PRIOR TO YOUR RECALLS ON TAKATA AIR BAGS. THE LAST 2 YEARS MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN GOING BACK AND FORTH WITH THE HONDA DEALER SHIP REGARDING MY AIR BAG LIGHT STAYING ON, THEY SAID THEY COULD CHECK IT OUT BUT WOULD CHARGE $14900.FOR A DIAGNOSTICS FEE. MONEY I DON'T HAVE. MY VEHICLE IS IN MY DAUGHTER POSSESSION WHO ALSO HAS 2 KID AGES 6 AND 9. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULD DISCONNECT THE SWITCH SO SHE WOULDN'T HAVE TO SEE IT. THAT IS NOT THE ANSWER. I WOULD HATE TO SEE IF THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE AIR BAGS AND IT S NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND SOMETHING HAPPENS TO MY DAUGHTER OR MY GRANDKIDS . I JUST WATCHED THE NEWS ON THE UPDATES AND THE PERSON THAT DIED BECAUSE THE AIR BAGS WERE NOT RECOGNIZED AS A PROBLEM. IT ALSO SAID SHE WOULD HAVE LIVED IF THEY WERE FIXED.(SHE WAS 17 YEARS OLD). IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE CHECKED OUT NOT AT MY EXPENSE PLEASE. ( ON DECEMBER 6 I RECENTLY TOTALED MY 2014 HONDA ODYSEE AND MY AIR BAGS SAVED ME AND THE VAN WAS TOTALED ) MY POINT ISI DON'T WANT MY FAMILY TO END UP LIKE THAT 17 YEAR OLD DEAD. AGAIN TO REITERATE THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON AND I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH IT. PLEASE HELP TO FIX THIS. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT THANKS [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).' *PM

I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO SERRA HONDA OF SYLACAUGA ON OR AROUND APRIL 2017 TO HAVE MY HAVE MY TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR REPAIRED DUE TO A RECALL. SINCE THE REPAIR, MY AIRBAG LIGHT WILL NOT GO OFF AND I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES TO INFORM SERRA HONDA SERVICE PERSONNEL. SERRA HONDA PERSONNEL HAS INFORMED ME THAT THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT BEING ON HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND THAT IF I BROUGHT IT BACK, THERE WOULD BE A MINIMUM OF $140 CHARGE TO LOOK AT MY AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL- I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND DRIVER OF THIS CAR AND FOR THE PAST 1-1/2 YEARS THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG SENSOR HAS BEEN GOING AND OFF WHEN IDLE OR WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS AUTO TECHNICIANS CHECK THE SENSOR AND BEEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING INDICATING ANY ISSUES. THE SENSOR SHOULD NOT GO OFF ON A CAR THAT HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY ACCIDENTS!. I HAVE PAID PARAMUS HONDA TO CHECK MY CAR AND TOLD THAT THE SENSOR CODE HAS WORN OFF OR DISAPPEARED AND THAT A SPECIAL AIRBAG TECHNICIAN WILL NEED TO INSPECT THE CAR FOR A FEE. I NEED THIS TO BE REMEDIED AS I DRIVE MY CHILDREN IN THIS CAR DAILY AND RELY ON IT TO GET TO WORK. THE SAFETY OF ANYONE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT IS JEOPARDIZED IF I HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE FRONT SEAT.

"TAKATA RECALL"

ON 11/25/15, I PURCHASED TWO GOODYEAR 225/50R17, 94V SL ASSUR COMTFD TOURING TIRES (M740KH1R1815). THE TIRES WERE INSTALLED ON A 2011 HONDA ACCORD WITH 54556 MILES. ON 8/9/17 BOTH TIRES WERE REPLACED AT A DISCOUNTED PRICE BECAUSE OF DEFECTS. MILEAGE ON THE CAR IS NOW 78445. SIGNIFICANT CRACKS HAD DEVELOPED IN THE SIDE WALL OF ONE OF THE TIRES AND MINOR CRACKS WERE SHOWING ON THE OTHER SUGGESTIVE OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THE WORST CRACKS WERE 4 TO 5 INCHES IN LENGTH AND POSED A DANGER OF SUDDEN HIGHWAY FAILURE. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN SUCH DEFECTS IN TIRES IN 50 PLUS YEARS OF DRIVING. THE FACT BOTH TIRES SHOWED SIMILAR DEFECTS RAISES QUESTIONS AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT MAY INVOLVE AN ENTIRE PRODUCTION BATCH OR SOMETHING LARGER. WHILE OUR DETECTION AND CORRECTION OF THE PROBLEM MAY HAVE PREVENTED A LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE FOR OUR FAMILY, OTHER FAMILIES MAY BE RIDING ON DEFECTIVE TIRES OF THIS TYPE AND NOT BE AWARE OF IT.

I KEEP HEARING WHINING SOUNDS UNDER HOOD. I INITIALLY THOUGHT IT WAS POWER STEERING BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE LOW. HOWEVER, AFTER TOPPING IT OFF, IT CONTINUES AND SOMETIMES GET EVEN LOUDER. I HAVE ALSO NOTICED CRACKING SOUND FROM WHEEL WHEN DRIVING. IT'S REALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN ROADS/STREETS ARE UNEVEN. IT SOUNDS LIKE WHEELS ARE GOING TO ROLL OFF AT ANY TIME. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME MY DRIVER SIDE MAP LIGHT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, DRIVER SIDE MAP LIGHT WORKS ON RARE OCCASIONS. I ALSO NOTICED THAT LIGHT ON DRIVER SIDE VISOR SEEMS TO HAVE A SHORT. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING. I OWNED A 98 HONDA ACCORD AND NEVER HAD THESE ISSUES FOR 13 YEARS. I NOTICED THERE HAS BEEN RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2011 HONDA ACCORD FOR SUSPENSION ISSUES. WHY IS THIS CAR NOT INCLUDED?
