MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN AIRBAG RECALL 14V-349 DATED JULY 21, 2014. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE, THE DEALER CANNOT ORDER PARTS BECAUSE HONDA HASN'T RELEASED A REPLACEMENT PART NUMBER, THE DEALER WILL NOT DISCONNECT MY AIRBAGS (TOYOTA RECOMMENDS THIS SHORT-TERM PROCEDURE UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE), AND AMERICAN HONDA (1-800-999-1009, [XXX] @ [XXX]) WILL NOT RETURN MY CALLS. I AM MOVING TO FLORIDA NOV 12, AND DO NOT HAVE A CAR TO DRIVE. IS HONDA REQUIRED TO COMPLETE RECALLS WITHIN A DESIGNATED PERIOD, OR CAN THEY EXTEND REPAIRING VEHICLES INDEFINITELY UNTIL THEY EVENTUALLY RUST AWAY?

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RIGHT FORM BUT I HAVE A COMPLAINT WITH HONDA. I HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR AND THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS MANUFACTURED TO REMEDY THE RECALL. THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY OTHER SOLUTION. I CALLED THE HONDA RECALL DEPARTMENT AND MY CASE MANAGER NEVER GOT BACK TO ME; THEY HAD TOLD ME IT WAS GOING TO BE 24-48 HOURS UNTIL THEY GOT BACK TO ME AND SHE NEVER HAS GOTTEN BACK TO ME. I WANT A LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MY CAR CAN BE FIXED. THEY DID NOT AUTHORIZE THIS. I TOLD [XXX] ON THE PHONE THAT I WAS GOING TO START RECORDING THE CONVERSATION TO MAKE SURE I HAD EVERYTHING CORRECT AND SHE SAID "YOU DO NOT HAVE MY PERMISSION TO RECORD THIS CALL" AND HUNG UP. IF THE REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR MY CAR, I WANT A CAR IN THE INTERIM UNTIL MY VEHICLE CAN BE FIXED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THIS DEFECTIVE PART IS IN MY VEHICLE. I CHECKED WITH AMERICAN HONDA. THIS DEFECT HAS CAUSED DEATHS AND SERIOUS INJURIES TO DRIVERS WHEN AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED. HONDA CANNOT REPLACE IT AT THIS TIME AND IT CAN CAUSE ME SERIOUS INJURY AND ACCIDENTS. PLEASE HAVE HONDA CHANGE THIS IMMEDIATELY OR REMOVE AIR BAG AND REPLACE WITH A NEW ONE IMMEDIATELY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AT 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN THE RIGHT REAR WHEEL BRAKE CYLINDER BLEW OUT CAUSING A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID AND CONCOMITANT LOSS OF BRAKES. I HAD TO COAST TO A STOP USING THE HAND BRAKE TO COME TO A FINAL STOP. FORTUNATELY THERE WERE NO CARS IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT IN ADDITION TO THE BLOWN BRAKE CYLINDER THE RIGHT REAR FEED BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HAD I BEEN TRAVELING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC A COLLISION WOULD HAVE OCCURRED POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS BODILY INJURY. *TR

WE SAW A NEWS REPORT ABOUT THE AIR BAG RECALLS FOR THESE VEHICLES IN LATE SUMMER LAST YEAR. WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHEN OUR SRS LIGHT CAME ON TO SEE IF OUR VEHICLE WAS PART OF THE TAKATA-BRAND AIRBAG RECALL. WHEN WE CALLED, THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE RESET THE SRS COMPUTER. WE NEVER RECEIVED ANY PAPERWORK STATING THERE EVER WAS SUCH A RECALL. WHILE OUT RUNNING ERRANDS ON 01/31/2015 WE HEARD A NEWS REPORT ABOUT A PRIOR RECALL FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAGS DID NOT WORK PROPERLY. OUR SRS LIGHT IS BACK ON AFTER A COUPLE OF COMPUTER RESETS WITHOUT A CODE EVER PULLING UP ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE GOT HOME WE DECIDED TO DO A RECALL CHECK BY VIN ON HONDA'S WEBSITE. THE VEHICLE HAS INCOMPLETE RECALL FROM 06/19/2014. THE CALL NUMBER IS 14V-351. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO SAFETY: 1. FOR NOT BEING NOTIFIED OF A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS RECALL, 2.FOR BEING LIED TO ABOUT THE RECALL WHEN CALLING THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WE ARE GOING TO TRY GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH A COPY OF THE ONLINE SEARCH USING THEIR SYSTEM ON MONDAY 02/02/2015. HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET SOME ANSWERS, BUT OUR PRIOR EXPERIENCE WITH THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED AND CAR DIED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 55 MPH WITH NO WARNING. WAS IN SLOW LANE AND ABLE TO GET ONTO SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT. TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THE AIRBAG/ SRS LIGHT WENT OFF AND HONDA DEALER SAID IT WAS THE SEATBELTS AND REQUIRED A $530 REPAIR. I AM NOT SURE WHY THIS IS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY FOR SAFETY. *TR

