Takata recall. Honda contacted me again regarding the takata airbag inflator. I traded this car into an Acura dealer approximately 10 years ago. I have contacted Honda by phone and mail 5 or 6 times yet they still haven't corrected this. Somewhere someone is driving a dangerous vehicle. I sure they could find this car if they followed up correctly. They are obviously not very concerned about safety.

My side airbags deployed when I hit a very deep pot hole. I took it to the dealer but they said they cannot help because it's not on a recall but there apparently is a problem because the airbags deployed. The airbags are now hanging in my car. If I get into an accident these will obviously not work. Please advise what can I do to get these fixed as it clearly is a malfunction issue.

Takata recall. Took my Honda to get recall done. Got call back that said the recall was done but the airbag light was permanently on due to the recall replacement. They said it was because new part they made did not sync with my seats because they are 'after market' seats"! my Honda was bought brand new by my grandfather at breakaway Honda in greenville South Carolina, and the seats in it are the same ones that came with it when drove off the lot! I now live in North a Carolina and crown Honda of durham nc is refusing to due anything about it saying it's not their problem, and that I need to take it up with the SC Honda location. Take my car to get a recall done and got a car back with airbags that no longer work"! doesn't make sense it me. I now have a car less safe than before.

Takata recall. I was involved in a serious front and rear collision. I was hit from behind while my vehicle was stopped on a city street.the person responsible for the accident did not see the stopped cars and hit me doing approximately 45 mph. I was pushed into the vehicle in front of me at high impact. The airbags did not deploy. I have taken my vehicle to the dealer for all airbag recalls. I was not injured but this could have had a much different outcome.

Both front driver and passenger side air bag curtains that connect to the roof are leaking water into the vehicle when it rains. I'm aforesaid this could affect my airbag in the event of an accident. I never realized this is why my driver seats are wet when it rains.

Takata recall: I received a "SRS ECU failure" recall notice and contacted a Honda dealership for support. They told me to disregard the recall. I went to a second dealership and they replaced one part but had to "order" another. That second part still has not been replaced and it has been over a year now. I have not received a service update or appointment. Is my car safe?

"takata recall". 2008 Honda Accord driver-side takata airbag aggressively deployed upon impact from another vehicle in accident, causing sever injury to driver of Honda vehicle. This occurred on a main highway. There has been no recall of the 2008 driver-side airbag. My vehicle was a total loss.
- Vestavia Hills, AL, USA
Was told in letter that the 2008 Honda Accord has a recalled airbag that could kill or seriously injur you and your passengers. Called friendly Honda of poughkeepsie, NY and they are not giving any appointments for over a week. They are not giving a loaner car until a week. I am concerned that they are not having this car brought in immediately. Waiting for a week for a serious recall to me is dangerous. I pointed this out and there was no change in the date.
