In march, 2016 I received a recall letter about the driver side airbag from acura. Finally on 8/19/2016 (five months later) I received a call from apple tree acura to make an appointment to fix the airbag. On 8/23/2016 I dropped my vehicle off at apple tree acura. When I picked my vehicle up I was told that the airbag was fixed. But, on the invoice it states that "client advised that the vehicle is subject to one or more recalls affecting the drivers and/opr passengers front airbag inflators. Redesigned airbag inflators are not available for installation at this time. Once redesigned parts are available, the registered owner will receive notice to return for replacement of the componet. Open recall. Replaced dr airbag inflator." please review attached recall letter and invoice. The customer service person never advised me of anything, he gave me the invoice then disappeared. It took five months and about ten phone calls to even get an appointment. Most of my calls went to voicemail with no return calls. On 8/29/2016 I called the federal safety agency, I was put on hold and then disconnected. I had given the person my call back number but it has been five hours and no one has called me back. It seems that acura and the federal safety agency are avoiding questions and concerns about this recall. I would like to know when and if my vehicle will be safe to drive?

Takata recall - I received a recall notice(the federal safety agency recall 16v‑061) in march 2016. As of today, no additional information has been received in regard to the status of this issue.

Takata recall - my complaint is because over 2 months have gone by since the first time (may 05th) I contacted the acura dealer in order to schedule the air bags replacement. They have failed to solve within 60 days of our first attempt to schedule remediation. We were appointed a loaner but that just seems to make acura lose the sense of urgency for the remediation.

Takata recall. My complaint is that acura and/or mcgrath acura dealership in morton groove illinois is not supporting this recall. I received a recall notice in the mail from acura, back in february,2016, stating my vehicle is part of this recall. In february or march, I called mcgrafh acura dealership in morton groove, illinois and was told they wouldn't have parts until the summer. I called the same dealer today,7/6/2016, and was told parts were not there for my SUV. Service department said parts were tricalling in from acura and they are approximately 200 people ahead of me. So I'm on a waiting list with no definite time when they will do the recall. Have you had other complaints like this? Their recall notice states my safety is at risk but they don't' seem to concerned.
Takata recall -- I first learned that my vehicle was part of the takata recall in march 2016, when I took the car in for regular service. At that time, the dealership said that parts were not available. They did not instruct me to stop driving the car, warn me of the seriousness of the recall, or offer me a rental. Instead, I drove the car until early may, and then called to check on the status of parts. With parts still not available, the dealership then instructed me to stop driving the vehicle and put me in a rental. Now, after 2 months of driving a rental and 4 months of knowing about the recall, I still cannot get any information from acura about when my parts will be available. My car is sitting in my garage with a dead battery and potentially additional damage from the prolonged storage, I'm driving a much cheaper vehicle than the one I purchased and am still paying for, and acura just keeps saying that they don't have parts. I am very frustrated and either want my parts and my vehicle repaired in the near future or want acura to facilitate the trade-in of my vehicle for a 2017 model, which is not recalled, by making up some of the difference between the trade-in value of my vehicle and the cost of a 2017 model.

2014 acura rdx. Consumer writes in regards to dealerships failure within a reasonable time frame to repair drivers front airbag inflator recall. Consumer states dealership used recall to pressure them into purchasing a new vehicle.
I purchased my 2014 honda acura rdx from vandergriff acura in 2014. I have received a safety recall on it for faulty airbags. My husband and I are retired, and are very worried about our car we can't drive. We did get a rent car. In the recall letter, it states we should get the airbag installed by the summer. I have an email from an employee of vandergriff acura, that it might be fall before we get it installed. Right now, our beautiful car is sitting in the garage, has been for 1 month. We really can't imagine it there until fall? Is it hard on a car to leave it like this? We are worried and just do not know what to do. We paid $32,000.00 for this car in 2014, and now we feel like vandergriff acura knew at the time they sold us this auto, that the airbags were faulty, and they put our lives at danger.my email address is [xxx] and my mailing address is [xxx].