MY WINDOWS SPORADICALLY GET STUCK OPEN, VERY DIFFICULT DRIVING WHEN THE ELEMENTS OF THE WEATHER OR NOT GOOD. I'VE HAD TO DRIVE WITH THE RAIN DRIVING THROUGH MY WINDOW. TRYING TO HOLD A PLASTIC BAG IN PLACE SO I DID NOT GET WET.

MY SEATBELT/SRS LIGHT WENT CAME ON AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE HONDA DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE SRS SENSOR BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. TO ME IT SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HONDA DOES NOT COVER THE SRS SENSOR IN THE BUCKLE. WITH THIS SENSOR GOING BAD IT COULD CAUSE AN ISSUE WITH THE AIRBAG. MY HONDA HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS ON THE AIRBAG BUT NOTHING ON THE SENSOR. I BELIEVER HONDA SHOULD COVER THIS AS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I REAR ENDED A VEHICLE THAT CAME TO A SUDDEN COMPLETE STOP, I WAS GOING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, (THE ROADWAY WAS 45 BUT I HAD STARTED TO SLOW AS I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES). THE COLLISION WAS FULL FRONTAL IMPACT AND MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL DESPITE HAVING A SEAT BELT ON. I AM HAVING A MECHANIC INVESTIGATE WHY MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY, BUT IT CONCERNS ME AS I WAS INJURED IN THE CRASH. I WENT TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM AND I HAVE WHIP LASH, MUSCLE SPASMS AND MUSCLE TENSION IN MY NECK AND BACK. I FEEL THAT THESE INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED. MY LAWYER ADVISED ME TO FILE A COMPLAINT HERE AS WELL AS WITH HONDA ABOUT THIS INCIDENT. *TR

WENT TO LEAVE WALMART AROUND 7 PM. CAR WOULDN'T MOVE...CVT TRANS, HYBRID.. *TR

MY HONDA CIVIC SUDDENLY WENT DEAD WITH NO INDICATION OF FAILURE. THE TRANSMISSION WENT DEAD AND THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THAT IT WAS A INCORRECT GEARBOX RATIO. IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH TRANSMISSION FAILURE AND I FEEL THAT I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

THE PAINT HAS BEEN FADING AND PEELING SINCE ABOUT JANUARY OF 2014. CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN CARE OF AND WASHED CLEANED REGULARLY (BUT NOT EXCESSIVELY) ITS WHOLE LIFE AND THE PAINT SHOULD NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR HONDA'S MADE AROUND THIS TIME AND HONDA SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND PAY TO HAVE IT PAINTED. IT IS NOT FAIR TO CAR OWNERS WHO DO NOT HAVE THE RESALE VALUE THE CAR IS WORTH BECAUSE OF A SIMPLE COSMETIC ISSUE LIKE THIS.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOING HOT SINCE NOVEMBER 2013. I HAVE REPLACED THE WATER PUMP, RADIATOR, FAN SWITCHES, HEAD GASKET, VALVE GASKET SEAL/COVER, ENGINE. WHEN I'M SITTING IDLE IN TRAFFIC FOR A WHILE IT WILL RUN HOT OR AT LEAST APPEAR TO RUN HOT BECAUSE THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WILL GO ALL THE WAY TO HOT. I HAVE READ A FEW BLOGS AND SPOKEN TO A HONDA SPECIALIST AND HE CONFIRMED WHAT I READ ABOUT CIVICS RANGING FROM 2001 TO 2004 ARE NOTORIOUS FOR RUNNING HOT. I WAS TOLD THAT YOU HAVE TO REPLACE EVERYTHING LIKE THE WATER PUMP OR RADIATOR AS WELL AS THE HEAD GASKET AT THE SAME TIME TO STOP THIS FROM REOCCURRING. I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TRYING TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. I JUST WANT HONDA TO BE TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY BECAUSE IT IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO AND A RECALL SHOULD BE CREATED. THESE ARE SOME OF THE BLOGS I HAVE READ. THANK YOU.

