2008 Honda Civic Complaint Log

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC EQUIPPED WITH WESTLAKE TIRES (NA), SIZE: P205/55/16 (NA). WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THERE WAS A VIBRATION IN THE TIRES. THE CONTACT PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE TIRES AND DETERMINED THAT THE TIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE PURCHASED RECENTLY. THE VEHICLE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 195,000. THE VIN AND TIRE FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT PROVIDED.

SUNVISOR SPLITS APART. WARRANTY EXTENSION 7 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES VIA SERVICE BULLITIN 11-031 DATED 10MAY11. HONDA DID NOT SEND NOTICE TO OWNER. VISOR REPLACED 16JUL10 UNDER ORIGINAL WARRANTY. VEHICLE HAS ONLY 44,000 MILES. REPLACEMENT VISOR HAS AGAIN SPLIT APART AND JUST HANGS DOWN, BLOCKING VISION. HONDA STATES IT WILL NOT REPLACE VISOR AS THE VEHICLE IS MORE THAN 7 YEARS OLD. HONDA USED DEFECTIVE VISORS IN ITS NEW VEHICLES, AND THEN REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE VISORS WITH THE SAME DEFECTIVE PARTS. HONDA SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO REPLACE THE VISORS WITH PARTS THAT ARE NOT DEFECTIVE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER JULY 2016 ABOUT THE RECALL. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, PERFORMANCE KINGS HONDA AND WAS TOLD I WAS "ON THE LIST." I CALLED BACK TODAY, 11/11/16, AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PART TO FIX IT AND WOULDN'T HAVE IT UNTIL JUNE 2017. I LOOK ON YOUR WEBSITE AND SEE THAT ALL THESE RECALLS ARE BEING FIXED...WHY IS IT THAT PERFORMANCE KINGS HONDA WILL NOT HAVE THE PART IN UNTIL 2017? THAT IS TOO LONG TO WAIT. I HAVE TO DRIVE CLIENTS AS PART OF MY JOB AND AM RISKING THE SAFETY OF OTHERS AND MYSELF.

I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE SUN VISOR/AIRBAGS ON MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC REPLACED 3 TIMES BECAUSE SOMETHING KEEPS POPPING IN THEM. HONDA REPLACED THE FIRST 3 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY. THE FOURTH TIME IT POPPED, HONDA SAID THAT THEY WERE OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THEM FOR FREE. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD STILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENTS, AS THEY KEEP REPLACING THE SUN VISORS WITH THE SAME OLD CRAPPY ONES THAT BREAK WITHIN 2 YEARS. HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET HONDA TO TAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR KNOWINGLY REPLACING THE PARTS, WITH PARTS THEY KNOW ARE DEFECTIVE.

TAKATA RECALL - THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND TERRIFIED THAT I WILL GET IN AN ACCIDENT AND MY AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY. I SHOULD FEEL SAFE BECAUSE OF MY AIRBAGS BUT INSTEAD I FEEL FEAR. I KEPT MY CAR IN FLORIDA FROM 2008-2012 AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE HEAT MAY MAKE MY VEHICLE MORE VULNERABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO GET THIS RESOLVED AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE SO THAT I CAN FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND HAVING PASSENGERS WITH ME. THANK YOU. *TR

THE HEADRESTS ARE DESIGNED TOO FAR FORWARD, CAUSING NECK, BACK AND SHOULDER STRAIN TO ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT SEATS FOR EXTENDED PERIODS.

TAKATA RECALL I CALLED THE HONDA DEALERSHIP AT CENTRAL AVENUE IN ALBANY NY THINKING THEY COULD ADDRESS THE DASHBOARD LIGHT INDICATING A MALFUNCTION WITH THE AIRBAG KNOWING IN THE PAST THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THIS YET THEY REPORTED THEY CANT HELP ME OTHER THAN ME PURCHASING THE PART. THIS IS A GREAT DILEMMA FOR ME CONSIDERING I DONT HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS AND MY CAR WONT PASS INSPECTION AS LONG AS THIS LIGHT IS ON; THE CURRENT STICKER EXPIRES IN THREE DAYS!

