Takata recall. Notice of recall was sent to me in march, 2016. The letter indicated parts would be available in the summer of 2016. In early august, when I contacted my honda dealer (shofield homda, wichita ks), I was told the part had to be ordered and would arrive in a couple of weeks. It has now been 7 weeks and I've heard nothing.
We placed an order to fix the "passenger" airbag, after receiving a letter from honda. This has been 2 months ago. We asked for a rental, as we were given one for our "driver" airbag. They refused, saying the passenger must sit in the back seat. I have arthritis, and bad back, and to get into the back seat is hard. We have contacted honda and the honda dealer's service dept. And no luck there. The part isn't in yet. They say they will look into it. Our case # 04972087. My thinking is they don't want to pay for a rental, as if no one is sitting in the passenger side, and there is an accident, it won't deploy. I don't think I should have to be inconvenienced by their faulty airbags. If I sell this car, I wont' get as much out of it because of the unrepaired airbag. So, if you would, could you please help us? Sincerely
Takata recall - the contact owns a 2009 honda fit sport affected by recall for driver and passenger air bags. Scheduled maintenance as soon as letter from manufacturer received with tony honda autoplex. Was told repair parts are not available and would be in by summer 2016. Requested rental replacement as recall is considered a serious injury\death issue, was told, 'we'll put you on the list'. To date still no contact on when rental is available or parts to be replaced. Second vehicle, 2011 scion xb also affected by takata recall so request not to drive vehicle is not an option as both vehicles are used for daily commute to\from place of employment.

Takata recall I have contacted with authorized honda dealer regarding two recalls, takata driver airbag inflator and passenger airbag inflator. It has been waiting for the airbag parts more than 80 days, and the dealer said the parts are currently still not available and cannot tell me the status or any more information when it will be available. It's very frustrating.

"takata recall" I made an appointment on july 2, 2016 at my local honda dealership, vandergriff honda, arlington tx and was told they had the airbags in stock. I took my car in on my appointment july 5, 2016 and received a call that day that the airbags were not in stock. I was told they would have to order them and it would take 6 weeks. I called back august 17, 2016 and was told they were still not in, they were coming in sporadically. I called again today, september 6, 2016 and still no answer as to when I can get my airbags replaced. It is well over the 60 days reasonable period of time that I have had to wait. I am tired of feeling stressed every time I drive my car with these defective airbags.

Driver's side airbag recall: I received a driver's side airbag recall in march 2016. I've contacted my local honda dealer, scott robinson in torrance, ca at least 8 times beginning in march 2016 and most recently in august 2016. The first few months scott robinson said parts weren't available and they couldn't provide alternative transportation. Finally in august they said they could order the parts and it would take 4-6 weeks for the part to come in, but they reiterated that they can't provide alternative transportation. On august 22, 2016 I called american honda and requested alternative transportation. Throughout the week of august 22 - 25 (mon - thurs) I called american honda a total of 4 times as they asked me to call my local dealers (which I two different ones) to try to get alternative transportation and to call them back to escalate my case because of my upcoming trips with my pregnant wife in my car. American honda said they would open a case and get back to me to provide alternative transportation by 8/29/2016. American honda also told me a manager would call me back on 8/25/16 or 8/26/16 at the latest but I never received any calls as of 9/5/2016 (and no missed calls). American honda continues to give me the run-around for a case I initiated in march 2016. They have had awareness that I am driving with a life-threatening defect and are not taking any action, which is criminal.

Six (6) months of waiting to have driver & passenger airbags replaced airbags ordered in my name. Contacted american honda motor inc to file complaint/case #04866759. Was told honda cannot assist me. Must use my honda dealer. Honda dealer says they have no idea when to expect parts as of 8/25/2016.
Takata recall - I received two notices of the recall since march. When I spoke with a representative from american honda motor co in early july 2016, they said pacific honda in honolulu (current residence) should have parts available. I called pacific honda only to be put on a waiting list. It is now, august 25th, and still no word or call back to say if my 2009 honda fit will be ready for service. We are moving to los angeles on monday, aug 29th and I would like to have it serviced at the nearest dealership asap. I am outraged as to how poorly this dangerous recall situation has been handled. Pacific honda is considered in the hah zones and all customers should have received better notification as to when the parts were ready for service. I expected honda to call me before our move regardless of how many people are on the "waiting list." I have a diabetic toddler who rides in the back seat. This cannot prolong any further than it already has.

Takata recall parts are on national backorder and they are no longer compensating owners with rentals or otherwise. Dealer has no idea when it will be fixed, and I have to rely on someone else to drive me around. And, I don't like my vehicle not being used for a long period of time. This is their error and they need to continue to take care of those affected.

Takata recall. Got notification - rec'd 3/29/16. On my 2009 honda fit. Constant contact with honda dealership and honda corp. "parts not available yet". Today - I find I can get a "loaner" according to honda corp. Call dealership - have to come sign paperwork and go to enterprise for loaner. Enterprise tells me that I need a $200.00 deposit - refundable when I bring car back - and proof of income. Also have to find out from honda what they will pay for weekly rental - I only asked for economy car. They give me $$ amount - now I have to find out from honda dealership if they will pay $35.00 per day. Honda corp says paying this amount is up to dealership. I've never had an accident / even a ticket and 66 yrs. Young. Why do I have to put up with all these phone calls - 1/2 the time the dealership won't even return my phone calls! Paying my "loaner fee" seems a whole lot cheaper - than god forbid I had been in an accident.

Takata recall when I receive the recall notice four months ago I went to herb chambers honda in burlington, ma. They refused to provide me with a substitute vehicle because I have a teenage driver. They told me to call american honda about it - I did, I opened a case, and have never heard anything. I have been calling herb chambers every few weeks but all they would tell me is that they don't have the parts to fix the car. I tried calling honda gallery in reading. They told me they have to order the parts specifically for the vehicle (herb chambers never told me this) and that it will take another six weeks if they mark it 'urgent'. Nicole in service said she can't tell me that my car is safe to drive. She did not know if they will give me a rental or not, same reason, I have an 18 year old driver. I feel that honda was perfectly happy to sell me a defective car but is doing nothing to either fix it or provide safe transportation.
