2009 Honda Fit airbags complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 104, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Takata recall. I continue to get notices for car I no longer own. Car was traded to economy honda during purchase of vehicle. I have call economy honda to ask why they did not update records.
I have been trying to get honda of kirkland, washington to repair my airbags since september of 2016. They keep putting it off and now they say they can't do it until the end of may. That is over an 8 month wait, honda is the one that told me I needed the service.
There are two recall notices for this vehicle related to airbags, but honda says that the remedy is not available yet. Car was involved in a crash. Vehicle was moving at the time on a city street. The car had substantial damage. Interior airbag did not deploy. Value of car is reduced due to this defect that cannot be remedied, and I believe that honda should reimburse me for my loss in value due to the defective nature of the car.
Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda fit. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v346000 (air bags) for the front passenger air bag inflator and the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v061000 (air bags) for the front driver's air bag inflator. The part for the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The contact had not experienced a failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. Parts distribution disconnect.
Takata recall I received a letter notifying me of the recall in march 2016. It said that the parts were not yet available and I would receive a follow up letter when they became available in summer 2016. I never received a follow up letter as of february 2017.
Takata recall: I have received several letters stating that my car has a safety defect related to the takata airbags. The last letter was in july 2016. In it, it states that if honda or the dealer (richard's honda in baton rouge, louisiana) has failed to remedy the defect within 60 days. I actually called over a year ago and they kept telling me that they would send a letter when the part was ready. Well, its been over a year and I've received nothing stating that the part is ready.
Takata recall I was notified on march 2016 about the takata recall. I called my local honda dealership in september 2016 to have this issue resolved. At that time, they informed me that they didn't have the parts to resolve the defect. I have yet to be contacted about a fix for the defect.
Takata recall - I was contacted nearly a year ago (feb 2016), informing me that my airbag inflators were being recalled and that more information would be provided at a later date. I was contacted in may 2016 letting me know that the replacement parts would be available in late summer/early fall 2016, and that honda would contact me again when they were available. I have not heard anything more from honda, and that is unacceptable. My car has been unsafe to drive for the past year, and yet I still need to drive it to get to work. It's time for honda to take steps to replace this part and make my car safe again so I can stop living in fear of getting into an accident and having my airbag inflate and kill me!

Takata recall: I contacted berkeley honda to get this recall fixed. A sales person contacted me to try to sell me a new car but the service department never returned the call. I called them back and they supposedly ordered the part but never advised me if the part was available. Further calls not returned. Contacted oakland honda who said they had the parts but refused to make an appointment - said it's first come, first served. I'm an elderly woman and not well. I cannot be expected to show up and either wait and wait or find out that there is no part available when I get there. I called san leandro honda - left messages but they never return the call. Please have someone take care of this! It's not good service at all and not realistic to have me never have a passenger while I'm waiting for this to be resolved.

Takata recall - honda informed me in feb 2016 about the recall regarding the airbag however I have not heard anything since then. 9 months later and no resolution. This is not being handled in a timely manner. Especially since this issue has been known to kill drivers.

Takata recall - I received a notice of the recall of my 2009 honda fit last spring and so far neither honda nor the dealer has made the replacement air-bags available. I find this very upsetting.

Received the federal safety agency recall notice 16v‑061 in march 2016. Called local dealer and was told that the part was not yet in. Called again over the summer, and again today (9/26/2016) and was told that the part is still not in. We believe that this is an unacceptable length of time to correct a safety issue that can cause death and injury to the driver.