BOUGHT THE CAR 2 DAYS AGO. DID TEST DRIVE IT WITH NO NOTABLE ISSUES. I DID NOT TAKE IT ON THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH THE AREA AND THE SALESMAN INSISTED NOT TO GO ON THE HIGHWAY DUE TO ROAD CONSTRUCTION OUTSIDE THE DEALERSHIP. SO ON THE WAY HOME I DID TAKE THE HIGHWAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP FOLLOWING MY HUSBAND OUT OF THE AREA UNTIL I GOT TO FAMILIAR TERRITORY. THEN HE GOT BEHIND ME. WELL WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I FELT THE CAR SWAYING SIDE TO SIDE HAVING TROUBLE STAYING BETWEEN THE LINES. DIDN'T FEEL RIGHT AND WHEN I WOULD HIT A BUMP THE BACK END OF THE CAR MOVED ALL OVER THE PLACE. WELL WHEN MY HUSBAND AND I GOT HOME I MENTIONED IT TO HIM AND HE SAID WHEN HE WAS BEHIND ME HE NOTICED THE RIGHT BACK OF THE CAR WAS BOUNCING UP AND DOWN. WITH THAT SAID I HAVE A 16 MONTH OLD GRANDSON THAT I INTEND TO HAVE IN MY CAR ON OCCASION AND IT'S SCARY TO THINK THAT MY CAR MAY NOT BE SAFE FOR THE ROAD AND/OR PUT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE IN DANGER. THE SALESMAN SHOWED ME THE CARFAX REPORT AND SERVICES THAT WERE DONE ON THE CAR. BUT DID NOT DISCLOSED ANYTHING OF WHAT I AM EXPERIENCING WITH THE VEHICLE

ENGINE BLOCK CRACKED; HONDA WON'T MAKE GOOD EVEN THOUGH THEY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 2018! NEVER NOTIFIED US; WE HAD TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC AND HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET OVER $3100. SO FAR. WAS TOLD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE FREE IF WE TOWED TO HOND DEALER/SERVICE DEPT. WHO KNEW. OF COURSE WE WOULD HAVE HAD WE KNOWN. DO THEY THINK WE WANTED TO PAY$ 3100????

TAKATA RECALL EFFORTS ARE NOT BEING COMPLETED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE RECALL DATE FOR MY VEHICLE (MAY 23, 2016) WAS ALMOST FOUR MONTHS AGO AND I'M STILL TOLD THAT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE, YET STILL HAVE TO DRIVE AROUND IN A VEHICLE THAT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

YOUR VIDEO LOOKS LIKE BOTH AIRBAGS ARE DEFECTIVE. MY RECALL LETTER ONLY SAID PASSENGERS SIDE? WHICH IS IT? WHY DONT YOU SUPPLY A RENT A CAR? I HAVE TO DRIVE MY GRANDCHILDREN TO SCHOOL, WHAT ABOUT THIER SAFETY IN BACK SEAT?

TAKATA RECALL - WE REACHED OUT TO GROSSINGER HONDA (6600 N WESTERN AVE, CHICAGO, IL 60645) REGARDING THE RECALL IN SEPTEMBER OF 2016. THEY SAID THEY WERE ORDERING THE PARTS AND WOULD REACH OUT WHEN THEY ARRIVED. THIS DEALERSHIP NEVER ORDERED THE PARTS NOR DID THEY REACH OUT. WE CALLED A SECOND TIME (IN NOVEMBER 2016) AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING - THAT THEY NEEDED TO ORDER THE PARTS. THIS DEALERSHIP NEVER ORDERED THE PARTS NOR DID THEY REACH OUT EITHER TIME. I'M WRITING THIS AS A FORMAL COMPLAINT AGAINST GROSSINGER HONDA FOR IGNORING CUSTOMER RECALLS RATHER THAN PERFORMING THE REQUIRED REPAIRS WITHIN THE 60 DAY WINDOW.

