“Takata recall Honda of seattle already replaced my takata airbag. I was driving and hit (t-boned) another vehicle that ran a stop sign. The new airbag smoked but didn't inflate until after I was out of the car. My body hit the steering wheel, bruising my chest and stomach. Seattle police dept incident #19-283454”

NHTSA complaint #11241897, filed 2019-08, 37,365 miles

“Takata-dealer notified me of recall-had me sign a waiver that I drive under my own peril. Three months have passed, dealer does not have the part and does not know when it will arrive. Dealer tried to have me trade it for 9k, I have a private buyer ready to pay 12,500 but cannot sell it due to the recall. No accidents have occurred as a result.”

NHTSA complaint #10910021, filed 2016-09, 14,500 miles

“Takata recall. I received the recall notice for my 2013 Honda FIT in march, 2016. It is now december of 2016 and my dealer has no idea when a new airbag will be available. I think 9 months of driving this car with this airbag is too long to wait for a replacement. Don't know what else I can do about it except to send this note to you.”

“Takata recall the letter I received was dated march 2016. I have contacted the dealer several times and each time was told to wait for another letter. Now that the recall is 10 months old , I wonder if anything at all will be done. Thanks for reading.”

NHTSA complaint #10944448, filed 2017-01, 18,600 miles

“I received a letter in february or march of 2016 alerting me that my vehicle, a 2013 Honda FIT-sport was subject to the takata faulty air bag recall. The letter asked for a response which was sent in and said that due to extremely large number of vehicles, that I could take no action at the time, but that I would be contacted by the summer of 2016 with instructions on where to get the potentially deadly airbag replaced. It is january 2017. I have not been contacted again.”
