Received the federal safety agency recall 16v‑344 notice (passenger frontal airbag inflator) in late june 2016. Ordered airbag part at michael hohl honda in carson city, nv 7/6/16. Repeated inquiries have resulted in being told the part is not yet available! This delay seems unreasonable.

Takata recall notice of recall received june 2016 in july 2016 I called northwest honda of owings mills to schedule appointment to have recalled part replaced and was told the part was on back order and I would be notified of its arrival via email notification of part arrival in pink card received in the mail on 11/1/16, 4 months after the recall notice. Appointment scheduled with appointment desk at northwest honda of owings mills upon receipt of card for 11/8/16 to replace air bag. Upon arrival at northwest honda I was told the appointment was never scheduled, they were booked and I had the option to wait 2 hours to be serviced. I have waited 5 months for a recalled part to be replaced in my car and after waiting 5 months I am told to wait 2 additional hours after the dealer made a mistake in their scheduling. I requested for the existing defective airbag to be removed and was advised this cannot be done because it is against the law. I requested for the part to be given to me so I can have another dealership install it, I was told they are not allowed by law to do this either. So I am forced to wait for northwest honda to not mess up my rescheduled appointment on 11/21, or get rid of the part which per pink notification will only be on hold until 11/14.

Takata recall. I contacted brown's honda city at 712 north crain highway, glen burnie, md 21061 to address this recall. My initial contact was on 7/8/16. I was given an appiontment of 7/15/16 to have the problem fixed. They then cancelled my appointment and since then they keep putting me off saying they don't have the parts yet. It has been over 60 days since I first contacted them and the recalled parts still have not been replaced.

On june 2015 I bought my vehicle from brandon honda dealer. In december 2015 my vehicle started to give me some problems, alignment, tires, engine, instability when you are driving in the highway. The dealer expected me to pay over 1,000 dollars for the repairs, however they did fixed them at no cost. Now june 2016, one year after purchase my car still having major problems, tires, instability when driving and alignment issues. When I took my vehicle for oil service on june 2016 I expressed that my vehicle was pulling to left so they recommended an alignment I agreed, after 5 hours waiting and me driving away the pulling to the left was not fixed at all I went back to the dealer and demanded them to fixed it, they stated that because my tires needed to be changed that's why it was not fixed, mind you that I already paid over $100 dollars and they told me this after the fact. Now I received a recall and they have not contacted me back to even make an appointment to address this issue. How can a known dealership promised you that the car is reliable and inspected by a certify mechanic and that it will last for at least 5 years and here I am only 1 year from the time I bought my vehicle and I am having car issues that can caused me and my kids life because this vehicle is not safe to drive. I have express this to brandon honda and they have not do anything. Can someone please help?

Takata recall: I am writing to you, in order to ask your assistance. I have honda pilot, with takata recall, but already for a year I am not driving this car, as honda does not give me any answer when the recall would be made. I have registered a claim a year ago, wrote to honda recalls several times (attached file below), also as I made dozen of calls to them. Additionally I have enquired to local dealership in order to seek assistance there, but I did not get any answer and from them. Can you help me with following: 1. Find out the date, when it is possible to make a recall for takata airbags. 2. Can you, please, explain me, who will cover the costs, of honda inactivity for a year, as I cannot drive the car, with faulty airbags.

Your recall is a total fraud. Called honda. Gave info and had appointment to repair (4 weeks after call..they said it would take 7 days to get part). Get to the dealer (manhattan honda)...they take car, tell me that they do not have part but I need over $2000 in other repairs...they will have part in 7 days and will call...now it is 5 weeks later no call..this is total [xxx] and the honda dealer is a crook. This is a total con game!!!!! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

I received a recall notice for the driver's side airbag and had the repair performed in may. In july, I received a second recall notice for the driver's side airbag which clearly states "even if your vehicle was previously repaired, your vehicle is still covered by this recall and will need to be repaired again." however, on checking the VIN number on both the recall website and with my dealership, there are no open recalls shown. Which is correct - that there must be a second repair or that there are no further repairs necessary?

Honda pilot was struck (tbone) at 65 MPH side curtain airbags deployed and driver was knocked unconscious and leaned on the gas. Car went into full rev and crashed into a wall where the front airbag deployed. Homeless man was sleeping behind the wall and was struck by the runaway honda pilot. Shouldn't the vehicle of shut down after airbag deployment? Fuel inertia or cut off did not engage.
Airbag light keep on after the car start up. 2008 honda pilot. No accident involved. Honda said a control module need to be replaced.
I was turning right off of an access road and was behind a gmc yukon. The yukon began to move so I began to accelerate while making sure the way was still clear. The yukon stopped very suddenly and I hit the rear of the yukon. It appears my bumper went under the yukon bumper and I sustained major damage to my 2008 honda pilot. My air bag did not deploy and I was told by the wrecker driver that this was because the sensor in the bumper was not activated. My hand was broken and I received some injury to my neck and chest. It appears that either the air bag failed or there should be a better way to activate the air bag. I can submit picture if desired.
