“I live in naples, italy. I have not been able to get my car fixed for the takata recall. In april, 2017, I took the car to the local honda dealer. They ordered the part, but it never arrived. I called honda of america, and they reported that the parts distributor for all of europe has run out of the part I need. It has been six months. How do I get my car fixed?”

“Bought car new may 2008, manual 6 speed. Have had many repairs:brakes x4, antenna, driver's seat molding, air bags, roof molding, front window molding. I still love driving car despite the car gulping quarts of oil and no source of oil loss has been determined. Began having difficulty shifting gears 09/2013. Took to troy Acura told clutch ok. Clutch failed completely about 3 weeks later on I-75, could not get out of 2nd gear. Replaced with Acura parts $1761 repair costs on 10/30/2013. Around june 2014, clutch would either depress rapidly or was very hard to depress at times. …”

“Nhtsa campaign number: 16v346000 no remedy has been offered and it has been eight months. Not allowing a passenger is not a practical solution for this long.”

“I received a takata recall and went to rosenthal Acura to get it replaced. That was completed by rosenthal. I think that was around a year ago. On 04/23/2018 I rear-ended another car. My car was totaled. My speed at impact probably was about 30-25 MPH. The car I hit was stationary. My airbags did not deploy. Why not?”
