I contacted checkered flag Honda on 7/8/16 to schedule corrective action on the air bag recall. I was told that the parts would be ordered and they would contact me when they were received in order to schedule the repair. On 9/2/16, I had not yet heard from them, so I called to see what the status. I spoke with technician [xxx], who informed me that the parts had not even been ordered yet. I just received an email from [xxx] confirming that they are now on order, but to have this action unnecessarily delayed is unacceptable. This is the only vehicle in which I can Transport my severely disabled mother to her many doctor appointments, and the recall directly affects the seat she occupies. I would appreciate anything you could do to ensure the delivery is expedited and the service is completed as soon as possible. Thank you. The number to the dealership we contacted is [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall we have been notified of the problem with both driver and passenger airbags. As of this date we have been told the parts are not available to make the repair. I am afraid of driving my Ridgeline for fear of injury or death. The same goes for the passenger airbag.. also the electrical system could cause a fire. Honda needs to rectify these issues as soon as possible, before someone is injured or killed! they need to fix or replace this vehicle or exchange it for a safe one.

Takata recall notice sent by Honda automobile division July 2016. I called pohanka Honda of fredericksburg as soon as I received the notice and was advised they would call when the parts came in to the dealership. I called pohanka Honda on 08/05/2016 and was advised they would order part and call me when it came in. I called pohanka Honda again on 08/15/2016 and was advised that the part may not be available until Nov 2016. I called Honda automobile division and was advised that part may not be available until in the fall? notice says to not allow anyone to sit in the passenger seat due to danger of severe injury or death if bad inflates! I explained that I use this truck for travel all the time and it was unacceptable to take this long. Customer service rep said she would submit a special request to the case manager to see if this could be expedited. I have heard nothing. Any assistance in getting this expedited would be greatly appreciated.

Takata recall. Received recall notice in early July. Made appointment at livermore Honda for Aug 1 specifically referring to recall notice. Received several emails over a period of several weeks from the Honda dealer reminding me of my appointment and referring to the specific recall. Went to the appointment this morning and was told that the parts hadn't been ordered. What did they think the appointment was for? they said it would be 2 to 3 weeks before the part comes in and they would call me to set up a new appointment. It doesn't seem that the dealer is trying to remedy the defect in a reasonable period of time. It has cost me time and money to say nothing of possible danger because of ttheir inaction.

Passenger air bag recall issue. I was told I can't have any front passengers in vehicle since airbag is defective and it will be at least 60 days for replacement. Our vehicle is the family vehicle and leaves in a bind. We should be compensated with a rental of equivalent value. Honda has refused any compensation what so ever.