PARTS NOT AVAILABLE PER COMPANY. COMPANY ASK US TO CONTACT DEALERS. DEALER ON CONTACTED TRANSFERS TO COMPANY. DIFFICULT TO KEEP ON WASTING TIME ON PHONE FOR HOURS AND LOOSE WORKING HOURS AND SO REDUCED PAY. TIRED. PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE SINCE ALMOST SIX OR MORE MONTHS.

THE SUN VISOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC BROKE SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND TOLD THIS WAS A WARRANTY ITEM AND THE WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED. I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE ABOUT A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CARE IN 2011 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A RECALL ITEM, AND HAD IT REPLACED FOR FREE. I WAS TOLD THE DRIVER'S SIDE VISOR WOULD COST $70.00 PLUS TAX TO FIX. I HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO HAVE IT DONE, SINCE I DON'T INTEND TO KEEP THE CAR MUCH LONGER. IT CREATES A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VISOR WILL NOT STAY UP AGAINST THE ROOF AND INTERFERES WITH LINE OF SIGHT AT STOP SIGNS, ETC. IF I MOVE IT TO THE SIDE WINDOW THEN THE SUN HITS ME DIRECTLY IN THE EYES, CREATING ISSUES ALSO. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE BEEN WAITING SINCE JULY 2016 FOR A LETTER FROM HONDA NOTIFYING ME OF PARTS TO REPAIR AIRBAGS IN MY CAR, NO NOTIFICATION YET AS TO WHEN PARTS FOR A FREE REPAIR WILL BE AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED INADVERTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 121,000.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE AIR BAG RUPTURED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR IT AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DUE TO THE OPEN RECALL AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT WAS DIFFERENT FROM THE DEPLOYMENT VERSUS A RUPTURE; THEREFORE, IT WOULD NOT BE REMEDIED. THE VIN WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 121,000.

TAKATA RECALL: I PURCHASED THIS CAR TO TRANSPORT MYSELF, SPOUSE AND 3 CHILDREN. SINCE BEING NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL, I CAN ONLY TRANSPORT 4 OF US, SINCE BY HONDA'S OWN INSTRUCTIONS ON THE RECALL, "HONDA SUGGESTS YOU SHOULD AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." I REQUESTED A LOANER CAR FROM HONDA ON 7/23/16 AT 1-888-234-2138 AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE FORWARDED TO THE "CASE MANAGEMENT DEPT". NO CONTACT FROM HONDA. I CALLED AGAIN ON 8/4/16 AND WAS TOLD BY KIA THAT THERE IS NO DIRECT PHONE # TO CASE MANAGEMENT, THAT I HAVE NO ASSIGNED CASE # FOR THE LOANER REQUEST AND THAT SHE COULD NOT TELL ME WHEN I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE CASE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT. THIS UNSAFE CAR AND LACK OF RESPONSE BY HONDA IS CREATING A BURDEN FOR MY FAMILY. I NOTIFIED KIA THAT I WOULD BE MAKING A COMPLAINT TO NHTSA.

CONTACTED SUSSMAN HONDA DEALER BY PHONE REGARDING REMEDYING PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG RECALL. WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED TO EMAIL. SENT EMAIL ON 08/01/2016. NO REPLY. EMAILED AGAIN ON 09/23/16, NO REPLY. CALLED DEALER AND AFTER A BIT OF "PHONE TAG" AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT STRUGGLING TO FIND MY VIN, INFO, ETC. I WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE ALREADY ON ORDER AND I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN THEY WERE IN. IT IS NOW A FULL YEAR LATER, AND I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. MY VEHICLE IS STILL UNDER RECALL AND THE ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

