I have been trying to get honda of kirkland, washington to repair my airbags since september of 2016. they keep putting it off and now they say they can't do it until the end of may. that is over an 8 month wait, honda is the one that told me i needed the service.
There are two recall notices for this vehicle related to airbags, but honda says that the remedy is not available yet. car was involved in a crash. vehicle was moving at the time on a city street. the car had substantial damage. interior airbag did not deploy. value of car is reduced due to this defect that cannot be remedied, and i believe that honda should reimburse me for my loss in value due to the defective nature of the car.
Takata recall i received a letter notifying me of the recall in march 2016. it said that the parts were not yet available and i would receive a follow up letter when they became available in summer 2016. i never received a follow up letter as of february 2017.
Takata recall i was notified on march 2016 about the takata recall. i called my local honda dealership in september 2016 to have this issue resolved. at that time, they informed me that they didn't have the parts to resolve the defect. i have yet to be contacted about a fix for the defect.
Takata recall: i contacted berkeley honda to get this recall fixed. a sales person contacted me to try to sell me a new car but the service department never returned the call. i called them back and they supposedly ordered the part but never advised me if the part was available. further calls not returned. contacted oakland honda who said they had the parts but refused to make an appointment - said it's first come, first served. i'm an elderly woman and not well. i cannot be expected to show up and either wait and wait or find out that there is no part available when i get there. i called san leandro honda - left messages but they never return the call. please have someone take care of this! it's not good service at all and not realistic to have me never have a passenger while i'm waiting for this to be resolved.
I received a notice regarding the driver's front airbag inflator recall in february of 2016. the letter stated that parts will be available to repair the recall in the summer of 2016. it has been 9 months, and the manufacturer has failed to provide a remedy in a timely manner.
