We keep getting notifications that we need to replace our air bags. Both the left and right bags have been replaced by gustman in appleton, wi. They said that they notified you and I personally have sent paperwork. I refuse to send more and would like to be taken off the list. I will now be destroying this mailing and will not open any more. I will send them back to you

Takata recall!!!!! first it was driver side airbag after separately paying $700 to get mpg back to spec. Airbag: Entered dealer getting 33 mpg, left getting 28mpg. Same thing happened when a repair shop did my emissions test. A friend got mpg again back to spec 33 charged $125 (not $700). Now Honda wants to fix the passenger side airbag!!! wanted $1000 to replace a defective windshield with a new defective windshield. Google search the guy who got four of them!!! safelite charged ~$450. Several people said nothing is "free" about recalls, and I do not want Honda touching my car!!! I have communicated, that I want someone I can trust to do the airbag, to at least 5 Honda representatives and their response is always the same: Silence!... and then more screaming red mail!!!! well I am screaming too!!!!! tell me of an independent non-Honda shop I can take it to, and I will be happy to get this deadly thing out of my car!!!!! now you want a date"???" been harassed and ripped off for years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sick of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I should just sell that deadly pc of junk!!!!! there is more unrelated stuff I could waste your time and mine telling you

I had once own this vehicle in which I was making payments. I had slid on ice and snow one year and went into a ditch and hit a mail box which was attached to a post. There was damage underneath as well as a little damage on the passenger side. The air bag never did deploy and I recently had a notice in the mail that the vehicle may be listed having a defective airbag

While seated in the front passenger seat, the contact noticed that the vehicle was veering to the right. The contact did not recall any warning indicators illuminated. The contact stated that the driver was 84 years old and possibly unaware of what was happening to the vehicle. The contact stated that the driver side air bag failed to deploy, but the passenger side air bags and side curtain air bags deployed. The contact stated that the driver and passenger seat belts were engaged. The driver sustained a broken sternum and the passenger sustained bumps and bruises to both knees and arms. A police report was filed. The vehicle was destroyed and towed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but the vehicle had not been inspected to determine the air bag failure.

Takata recall. I received a letter from Honda in July 2016 alerting me of the recall affecting passenger airbags and that I would be contacted when a remedy was available. As of February 26, 2017, I have not received information by mail of any remedy. Furthermore, I was not made aware by Honda that a recall was implemented for driver air bags.

Honda has replaced the driver airbag but not the passenger airbag. Both the dealer here in il and Honda on the West coast initially indicated that the passenger airbag was not part of the recall - however, they stated they could not tell me what brand or make of passenger airbag was installed. It seemed very strange to me that a car manufacturer who utilizes just-in-time parts installation would have a takata airbag for the driver side and a non-takata (or different model takata airbag) on the passenger side - thus I requested Honda customer service mgr on the West coast contact Honda Japan to determine the exact make/model of the passenger airbag. In early December 2016 Honda customer service stated the passenger airbag was indeed a takata airbag of the type requiring replacement. I was told an additional recall would be forthcoming and that I should secure replacement in 2017. I have checked your safer.gov website with my VIN and the passenger airbag has not been added. Has Honda apprised you that additional airbags require replacement, and if so, when will you update your website to reflect same. The dealer will not replace the airbag gratis until such time as the unit is recalled. Await your advice/update. Thank you.

Takata recall. Honda has not remedied this issue in a timely manner. I was told the matter would be handled in 2016 and it has not. It has been more than sixty days since I was notified of the recall and I have not been able to drive my car with a passenger, which is a tremendous inconvenience.