TAKATA INFLATORS: THE FOLLOWING IS CONCERNING MY 2008 HONDA CIVIC AND HONDA'S FAILURE IN THEIR RECALL CAMPAIGN: 23 MAY 2016: HONDA ISSUES RECALL CONCERNING VEHICLES IN MY MODEL YEAR AND SUGGEST I CHECK MY VIN AGAINST THEIR DATABASE OF RECALLED VEHICLES TO SEE IF MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE IS AFFECTED. 27 MAY 2016: I CONTACT HONDA WITH VIN TO SEE IF MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED. I AM TOLD THAT IT IS NOT. 27 JULY 2016: RECEIVE LETTER IN MAIL SAYING A RECALL WAS ISSUED ON MY VEHICLE ON 23 MAY. 28 JULY 2016: I CONTACT HONDA AGAIN AND THEY CONFIRM THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THAT THEIR SYSTEM HAD NOT UPDATED THE NEW INFORMATION WHEN I CALLED 4 DAYS AFTER THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. IN THE DAYS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A RECALL ISSUE IS MOST LIKELY WHEN CONSUMERS ARE TO CHECK TO SEE IF THEIR PRODUCT IS AFFECTED. IF DATABASES ARE NOT UPDATED TO REFLECT CURRENT INFORMATION, MANY CONSUMERS, LIKE MYSELF, MAY HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND FOR THE PAST TWO MONTHS WITH DANGEROUS AIR BAGS EVEN THOUGH THEY DID THEIR DO DILIGENCE TO RESEARCH THEIR VEHICLES. HONDA'S SUGGESTION TO CHECK YOUR VIN AGAINST THEIR RECALL DATABASE WAS AN INSUFFICIENT SOLUTION TO THE AIRBAG ISSUE. HONDA'S FAILURE TO UPDATE RECALL DATABASES (UNTIL SOMETIME AFTER 27 MAY 2016) FOLLOWING THE ISSUE OF THEIR RECALL ON 23 MAY 2016 WAS DANGEROUSLY NEGLIGENT.

SPEED LIMIT WAS 25 AND WAS GOING 80, RAN OVER A STOP SIGN AND NEARLY DID IT TWICE WITH CHILDREN IN THE BACK SEAT

I PURCHASED A 2008 HONDA CIVIC EX IN 2009. A FEW YEARS AFTER PURCHASE THE DRIVERS SIDE SUN VISOR BROKE AT THE SEAMS. IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. SEVERAL YEARS AGO THE SAME VISOR BROKE IN THE SAME SPOT. THE DEALER SOLD/INSTALLED A NEW ONE BUT I HAD TO PAY FOR IT AS HONDA WOULD ONLY COVER IT ONCE. TODAY THE VISOR IS BREAKING AGAIN IN THE SAME SPOT AND IN A NEW AREA. I FEEL PRETTY SURE IF I TAKE IT IN I WILL BE TOLD IT WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE OWNED 4 CIVIC EX'S AND NONE HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM JUST THE 08' A GOOGLE SEARCH SHOWS THEY HAVE HAD DEFECTS WITH THIS SUN VISOR AND SETTLE AND OUT OF COURT SETTLEMENT TO REPLACE BUT NOT ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PROBLEM. IN MY OPINION IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WITHOUT A SUN VISOR VISION IS OBSTRUCTED FOR THE DRIVER.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE TO WAIT ON PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE. IN THE MEANTIME I MUST DRIVE MY CAR AND I AM TAKING A CHANCE OF HAVING METAL PIECES FLY IN MY FACE EVEN AS THE DRIVER. WE DROVE CARS WITHOUT AIRBAGS LONG AGO-I SHOULD HAVE THE CHOICE AT LEAST OF DISMANTLING THE AIRBAGS UNTIL THEY CAN BE FIXED. THIS IS CRAP!

I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NHTSA RECALL 16V-346 ON SATURDAY 7-23-2016, PASSENGER FRONTAL AIR BAG, METAL FRAGMENT COULD PASS AIRBAG CUSHION. TODAY 7/25/2016 THE HONDA DEALER AND HONDA AUTOMOBILE CUSTOMER SERVICE DOES NOT AND WILL NOT OFFER A RENTAL CAR FOR THIS RECALL, THEY STATE NO ONE SHOULD SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED IT WILL LATE SUMMER EARLY FALL BEFORE THE PARTS WILL BE IN. IF AN ACCIDENT WOULD OCCUR AND THE BAG DEPLOYED THE DRIVER (ME) WOULD NOT BE IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT. HONDA DOES NOT SEEMED TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS SAFETY OR CONVENIENCE.