WHILE DRIVING AROUND A BEND, THE ENTIRE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP. IT REQUIRED THAT I STOP, TURN OFF MY VEHICLE AND TURN IT BACK ON TO CORRECT. THIS HAPPENED A SECOND TIME A MONTH LATER AND THE KEY IS NOW STUCK IN THE ON POSITION IN THE IGNITION AND WILL NOT TURN ON OR TURN OFF. *TR

HELLO, THE VEHICLE PASSING THROUGH CULVERT AND HIT THE CROSSBAR WITH THE ROAD, AND THE AIRBAG AUTOMATICALLY OPENED, THE BLOW WAS SLIGHTLY BELOW AND NOTHING DRASTIC, THE CAR HAS NEVER BEEN NOR EVER COLLIDED HEAD BACK. I THINK THE AIRBAGS ARE FAULTY, WHAT SHOULD I DO. *TR

I WAS DRIVING SOUTH BOUND ON THE 215 SHORTLY BEFORE THE EXIT, MILLS, THERE WAS A CONE LAYING ON ITS SIDE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD THAT I WAS NOT ABLE TO SEE FROM A DISTANCE BECAUSE THE COLOR OF THE CONE WAS FACING FORWARD . BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO REALIZE WHAT IT WAS, I COULD NOT AVOID IT AND GO TO ANOTHER LANE BECAUSE I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO CARS, WHICH PROBABLY WOULD HAVE CAUSED MUCH MORE DAMAGE THEN THERE IS IF I ATTEMPTED TO DO SO. AS A RESULT THE CONE CRACKED MY FRONT BUMPER ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IN THE SHAPE OF A V, THERE WAS A LITTLE STEAM COMING FROM MY ENGINE AND THERE SEEMS TO BE SOME KIND OF LEAK NOW, AS WELL AS SOME BLACK RUBBER TYPE THING THAT LOOKS LIKE ITS SUPPOSED TO BE OVER THE TIRE WAS DRAGGING. *TR

THE PEELING METAL PLATING ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES CAUSES CUTS TO FINGERS AND HANDS. THEY RANGE FROM SEVERE PAPER CUTS TO DEEP FINGER CUTS. THE CHROME PLATING ON THE INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES PEEL AND CREATE SHARP EDGES THAT CUT AND DRAW BLOOD. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE DOOR IS OPENED. OUR WHOLE FAMILY HAD CUTS ESPECIALLY MY DAUGHTER.

AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON. SEVERAL RECALLS FOR MY CAR. HONDA REFUSES TO FIX SAYING I'M NOT AFFECTED. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 96,000 MILES. CAR NOW HAS 130,353 MILES AND THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS NOW ON. APPARENTLY HONDA DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE CLEAR COAT ON THE PAINT JOB BEGAN CRACKING AND PEELING ON THE BUMPERS AND HOOD. *TR

SRS LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. I HAVE RESET IT A NUMBER OF TIMES BUT IT WILL GO ON AGAIN AFTER A FEW DAYS OR WEEKS. THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I AM SURPRISED THAT THIS IS NOT A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. FROM REVIEWING THE COMPLAINTS, THE DEALERS ANSWERS OR GUESSES AS TO WHAT'S WRONG ARE TOO NUMEROUS TO LIST HERE AND THE COST JUST TO INVESTIGATE IS JUST TOO HIGH. THERE IS SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY WRONG WITH THIS SYSTEM AND HONDA NEEDS TO SERIOUSLY ADDRESS THIS ISSUE.

