“I believe my VIN # should be included in the recall for drivers air bag. I have had the drivers air bag fixed jan 2019 and now will have to have it fixed in a couple weeks as the air bag lights are going on again for the drivers air bags. I see there are recalls for 2013 Acura ILX but for some reason my VIN # is not coming up. Please investigate further.”
NHTSA complaint #11246647, filed 2019-08, 54,500 miles“I went in for a airbag recall back in 2016 I got in a car accident on 7/30/19 which totaled my car but my air bags never deployed which caused a injury to the left side of my head from me hitting the steering wheel . Police said the airbags should of deployed from how bad the accident was .”
NHTSA complaint #11240836, filed 2019-07, 102,000 miles“Takata recall. Acura called me mid april stating that parts had been ordered to fix the recalled airbags of my car. I called in july to determine when the parts would be in and they said they didn't know. That was over 90 days ago. I'm starting to wonder if Acura really has the parts available.”
NHTSA complaint #10892316, filed 2016-08, 49,000 miles“Takata recall: I feel that Acura is not sufficiently remedying the problem. I have contacted my Acura client relations case manager on multiple occasions since receiving my original notice on march 14, and have not received a call back. I coordinated with my Acura dealer a loaner car, but they put me in a non-comparable enterprise rental car. I was also coerced into agreeing to store the recalled vehicle on my own because the dealer doesn't have space to store it for the 2-3 months while the part is being produced. …”
NHTSA complaint #10852698, filed 2016-03, 32,125 miles“My airbag deflator every year has a malfunction and I can't pass my inspection. This is the 3rd year in a row that this happens to me. No accident, as soon as car starts up asks to check airbag system.”
