TAKATA RECALL SINCE RECEIVING A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL THIS PAST JULY 2016, I HAVE MADE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO TALK WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT BOB HOWARD HONDA IN EDMOND, OK.

REAR WHEEL BEARINGS MAKINGS LOUD NOISE WHILE DRIVING. IF WHEEL BEARING WERE TO GO OUT IT WOULD BE A BIG SAFETY PROBLEMS WHILE DRIVING.

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON ALL THE TIME

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE SPOKEN TO HONDA AND THEY HAVE NO ESTIMATE FOR WHEN THE REPLACEMENT PASSENGER AIRBAG PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THE BACKORDER IS SO LARGE THAT THEY AREN'T EVEN ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE THE ORDER ITSELF AT THIS TIME. THEIR SOLUTION IS TO HAVE NOBODY RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. FOR A FAMILY OF FOUR WITH ONLY ONE CAR, THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THEY ARE PUTTING US IN DANGER AND REFUSING TO TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY BY TRYING TO PASS US OFF TO THE DEALERSHIP.

TPMS INDICATOR IS ALWAYS ON. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALER TO GET SERVICE BUT THEY HAVE SAID IT'S AN ELECTRICAL GLITCH CANNOT BE FIXED. THIS PRESENTS A SAFETY ISSUE IF A REAL PROBLEM OCCURS NOT KNOWING WHEN TIRES NEED ADJUSTMENT.

TAKATA RECALL WHY IS THE PARTS FOR THIS TAKING SO LONG? I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY INDICATING THE PARTS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL AND TO AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. IS THERE AN ETA ON THE AVAILABLE PARTS?

TAKATA RECALL--I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA ABOUT A RECALL ON MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC NHTSA RECALL 16V-346. IT STATED THAT PROPELLANT WAFERS IN SOME OF THE INFLATORS MY DEGRADE OVER TIME, WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY TO THE PASSENGER, AND NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS WAS IN JULY 2016. THE RECALL IS STILL NOT REPAIRABLE ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE. FOUR MONTHS IS EXCESSIVE TO ASK ME TO NOT USE MY PASSENGER SEAT!! I NEED THE CAR FIXED, SO MY PASSENGER WILL BE SAFE.

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA GAVE NOTIFICATION IN JULY 2016 THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR CAN BE PERFORMED." THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HONDA SAID THAT "THE REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016." IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HONDA NEEDS TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE IF THEY CANNOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED CONFLICTING MESSAGES FROM NHTSA AND HONDA. ACCORDING TO THE NHTSA, THERE IS A SERIOUS RECALL FOR MY CIVIC, PART IS AVAILABLE FOR FIXING AND VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN UNTIL FIXED. I CALLED HONDA, AND THEY SAY OKAY TO DRIVE EXCEPT NO PASSENGER IN FRONT SEAT AND PART WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL LATE SUMMER/EARLY FALL. I NEED TO KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. FINALLY, HONDA HAS NEVER EVEN CONTACTED ME ABOUT THE RECALL. I CALLED THEM WHEN I READ YOUR ARTICLE. PLEASE ADVISE ABOUT THIS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CURTAIN AIR BAG PREMATURELY OPENED PARTIALLY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED, DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE ALSO WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DRIVER SIDE VISOR JUST BROKE FOR NO GOOD REASON