THE SUPPLEMENTAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM (SRS) LIGHT CAME ON, READ THE CODE AND WAS A 7-2 CODE MEANING THAT THE AIR BAG OR SRS MODULE HAD AN INTERNAL FAILURE. THIS CAN BE CAUSED BY A VOLTAGE DEFICIENCY PROBLEM SO I HAD MY CHARGING SYSTEM CHECKED AND EVERYTHING WAS IN SPECIFICATION RANGE. CONTACTED HONDA AS I HAVE READ THAT THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THESE MODULES TO A 10 YEAR/ 150,000 MILE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF SO MANY FAILURES. THEY OF COURSE SAID THAT WAS ONLY ON SELECT MODELS. I AM NOW LOOKING INTO HAVING THE MODULE REPAIRED OR REPLACED AS THE AIRBAGS WILL FAIL TO WORK IN A COLLISION DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT YOU CAN READILY FIND ONLINE ABOUT THESE MODULES FAILING. HONDA SHOULD HAVE TO BE REQUIRED TO FIX THESE IRREGARDLESS OF MILEAGE OR AGE. *TR

THE DRIVER SEAT STARTED ROCKING AS YOU DRIVE THE CAR. DEALER STATED THAT THE BUSHINGS ARE WORN OUT AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. HONDA IS NOT OFFERING ANY ASSISTANCE OR RECALL ON THIS KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE 2001 - 2003 VEHICLES. *TR

I LIVE ON A MAIN ROAD, SO I WAS THANKFUL THAT THERE WAS NO HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME, THAT IT LUCKILY WAS MINOR, AND NO ONE WAS INJURED, HOWEVER, THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE FATALITY. AS I WAS DRIVING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND TURNING RIGHT OUT ONTO THE ROAD, THE STEERING WHEEL STUCK IN THE TURNING RIGHT POSITION AND BOTH STEERING AND BRAKES FAILED TO WORK CAUSING ME TO CRASH INTO A PARKED CAR. I AM NOT SURE WHY THE STEERING AND BRAKES BOTH FAILED LIKE THIS? STRANGELY, MY CAR WAS DRIVING FINE AFTER THE INCIDENT AS THE POLICE OFFICER PULLED IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT IS SMASHED UP AND NEEDS BODY WORK AND POSSIBLY MECHANICAL WORK. I DID HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP, AS I DID NOT TRUST DRIVING IT AFTER THIS HAPPENED, AND I AM NOT SURE I WILL EVER FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. CURRENTLY, MY INSURANCE IS TAKING CARE OF IT, BUT THIS WAS A MALFUNCTION ON HONDA'S PART AND SHOULD BE DEALT WITH BY HONDA ON ALL FRONTS, COSMETICALLY, MECHANICALLY, FINANCIALLY, AND MOST IMPORTANTLY SO THAT THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE OR ME AGAIN. OTHERWISE, THERE IS NO JUSTICE OR PROTECTION FOR THE CONSUMER! THIS COULD HAVE POTENTIALLY BEEN AND COULD BE LIFE THREATENING. *TR

I HAD TAKEN FOR A RECALL ON MY HONDA 2003 CIVIC EX AT MCDAVID HONDA OF IRVING. I RECENTLY HAD A OIL CHANGED AT MCDAVID HONDA OF IRVING. AFTER THE OIL CHANGE, THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE IN MY CAR'S PERFORMANCE. ITS TAKES A LOT TO THROTTLE THE CAR FROM START TO RUN, IF ITS ON INCLINE ROAD. THE GAS MILEAGE HAS GONE DOWN FROM 30MPG TO 27 MPG. WHEN ASKED TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT, THE SERVICE ADVISER SAID "$ 99 FOR DIAGNOSE." WHEN I TOOK THE DELIVERY AFTER THE RECALL WAS DONE, I NOTICED MY AIR BAG LIGHT HAS COME-ON. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISER ABOUT THE LIGHT, HE SAID THE LIGHT WAS ON WHEN I DELIVERED THE CAR TO THEM. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACCIDENT, AND THE LIGHT JUST CAME ON BY ITSELF. THEY TOLD ME, I HAVE TO PAY $99 TO HAVE HONDA TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I TALKED TO AMERICAN HONDA, THEY SAID "AS YOUR WARRANTY HAS FINISHED, AMERICAN HONDA IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY REPAIR AND SERVICES PERFORMED BY ANY AUTHORIZED HONDA DEALERSHIP". *TR
