"tanaka recall" 10/04/2009 my son was in his automobiles passenger seat and his friend, who was driving, went off the road into a guardrail. This happened on route 8 at exit 21 in seymour , ct. The ct. Medical examiner reported that the driver had an airbag and that my son didn't in the passenger seat. We were informed by celia, owner of our west haven funeral parlor, that our son died immediately, hitting the top of the car near the seat belt bracket. Celia has a special endorsement with the state of ct. And works with the states medical examiner personally. We feel that our son's injuries/death could have been significantly different if his side and front airbag worked, period.

On march 12, 2016 my wife and I were traveling home to santa cruz from oakland on highway 880. While stopped in stop-and-go traffic we were hit from behind by a vehicle traveling at high speed. Unfortunately, our air bags never deployed resulting in serious injury to my wife and myself. We had recently taken the car to the dealer, ocean honda in soquel, california, after receiving notice that the air bags on the vehicle were defective and needed to be replaced. Our car was completely totaled as was the car that hit us. While none of our air bags deployed the air bags in the vehicle that struck us all deployed. I'm not sure all of our injuries could have been avoided if the air bags had deployed, but I'm sure the extent of our injuries would have been lessened. I don't know if the recall work done on our car was negligent, or if they just turned off the air bag system. But whatever was or was not done has had a serious impact on my wife and myselfi.

The SRS and side airbag lights are illuminated on the front dash. After having the takata airbag recall performed on my car, I was told that these lights were unrelated. Instead, I would need to pay somewhere between $600-$1,000 to have the SRS control unit replaced, which may solve the issue. In the meantime, my side and passenger side airbags will not work in a crash. I have not had any incidents yet (no crashes) but feel that I am at risk if I were to be in a crash during which airbag deployment would normally occur.

I took my car in for service to my local dealership on 3/23/15, which I booked online. I was able to book my recall service for the airbag inflater online as well, which no issues. I was asked when I brought in the car if I had called to order parts, I had not as there was no indication when I booked that I needed to do so. I was simply told parts would be ordered for me and they would let me know when they were in. After two weeks I called the dealership to inquire on my ordered parts, I was told parts can take "2 to 3 days or one to two months" to get in due to a backlog. I contacted honda via social media and was told that someone would be in touch with me. Two weeks later I still have yet to receive parts, hear from my local dealership or hear from anyone in honda's customer service department. My initial recall notice indicates this is a potentially life-threatening, dangerous issue that needs to be addressed, and yet despite my best efforts I am still stuck with faulty parts and no timeline for repairs. A two month wait for parts in a dangerous recall is irresponsible and potentially leaves me liable in the event of an accident involving these parts as I have been notified of their danger but otherwise unable to replace them.
