Takata recall when i receive the recall notice four months ago i went to herb chambers honda in burlington, ma. they refused to provide me with a substitute vehicle because i have a teenage driver. they told me to call american honda about it - i did, i opened a case, and have never heard anything. i have been calling herb chambers every few weeks but all they would tell me is that they don't have the parts to fix the car. i tried calling honda gallery in reading. they told me they have to order the parts specifically for the vehicle (herb chambers never told me this) and that it will take another six weeks if they mark it 'urgent'. nicole in service said she can't tell me that my car is safe to drive. she did not know if they will give me a rental or not, same reason, i have an 18 year old driver. i feel that honda was perfectly happy to sell me a defective car but is doing nothing to either fix it or provide safe transportation.

Takata recall ithaca carshare is a small non-profit organization serving 1,400 community members with 25 vehicles available for self-serve reservations on a 24/7 basis. six of these vehicles are honda fits affected by the takata recall. for the safety of our members and liability purposes, we removed these vehicles from service on april 4, 2016. we have spoken with both our local honda dealer and honda corporate multiple times, and thus far both have refused to provide any compensation for the loss of revenue caused by these vehicles being unsafe to drive. each vehicle requires installation of specialty hardware for our use, so substitute vehicles provided by honda (which have not been offered) are not an option for us. as each day goes by, we lose $250-300 in revenue, so as of this writing we have lost over $3,000. as a small non-profit, this recall has a huge effect on our budget. we expect that our losses will total at least $10,000, if not more. failure of honda to provide compensation for this loss is both inconvenient and unacceptable. we continue to seek compensation for this loss and request any assistance you may offer on our behalf.

Driver's side airbag recall: i received a driver's side airbag recall in march 2016. i've contacted my local honda dealer, scott robinson in torrance, ca at least 8 times beginning in march 2016 and most recently in august 2016. the first few months scott robinson said parts weren't available and they couldn't provide alternative transportation. finally in august they said they could order the parts and it would take 4-6 weeks for the part to come in, but they reiterated that they can't provide alternative transportation. on august 22, 2016 i called american honda and requested alternative transportation. throughout the week of august 22 - 25 (mon - thurs) i called american honda a total of 4 times as they asked me to call my local dealers (which i two different ones) to try to get alternative transportation and to call them back to escalate my case because of my upcoming trips with my pregnant wife in my car. american honda said they would open a case and get back to me to provide alternative transportation by 8/29/2016. american honda also told me a manager would call me back on 8/25/16 or 8/26/16 at the latest but i never received any calls as of 9/5/2016 (and no missed calls). american honda continues to give me the run-around for a case i initiated in march 2016. they have had awareness that i am driving with a life-threatening defect and are not taking any action, which is criminal.

Takata recall and passenger airbag inflator recall: i originally contacted scott robinson honda in torrance, ca in march 2016 regarding the recall. i was told to wait until june 2016 to contact them to address the recall because they were out of parts. i called them in early july and left two phone messages. i also went to their website and web-chatted with a representative and they said they would get back to me within a day or two. it has been weeks and i haven't heard back from any of my messages. they are ignoring my messages. even if there is a delay in scheduling an appointment they could at least let me know. they continue to disregard me every time i contact them. i am extremely disappointed with the service from scott robinson honda and i'm concerned about my safety.

Received nhtsa recall notice 16v-061 in march 2016. called local dealer and was told that the part was not yet in. called again over the summer, and again today (9/26/2016) and was told that the part is still not in. we believe that this is an unacceptable length of time to correct a safety issue that can cause death and injury to the driver.

Takata recall - i was contacted nearly a year ago (feb 2016), informing me that my airbag inflators were being recalled and that more information would be provided at a later date. i was contacted in may 2016 letting me know that the replacement parts would be available in late summer/early fall 2016, and that honda would contact me again when they were available. i have not heard anything more from honda, and that is unacceptable. my car has been unsafe to drive for the past year, and yet i still need to drive it to get to work. it's time for honda to take steps to replace this part and make my car safe again so i can stop living in fear of getting into an accident and having my airbag inflate and kill me!

While driving my interior began to leak from the seam where the headliner meets the hard plastic on the side curtain airbag. this occurs whenever it rains for lo her than an hour. water runs into the side airbag compartment, drips onto the seat and door window controls. attempt by dealer to replicate was unsuccessful however this leak occurs each time it rains.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda fit. the contact stated that while traveling 55 mph, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle. the contact's vehicle was pushed into a preceding vehicle from the force of the impact. the driver's seat collapsed abnormally and the air bags failed to deploy. the contact sustained injuries to the neck and chest. the vehicle was destroyed. the manufacturer was not contacted and the vehicle was never inspected for the cause of the air bag and seat failure. the failure and the current mileage was 90,800.

A car ran a red light and hit the front of the honda fit. the airbag on the driver's side deployed. the chemical from the airbag caused burns that blistered and peeled and the airbag deployment sprained both thumbs. there should be a warning that the contents of the airbags can cause significant burns when deployed. i have scars on my left wrist and right hand from these chemicals. the first responders and paramedics were unaware that these chemicals cause burns so they did not do anything to remove the chemicals or tell me that they would continue to burn as long as they were in contact with my skin. *js

Our 2009 honda fit sport manual's airbag light came on about a month ago. i took it to the dealer today to have the recall serviced. they mentioned that the airbags were not functioning and we should have that looked at, for a minimum charge of $105 (just to determine the problem!). shouldn't this be a manufacturer defect and safety issue? the light came on without any cause we are aware of - no crash, etc. it just came on. *kb

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 honda fit. while the contact was driving approximately 20 mph, the vehicle rear-ended the vehicle in front of him. there were no personal injuries. a police report was not filed for the incident. there was a deployment of the front passenger side airbag. however, the other air bag systems in the vehicle failed to deploy with the level of impact. the vehicle has not been repaired at this time. there were no prior warnings. the current and failure mileages were 9,000.
