A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

I received two notices of the airbag recall for my Honda Fit (2011) and the part was supposed to be available by late summer/fall. I made an appointment online for 8/27/16 only to find out when I got there that my local Honda dealership (Honda of oakland) still did not have the part even though I was able to make an appointment online specifically for the recall. It's been over 90 days and I still have yet to receive notice from my local dealership regarding this recall. Please remedy this situation as soon as possible. I have never had to wait so long (over 4 months) for the part to come for a recall, especially when it involves life/death.

Takata inflators. I received a recall notice in March 2016, and within a day or two contacted my local Honda dealer, mc grath Honda, located at 1411 E main street in St charles, il. They supposedly put me on a waiting list. I have called them 3 times, and even stopped by once to inquire on the status O my vehicle. They have never called me back. Even on my drop by visit, I was not given an answer, just told someone would call me back the next day...did not happen. I have now been waiting over 180 days to get the repair. I have even contacted the Honda dealer schaumburg, il, but have had no better luck with them. If this is such a safety concern, maybe they should concentrate on fixing the cars that are already on the road. Help me get my car fixed. I rely on it to take my handicapped mother to her doctor's appointments in Chicago.

Takata recall it has been over 60 days since first contacting my Honda dealership (automation Honda of valencia) for a repair appointment. They have neither remedied the defect in my vehicle, nor made any attempt to assure my safety of my family. Multiple attempts to call to speak with someone to try and resolve the situation have been in vain.

Takata recall - NHTSA recall 16V-061 - notice sent from Honda automobile division, american Honda motor company, Inc. Regarding safety hazard with front air bag inflator March 2016; we called dch Honda of temecula (dealer) for remedy April 2016 - they are waiting for parts; called Honda 7/13/2016 - they are ordering passenger airbag - driver side is separate - we are in queue; called Honda 9/15/2016 - they are still waiting for parts; we are driving a vehicle that is defective and a safety hazard and need it remedied. Is the Honda dealership obligated to give us a loaner vehicle while we are waiting?

I brought my car in to be repaired and they notified me that it would be an extended time that my car would be out. I explained that I drive uber and that was my main form of income, when I couldn't drive a regular enterprise, I spoke to Honda and did the second option of paying for it upfront and being reimbursed 6-8 weeks after I filed my receipts. This was going on in April-may and it is now September. I am out $1200 and do not know how to get them to reimburse me my money. They have been dragging their feet always requesting more information and wanting more and needing me to explain. This is absolutely ridiculous and I want to take legal action. So tired of being stepped on by the big guy.

Takata inflators. I have called ocean Honda many time to schedule this recall. Service dept. Said parts on order and would be process per vehicle owners requesting repair. I called initially in April 2016 to get in queue; I call back in June 2016 and they said I hadn't called before. Ventura, ca is a high humidity location and thus should be one of the first to get repairs. I've called multiple time since and still "no parts." My daughter drives this car with this potentially lethal flaw. I request NHTSA do something to speed up remediation and assess stiff fines for lack of compliance. Thank you.