WHILE TRAVELING DOWN SURFACE STREETS, I HIT A BUMP AND MY ALREADY SAGGING FLIP VISOR DROPPED DOWN AND ALMOST COMPLETELY OBSTRUCTED MY VIEW OF THE ROAD. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO GRAB AND FLIP IT BACK UP, THE CARS IN FRONT OF ME HAD SLOWED SIGNIFICANTLY. I REALIZE THERE HAS BEEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE, HOWEVER MY VIN IS ~800 ABOVE THE HIGHEST VIN INCLUDED. HONDA IS REFUSING TO DO ANYTHING TO RECTIFY THIS BECAUSE THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT WAS VIN-SPECIFIC. I WOULDN'T ORDINARILY BOTHER WITH THIS BUT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS INFORMED IN MAY THAT MY CAR WAS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. THE LETTER STATED THERE SHOULD BE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN BY THE END OF THE SUMMER. I LIVE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, A VERY HOT AND HUMID CITY. I WAS INFORMED THAT CARS IN HOT HUMID CITIES ARE MOST AT RISK OF THE BAGS GOING OFF WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT. CONSIDERING I LIVE IN SUCH A HOT, HUMID CITY IS IS VERY CONCERNING THAT IT IS NOVEMBER AND HONDA HAS STILL NOT INFORMED ME THAT A REPLACEMENT PART IS IN SO I CAN GET MY CAR FIXED. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG TO REMEDY A DANGEROUS AIR BAG DEFECT. IF I'M AT A DANGER DRIVING MY CAR AT ALL I WANT TO KNOW AND I WANT THIS FIXED.

THE REAR LOWER CONTROL ARM SNAPPED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT, AND UPON INVESTIGATION I REALIZE THAT THIS IS WHAT HAS BEEN CAUSING SIGNIFICANT TIRE WEAR ON MY CAR OVER THE YEARS AS WELL AS SHAKING AND LOUD BUZZING WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER HAD A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DIFFICULTY LOADING AND UNLOADING THE CAR DUE TO THE REAR BUMPER COMING WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING THE GROUND BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER BEING SUPPORTED BY THE CONTROL ARM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD.

MY HONDA CIVIC WAS HIT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR BY A FORD RANGER PICKUP TRUCK. I WAS DRIVING NORTHBOUND ON A CITY STREET IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA AND THE TRUCK WAS HEADING SOUTHBOUND AND ATTEMPTED TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS THE LANE THAT I WAS OCCUPYING WHEN I WAS HIT. THE DRIVER AIRBAG IN THE TRUCK DEPLOYED, BUT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG IN MY CIVIC DID NOT DEPLOY. I WAS INJURED BY BROKEN GLASS AND IMPACT OF MY LEFT ARM & SHOULDER AGAINST THE DRIVER DOOR. THE IMPACT FOR WAS SUFFICIENT TO BEND BOTH THE A-PILLAR AND B-PILLAR INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. I BELIEVE THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG IN MY CIVIC WAS DEFECTIVE. NOTE THAT A LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST, BUT SINCE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVABLE, AND WAS TOWED TO A CAR STORAGE YARD AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE.

THE CLEAR COAT HAS WORN AWAY ON THE ROOF AND WILL NEED TO BE REPAINTED.

BOUGHT THE 2009 HONDA CIVIC JANUARY 2016. WITHIN WEEKS I DEVELOPED A SORE HIP AND THEN PAIN DOWN MY LEG TO MY KNEE. MOST UNCOMFORTABLE SEAT I EVER SAT IN. I TRIED USING A CUSHION. IT DIDN'T HELP MUCH. ITS ESPECIALLY PAINFUL ON ANY OUTING LASTING MORE THAN AN HOUR. WILL NOT TAKE IT ON LONG TRIPS. I VISITED CAR COMPLAINTS.COM AND REALIZED THAT OTHERS WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. ITS DEFIANTLY A DESIGN FLAW. IM SERIOUSLY THINKING OF SELLING THE CAR.

DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR RECALL THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE RECALL OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IN 2009 AND GOOD FOR 7 YEARS FROM THAT DATE. I HAD ONE VISOR, SPLIT APART AT THE TOP SEAM, REPLACED. THE SECOND VISOR NOT ONLY SPLIT AT THE SEAM BUT CAME LOOSE AT THE HINGE AND FLEW PAST MY FACE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN APRIL 2016. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITHIN THE 7-YEAR PERIOD BUT BECAUSE I MISREAD THE WARRANTY I KEPT PUTTING OFF THE REPLACEMENT UNTIL AFTER IT EXPIRED. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO CULVER CITY HONDA, SERVICE MANAGER RUE AYALA TOLD ME HONDA SELECTED A 7-YEAR WINDOW IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VISORS WITH DEFECTIVE VISORS TO GET RID OF THEM. HE SAID CUSTOMERS HAD COME IN AS MANY AS "THREE, FOUR AND FIVE TIMES FOR REPLACEMENT VISORS." HE OFFERED ME A DISCOUNT, WHICH I REFUSED. WHY SHOULD MY RECALLED PART BE AS DEFECTIVE AS THE FIRST ONE? THE CAR SHOULD HAVE COME WITH A NEW AND WORKING PART: THAT'S WHAT I PAID FOR. MY FEAR IS THE LATEST RECALL, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, MIGHT ALSO BE REPLACED WITH A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. SUN VISORS ARE ALSO MATTERS OF SAFETY. THEY SHOULD NOT FLY OFF THE HINGE PAST YOUR FACE WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, IT DID NOT STRIKE MY FACE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO ACURA HONDA, WHOSE EMPLOYEES HAVE GIVEN ME THE RUNAROUND SINCE I BEGAN CALLING SIX WEEKS AGO. I HAVE BEEN PASSED FROM CASE MANAGER TO CASE MANAGER. I HAVE ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR BUT HAVE BEEN REFUSED. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE NAMES OF NATIONAL AND REGIONAL DIRECTORS WHO OVERSEE RECALLS, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE OUT THAT INFORMATION. SO MUCH FOR GOOD FAITH TO A CUSTOMER WHO HAS PURCHASED TWO HONDAS. HONDA, IN MY OPINION, HAS ACTED FRAUDULENTLY REGARDING THEIR BAIT-AND-SWITCH SUN VISOR RECALL. I BELIEVE I DESERVE A NEW, NON-DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR AT NO COST TO ME. PLEASE HELP. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

SUN VISORS HAVE BOTH SEPARATED

INTERIOR CENTER LED BRAKE LIGHT FAILED, RIGHT SIDE ENGINE MOUNT FAILED, ATOMIC BLUE PAINT ON ROOF AND EDGES OF REAR FENDERS AROUND TRUNK FADED AND CHALKY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG SEMI INFLATED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

THE CENTER (INTERIOR) BRAKE LIGHT WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD SAME PROBLEM. ONLY AFFECTS EX MODEL LED LIGHT ASSEMBLY. IT IS UNSAFE AND COSTLY FIX. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

CLEAR COAT ON PAINT FAILED AFTER 3 YEARS. SUN VISORS FAILED AFTER 4 YEARS AND 35K MILES. MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED AT 5 YEARS AND 42K MILES.

SPLASH GUARD IS DISINTERGRATING. ALSO PAINT (TOP COAT) ON ROOF AND TOP OF TRUNK IS BADLY DETERIORATED. THESE DEFECTS NOTED OVER TIME.

WIPER BLADES DON'T PARK THEMSELVES AND SOMETIMES STOP IN MIDDLE OF WIND SHIELD AND INHIBIT VISIBILITY. SOMETIMES WIPERS WILL TURN OFF ONCE TURNED ON. HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN.

THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR SPLIT AND NOW HANGS DOWN OBSTRUCTING MY VIEW. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH 2009 AND EARLIER CIVICS; HOWEVER, MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS A RESULT OF THE CLASS ACTION SUIT.

WENT TO STOP AND THE BRAKES WERE USELESS. I SLAMMED THE BRAKES TO FLOOR AND MISSED THE TAIL END OF CAR BY SWERVING IN TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAD RECENTLY BROUGHT CAR IN TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND HONDA SAID THEY WERE OKAY AND NO NEED TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE. I DON NOT LIKE TO BRAKE ON A BUMPY ROAD BECAUSE THE BRAKES DO NOT DO WELL ON BUMPY ROADS. I TAKE CAUTION WHEN I HAVE TO BRAKE ON A BUMPY ROAD. BROUGHT CAR TO HONDA ON AUGUST 1, 2015 AND TOLD THEM CHANGE/FIX THE BRAKES. HONDA SAID THEY WERE GOING TO CHECK EVERYTHING. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS BRAKE ISSUE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG DID NOT FULLY DEPLOY. NO OTHER AIR BAG DEPLOYED. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER AND THE FRONT PASSENGER RECEIVED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO AN UNKNOWN LOCATION. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 75,000.