TAKATA RECALL CONTACTED DEALER IN LATE JULY. STILL NO REMEDY.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN JULY. I CONTACTED HONDA TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN THE PARTS ARRIVED. IT IS NOW ALMOST OCTOBER AND I HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE TO DATE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT THE DEFECT SHOULD BE REMEDIED WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE THAT THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED FOR A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. IT HAS BEEN WELL PAST 60 DAYS WITH NO RESPONSE. I CONTACTED THEM AGAIN AND LEFT A VOICEMAIL TODAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2016.

TAKATA RECALL - I SEARCHED MY VIN NUMBER TO DETERMINE ANY POTENTIAL RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE TO FIND THAT MINE IS INCLUDED ON THE AIRBAG RECALL. I CALLED MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD ORDER THE PART AND IT WOULD TAKE ROUGHLY A WEEK TO SHIP IN; IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO FIX ONCE THE PART WAS IN. I WAS UTTERLY SHOCKED THAT SHE WASN'T SURPRISED OR EVEN WANTING TO VERIFY ANY INFORMATION ON MY VEHICLE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTICE AS TO THE ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE, AND ONLY FOUND OUT FROM BEING PROACTIVE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN OUT SINCE MAY OF 2016, AND ITS JULY AND I STILL HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION FROM HONDA? THIS SEEMS LIKE GROSS NEGLIGENCE SHOULD SOMETHING HAVE HAPPENED IF I WAS IN AN ACCIDENT; I WOULDN'T HAVE KNOWN THAT MY PASSENGER AND POSSIBLY MYSELF COULD BE KILLED DUE TO METAL FRAGMENTS BEING RELEASED WHEN THE AIRBAG RUPTURES. IS IT NOT REQUIRED THAT THIS INFORMATION BE MADE AWARE TO THE OWNERS OF THE VEHICLES BY THE MANUFACTURERS? WHY DID I HAVE TO GO OUT OF MY WAY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM THAT IS OF THEIR DOING? WHERE ARE THE REPERCUSSIONS AGAINST THE COMPANY FOR FAILING TO BE PROACTIVE? I HAVE OTHER ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE THAT I WILL FILE UNDER OTHER REPORTS. HONDA ISN'T GETTING OFF CLEAN ANYMORE, NOT WHEN THEY'RE QUALITY HAS DROPPED AND NEGATIVELY IMPACTED THE SAFETY OF OTHERS.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA NOTIFYING ME OF A RECALL ON MY PASSENGER AIR BAG IN JULY. IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR ME TO BE DRIVING AN UNSAFE CAR FOR THIS LONG. I HAVE A ROAD TRIP PLANNED IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AND NEED MY CAR TO BE SAFE FOR IT.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA RECALL # KA5. RECEIVED NOTICE OF RECALL JULY 2016. HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY INDICATION THAT REMEDY FOR RECALL IS AVAILABLE. ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE SAFERCAR.GOV, THE RECALL WAS MADE KNOWN IN MAY 2016. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO RESOLVE THIS SAFETY ISSUE. THIS SEEMS TO BE TOO MUCH TIME TO WAIT TO HAVE SUCH A SERIOUS PROBLEM RESOLVED.

