“This is the vehicle air bag that could rupture with potential life threatening injury to me or my passenger. This is a leased vehicle owned by Acura not me and no parts will be available until end of summer. You can have this car back and put me in a new lease never mind giving me a rental car to drive around in and continue to make my lease payments on a vehicle I am not even driving in seriously.”
NHTSA complaint #10851555, filed 2016-03“Takata inflators: as I was made aware of the safety issue caused by takata air bag inflators, I followed up with my manufacturer about the options I had. Even after making multiple calls the manufacturer of my vehicle who is Acura dosen't seem to care about solving customers complaints.”
NHTSA complaint #10855196, filed 2016-04“Notified of recall of airbags in feb. 2016 and issue still is not resolved. My lease is ending in october and I am not able to purchase this vehicle due to this air bag issue.”
NHTSA complaint #10902018, filed 2016-08“So as I understand, this recall is a fix that needs to be done, or in the event of the airbags deploying, there is a chance of a life threatening injury...being I work for toshiba medical and I sell equipment that could be a danger to patients and I understand the recall. In my case at toshiba, if a recall comes from the fda, we need to shut down the system until the fix is made. Even if it's less than 1% it gets close up!! Seems that you are willing to let the car be driven until the replacement parts are available. This is unacceptable!! …”
