“Takata recall - I have an older car 2006. I live in south carolina which is hot and humid. I have called two different Honda dealerships who took my information. I assume I am waiting for the air bag replacement to come in. This is for the passenger side airbag. I already replaced the other one. I have not heard from either dealership. I know there is a back log but how do I get priority.”
NHTSA complaint #10944492, filed 2017-01, 100,000 miles“I took my crv in for service at silko Honda in raynham, ma. They diagnosed a short in the driver side airbag inflator. I believe that this issue should be covered because that airbag was replaced 2 years ago as part of the takata recall. I am disappointed that the warranty for this part is only 1 year. I believe that Honda should cover the repair of this safety sensitive issue as part of the ongoing issues with its airbags.”
NHTSA complaint #11269860, filed 2019-10, 158,000 miles“Car pulled in front of me on highway. No time to stop nor was I able to change lanes to avoid him. Hit at between 35 and 40 MPH. No airbags deployed and the seat belt actually broke and was hanging loose out side of car when they removed me. Only my bracing with my arms into steering wheel and legs stopped me from going thru the windshield.”
NHTSA complaint #10609760, filed 2014-07, 73,000 miles“My airbag light sporadically comes on when the car is stationary and in motion. I had my local dealer examine the issue and they said it was due to a faulty sensor in my driver seat belt buckle. The light doesn't come on every time that I drive the car. Some times days go by with normal driving that the light doesn't come on and then there are multiple days in a row when the light comes on.”
NHTSA complaint #10904456, filed 2016-09, 124,000 miles“Takata recall has been the second recall on this vehicle. Two years again I had to bring it in for the same recall, this is an inconvenience to me as it takes time for me to make arrangements. In the past the parts were not made available until the recall had been in place for almost a year. The dealership never called and I had to travel 2 hours to have the car repaired for this recall. Now again another recall on the same part?”
