“Takata recall - I recieved notification on july 17th, 2016 about a recall for my 2010 Acura TSX. I immediately called the dealer for an appointment, I was put on a waiting list for parts and was told it would take 90-120 days for parts. I then requested a different vehicle to drive which was denied. I carpool in my car every day, yet the Acura recall notice instructs me not to use the passenger seat. This is not practical and parts should be made available sooner or a different car provided.”

I continued to gather my things, when suddenly the airbags deployed, hitting my left arm and momentarily deafening my hearing. The car had not been impacted or jarred in any way that may have caused the airbags to deploy. The next morning I drove the car to Acura and they initially said they would repair it. …”

“My car model is one of many honda vehicles recalled in 2019. The car warns me about the airbag and seatbelt malfunctions each time I start the vehicle. I reported to Acura but no answer to my concerns and I'm very frustrated driving my car knowing the airbag may not protect me during accidents.”
