“Takata recall -- I first learned that my vehicle was part of the takata recall in march 2016, when I took the car in for regular service. At that time, the dealership said that parts were not available. They did not instruct me to stop driving the car, warn me of the seriousness of the recall, or offer me a rental. Instead, I drove the car until early may, and then called to check on the status of parts. With parts still not available, the dealership then instructed me to stop driving the vehicle and put me in a rental. …”

“I purchased my 2014 honda Acura RDX from vandergriff Acura in 2014. I have received a safety recall on it for faulty airbags. My husband and I are retired, and are very worried about our car we can't drive. We did get a rent car. In the recall letter, it states we should get the airbag installed by the summer. I have an email from an employee of vandergriff Acura, that it might be fall before we get it installed. Right now, our beautiful car is sitting in the garage, has been for 1 month. We really can't imagine it there until fall? Is it hard on a car to leave it like this? …”

“My 2014 RDX does not show to have an open recall based on my VIN but I am receiving an airbag warning and the make and model of my vehicle is included in the recall. I called the dealer where I purchased the vehicle and they said they don't have to honor the recall to replace the airbags. When I look up the warning message, my safety could be in jeopardy and this is my only vehicle. …”

“Takata recall - my complaint is because over 2 months have gone by since the first time (may 05th) I contacted the Acura dealer in order to schedule the air bags replacement. They have failed to solve within 60 days of our first attempt to schedule remediation. We were appointed a loaner but that just seems to make Acura lose the sense of urgency for the remediation.”

NHTSA complaint #10884558, filed 2016-07

“Takata recall - I received a recall notice(NHTSA recall 16v-061) in march 2016. As of today, no additional information has been received in regard to the status of this issue. We are approaching 6 months, which seems excessive given the danger that the airbag deployment could cause.”
