“Takata recall american Honda motor company is responsible for the vehicle rental I required for the 76 days my car was not drivable. Ahmc initially stated they would reimburse the $35/day rental charge. They have refused to pay the $2660.00 rental fee that I incurred. Multiple phone calls to ahmc have been ignored. I ask NHTSA to hold Honda accountable.”

NHTSA complaint #10978971, filed 2017-04, 71,999 miles

“Takata recall when I crank the car with no passenger the passenger side air bag light is on for a second and then goes off saying there is someone in the seat when there is no one there. I checked my VIN for recalls and it says there is none but I put a blue driver tester on it and it says the recall is still there.”

“Takata recall - I am the first and only owner. I did not receive the recall letter. I went to a Honda dealer to duplicate a key and found out about the recall on my crv. They say it will take more than one month to get the recall done. This is unacceptable delay for such a serious defect.”

“I have called 2 different local Honda dealerships in the hartford area and both have not called me back in regards to getting a rental vehicle or receiving the airbags for the recall. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle with my 3 year old son in the car knowing there is a defect.”

NHTSA complaint #10918484, filed 2016-10, 165,000 miles

“After having the passenger airbag replaced due to the recall, the srs light came on which means that in the event of an accident, the airbags won't work anyway. Dealer said it could cost $1500.00 that I would have to pay. I'm not happy about this and think Honda should fix it.”
