Recently reported AIR BAGS problems on 2008 Honda CR-V

Takata recall. i got a notice about the passenger side air bag. i called to get it repaired but the dealer does not have the part and will not provide a loaner car. the only thing they suggested was to not let anyone ride in the front seat until they get the part and no one knows when that will be. school starts next week and i have 4 kids ages 7 to 13 that i have to drive to school. one child sits in the front seat. i do not have another car. how am i going to get these kids to school? not having anyone in the front seat is not a solution to this problem. i called honda and they assigned a case worker and said they would call back someday but they could not say when but could be over a week.

Received recall notice in spring 2016, called my dealer, was told parts coming in this summer & would call me. rec'vd another recall notice end of july '16, called dealer (kay honda eatontown) and they still don't know when parts are coming in. this many months to have recall repair parts not in is unacceptable.

Takata recall earlier in the spring our honda crv was part of the massive driver side air bag recall. basically was told that if it deployed, it may kill us with tiny pieces of flying metal. we spent months dealing with honda and rentals through them that we had to argue over and keep exchanging. hours and hours of work that my husband took off so he could drive halfway across atlanta each time to deal with rentals and honda. finally got our car back early this summer. yesterday i got a new recall notice from honda. this time it's for our passenger side airbag. basically the same thing, if it deploys it may kill you with metal fragments. this time when i called honda to find out the deal i was told, "the part is on backorder. we will order it but we don't know when we will get it. until we do we suggest that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger seat." seriously, this is what they said. nope they won't help us with a rental, just don't sit in the front because if you get in a wreck the airbag that is supposed to keep you safe may kill you with flying metal fragments. for our family of 4, this "avoiding the passenger seat" is not an option. with 2 booster seats in the back there isn't space for an adult to sit, so basically they've rendered our main vehicle unusable. but refuse to help us in any way. i've made multiple calls to honda headquarters and have "tickets" in place to request alternate travel assistance (rental) but was told that they are, "pretty backlogged with requests right now so i don't know when they will get back to you." seriously.

Takata recall - i first received a recall letter from honda regarding the airbag recall form 2008 crv last winter. the letter said parts would not be available until summer, and they would notify me then as to replacing the airbags. i began calling two local dealers who said they did not have the parts, but would notify me when they do. meanwhile, i have to keep driving the "unsafe" vehicle. i continue to call them, they do have my information on file, and i make them verify that by giving me the vin number each time i call so i know i am in the queue. meanwhile, today i received a letter from honda saying it is important that i respond. do i still own the vehicle? they have my vin number. i would hope that when the dealer records it in the waiting list, the data would be uploaded to honda's database. apparently not, the number is on the letter. but that's just one of the many annoyances. my biggest issue is that i have a vehicle that they are telling me is very unsafe for me or a passenger, yet they expect me to continue using this vehicle until they decide to fix it.. i would think they have huge liability. in addition, a friend had the airbags replied in her civic last winter at the same dealer, diamond valley honda in hemet, california. what is this? please look into this. in spite of honda's pr efforts (and money spent), neither they nor the dealer display any true sense of urgency in protecting the safety of the owners. i have owned only honda vehicles since 1980, and sorry to say this definitely taints my loyalty.

Takata recall: received a recall notice in april 2015 advising to not drive car until drivers side air bag was replaced. honda provided a rental car until repairs were completed. (approx 3-4 weeks.) july 2015 receive another notice that the side bag is needing replacement and that no one should sit in the passenger front seat until repairs have been made. the letter said late summer or early fall is the date repairs will occur.called honda and they said they do not provide alternate transportation for passenger seat issues and passengers should sit in the back. i told them that i have 5 members in my family and in a 5 passenger car, someone must sit in the front passenger seat. they told me they would assign a case number and someone would get back to me. that was 3 weeks ago and 6 phone calls to honda and no one has gotten back to me at all. they even had the nerve to say that my case was expedited. it is not safe to drive this car this way and honda should be required to provide alternate transportation until their car is made safe. how many deaths and injuries would justify this expenditure. please help as i am not the only being treated this way by honda, and it needs to change.

Takata recall. i received the notice in march 2016, called several dealers in april and was told part would be available in summer. i was told that since it was registered to a business that vehicle wasn't subject to special consideration (if i complained to manager they might be able to do sooner?). received another notice july, 2016 and called dealer july 25th and still no parts available. this is not within 60 days or a reasonable period of time. this vehicle is not a business vehicle though it is registered in a business name (traditional foods). thank you. *tr

Takata recall. slow response. i contacted my dealer (huggins honda, n. richland hills,tx) on april 12, 2016 for an appointment. they "do not have the parts." they have failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable period (60 days from the date i officially contacted them for an appointment.) what should i do? please advise. thank you.

Takata recall. i am complaining about the way honda has handled my passenger airbag recall. the driver side recall they handled promptly. but as for the passenger side: i have been calling honda headquarters for 6 weeks to try to get someone to authorize a rental. our family is too large to squeeze into the back seat, what with transporting children to sports practice and school. i have been calling honda since the third week of july, so far i have yet to speak to a manager. i believe honda has failed to remedy the defect within a reasonable period of time.

Takata recall - over the past few months, i have received two letters from hionda. the first alerted me that my vehicle was being recalled because of the airbag issue, but parts weren't currently available to fix it so they would notify me in the future. this month, i received another letter from honda again notifying me of the recall and stating that parts are still not available and they will notify in late summer/fall when to bring the vehicle in. the letter also suggests avoid having any passengers sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall has been performed. this is crazy. i am supposed to not allow front passengers for some unspecified amount of time they won't provide. essentially, if i follow their suggestions, my vehicle has become a 4 passenger instead of 5 passenger vehicle. it appears they are just trying to cover themselves legally regardless of how impractical their recommended action is.

Takata recall april 8th i brought my car into honda for a repair due to the recall, received a rental. july 13th ray price honda serviced the car and fixed the drivers side air bag july 17th the car was ready for pick up and i was informed that the passenger side airbag was not fix and the part would not be in till a later date. *** this was not communicated to me until my drivers side was fixed and ray price told me i had to turn in the rental vehicle per honda and bring the car back into service at a later date july 17th i called honda and reported the problem. i stated that i am extremely upset and that it is unacceptable to be given a vehicle that is malfunctioning. it is complete negligence that honda is willing to put potential passengers at risk in the car knowing the airbags caused prior injury and even death. i am extremely angry that honda is asking me to also accept liability of having a passenger in the seat because of this recalled item. if someone is in my car and is hurt or dies i am responsible and the court system could prove negligence on my behalf. ***for work over the summer i transport children to different actives and not using the front seat is not an option when i have a full car load. i am a single individual that does not have access to another car and i refuse to accept this negligence and expect to hear from someone soon. my case number is 04840827.

Takata recall: we received the recall notice in march. called service and told to call back in the summer. we called in early july and were told 1 bag would be a week or two and the other bag would be several months. called back on 7.16 and we are now being told it will be at least another month. when a recall is executed, the parties involved should be prepared to service the vehicles immediately. there should be a plan.