TAKATA RECALL. I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL IN JULY AND CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND HONDA, AND WAS TOLD THE PART WAS NOT YET AVAILABLE AND I WOULD BE NOTIFIED WHEN IT WAS. ON 9/20, I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PART IS AVAILABLE BUT THEY HAVE TO ORDER THE VIN-SPECIFIC PART, WHICH TAKES UP TO 4 WEEKS. I THEN CALLED HONDA TO SEE WHY I WASN'T NOTICED THAT THE PART WAS AVAILABLE, AND THE REP SAID HONDA CHANGED ITS MIND ABOUT SENDING THE PARTS AVAILABILITY NOTICE AND APOLOGIZED FOR THE "MISCOMMUNICATION." THE ORIGINAL RECALL NOTICE ADVISES ME NOT TO HAVE A FRONT-SEAT PASSENGER, WHICH IS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. THE HONDA REP WAS VERY POLITE BUT FIRM, ESSENTIALLY TELLING ME TOO BAD; I JUST NEED TO WAIT AND TRY NOT TO USE THE PASSENGER SEAT IN THE MEANTIME. THE DEALER WAS ALSO CAVALIER ABOUT THE MATTER, SUGGESTING I CHECK BACK IN CASE THEY DON'T CONTACT ME. ASSUMING THE PART IS AVAILABLE IN 4 WEEKS AND THE DEALER FIXES IT QUICKLY, THAT WILL STILL BE 3 MONTHS OF DRIVING A CAR WITH A DEFECT THAT HAS BEEN LETHAL FOR PEOPLE (SHOULD SAY SINCE I KNEW I WAS DRIVING A CAR WITH A POTENTIALLY LETHAL DEFECT). DOESN'T HONDA HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY HERE?

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY STATING THE RECALL FOR THE AIR BAGS PROPELLANT WAFERS BEING DEFECTED. I HAVE CALLED AMERICAN HONDA FOR THE PAST WEEK EVERYDAY TRYING TO TALK WITH A CASE MANAGER ABOUT MY SPECIFIC NEEDS OF ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION. I CURRENTLY WORK FOR NEURO COMMUNITY CARE WHO IS CONTRACTED BY WOUNDED WARRIORS. WE CURRENTLY SERVE OVER 500 WARRIORS WHO HAVE BRAIN INJURIES ACROSS THE US. MY DAILY JOB IS TO TRANSPORTS WARRIORS WITH BRAIN INJURIES TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS, STORES, AND COMMUNITY OUTINGS. TO MANY IT IS THEIR ONLY SOURCE OF GETTING OUT OF THE HOUSE. FOR MANY SUFFER FROM PTSD. THIS JOB IS MY ONLY SOURCE OF INCOME AND NOT HAVING A SAFE VEHICLE TO USE FOR MY WORK IS UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD EVERY TIME I CALL THAT A CASE MANAGER HAS TO CALL ME BACK, BUT AFTER A WEEK I HAVE HEARD NOTHING. MY CLIENTS AND MY EMPLOYMENT ARE SUFFERING. I NEED YOUR HELP IN HELPING ME GETTING HOLD OF A CASE MANAGER FROM AMERICAN HONDA WHO CAN AUTHORIZE THE RENTAL OF A SAFE VEHICLE WHILE I WAIT FOR MY HONDA TO GET FIXED. I HAVE CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (LEITH HONDA IN RALEIGH) AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS THEY THINKS THE PARTS WILL BE IN WITHIN 2-3 WEEKS, BUT IT IS JUST A ESTIMATE. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME! I AM AFRAID OF THE INJURIES FOR MY CLIENTS AS WELL AS MY FAMILY. MY EMAIL IS ([XXX] AND MY PHONE NUMBER IS [XXX] SINCERELY, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL - HEARD THE AIRBAG MIGHT BE ON RECALL ABOUT A MONTH AGO. DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR TO COLLEGE. LOOKED UP CIVIC ONLINE AND IT MET THE RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAG. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP BUT THEY SAID THEY HAVE NO PART FOR REPLACEMENT UNTIL FALL. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. OUR 4 SEAT CAR IS NOW A 'LIMO' AS NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. ALSO MY DAUGHTER MUST RETURN TO COLLEGE WITHOUT THE REPAIR COMPLETED AS THE PARTS ARE NOT EXPECTED UNTIL AFTER SHE MUST RETURN. HER COLLEGE IS OVER 6 HOURS AWAY. THIS IS BEYOND INCONVENIENT. AND VERY UNSAFE. YOU NEED TO SUPPLY THE REPAIR MUCH SOONER.
