THE SEATBELTS HAD FAILED TO LOCK AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS NEVER DEPRESSED AND IT APPEARED THAT AS SOON AS THE TIRES HIT THE DIRT SHOULDER THE VEHICLE GAIN SPEED.

I'M REALIZING THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAGS HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS MADE.

NHTSA ODI 11164545

CAR LOST CONTROL ON THE ROAD AND MOVED OUTSIDE OF THE ROAD WHEN THE SIDE AIR BAGS GOT DEPLOYED. WHEN THEY GOT DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE. THIS HAS CAUSED THE HEAD TO BE HIT ON THE WINDOWS OF THE CAR PRETTY HARD. HOW COULD IT HAPPEN THAT THE AIR BAGS GOD DEPLOYED BUT NO AIR GOT INFLATED INTO THE AIRBAGS. THEY JUST FELL AS IF A CLOTH \ CURTAIN WAS COMING OUT WITHOUT INFLATING. ATTACHED PICTURES SHOULD GIVE YOU AN IDEA.

TAKATA RECALL. DUE TO POTENTIAL INJURY/DEATH TO PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE, I CANNOT HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR MY JOB AND INCONVENIENT FOR MY PERSONAL TIME. NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE, DESPITE HONDA SAYING ONE WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN 2016.

TAKATA RECALL - MY RECALL LOOKUP SAYS REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE, BUT THE INITIAL ESTIMATES SAY I SHOULD EXPECT A RECALL IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016. IF A REMEDY IS NOT AVAILABLE IN A TIMELY MANNER, THE LOOKUP SAYS TO FILE A COMPLAINT.

TAKATA INFLATOR. HONDA SENT RECALL NOTICE ONE YEAR AGO BUT OPPORTUNITY TO REPAIR/REMEDY IS NOT YET AVAILABLE EVEN THOUGH THEY PROPOSED THAT IT WOULD BE BY 6-9 MONTHS. NO INCIDENT HAS OCCURRED.

NHTSA ODI 10938912

TAKATA RECALL - MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT IS TAKING FOR PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE TO REPAIR A HONDA CIVIC I PURCHASED FOR MY DAUGHTER AND HER FAMILY. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY 2016 INDICATING THAT THE 'REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016'. I ALSO WAS ADVISED I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED I WAS ADVISED: "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, DECEMBER 30, 2016, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE 2ND LETTER. IT IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL FOR A MOTHER TO HAVE HER CHILD SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHEN SHE KNOWS THIS POSES A DANGER. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CAR IS USED FOR A SINGLE MOM WITH THREE CHILDREN, THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD COMPENSATE FAMILIES BY PROVIDING A SAFE RENTAL CAR UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE CAR AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THANK YOU FOR READING MY CONCERN. *TR
