Takata recall; they notified me last may, that my auto might be covered by the recall. Thus far, they have done nothing. I feel like they should at least disconnect the air bag for my families safety, rather than us driving a time bomb. If they cannot repair this defect, they should make some form of correction; either purchase the auto , supply something safe to drive. I hate to think the government department that is responsible for our transportation safety, would just continue to let american citizens be injured, disabled, or killed; when we purchased and paid for in goof faith to be a reliable safe product. I fear for my family to use the auto, but I cannot afford to just park it, and purchase another, till someone does something. Might I also mention, that everyone is aware of the issue, and the value of the auto is minimal now.

Takata recall I got the recall email from honda in march of 2016 saying that replacement parts would be available in the summer of 2016. It stated that honda would contact me when parts for my fit were available. Considering that the air bags deploy and spray shrapnel into people's faces and eyes, it would seem urgent to get these replacement airbags to honda's customers. To date, I have heard nothing further from honda. I can't sell this car because it is a "recall" car and should not drive it for years and years with the defect/maiming airbags. Why it my safety not more important to honda? Why isn't the government forcing them to make timely repairs?

Takata recall dear sir/madam, I send this message because I have no further instruction about recall of my fit sport 2011, whose has takata airbag problem. Initial instruction shows replacement part will arrive around fall 2016, but we have no postal/electric notification about further actions. I contacted the nearest honda dealer but there is no information neither (even no reply to my email). I hope someone could let me know what is happening and what I can do for this issue. Thank you. Best regards, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Takata recall. Second recall for airbag issue, now passenger side. No notification or any information from honda about the repair of this issue. This has limited the use of this vehicle as no passengers can ride in the front.

Takata recall: I received a letter from honda on 3/26/2016 informing me that my airbag was defective and was recalled. The letter stated they would send me another letter soon informing me when I could get it fixed. I never heard back from them, so I called them on 7/18/2016. They said that I could get it fixed by late september at the latest and that I would receive a second letter informing me when I could get it fixed. Now it is 11/2/2016 and I still have not heard anything from honda. If my car truly has a dangerous airbag that needs to be replaced, I think that more than 7 months is longer than I should have to wait to get it fixed. I want them to fix my airbag as soon as possible.

I received two notices of the airbag recall for my honda fit (2011) and the part was supposed to be available by late summer/fall. I made an appointment online for 8/27/16 only to find out when I got there that my local honda dealership (honda of oakland) still did not have the part even though I was able to make an appointment online specifically for the recall. It's been over 90 days and I still have yet to receive notice from my local dealership regarding this recall. Please remedy this situation as soon as possible. I have never had to wait so long (over 4 months) for the part to come for a recall, especially when it involves life/death.

Takata inflators. I received a recall notice in march 2016, and within a day or two contacted my local honda dealer, mc grath honda, located at 1411 e main street in st charles, il. They supposedly put me on a waiting list. I have called them 3 times, and even stopped by once to inquire on the status o my vehicle. They have never called me back. Even on my drop by visit, I was not given an answer, just told someone would call me back the next day...did not happen. I have now been waiting over 180 days to get the repair. I have even contacted the honda dealer schaumburg, il, but have had no better luck with them. If this is such a safety concern, maybe they should concentrate on fixing the cars that are already on the road. Help me get my car fixed. I rely on it to take my handicapped mother to her doctor's appointments in chicago.

Takata recall it has been over 60 days since first contacting my honda dealership (automation honda of valencia) for a repair appointment. They have neither remedied the defect in my vehicle, nor made any attempt to assure my safety of my family. Multiple attempts to call to speak with someone to try and resolve the situation have been in vain.

I brought my car in to be repaired and they notified me that it would be an extended time that my car would be out. I explained that I drive uber and that was my main form of income, when I couldn't drive a regular enterprise, I spoke to honda and did the second option of paying for it upfront and being reimbursed 6-8 weeks after I filed my receipts. This was going on in april-may and it is now september. I am out $1200 and do not know how to get them to reimburse me my money. They have been dragging their feet always requesting more information and wanting more and needing me to explain. This is absolutely ridiculous and I want to take legal action. So tired of being stepped on by the big guy.

Takata inflators. I have called ocean honda many time to schedule this recall. Service dept. Said parts on order and would be process per vehicle owners requesting repair. I called initially in april 2016 to get in queue; I call back in june 2016 and they said I hadn't called before. Ventura, ca is a high humidity location and thus should be one of the first to get repairs. I've called multiple time since and still "no parts." my daughter drives this car with this potentially lethal flaw. I request the federal safety agency do something to speed up remediation and assess stiff fines for lack of compliance. Thank you.
