“Takata recall, I have been waiting for the part since july 2018. This is a safety recall and currently I am taking a major risk by driving my vehicle which I need to get back and forth to work. I am extremely anxious and upset as the dealership has been unable to provide me with any information as to when the part will be available.”

“Driving the car (which was purchased 6 months ago from our local honda dealership) honked the horn on the car coming home from picking up the kids from school. Driving through local streets and all of a sudden the air bag sign came on. Now when I turn car on it states airbag defect and none of the controls work on the steering wheel. The car is my wife's car and she drive my two little boys in it daily. The airbag defect warning is concerning especially reading other owner's complaints in regards to this issues.”

NHTSA complaint #11252533, filed 2019-08, 63,000 miles

“The airbag light went off in the instrument cluster. I hear what sounds like a disconnected cable rubbing against the steering wheel whenever I try to make a turn. All buttons in the steering wheel are non functional after the incident. Really concerned if the airbag won’t deploy and cause fatal or deadly injuries in case of crash. I don’t feel safe driving it in this condition.”
