Takata recall: i was notified only in late spring 2015 of my 08 honda crv. i understand this has been going on for years. i wonder if the dealer in santa fe, nm knew about this when they sold me this used car in september 2015.....6 months before i got the recall notice. i notice a real problem in scottsdale, az need a comp vehicle with room for fold up bike (does not fit in typical trunk and i don't have carrier) and other things.. i will be shuttled to enterprise to settle for a sedan, not similar to my vehicle and have to pay for higher priced rental. dealer said "they can't keep my car at lot until airbag is replaced and it will have to be stored at my home." i live in apartment complex, have 1 parking spot, and can't take off work to coordinate them delivering my car back to my home and then picking up again after repair, exchanging keys, ect. i don't have family/friends here who can help me with all this running around! why should they anyway? it's all really inconvenient while i continue to make payments on car i won't have use of. other things i've been told: 1. "can't help you further, it's a holiday (only time i have off of work) but we can sell you a new car" 2. "we have no idea when the part will come in as it could be months and here's the honda corporated number" i waited on hold 30 minutes to be disconnected and started all over again. 3. "we can request an upgrade on the loaner from honda but it's not guaranteed? corporate said they are not approving upgrades. what's the real answer? 4. "we have to follow what honda corp tells us and have no way of checking when the airbag will be replaced." 5. "don't worry it's happening in humid climates life the south, not here". i believe arizona has had some deaths over this!

Takata recall received notification in spring that my takata airbag was recalled and needed to be replaced immediately, and i would receive notification from the dealer as soon as airbags were in stock and available for replacement. i never received notification (including to date.....several months later). when i scheduled routine maintenance on my crv in june, the online system asked me if i also wanted to reschedule to have my airbag replaced at the same time. i did, and received confirmation that was part of my scheduled appointment. when i went for my maintenance appointment, i was informed that there were no airbags and they didn't know why i had requested to have it replaced because they had not notified me any were available. i was again told they would let me know when there were airbags in stock and i could schedule an appointment to have the work done for the recall. i still have not been contacted that any are available and that i can schedule an appointment to have the recalled, dangerous airbag replaced as part of the takata recall.

Takata recall; called 888-234-2138 on 6/2/16 and spoke with hosea, who assured me that i would be contacted in early july 2016 to have my airbag replaced, he told me that there was also a recall on the door actuator and that both would be addressed and fixed at the same time. i'm still waiting on the call ... this is totally unacceptable!!!!!!!!!!! honda claimed to have concerns for my and my family's safety,but this is a sitting time bomb and i assure you, legal action will be taken if any injury is incurred. this is my primary car and i have no other choice, but to continue driving it. please do what was promised and take the necessary action to correct this!

I received a notice of recall in december 2015 telling me of the danger that exists in my honda's airbags. however, the letter stated that the parts would not be available until june 2016 and to contact my dealer at that time. i called on 06/01/2016 and was told the parts had to be ordered. it is now 07/25/2016 and i still do not have a replacement. now i have a second recall about passenger airbags degrading and have over-aggressive combustion. the amount of stress that these letters cause about possible death yet we can't get problems fixed for over seven months is unacceptable as my vehicle is my only mode of transportation.

Takata recall -- dealer does not get parts for recall repairs. needs incentive to make this a priority. *i received a notice in the mail in march/april 2016 saying that my car was subject to the takata recall, the required parts were on backorder and would be in june 2016. *at the beginning of june 2016, i called open road honda in edison and was told that they were waiting for parts and i would be called shortly. * i received an email from cnn with an urgent message saying that the recent airbag recall was a serious life safety issue to drivers and passengers -- more serious than originally thought --and the cars should not be driven. *on june 30th, 2016, i called open road honda in edison and was told that the parts were on backorder and would be in 3 weeks. i explained that i had received the notice in the mail in april/june, called in early june, received a cnn email and was very concerned about the safety issue. the honda dealer said that they placed the order for the parts. they told me that a lot of people were involved and there was nothing they could do. *on july 21, 2016, i called open road honda in edison again and was told that the parts were on backorder and they had no idea when they would be in. the manager [xxx] was unable to help me, had no idea when the parts would arrive, and hung up on me. the manager and dealer do not seem to care at all about life safety. they do not think this is their problem. education is needed. they need an incentive to get the cars fixed. can you please assist with information on what i can do to get this car fixed asap. i want to know when the parts will be available so i can have the car fixed and have it be safe. thank you for your courtesies.

American honda did not accept the repair because the vehicle was legally exported to spain when i moved to this country.
