I read and article about the advisory made by the Honda and the U.S. Government to "do not drive" for the 2001 through 2003 vehicles with Takata inflators that have a high possibility of exploiting and hurling shrapnel in a crash.

I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT CHANNEL BUT HERE GOES... I'VE CALLED TO GET MY RECALL FIXED AND NOBODY EVER WANTS TO CALL ME BACK TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT EVEN. I TRIED THE NUMBER WHERE YOU TEXT THE RECALL COORDINATORS? BUT THEY REPLIED THE NEXT DAY AND ONLY WAITED 10 MINS. POHANKA HONDA OF SALISBURY DOESN'T SEEM TO WANT TO SCHEDULE THIS RECALL. I TRIED WITH THEM A FEW YEARS AGO BUT AGAIN NO RESPONSE. WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO TO GET THE COMMON COURTESY OF A CALLBACK OR SOMETHING AS SIMPLE AS MAKING AN APPOINTMENT? THIS IS WHY I QUIT ATTEMPTING TO GET THIS RECALL FIXED SOME YEARS AGO, BECAUSE IT WAS NEVER A PRIORITY APPARENTLY. NOW THAT I'M ATTEMPTING TO SELL THE VEHICLE I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO BE IGNORED BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT POHANKA, SO THAT I CAN MOVE ON. I'M VERY DISPLEASED WITH BEING PLACATED ABOUT "PARTS AVAILABILITY" OR "JUST WAIT FOR A CALL BACK" WHEN WAITING FOR A COURTEOUS REPLY IS ALL I NEED. BOTTOM LINE: I CAN'T GET MY AIRBAG RECALL DONE AT POHANKA HONDA OF SALISBURY IF THEY WON'T EVER REACH BACK OUT TO ME. I ATTEMPTED A FOLLOWUP QUESTION TOADAY AND WAS GIVEN A RUNAROUND PHONE NUMBER. WHY WOULD I GIVE YOU ALL OF MY VIN AND RECALL NUMBERS AND THEN HEAR NOTHING AGAIN? I'M EXTRAORDINARILY UPSET ABOUT BEING RELEGATED TO THE BACK OF THE LIST EVERY TIME. I STRONGLY FEEL THAT NOBODY I'VE SPOKEN TO GIVES A [XXX] ABOUT GETTING THIS DONE BECAUSE I'M THE ONLY ONE TRYING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. HOPING THIS ACTUALLY MERITS A RESPONSE BECAUSE I'M ABOUT TO WASH MY HANDS OF THIS WHOLE RECALL DUE TO THE ABYSMAL HANDLING OF SUCH A SIMPLE TASK. THEN IT CAN BE A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE NEW OWNER BECAUSE THESE DEALERS DON'T REALLY WANT TO DO ANY "FREE" WORK IT SEEMS. DISAPPOINTED, UPSET AND WOULD RATHER DRIVE A DEATHTRAP THAN DEAL WITH ANY OF THESE USELESS REPRESENTATIVES.

MY CAR HAS BEEN REPEATEDLY RECALL OVER RECENT YEARS. NOW I HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER RECALL TO REPAIR THE SAME UNIT THAT RECALLED AND REPAIRED BARELY A MONTH AGO. HONDA IS ENDANGERING ITS CUSTOMERS WITH REPEATED FAILED RECALLS AND SHOULD BE SANCTIONED SEVERELY.

MY AIRBAG WAS REPLACED LAST YEAR. AND NOW IT WILL NOT PASS MANDATORY STATE INSPECTIONS DUE TO A ABS LIGHT THAT WILL NOT GO OFF. I'VE HAD MANY PEOPLE TRY AND FIGURE IT OUT? YET THE AIR BAG HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT. I NEED THIS FIXED IMMEDIATELY THE STATE OF VIRGINIA WILL NOT PASS THE AIR BAG LIGHT BEING ON UNKNOWN..

IN THE PAST I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL DETAILING AN AIRBAG INFLATOR SAFETY RECALL CONTAINING MY CAR'S VIN NUMBER. WHEN I CALLED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER TO GET IT REPLACED, THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT ACTUALLY AFFECTED IN THE RECALL AND A REPLACEMENT WOULD NOT BE NEEDED. I RECEIVED ANOTHER NOTICE IN THE MAIL AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THIS TIME THEY CONFIRMED THAT IN FACT MY CAR NEEDS REPLACEMENTS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR THINKING IT WAS SAFE, BASED ON THE HONDA DEALERSHIP'S WORD, WHEN IN FACT IT HAS NOT BEEN SAFE TO DRIVE.

NOT INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENT. BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND TITLE WAS SALVAGED. PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED PRIOR TO PURCHASE. I TOOK THE CAR INTO HOBDA TO SEE ABOUT THIS RECALL AND WANTED THEM TO REOLACE THE AIRBAGS. THEY DID JOT DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY WERE DEPLOYED ALREADY.
