I was contacted last summer (2016) regarding a recall on my airbag via a letter in the mail. I called to make a repair appointment with my local Honda dealer, they told me they didn't have the replacement parts in yet and they would call me back when they arrived. I called again in the fall (2016) and was told more or less that they were "busy" and had a lot of cars to repair and I should continue to wait. I called again in the fall 2016 and was told the person handling the airbag recall was busy or unavailable and to call back again. I've received a second notice in the mail in April 2017 regarding my air bag recall. This notice says that if the Honda dealer has failed or unable to remedy the defect in my vehicle without charge within a reasonable period of time (60 days) I can file a complaint. It's approaching nearly a year since I was first contacted and I tried to make an appointment three times with my local Honda dealership to have this air bag replaced. I feel I've been very patient with this recall, as I've had other items recalled over the past year and replacements were made for those items in a much more reasonable amount of time. I find it unacceptable to be put off and told Honda is too busy to make a safety feature repair anything but a top priority.

Takata recall" I just purchased this 2008 Honda Civic from a local used car dealer. This recall has not been corrected on this vehicle according to the recall information I received when I put the VIN # into the system. Should the car dealership have checked this out before selling it. I know I can take to Honda dealership to have it fixed. I was just wondering what the responsible of the car dealership I purchased it from. Thank you [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall (drivers side airbag): On January 10, 2017 at approximately 11am, driver started vehicle, pulled out of a parking lot, drove about 10 feet and the drivers side airbag deployed. No other vehicles were involved in the incident, nor did driver hit or run into any object on the road. Weather conditions were about 35-40 degrees, partly sunny skies. Vehicle was taken to a local Honda dealer, who stated the computer system shows impact conditions caused the drivers side airbag sensors to fire the airbag. After reporting the incident to my insurance company, the insurance adjuster inspected the vehicle at the Honda dealer, reporting the issue as "electronic failure". the adjuster's report also states there was no impact that caused the airbag to deploy. There is a recall for the passenger airbag inflator (NHTSA recall # 16V-346), which was replaced at no cost. However, the drivers airbag inflator is not covered (estimate of repair approx. $3,200). If the driver were 5 more minutes down the road, driver would have been on a 45 mph road. If anyone else has had an issue with the drivers side airbag, please inform the NHTSA.

The recall notice for this passenger side airbag problem recommends not having anyone sit in the passenger seat. It has been 9 months since this recall was announced and my local Honda dealer informs me that Honda still has no solution to the problem. Literally this defect can kill a person in the event of a low speed accident that triggers the airbag. This is a life and death matter and Honda has not fixed it in 9 months! in addition to making my car less safe, this defect presumably lowers the resale value of my vehicle.

Takata recall May 23,2016 manufacturer recall numberka5 NHTSA recall number16V-346 recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available summary american Honda motor co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2006-2011 Honda Civic vehicles. According to the equipment defect notifications (16E-042 and 16E-043) filed by takata, the propellant wafers in some of the subject inflators may degrade over time, which could lead to over-aggressive combustion in the event the airbag is activated. Overly aggressive combustion creates excessive internal pressure when the inflator is activated, which may cause the inflator body to rupture. Honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed. Safety risk in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material possibly causing injury to vehicle occupant. Remedy the remedy parts needed to conduct passenger frontal airbag inflator recalls will become available in late summer/fall of 2016. Honda will notify owners in an initial letter with a second letter being mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact Honda automobile customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is KA5. Manufacturer's notes if the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner, please contact the NHTSA vehicle safety hotline at: 1-888-327-4236 or tty: 1-800-424-9153 or file an online complaint with NHTSA. Honda has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for your vehicle in a timely manner. I haven't received a letter informing me about the availability of the mentioned part(s).

Takata recall - passenger side airbag unnecessary deployment. See description in documents window.

- Salt Lake City, UT, USA

I received a recall notice from Honda dated July 2016 about propellant wafers degrading and says that "Honda suggests that you avoid having a passenger sit in the front passenger's seat until the recall repair has been performed". as of today, January 19th, 2017 they do not have the remedy ready yet according to your website. So my family has had to avoid using our Civic as I don't want to have my head caved in by a defective airbag. The letter states the parts needed would be available in late summer/fall of 2016.
