“Takata recall. I have been waiting over two months for a replacement air bag for my vehicle. Lynnwood Honda has provided a rental vehicle, it does not measure up to my Honda. The dealership has been unable to supply a repair date. Maybe the end of june or july. Is the response. Need some help moving this along. Thanks.”
NHTSA complaint #10875374, filed 2016-06, 5,000 miles“I was stopped in a left turn lane behind another car. A third car came from behind at approximately 40 MPH and hit my car from behind, pushing it violently into the car ahead of me. My driver side airbag did not activate on impact. I suffered facial and arm injuries from striking the steering wheel. I was wearing seat belt and shoulder restraint. My car was subject to prior takata airbag recall and airbag was replaced by dealer.”
NHTSA complaint #11244627, filed 2019-08, 70,000 miles“Never received an air bag recall notice. Found out when I tried to sell the vehicle. Now I cannot sell it. I have been told part(s) are on back order. They gave me a rental car. It has already been one month and it is expected to be at least a year before it is fixed. I need to sell my vehicle now. Dealer says they have a lot full of vehicles waiting to be repaired with airbags so they cannot buy back my vehicle, yet they are allowed to take it on a trade...this is ridiculous. I need to sell my vehicle. Help!”
NHTSA complaint #10893373, filed 2016-08, 51,621 miles“Takata recall. I have been without my vehicle for greater that 3 months. I have a rental that my kids cannot drive despite the fact that I spend literally thousands more in insurance premium to cover them!!!. American Honda of no help. They have no date certain when my airbag will be available. I even offered to return my rental and purchase a new Ridgeline if american Honda would just credit me the cost of the rental - for which they continue to pay - towards the best price I could negotiate on a new Ridgeline at the local dealer. No deal. …”
NHTSA complaint #10882540, filed 2016-07, 33,000 miles“Air went off. Was helping a stuck car in the middle of the road. Lighty pull small civic and pushed him to the side of the road and the air bag went off.”
