I received a letter in february or march of 2016 alerting me that my vehicle, a 2013 honda fit-sport was subject to the takata faulty air bag recall. The letter asked for a response which was sent in and said that due to extremely large number of vehicles, that I could take no action at the time, but that I would be contacted by the summer of 2016 with instructions on where to get the potentially deadly airbag replaced. It is january 2017. I have not been contacted again.
Takata recall the letter I received was dated march 2016. I have contacted the dealer several times and each time was told to wait for another letter. Now that the recall is 10 months old , I wonder if anything at all will be done. Thanks for reading.

Takata recall. I received the recall notice for my 2013 honda fit in march, 2016. It is now december of 2016 and my dealer has no idea when a new airbag will be available. I think 9 months of driving this car with this airbag is too long to wait for a replacement. Don't know what else I can do about it except to send this note to you.

Manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall
I received notice of the recall in march of this year (2016) that the driver's airbag could if inflated rupture and kill the driver. The letter indicated that replacement parts and repairs would be available by the summer. Having heard nothing else, I contacted honda on 9/23/16 to inquire further and was told it would be another two weeks. Today, 10/28/16 I was told that there was no further information as to when the repair parts would be available, and repairs affected. No other effort on behalf of honda has been made to address concerns as to our safety, as we are still at risk in using this vehicle and no other options are available to us.
Takata airbag recall - I called bell honda in phoenix, az a few months ago and they said they did not have any airbags to replace mine with and they would let me know when they got them. I haven't heard a word from them whereas my sons mitsubishi has had two notifications to bring the car in. What's honda doing and why isn't this resoved yet? People want answers.

Takata recall- in march 2016 I received a recall notice. I called honda at their too-free number and was directed to my local dealer honda of campaign, in savoy il. As of today I have as yet to have the driver's airbag replaced, yet I have contacted the dealer and honda at least three times over the intervening months (since march of this year when honda said "I would be informed by mail when the parts were available"). Interestingly the last time I was at the dealership for regular maintenance they had two 2013 fit models for sale on the used car lot. I asked the salesman "if the cars' airbags had been repaired", and he said "yes". I think the dealership nor honda are following the recall program. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Been trying to schedule replacement of the defective airbag, dealer doesn't know when the replacement bag will arrive and honda motors says they are available for the dealer. Each is pointing a finger at the other one for the reason the part has not been delivered for the dealer to make the replacement. Just want to get it replaced so I can safely drive my car. Need help in getting the airbag replaced as soon as possible. Am I expected to drive an unsafe vehicle until honda and the dealer finally fulfill their responsibility?
Takata recall recall status: recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available so what are we supposed to do while honda is trying to figure out their next step?

Takata recall: on two separate occasions we've scheduled to have the parts replaced. Both times honda called us to cancel stating the parts were not in yet. This has been going on since we received the notice back in march.
Takata recall. Received safety recall in march. It is now october and the part to fix my car is still not available. It has been well past 60 days since I received my recall notice and contacted my dealer.
The account holders believe that american honda has failed and is unable to remedy a defect in our 2013 honda fit within a reasonable period of time - within 60 days from the date we first contacted the dealer for repair. The account holders have made several good faith attempts in person and via telephone on february, 26th 2016 (first attempt document attached); march 10th, 2016, may 20th, 2016, september 7th, 2016, and september 12th, 2016 to have the driver side airbags repaired for our 2013 honda fit lease. Currently, honda has failed to repair the airbags. Please, see attached documents. We feel that our safety has been neglected by honda and would appreciate your help in remedying this issue. Thank you for your help.
Takata recall - this recall has been extremely spurious with an inept corporation running it. I received the safety recall information in march 2016 regarding my 2013 honda fit sport drivers side air bag. I am still waiting the for part to arrived after several calls to honda automotive. I was told honda automotive will pay for a rental vehicle to drive during the over six month part delay (the letter stated the past summer the part would be available). I do not have the place or inclination to let the nitrogen out of my tires, empty the fluid out of the car, and put the vehicle up on blocks in a garage for over six months. When I speak with a dealer or the corporate office the staff is very cavalier regarding my well-being. I do not appreciate someone deciding to play russian roulette with my life especially individuals who act like unfeeling and incompetent robots. Obviously, my family and I am concerned for my safety and I hope to win the cruel game I have been thrown into by honda automotive. I will say I have owned four honda cars including this one. I will not be purchasing another for self-explanatory reasons. No one has the right to devalorize a human being (customer) for profits; however, this act happens daily. - mauigirl300, alcoa, tn, USA
Takata-dealer notified me of recall-had me sign a waiver that I drive under my own peril. Three months have passed, dealer does not have the part and does not know when it will arrive. Dealer tried to have me trade it for 9k, I have a private buyer ready to pay 12,500 but cannot sell it due to the recall. No accidents have occurred as a result.

Takata recall I received notification from honda in march, 2016 stating that replacement parts 'will become available in the summer of 2016' and that I would receive an additional letter from honda. I've never received another letter. Since I live near the coast I am concerned about the higher humidity causing problems with the inflator. It has been 6 months without resolution. This is unacceptable.
