I received notice of the recall in march of this year (2016) that the driver's airbag could if inflated rupture and kill the driver. the letter indicated that replacement parts and repairs would be available by the summer. having heard nothing else, i contacted honda on 9/23/16 to inquire further and was told it would be another two weeks. today, 10/28/16 i was told that there was no further information as to when the repair parts would be available, and repairs affected. no other effort on behalf of honda has been made to address concerns as to our safety, as we are still at risk in using this vehicle and no other options are available to us. *tr

Takata recall my daughter's car was recalled. we called a dealer in dallas, tx where the vehicle is with her at school. she is now driving a rental car until her car can be fixed due to the recall. we were told that the parts are not available until july. the car is parked at her college for the time being. we recently found out that we are relocating due to my job, on or about may 19, 2016. the car can not be driven due to the recall so i contacted honda to see if they would pay to transport the vehicle from dallas to trussville, alabama where we will be living. i received a phone call today and the gentleman told me that honda will not be paying to transport the vehicle. we can not drive it....how are we supposed to get it to alabama? it's not our fault that there is a recall...i feel that honda should do something to accomodate us. the have offered no solution. the vehicle will not be able to stay on the school's property for much longer....our daughter is graduating on may 14th...then we will head to alabama. please help us figure out how to transport the vehicle....we cannot afford to transport it ourselves.

I received a letter in february or march of 2016 alerting me that my vehicle, a 2013 honda fit-sport was subject to the takata faulty air bag recall. the letter asked for a response which was sent in and said that due to extremely large number of vehicles, that i could take no action at the time, but that i would be contacted by the summer of 2016 with instructions on where to get the potentially deadly airbag replaced. it is january 2017. i have not been contacted again.

Takata recall. despite a recall in february, six months later apparently parts are not available, and more to the point no loaner cars have been or are yet available, either from my now-local dealer (yonkers honda, 2000 central park ave, yonkers, ny 10710). when i checked last in june they said parts would be coming in the summer, but still no parts. i am very nervous driving a car that could cause my death in a crash, and don't understand why honda has made loaner car available to some people, but not others (like me).
