THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY DRIVING MY ACURA. I GOT A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FROM THE MANUFACTURER DURING THE MONTH ON FEBRUARY, 2016 WITH MULTIPLE CALLS BEING PLACED THE MANUFACTURER HAS NO FIXED DATE IN RESOLVING THE PROBLEM. WITH THE SAFETY RECALL I WASN'T ABLE TO SELL MY VEHICLE SINCE IT IS DEFECTIVE AND THERE WAS NO SOLUTION PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER. EVEN AFTER MULTIPLE CALLS ACURA CLIENT RELATIONS DIDN'T RESPOND PROPERLY AND THEY WERE NOT VERY HELPFUL IN RESOLVING MY ISSUES. I WOULD KINDLY REQUEST NHTSA TO KINDLY LOOK INTO THE ISSUE AND DIRECT ACURA ACCORDINGLY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 ACURA ILX. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V061000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA INFLATORS: AS I WAS MADE AWARE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE CAUSED BY TAKATA AIR BAG INFLATORS, I FOLLOWED UP WITH MY MANUFACTURER ABOUT THE OPTIONS I HAD. EVEN AFTER MAKING MULTIPLE CALLS THE MANUFACTURER OF MY VEHICLE WHO IS ACURA DOSEN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT SOLVING CUSTOMERS COMPLAINTS.

THIS IS THE VEHICLE AIR BAG THAT COULD RUPTURE WITH POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING INJURY TO ME OR MY PASSENGER. THIS IS A LEASED VEHICLE OWNED BY ACURA NOT ME AND NO PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE UNTIL END OF SUMMER. YOU CAN HAVE THIS CAR BACK AND PUT ME IN A NEW LEASE NEVER MIND GIVING ME A RENTAL CAR TO DRIVE AROUND IN AND CONTINUE TO MAKE MY LEASE PAYMENTS ON A VEHICLE I AM NOT EVEN DRIVING IN SERIOUSLY.

SO AS I UNDERSTAND, THIS RECALL IS A FIX THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE, OR IN THE EVENT OF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYING, THERE IS A CHANCE OF A LIFE THREATENING INJURY...BEING I WORK FOR TOSHIBA MEDICAL AND I SELL EQUIPMENT THAT COULD BE A DANGER TO PATIENTS AND I UNDERSTAND THE RECALL. IN MY CASE AT TOSHIBA, IF A RECALL COMES FROM THE FDA, WE NEED TO SHUT DOWN THE SYSTEM UNTIL THE FIX IS MADE. EVEN IF IT'S LESS THAN 1% IT GETS CLOSE UP!! SEEMS THAT YOU ARE WILLING TO LET THE CAR BE DRIVEN UNTIL THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! THIS IS A LEASED CAR AND THE LEASE IS UP IN NOVEMBER OF THIS YEAR. YOU OWN THIS CAR NOT I. I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO RETURN THE CAR AS IS AND YOU TERMINATE THE LEASE. LEGALLY ACURA HAS A LARGE RISK KNOWING THE AIRBAGS ARE FAULTY BUT HAVE NO FIX... PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR NEXT STEPS. ... THANKS IN ADVANCE... INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR.. ...UPDATED 04/12/16 *BF
