numbers involved. I last spoke to the dealer about this on 4/21/2016.

Takata recalls we have never received anything stating if our vehicle has been recalled or not. Everything I read says it has & we will receive notification. Well when will that happen, when an airbag explodes & hurts someone?

Takata recall. I have recieved mutiple letters concerning my air bag recall have had the care up there and have been told it's fixed, and I still get letters that it hasn't been fixed. Also the passenger air bag light has stayed on multiple times and they said they fixed but yet when I would go no more than 2 miles down the road it would come back on also the dealership I took it to did a multi point inspection and said my parking break was fine but little did they know my parking break doesn't work so how did it operate fine if I know good and well it doesn't. will never do business with Honda again

SRS light on for years. Told it was nothing to worry about. Then Honda says it is a serious safety issue, I have to pay hundreds of dollars for repair. Transmission went out cost over $2500 so far, car still isn't working. Well known problem but Honda is greedy and won't pay to fix their unsafe vehicles. Car overheats when using the heater. Driver seat feels like it is going to move while driving. I will never buy a Honda ever again.

I took my vehicle to change the air bags per notification from Honda. I took the car to val strough Honda dealership in sand city, ca. They changed the passenger air bag per recall, and said they would call me later to schedule the driver's since they did not have parts available. A notification in the mail said that if after 60 days I have not been notified to change the second airbag to file a complaint. So here I am.

I checked the site using my VIN number and it keeps saying recall incomplete. I called the place I bought the car to see about a recall for the airbags and they never got back to me. I would like to know if my car is safe to drive and I don't understand what incomplete recall means. Another site said my car has 2 recalls, but I never received information on this. What do I have to do next to make sure my car is safe to drive?
