“Takata recall our dealer has been telling us that we're 2 weeks from replacement for 14 weeks. I now suspect that they have no intention of respecting the recall,and am contacting any agency that could help,including our state's consumer affair department and Honda of USA. It is a shocking treatment of such a critical matter!”

“The recall of this important safety part was issued in february it is now late september and I am unable to replace this part. No one at the dealership can tell me when this part will be in. My safety is at risk. I am very unhappy with the customer service regarding this recall.”

NHTSA complaint #10909868, filed 2016-09, 42,023 miles

“Takata recall - I received the notice for the passenger airbag recall in july 2016 and called to follow up with the notice. I was told that the part would be in within a month, but have followed up multiple times regarding this because the part has been backlogged. It has been over 60 days since my initial phone call relaying my concern with the safety of this car. Honda has failed to remedy this situation within a reasonable timeframe. All they tell me each time I call is to wait until the part comes in. …”

“I am traveling out of state for several months and Honda does not guarantee reimbursement for rental charges I incur making it so I have no vehicle to drive.”

NHTSA complaint #10872833, filed 2016-06, 20,000 miles

“Takata recall Honda offers to provide a rental vehicle to the owners of the affected cars until it has the remedy parts to fix the driver's airbag sometime in summer 2016. However: 1) Honda does not provide insurance on that rental vehicle and expects the customers to pay for insurance. Insurance on rental vehicles is expensive ($30 a day or so). I believe pushing that expense to the customers is unacceptable. 2) Honda does not authorize a second driver on the rental it provides, which is not the way family cars are used. I believe this is also unacceptable. Thank you,”
