I got a notice that both airbags on my car were faulty and that Honda would fix them for free. The parts didn't come in for 3 or 4 months. I was commuting 400 miles a week for work and asked them to provide a rental car for me until then. They would furnish the car but I was responsible for the insurance on it. They told me to get it insured by my own personal auto insurance company. My insurance company told me they would not do that and neither would any other. Since I could not afford to pay the $20 a day for the rental car insurance I had to just take my chances of serious injury or even death in the event of my airbags going off. My 82 year old mother rode in that car to her doctor's appointments and the grocery. We both have copd and I have a pacemaker. The stress the situation caused was staggering and certainly not good for either of us. What good did it do for Honda to inform me of the recall if they couldn't fix it right away and would not pay the insurance so I could get a rental car? I guess the sick and elderly don't matter to a big company like Honda.

Takata recall. Dealer said the fix would occur during the summer; so far nothing. I worry every time I drive that I could be killed by a safety device.

Takata recall our family vehicle had a safety recall on front driver and passenger's air bags. We received a loaner car from university Honda dealership in davis, ca, on 07.20.2016 until our vehicle was fixed. We dropped our vehicle at the dealership on 07.30.2016 and dealer, on two occasions, verbally and in writing, confirmed that both air bags would be fixed that day. However, they only corrected the driver's side air bag and requested we return the loaner car as our vehicle, according to the dealer, was now safe to drive. We explained that this is our family car and we utilize the front passenger seat but to no avail. We are now driving our vehicle which is unsafe for the front seat passenger and possibly other occupants in case the passenger's air bag deploys. I have been in contact with Honda usa since 07.30.2016. It took them almost five weeks to respond to my claim that they initially stated would take them only a week to reply. They denied my claim, 04845132, stating that I do not need to utilize the front passenger seat based on the size of my family. This is a very weak excuse on their part as the vehicle I purchased was and is intended to be utilized by five people not four. It seems Honda is choosing profits over passenger safety. What I would like Honda to do is offer me a free rental until my vehicle is fully safe for all passengers.

This morning (Aug 6, 2016), myself and my dad met with an accident and was driving Honda Insight 2011 LX model. Note that my dad was sitting in the front passenger seat. Let me describe the accident. I was about to park my car in front of sprouts grocery store in the parking available spot just facing sprouts. So you can imagine that I was about to park my car and the speed was around 5mph. All of a sudden, I could feel my Insight engine experiencing sudden acceleration automatically and then I was trying to apply the leg brake to make sure it doesn't speed up. Suddenly, the Insight started speeding up and didn't stop even after slamming on the brake and it jumped on the parking curb and finally hit the concrete pillar in front of sprouts resulting in deploying the driver air-bag and the passenger air-bags. My windshield developed a deep crack and I believe my car is going to be totalled. With that, it didn't stop, after hitting so hard the concrete wall, remember the car was still in drive mode and not in reverse mode, all of a sudden, the car started moving backwards and even didn't stop after slamming on the leg brake. Then I came out of the shock and applied my hand brake and turn off the ignition to stop the car moving backwards. Luckily, this crash didn't cause any bodily injury to any third parties but I had some bruises on my right arm developed due to some metal pieces from the takata air-bag.

We would like to understand why we could not extend the loaner until all air bags are fixed as our vehicle is not safe for all passengers.

"takata recall" I was notified in March about this recall and that the parts would be available in late spring early summer. Now I see it will be late summer early fall. I want Honda to pay for a rental car for me until this is fixed. I feel like I'm putting my life in jeopardy as well as my passengers every time I get behind the wheel. How long do you expect people to drive around with this defect without offering some remedy?
