Takata recall honda recall notice advises "parts needed ...will become available in late summer/fall 2016..." and "avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed." to not be able to safely seat someone in the passenger front seat is a hardship that requires an immediate remedy. I called honda pacific this morning and was informed that they will not be providing alternate vehicles because - unlike the driver airbag recall - the cars are still drivable. So I basically have to secure another vehicle at my own expense until honda can fix the problem. This situation is not acceptable to me but I was told that all I can do is make a complaint. So here it is. Thank you for your time.
Takata recall - on april 15, 2016, I first called pacific honda to schedule repair under this recall. I have called back a number of times since then and have yet to receive an appointment for repair of the airbags subject to this recall.

Takata recal - got a notification from honda re driver side air bag recall. Took car into local honda dealership 06/29/2016. Was told that another recall on the passenger side air bag also applies to my car, and that neither air bag is available at the dealership for repairs to be performed. Service representative ordered the parts and told me that I will be notified once they arrive, and service representative told me that he can not provide an estimate as to how long it would take for the air bags to arrive. Today is 07/27/2016, it has been 4 weeks since my first visit to the local honda dealership about the air bags, and still no airbags and no date of their expected delivery.
Takata recall: unlikely will timely correction occur.

Keep calling ventura honda to get airbag recall parts and fix. They keep loosing my place in the queue for repair. Ventura is a humid area as location is next to ocean. Honda response unacceptable. Dot must take action to get these faulty airbags remedied much more quickly. Thank you. (latest call 7/18/2016)

Takata recall: I immediately contacted my honda dealer about the driver side airbag recall on 3/24/15. Of course I wanted to be put on a list for priority, expecting first come first serve, in the absence of any other known orderly approach to this nightmarish ordeal. However when I contacted the local dealer and the national honda hotline 6/21/6 for an update, neither could provide any new insight whatsoever after 3 months had passed. This is not acceptable. A manufacturer can provide some at least remotely accurate delivery estimate update and disseminate that info. Also, someone is responsible for acquiring that info, coordinating with other entities and disseminating that info. Rather important with lives at risk. If these parts actually start to trickle in, we, and everyone involved, needs to know time frames, and if there is a system of some sort in place ,so that dealers can provide a better answer than "I don't know", and the customer can know that they haven't "fallen thru the cracks" which is pretty common in the real world. Thanks

The federal safety agency recall 16v‑061 honda campaign number jy1 I've been trying to deal with a local dealer but they will not respond to my messages
Takata recall ithaca carshare is a small non-profit organization serving 1,400 community members with 25 vehicles available for self-serve reservations on a 24/7 basis. Six of these vehicles are honda fits affected by the takata recall. For the safety of our members and liability purposes, we removed these vehicles from service on april 4, 2016. We have spoken with both our local honda dealer and honda corporate multiple times, and thus far both have refused to provide any compensation for the loss of revenue caused by these vehicles being unsafe to drive. Each vehicle requires installation of specialty hardware for our use, so substitute vehicles provided by honda (which have not been offered) are not an option for us. As each day goes by, we lose $250-300 in revenue, so as of this writing we have lost over $3,000. As a small non-profit, this recall has a huge effect on our budget. We expect that our losses will total at least $10,000, if not more. Failure of honda to provide compensation for this loss is both inconvenient and unacceptable. We continue to seek compensation for this loss and request any assistance you may offer on our behalf.
Takata recall. Honda tried to increases my exposure by sending me to car rental business which willingly places a $100 hold on my visa and then increases my exposure to cost via "loss of service". I did not accept. I called the dealer "scott robinson honda", torrance, ca and honda corporate 800‑999‑1009 both ext. 4 and 7 to no avail. I requested management at honda corporate call me as I needed to speak with a person who had authority on 04/06/2016. Honda corporate has not returned my call as of today 04/09/2016. Our 2011 honda fit sits in the driveway since 03/31/2016 with mileage stopped at 23,730, waiting for parts to address takata recall. My request is honda supply a honda car at zero cost and exposure to this customer!
Takata recall I was notified that my vehicle had a recall on the driver side airbag and not to drive it. I do not believe honda will be able to remedy this defect within a reasonable amount of time. I was told the parts may be avaliable in late summer of 2016. They have offered a rental, without the optional insurance coverage, but I would prefer if they offered a buy back on the vehicle.
Takata recall honda is telling me that it may be a month or more before they will replace the defective part. They verified that my VIN number shows my car is one of the recalled vehicles. I asked about a replacement car, and they said I would have to rent a car on my own, for a month or more, fill out a request and they might cover some of the cost. I work approx. 18 miles from home. I depend on my car. Eight deaths and over 100 injuries have occurred in the us. They won't even return my call for a business day or two. I have missed work today. I was in an accident in 2011, the other driver was completely at fault, and my airbags deployed, and my car was totaled. That is when I bought my present car. I am afraid to drive my car without the repair, and I can't afford to rent a car for over a month so I can continue to work. Is there any chance the federal safety agency will allow the dealership to deactivate the airbags in my car until they can be repaired? Can they be deactivated? I would rather drive without airbags, and using safety belts,than with the threat of being hit by shrapnel from my airbag.
I hydroplaned, going 10 MPH under the speed limit, hit every quarter panel along the guardrail (including a head-on collision with the guard rail), and out of 10 airbags, not one deployed. I felt like I was bounced around the car like a rag doll (yes, I was wearing my seatbelt). Car was totaled, I sustained shoulder, neck, and wrist injuries, but was shocked that airbags did not deploy.
The car in front stopped on the highway because of another driver swerving to exit. This caused my car to rear-end the vehicle that was stopped directly in front of me. My car suffered severe damage to the front end. The airbags did not deploy!! Upon looking at the damage after the accident, you could see that both airbag sensors were physically pushed back into the engine compartment. They were both clearly hit, yet neither deployed the airbags. Thankfully no one was injured. I was extremely lucky. With that said, what good are airbags if they don't deploy? Especially in a severe front-end collision? Makes no sense to me.
