Takata recall I was notified that my vehicle had a recall on the driver side airbag and not to drive it. I do not believe Honda will be able to remedy this defect within a reasonable amount of time. I was told the parts may be avaliable in late summer of 2016. They have offered a rental, without the optional insurance coverage, but I would prefer if they offered a buy back on the vehicle.

Takata recall Honda is telling me that it may be a month or more before they will replace the defective part. They verified that my VIN number shows my car is one of the recalled vehicles. I asked about a replacement car, and they said I would have to rent a car on my own, for a month or more, fill out a request and they might cover some of the cost. I work approx. 18 miles from home. I depend on my car. Eight deaths and over 100 injuries have occurred in the us. They won't even return my call for a business day or two. I have missed work today. I was in an accident in 2011, the other driver was completely at fault, and my airbags deployed, and my car was totaled. That is when I bought my present car. I am afraid to drive my car without the repair, and I can't afford to rent a car for over a month so I can continue to work. Is there any chance the NHTSA will allow the dealership to deactivate the airbags in my car until they can be repaired" can they be deactivated" I would rather drive without airbags, and using safety belts, than with the threat of being hit by shrapnel from my airbag.

I hydroplaned, going 10 mph under the speed limit, hit every quarter panel along the guardrail (including a head-on collision with the guard rail), and out of 10 airbags, not one deployed. I felt like I was bounced around the car like a rag doll (yes, I was wearing my seatbelt). Car was totaled, I sustained shoulder, neck, and wrist injuries, but was shocked that airbags did not deploy.

The car in front stopped on the highway because of another driver swerving to exit. This caused my car to rear-end the vehicle that was stopped directly in front of me. My car suffered severe damage to the front end. The airbags did not deploy!! upon looking at the damage after the accident, you could see that both airbag sensors were physically pushed back into the engine compartment. They were both clearly hit, yet neither deployed the airbags. Thankfully no one was injured. I was extremely lucky. With that said, what good are airbags if they don't deploy" especially in a severe front-end collision" makes no sense to me.
