Takata recall, transmission problems
Takata recall: basically I have a huge issue replacing recall items because I live in a remote community with only ferry access. The ferry crossing requires 6 hours each way and a 60 mile drive to anchorage once we reach the mainland. The cost is $460 rt for the ferry and 2 days of pay, a hotel room, fuel, food and overtime for my employee who takes it to a dealership. I'm asking if there is a way to allow our local mechanic to do these recalls??? I have a car rental with at least 12 of these recalls outstanding. It would cost me around $10,000 to get my "free" recalls done. I worry about my liability for renting these vehicles out to the public. I would like some support and guidance as to how to deal with this problem.

Takata recall. I received the notice for the federal safety agency recall 16v‑344 in june of 2016. I scheduled an appointment at waikem honda in massillon ohio to have the recall work done. This appointment was scheduled for the morning of july 9th, 2016. After I made the 40 + mile drive to waikem, I was told that they did not order the part to do the work. I was offered no apology, accommodation, or reasonable solution. When I asked to speak to the service supervisor, I was quite surprised to learn that I was speaking with him already. Disgusted with their complete lack of competence or customer service, I used their phone to call park honda in akron. I let them know what had happened. They got all of my information and told me that they could not help me out that day, but would get the part in, and then call me to schedule an appointment. Five months later I have not heard a thing from either honda dealer. I have attached a screen shot from the service appointment reminder from waikem honda. Thank you for your help.
Takata airbag I took my odyssey to two dealerships and two dealerships lied about replacing the takata airbag. Now, honda is telling me that they don't have airbags and can't do the repair. They never had the airbags, they lied about installing them and I can't even sell this thing legally as it was illegally sold to me, there is not teeth nor time is of the essence in this recall that can and will cause more deaths. You're forcing me to put a date on this ridiculous form so which date do I use? This has been going on for two years! I have filed a complaint for this and apparently it's been lost or ignored. Honda should be fined and should be forced to replace these vehicles! How dare honda tell me that they replaced a part but never did. Repeating for the third time: honda, at two different washington state dealerships, lied about replacing the airbag!

Email before calling, if you do. My phone goes straight to voicemail without my intervention. Third recall notice already took this van to two dealers before this third recall arrived, they lied about installing airbags! Honda endangers us still and you are ignoring it. ...and your twitter account is ignoring any of us reporting takata airbag/honda abuses! This airbag recall has been totally mismanaged. How am I now on my third recall notice after taking it to honda twice before this? If you can't read, can't comprehend and can't figure out that honda is abusing customers and lying about the recall, you need to stand down and give up your jobs because you are not protecting any of us! The airbad has not been replace and I demand to know why! I demand to know what you are doing to force honda to give us our money back on any car, van or truck they put these apparently untested airbags into! Enough! I am out five thousand dollars cash for this van and I am being told: 1. Recall 1 - honda olympia wa, didn't replace airbag, instead they lied and put in a noise filter 2. Recall 2 - fife honda, wa, didn't tell me what was done, they lied about the airbag being replaces as well 3.recall 3 (!!!!) so now I am on the third recall - so what will be done now? I demand to know before I try to find a dealer who will not lie as directed to by honda they are being told to lie so why are you ignoring the fact that they are now sending out a third recall notice to already supposedly fixed vehicles??? Answer me!

On february 14, 2015, I brought my honda odyssey in to a dealer for an airbag recall. Two days after I got it fixed my SRS light came on when in drive and stayed on. I called and made a diagnostic appointment concerning the light. They informed me that the ods unit had failed and that it was listed as a recall as well. I was informed that I would be all set. However when I went to have it fixed I was told it would cost me $146.48. I then brought the part and had it installed by a honda dealership worker. After the repair the light did not off. On april 30, 2016 I brought my car back for the final recall notice and to find out why the light had not gone off. This time they said it was the sensor. They said it was not included in the recall and I would have to pay for it out of pocket. My problem is that my SRS light was not on before they messed with the airbags in connection with the recall. If they misdiagnosed my car and on top of that already made me pay $146.48 for a new opds unit (which at first they said was included in the recall) why should I be responsible for the problem? They caused the problem when the fixed the 'recall'. I am very unhappy and I don't feel safe. With this light being on I feel as though my airbag can deploy at any time, putting my life in jeopardy. I am also a teacher and use my van to transport children from time to time. My safety and the safety of the children are my number one priority. So now I am asking that my repairs be made at no cost to me, because this all started with a recall.

Takata recall. As I was reached a stop zone in front of a school pedestrian crossing on 4/11/16, I heard a loud boom like an explosion on my minivan. The sound was extremely loud and made my ears hurt and I was disoriented. I looked around thru the window and rear view mirrors but I didn't see anyone hitting or any type of collision with any object or erwin. I then felt fabric touching my left arm and saw the side airbags had deployed on heir own. Both driver side and passenger side side airbags were out of the seat and depleted . My 2 year old son was in the second row seat behind me and my 5 year old daughter was sitting on the second row seat behind the passenger side. They were scared and I drove the van to my house about 1.5 blocks away. I have a continuos ringing in my left ear since that day. My primary md has referred me to audiology specialist. Again, the vehicle was at a stop at the pedestrian walkway in front of silverwing elementary school in arey dr. In san diego ca. I have not moved the car from my home driveway afraid that the front airbags could deploy the same way. I contacted honda and they want to toe the car to a dealer tomorrow 4/15/16 to place the diagnostic computer and evaluate what the issue was and how to correct it.
