Takata recall - when I called the Honda dealership in ames they said they could not find my information in their data base. After I gave them my phone number, name, and VIN number. It was not a pleasant experience. I would also like to complain about the brakes on my truck. I took it to the local mechanic and he could not get the brakes adjusted to where there was not very much play in the pedal. You have to push down a long ways for the brakes to engage. It is a big safety issue.

I just took my truck in for the airbags recall about 2weeks ago, October Q2th, 2017. Since I've gotten it back the windshield wipers don't work as good as they dud and I just put new wipers on before I took it into auto nation Honda in columbusga. Now there's a greasy film on the windshield that I can't get off. Also there's another recall the dealership didn't acknowledge, fuel pump relay, so there's a recall for my truck for that part and hasn't been taken care of so I feel my safety is at stake, I also have a 4year old daughter.

Takata recall - I have been on the waiting list since July 2016 and Honda has refused to give me a rental in the meantime. They have never even called back to let me know a status update or when they expect to have the part in. Now they sent me another notice to get it fixed, as if I haven't been waiting nearly 9 months for them to fix it.

Ridgeline 6-cyl

  • 78,000 miles
While driving about 50 miles an hour, I came upon a curve too fast which caused me to slide off the road slightly. I corrected my error and in doing so, both side curtain airbags deployed prematurely. No other air bags deployed and there was no damage to the vehicle. The dealers report stated that the vehicle sensors thought a rollover crash was imminent which caused the side air bags to deploy. There was no damage of any kind to the vehicle and the side air bags should not have deployed. America Honda says they have no responsibility or obligation to correct this defect.

I received notification in July 2016 via a letter from Honda of a recall for airbags in my 2006 Honda Ridgeline. I promptly contacted my local Honda dealership in carson city, nv. It is now October 31st and after almost 3 months, 5 attempts to schedule and one cancelled appointment by the dealership I am still on a list. The recall is described as metal fragments becoming projectiles if the airbags are inflated therefore possibly causing injury. There is only one Honda dealer in the local area.
