Problems with 2007 Honda Fit AIR BAGS

Nothing actually "happened" while i was driving the car. my airbag light went on and would not shut off, so i visited hennessey honda in woodstock, georgia, for service. i am perplexed that i need to replace a passenger airbag for almost $700. a recall was issued three years ago, and i had a canister replaced on the 2007 honda fit, due to a recall. last week i looked on the nhtsa recall list and found the passenger side airbag inflator recall list from june 27, 2019, and the 2007-2008 honda fit is listed. when i put in my vin into the list, it indicates that i have 0 recalls. i don't understand why i would not qualify for the recall repair. if the airbag product was defective, i should not have to pay for the repair for a new one. i wanted to file a complaint to make sure nhtsa knows that these airbags still need repairs, and perhaps honda should be pressured by nhtsa to complete these repairs free of charge. thank you.

Takata recall. received a recall letter in the mail from american honda. took the vehicle to stevens creek honda one month ago. the told me that they would need approval from honda to do the recall. still have not received an approval to get the recall done. is there anything you can do to help me with this situation?

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 honda fit. the contact wanted to file a complaint against the manufacturer. a manufacturer representative at the recall center advised the contact that the frontal driver side air bag needed to be replaced. the scheduling department refused to schedule an appointment to have the air bag replaced. the dealer (rick case honda, east 200th street, euclid, ohio, 216-416-6700) stated that the frontal driver's air bag would eventually need to be replaced. the contact also stated that the driver's air bag was replaced by the previous owner of the vehicle. the contact had not received a recall notification. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified. the contact had not experienced a failure.

Takata recall srs light came on at almost 113,000 miles with code 11-10 for driver side airbag inflator. all open recalls for this vehicle have already been completed. the driver side airbag was recalled in fits from 2009-2014. only the passenger airbag was covered by recall in 2007 fits.

I recently was involved in a head on wreck, totaling my car. the airbags never deployed although the car was a complete loss from the frontal impact. i was moving forward in a 45 mph zone, as someone ran a stop sign to my right. i was driving on a straight highway, on the inside lane.

I own a 2007 honda fit sport and just yesterday while the car was parked and not running, i went to start it to leave work and the eps indicator light came on, steering wheel locked and car would not start. was told a few things to try; bypassing battery cables clearing the circut, checked the fuse and neither worked(worth a try just to say we did so we would know). finally had it towed to automotive shop, left over night only to find out the car started right away with no warning light on (eps indicator) for the mechanic. they drove it around, turned off, restarted and it started right up. also hooked up to their code tool and no codes came up. my concern here is that this will happen again to myself, my 16 year old son, my 13 year old son riding as a passenger, or other passengers while driving (our only form of transportation) and cause an accident, harm, injury, or possibly death to ourselves and others around us. this is not safe and honda should fix this issue regardless of how old the vehicle is or the mileage. it's a hazard to every life!

Takata recall honda replaced the passanger airbag, but not the driver side. they said it wasn't a takata inflator. this did not make sense to me. today (6/12/18 ) on the news they said millions of the airbags are still a serious problem and have not been replaced. i just want the truth about my car, why would they put a takata bag on one side and something else on the other????

Was in an accident after recall in which the front end was crushed completely and none of the airbags opened recently took car in for recall prior and complained about other concerns with car at dealership

Takata recall: i made an appointment to get my passenger-side airbag fixed, but since i live an hour away from the dealership, i was going to have to drop the car off the night before. when i asked gunn honda for a loaner car, they refused. they said they don't give loaners for recall repairs, especially when it's one that "doesn't affect the use of the car." they said, "you don't have to get this recall done. just don't let anyone ride in the passenger seat." i called american honda (corporate). the three people i spoke with were terrific, and a loaner was secured at gunn honda as a result of corporate's intervention. when i arrived at gunn honda, the first thing that [xxx], my service advisor, said was, "oh, you're the one with the loaner. you called corporate." he went on to say, "yeah, she was mad when she called." i replied, "i'm not surprised. i was too. but it looks like it's all getting taken care of, so that's good." he then said with a smug smile, "well, she's in big trouble because we don't do that, ...

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2007 honda fit. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v344000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. the contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. the manufacturer was made aware of the issue. the contact had not experienced a failure.

Takata recall the letter we received from honda in march 2016 stated, "the remedy parts needed to conduct driver's airbag inflator recalls will become available in the summer of 1016. honda will send you another letter when parts become available to repair your vehicle." we never received another letter, but heard from a friend that she called her dealer and got the replacement installed. we contacted our dealer who installed a replacement october 13th. however, i suspect that other persons are waiting for another letter from honda and have not had a replacement yet.

Takata recall. first contact with dealer (honda and subaru of santa fe, nm) 7/30/16. informed that parts were not available. second contact 8/30/16 with same result. now 70+ days since initial contact with dealer. no reply from dealer as of 10/10/16. inconvenience of limitation of use and possible injury or death makes unresponsiveness of honda and dealer grossly irresponsible.

Takata recall honda is not resolving my alternative transportation needs while they deal with their recall issues. they gave me a rough estimate of 2019 for replacement parts to fix my explosive airbag. i have waited a week now without a phone call from the department i was instructed to call and i am not being able to safely use my vehicle. this situation is now costing me personally on many levels, both in safety and financial means as i can't use my car. i am asking the government for help by filing this complaint.
