Tl* the contact owns a 2010 honda insight. while driving 30 mph, the brakes failed to stop the vehicle when the brake pedal was depressed. as a result, the contact crashed into the preceding vehicle. the air bags deployed with force and injured the contact's face and lower back, which required medical attention. a police report was filed. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic testing or repairs. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 130,000. *tt*jb

It has been recalled

The inflators were replaced 3/24/16 and 7/29/16. on 7/5/17 my son was hit by a man running a red light. to make a long story short, my son suffered numerous injuries including being knocked out by the airbag and continues to suffer from the concussion - i know the old airbag/inflator would have been worse. also, the seatbelt bruised his chest and the doctor thought he had heart damage. echocardiogram showed everything was fine - just bad chest bruise. my concern is that even though the inflators were replaced they, the airbag/inflator, still caused damage. 14 months later and still having issues with tbi. my son is 5'11" and sits as far back as possible when he drove the car. i'm sending 2 pictures so you can see that the car was destroyed. this is just an fyi.

Takata recall. i have called my dealer multiple times to find out any information regarding getting the airbag replaced and the dealer will not call me back. i have left multiple messages they are left unanswered. this recall came out over a year ago and it still is left undone. the other dealers around the area won't even take a look at it. i do not feel safe driving my vehicle. the dealers should not be treating the customers this way especially when it comes down to safety.

Takata recall. received recall notice, saying that i would be notified when dealer had the replacement parts with an expected date of summer 2016. i emailed the dealership, but have yet to hear from them. the car is currently parked in garage. i don't want to sell or trade until the car is safe to drive, but this has gone on for a very long time. i just checked the honda website. their completion rate is less than 50%, yet they are seemingly very happy with that rate! that's outrageous!

Takata recall, i have two car seats for my son and daughter in the back seat of the car which makes it impossible for us to follow honda's suggestion to not allow passengers in the front passenger seat. honda has stated that they are not providing rental vehicles. i've contacted honda about this issue and been given a case #. however, it has now been 4 weeks since my initial request for a rental car waiver from honda and no one has responded to my claim. upon calling honda on the 11th of august, i was told that no one at their customer service center could access case files. so, now i can't even get an update on the progress.

Takata recall i received my first notice of the recall in march and another in july. the local dealer has yet to have the parts for replacement and just keeps telling me to call at the end of the month every month since march. this is extremely annoying to have limited use of my passenger seat and have no concrete date for a repair.

Takata recall -- tried to schedule repair for driver and passenger side airbags but dealer (pacific honda) said that parts are not available. parts have not been available for the past 4 months.

Takata recall. i received a recall notice rfom honda of america in march 2016 warning of the takata problem. they stated that replacement parts would be available in the summer of 2016 and that i would receive a further notice when they were available. i have not yet received that letter. so i called honda of america and they could not tell me if parts were available. they passed the buck by telling me to call my dealer. i did so and found that parts were available. so i have scheduled the replacement . my complaint is the lack of responsiveness on the part of honda and my dealer. either one should have contacted me when parts became available. why is honda motor still allowed to do business in the usa. they are either inept or crooked!

I received a letter from american honda motor co. inc. in march 2016 notifying me of problems with dricer's front airbag inflator. no accident has ocurred yet.

Takata recall. it has been 9 months since the recall. honda has not sufficiently provided a solution to the issue. their recommendation of having the front passenger seat for such a long period of time is not only unrealistic, it is also inconvenient and ultimately, unacceptable.

Takata recall i was informed of the recall on my car in january of 2016. i called my nearest honda dealership (concord, ca) which said they'd send me a letter when they got the parts. they finally fixed the drivers side airbag in july 2016. at that time, i was informed that the passenger air bag was not replaced and that i'd get another letter in the mail once the passenger parts were in. it's january 2017 now and i still haven't heard anything. i'm moving 6 hours away from home in august and need my car repaired. *tr

Takata recall dealer says it is not receiving parts from honda for this problem. is there any way to urge honda to move faster. i suspect the car may wear out before the dealer receives part to effect replacement.

I was in a very minor accident on 12/6/14 at approximately 6:00 pm in austin, tx (on loop 1 near fm 2222). i rear ended another vehicle. the airbags did not deploy because i was not going fast enough (i guess). however, the computer indicated the air bags were disabled. additionally, the driver's side seat belt was locked making it inoperable. although the car was drivable, the inoperable airbags and seat belt made the car extremely unsafe to drive. being that it was saturday evening, i had no choice but to drive it. i am very upset that honda put me in this situation. according to other honda owners who have had minor front end collisions, this is the standard car response. this needs to be rectified. it is not only a racket that forces honda owners to take their cars to the dealership, it also jeopardizes our safety. *tr

While pulling into a parking place at a neighborhood grocery store, i stepped on the brake and the car accelerated with a huge lunge into the car facing me. if the other vehicle had not been a large van i would have not have been able to stop the car because at that point i lost complete control of my vehicle. just thinking of what 'might have been' is terrifying! in searching the internet i found at least four of these unintended acceleration accounts..... same car, same year, same model. no recall yet but there should be. damage is expected to be around $5k.