DASHBOARD WARNING LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY APPEARS, INDICATING THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING.

THE CLEAR COAT IS PEELING OFF THE CAR. HONDA HAD ADMITTED A PROBLEM HOWEVER I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF A RECAP/EXTENDED WARRANTY.PROBLEM STARTED OUT SMALL BUT HAS BECOME A MAJOR PROBLEM. SHOULD BE COVERED AFTER WARRANTY PERIOD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNED IN FRONT OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OF THE OTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES REPORTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION WHERE IT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 147,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

THE PAINT ON THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN CHIPPING OFF THROUGHOUT VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE CAR'S BODY, DOWN TO THE UNDERCOAT. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW, AND IT HAS NEVER BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, OR BEEN REPAINTED FOR ANY REASONS. THE PROBLEM STARTED OCCURRING APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS AGO. THE NATURE OF THE ISSUE IS DOES NOT PERTAIN TO ANY OF THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN THE NOTE SECTION OF THIS VEHICLE INFORMATION FORM. I APPROACHED HONDA REGARDING THE ISSUE, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE IS NOT CONSIDERED UNDER THE COMPANY'S RECALL POLICY. HONDA VEHICLES ARE WELL KNOWN FOR PROBLEMS REGARDING PAINT, AND HONDA AND SEVERAL HONDA OWNERS ARE FULLY AWARE OF SUCH PROBLEMS. I AM LOOKING FOR ASSISTANCE TO ADDRESS AND RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. PLEASE HELP US CONSUMERS PRESERVE OUR RIGHTS AND GET THE PROTECTION WE NEED AGAINST CORPORATIONS, SUCH AS HONDA, THAT PROFIT FROM US AND DON'T ADEQUATELY STAND BY US BY HONORING THE QUALITY OF THEIR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

I WAS DRIVING MY 2009 MANUAL HONDA CIVIC WITH A 55K ON IT AND THE TEMP OUTSIDE WAS -20 F, ON THE HIGH WAY AT ABOUT 75 MPH, NOTHING WAS ABNORMAL ON MY DASHBOARD AND THE CAR WAS ON THE 5 TH TRANSMISSION THE CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED RESPONDING TO MY ACCELERATION AND THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKED THREE TIMES BEFORE MY ENGINE COMPLETELY STOPPED, IT WAS FREEZING OUTSIDE AND THERE WAS A FROTH BITE WARNING. I PARKED SAFELY ON THE SIDE THANKS GOD THERE WERE NO MUCH OF A TRAFFIC ON THE HIGH WAY OTHERWISE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. I CHECKED MY BATTERY AND NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT, SO I CHECKED MY OIL WHICH I JUST CHANGED 10 DAYS AGO, I FOUND OUT THAT MY OIL CHECKING STICK IS COMPLETELY BURNT AND THE REMAINS WAS BLACK. AT THIS TIME I WAS SURE THAT IT SOMETHING BAD. I TOWED THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND ARRIVED SAFELY TO MY HOME. I CHECKED ONLINE ON MY WARRANTY AND RECALLS OR BULLETINS, I FOUND OUT THAT HONDA HAS THIS PROBLEM AND I CALLED THE HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY TOLD ME SORRY YOUR CAR IS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS BULLETIN, AN UNRESPONSIBLE CAR MANUFACTURER WHO PRODUCED AN ENGINE THAT FAILS IN 5 YEARS AFTER 55K AND DOESN'T CLAIM RESPONSIBILITY, NO COMMENT!!!!!. AS IF SAFETY IS THE LAST THING THAT MATTERS FOR THOSE COMPANIES, PUTTING ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK AND CLAIMING NO RESPONSIBLY FOR THEIR PRODUCT.
