Takata recall was repaired 2017. Paint peeling more than Honda recall areas. Honda refuses to repaint. 8/2017 9/2017 in motion : driver side sun visor is broken and drops down and blocks my view out of the front window. I can not afford to replace.
The SRS light intermittently comes on display on the dashboard. Honda dealership ran a diagnostic test twice and determined it was a faulty cable reel. The car has never been in a major accident and has never had an airbag deployed. Honda explained that the cable reel is a "bad part", and quoted repair estimates at 700 dollars for part and service. Honda warned that there is a 50 percent chance that the airbag will not deploy in the event of an automobile accident. Honda company refuses to cover the cost and service of replacing the cable reel due to expired warranty for airbag parts (2-year warranty). After much research, it appears that many Honda automobiles (especially Honda Civics manufactured around 2009) are having the same issue. This is a critical safety issue and liability for the company to sell cars and advertise their products as durable, when in fact safety features become faulty after a few years. It is concerning that Honda is selling and marketing products with compromised safety systems that become defective after a couple years of use. I have filed a complaint through Honda, and I would like to have the issue investigated by NHTSA.
I was driving my car in wet conditions when my car skidded onto a curb. My explosives went off in my airbags, however, my air bags failed to deploy. Currently my air bag light is on.

Takata recall. I received a safety recall notice in March 2017 and have contacted Honda of santa monica, 1414 18th street, santa monica, ca 90404-2804, phone (310) 264-4900, to make an appointment to replace the airbag inflator. The dealer has not responded to my repeated requests for an appointment.
Takata recall. I have received notice that the airbag inflator has to be repaired/replaced in my Honda. I will not under any circumstances use any of the Honda dealers/service centers in my area because they all discriminate against the disabled (I am disabled). I have asked Honda to allow me to use my own service station instead. They have refused. This is an important safety issue and Honda's primary concern should be to fix this problem but they seem unwilling to do so in this case. Furthermore, since they have refused to take any action against the dealerships, it is my belief that Honda condones discrimination against the disabled.

Takata recall: As of October of 2016 I have been to pensacola Honda to try and get my recall complete. The first appointment they made me aware that I would have to order a part since the housing was broken, so I did. The 2nd appointment they informed me that the part was still in and I was given incorrect information. It is now April and I have not received any follow ups nor have I gotten my recall taken care of. I am unable to drive my Honda due to fear of the defect and I have a newborn baby so no one could ever ride in the passenger seat with me. I have attempted calling them several times and am always unable to get responses or call backs. So any help at all would be grateful. How can I get Honda to take care of my car"?"
