TAKATA INFLATORS. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH 2016, AND WITHIN A DAY OR TWO CONTACTED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER, MC GRATH HONDA, LOCATED AT 1411 E MAIN STREET IN ST CHARLES, IL. THEY SUPPOSEDLY PUT ME ON A WAITING LIST. I HAVE CALLED THEM 3 TIMES, AND EVEN STOPPED BY ONCE TO INQUIRE ON THE STATUS O MY VEHICLE. THEY HAVE NEVER CALLED ME BACK. EVEN ON MY DROP BY VISIT, I WAS NOT GIVEN AN ANSWER, JUST TOLD SOMEONE WOULD CALL ME BACK THE NEXT DAY...DID NOT HAPPEN. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING OVER 180 DAYS TO GET THE REPAIR. I HAVE EVEN CONTACTED THE HONDA DEALER SCHAUMBURG, IL, BUT HAVE HAD NO BETTER LUCK WITH THEM. IF THIS IS SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN, MAYBE THEY SHOULD CONCENTRATE ON FIXING THE CARS THAT ARE ALREADY ON THE ROAD. HELP ME GET MY CAR FIXED. I RELY ON IT TO TAKE MY HANDICAPPED MOTHER TO HER DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENTS IN CHICAGO.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER 60 DAYS SINCE FIRST CONTACTING MY HONDA DEALERSHIP (AUTOMATION HONDA OF VALENCIA) FOR A REPAIR APPOINTMENT. THEY HAVE NEITHER REMEDIED THE DEFECT IN MY VEHICLE, NOR MADE ANY ATTEMPT TO ASSURE MY SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO CALL TO SPEAK WITH SOMEONE TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE SITUATION HAVE BEEN IN VAIN.

I BROUGHT MY CAR IN TO BE REPAIRED AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT IT WOULD BE AN EXTENDED TIME THAT MY CAR WOULD BE OUT. I EXPLAINED THAT I DRIVE UBER AND THAT WAS MY MAIN FORM OF INCOME, WHEN I COULDN'T DRIVE A REGULAR ENTERPRISE, I SPOKE TO HONDA AND DID THE SECOND OPTION OF PAYING FOR IT UPFRONT AND BEING REIMBURSED 6-8 WEEKS AFTER I FILED MY RECEIPTS. THIS WAS GOING ON IN APRIL-MAY AND IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER. I AM OUT $1200 AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GET THEM TO REIMBURSE ME MY MONEY. THEY HAVE BEEN DRAGGING THEIR FEET ALWAYS REQUESTING MORE INFORMATION AND WANTING MORE AND NEEDING ME TO EXPLAIN. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND I WANT TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION. SO TIRED OF BEING STEPPED ON BY THE BIG GUY.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I HAVE CALLED OCEAN HONDA MANY TIME TO SCHEDULE THIS RECALL. SERVICE DEPT. SAID PARTS ON ORDER AND WOULD BE PROCESS PER VEHICLE OWNERS REQUESTING REPAIR. I CALLED INITIALLY IN APRIL 2016 TO GET IN QUEUE; I CALL BACK IN JUNE 2016 AND THEY SAID I HADN'T CALLED BEFORE. VENTURA, CA IS A HIGH HUMIDITY LOCATION AND THUS SHOULD BE ONE OF THE FIRST TO GET REPAIRS. I'VE CALLED MULTIPLE TIME SINCE AND STILL "NO PARTS." MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR WITH THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL FLAW. I REQUEST NHTSA DO SOMETHING TO SPEED UP REMEDIATION AND ASSESS STIFF FINES FOR LACK OF COMPLIANCE. THANK YOU. *TR

TAKATA RECALL HONDA RECALL NOTICE ADVISES "PARTS NEEDED ...WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL 2016..." AND "AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." TO NOT BE ABLE TO SAFELY SEAT SOMEONE IN THE PASSENGER FRONT SEAT IS A HARDSHIP THAT REQUIRES AN IMMEDIATE REMEDY. I CALLED HONDA PACIFIC THIS MORNING AND WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WILL NOT BE PROVIDING ALTERNATE VEHICLES BECAUSE - UNLIKE THE DRIVER AIRBAG RECALL - THE CARS ARE STILL DRIVABLE. SO I BASICALLY HAVE TO SECURE ANOTHER VEHICLE AT MY OWN EXPENSE UNTIL HONDA CAN FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS SITUATION IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME BUT I WAS TOLD THAT ALL I CAN DO IS MAKE A COMPLAINT. SO HERE IT IS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
