No problem yet, but i'm told on the recall website that the part is not available yet. this message has been the same since september of 2016 and nothing has changed. i thought this recall remedy was supposed to occur in the fall of 2016. why am i not getting the option to fix this?

Takata inflators honda still has no parts for replacement, has been several years. when will they fix the problem????? recal - 16v-346 16v-056

After fixing takata air bag recall for honda accord 2008 sedan, srs air bag light started coming on and stays on even after the car is in drive mode. gillman honda (sam houston pkwy, houston tx) wants to charge for detection and fixing of the issue. i have written about 2 weeks ago to honda motors america to address this issue since this is a "safety" issue but they have not responded yet. i request nhtsa to investigate since so many honda cars have "srs light come on" issues. in many cases as i have read on online forums and blogs the detection is 1. driver side wire harness problem 2. driver side seat belt buckle sensor. honda motors should cover this issue as a part of lifetime warranty and a safety recall should be issued immediately on honda cars with such know problems.

I took my vehicle to the dealer on 11/22 in regards to an srs ecu recall and was informed that repair would only be completed after a unit failure. according to the honda recall notice the repair should be completed on 100% of effected vehicles as a preventive repair. honda stated parts would be made available in fall 2016 for all effected vehicles. this is an important component for vehicle safety and do not want to take any chances with the safety of me and my family.

Taka recall, my car has had the frontal passenger airbag on recall now for the better part of a year. i am not able to have a passenger in that seat and honda is not available to provide me a replacement airbag to be installed. it was promised to be provided in the summer or fall and here we are almost in november and my car is practically useless. is there no requirements for them to either make the part available quicker or a loaner?

Takata inflator: "honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed." i received the recall notice (16v-346) in july 2016, and as if september 1, 2016, the status was "recall status: recall incomplete. remedy not yet available." it is unfair that honda owners must avoid the front passenger seat of the vehicle for months, and remain uncompensated by the manufacturer. my family had to take a much less fuel-efficient vehicle on two already-planned trips (easton, pa, to erie, pa; easton, pa, to ottawa, canada), as our ony other choice was for one spouse to sit in the back seat of our honda accord. we also have not yet received a remedy for recall 16v-056, another airbag-related issue.

Takata recall untimely replacement of srs ecu - taking months to get this replaced, no date for replacement is available, driving with potentially corroded components and possible lack of deployment of airbags

Takata recall i know a lot of cars are affected by it is taking so long to get my airbags fixed. i have had passengers to sit in the back in fear of having their face mutilated by my air bags which are there for safety, not danger. ridiculous.

Takata recall - have been waiting for weeks for honda to replace my defective airbag. i have made multiple calls to honda. i would like to get my vehicle repaired so that it is safe to have a passenger ride in the front seat asap.

Takata recall dealer has no parts so cant repair

Takata recall*** received notification via mail 7/23/16 that passenger airbag inflator is now part of recall, advised not to drive with passenger until its been fixed, but honda offers no information about when that will be. called honda on 7/25 (next business day) to request alternate transportation, was told to also follow up with local honda dealer. called them, left message with "person responsible for reviewing". after calling for two more days and talking with as many people as possible, local dealer rep stated they can do nothing until national customer service reviews and authorizes loaner vehicle. called national customer service 7/28/16 to follow up on request as no word from case manager. was on vacation the following week so no followup, but no call from honda either. on 8/8/16 (two weeks after initial request), called again to follow up, denise confirmed my request is in the escalations queue and to be patient. i find it beyond ridiculous that honda cannot staff themselves appropriately to deal with this recall situation. every day that goes by, while i wait "patiently" is another day that honda our family risks injury or death from the airbag in our vehicle and is another day that honda doesn't have to pay for a rental vehicle to eliminate the risk of that injury/death. honda is gambling that our vehicle, that has spent its entire 8 years of existence in a priority (humid) location (florida), won't injure or kill us in the meantime, even though they have gone so far as to advise in writing for no one to ride in the front passenger seat. due to our child safety seats in the back for our children, there is no other viable seating position in this vehicle and this is unacceptable. honda is sandbagging the rental vehicle request process. they need to expedite requests for alternate transportation before another person is injured or killed.

2008 honda accord. consumer writes in regards to the statement "what should you do?" listed in the front passenger airbag inflator recall notice. *smd

Takata recall - received a letter approximately 7 months ago informing me of the airbag recall affecting my vehicle. the letter stated that the replacement part was unavailable at that time, but i would be contacted at a later date when it is available. as of march 27th, i have not received any further communication. the "safercar.gov" website says "recall incomplete. remedy not yet available", and a search on the official honda website says that there is "no open recall", so i am unable to replace the airbag. i know that this airbag is faulty and dangerous and i would like to get this fixed asap, but there has been a serious lack of communication on the manufacturers end regarding how to fix this issue and/or how long i have to wait for this repair.

Takata recall: i inherited this car in june and i brought it to huntington honda to to be sure that all was in order, as i was intending to drive the car from new york to louisiana at the end of the summer to give it to my daughter who lives there. i specifically asked the service advisor, darrell raeburn, if there was an airbag recall on the car. he wasn't sure, but after checking with someone else, he said yes, there was both a software and a hardware recall. they performed the software update at that time, and he said the parts for the repair should be in in july. i called the dealership earlier this week to ask the status. i was told there was no recall on my car. i said that was not consistent with what i had previously been told, after which i was then told that the parts were due in the next day, and even though there wasn't a recall they could replace the part for me at no charge. i made an appointment for today (july 28), but when i got there, i was told by the service advisor (dave?) that there was no recall on the car and nothing they would do. i just spoke on the phone with craig scelva, who is some type of top service manager. aside from my complaint about the confusing information and wasted time today, i asked him what the real story is regarding the car and airbag recall. he said there is definitely not a recall, that only if the srs light comes on is there a recall. yet (as i told him), when i enter my vin number into the http://hondaairbaginfo.com website, the result is that there is a recall, number 16v-056, to replace the srs ecu, which may corrode and fail (though it says that if the unit fails the warning light will come on). so at this point i do not know what to believe about the recall status, & i am very concerned about the confusion, obfuscation, or lies which i have been given by people at huntington honda.
