THE VIN NUMBER IN QUESTIONS HAS 2 RECALLS AND WE TRIED GOING TO SLOANE HONDA DEALERSHIP 9903 BUSTLETON AVE, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19115-2145 AND THE REFUSED TO COMPLETE THE RECALL WITH ALWAYS AN EXCUSE. WENT TIMES AND HAD AN APPOINTMENT EACH TIME SPECIFICALLY FOR THE RECALL AND THEY FINDING SOME EXCUSE. FIRST THEY SAID THAT WE ARE NOT THE ORIGINAL OWNER(S) AND MY NAME DID NOT APPEAR ON THEIR SYSTEM AS THE CORRECT NAME FOR THE VEHICLE EVEN THOUGH WE PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW FROM THE SAME DEALERSHIP BACK IN 2004. THE SECOND TIME THE STATED THAT THEY FINISHED THE RECALL, HOWEVER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON AND WHEN I CHECKED ONLINE AS WELL AS YOUR WEBSITE IT IS STILL LISTED AS INCOMPLETE. THE THIRD AND FINAL TIME SPOKE TO [XXX] (SERVICE MANAGER) AND MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND HE WOULDN'T EVEN TALK TO ME OR HONOR THE APPOINTMENT. THEN CALLED HONDA DIRECTLY AT 888-234-2138 FOR RECALL COMPLAINT AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT AND COULD NEVER GET ANYONE. ALWAYS BUSY OR UNAVAILABLE TO TAKE PHONE CALLS. TRIED FINDING AN EMAIL AS CONTACT INFO FOR HONDA DIRECTLY AND THERE WASN'T ONE. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION HAS A RECALL FROM THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALERSHIP WE ORIGINALLY BOUGHT IT FROM REFUSES TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH ALWAYS SOME SORT OF AN EXCUSE OR LIE TO US STATING THAT IT WAS COMPLETED. THE RECALL AS OF NOW IS STILL INCOMPLETE. PLEASE ADVISE FURTHER. SINCERELY, CONCERNED VEHICLE OWNER INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL: JUST REC'D A RECALL NOTICE FROM HONDA DATING JULY 2015; I AM BEING GIVEN CONFLICTING INFORMATION REGARDING THE MOST RECENT CONSOLIDATED RECALL FOR HONDA. ACCORDING TO THE ABOVE LETTER REC'D BOTH THE DRIVER {ORDERED TO BE REPLACED A 2ND TIME EVEN IF ALREADY REPLACED = JUNE 6, 2015} AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. MADE APPOINTMENT WITH BREWSTER HONDA FOR JULY 7TH TO HAVE BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACED}. BREWSTER HONDA ONLY REPLACED THE PASSENGER AND NOT THE DRIVER PER THE NEWEST JULY 2015 NOTICE STATING THAT THIS WAS A 'CONSOLIDATED' RECALL AND THAT BOTH AIRBAGS NEEDED REPLACEMENT EVEN IF THE DRIVER'S SIDE WAS ALREADY REPLACED {WHICH IT WAS ON JUNE 6TH). BREWSTER HONDA SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME WHEN IT ARRIVES ~ THAT WAS ON JULY 7TH AND FOLLOW UP 2 WEEKS LATER. I CALLED TODAY TO FIND OUT STATUS AND I AM NOW BEING TOLD MY CAR'S RECALL IS CLOSED. ACCORDING TO THE CONGRESSIONAL JUNE 6TH MEETING DRIVER'S AIRBAGS WOULD VERY WELL NEED TO BE REPLACED 2XS ~ HONDA IS SHOWING MY CAR'S RECALL AS 'CLOSED' YET THEY DID NOT REPLACE THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG THE 2ND TIME AS INSTRUCTED; I DO NOT FEEL SAFE!

I WAS DRIVING TO MEET A FRIEND AND NOTICE AN AWFUL SMELL IN THE CAR. I PARKED CAR AT HER HOME AND WAS GONE ABOUT 3 HOURS. AS I WAS DRIVING HOME NOTICE THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT BOTTOM WAS MELTED. I HAVE HEATED LEATHER SEATS. THERE WAS ALSO A SMALL MELTED AREA ON THE SEAT BACK. MY HUSBAND DISCONNECTED THE FUSES UPON MY ARRIVAL HOME. HE LOOKED IT UP ON THE WEB AND SAW REPORTS OF THIS HAPPENING TO OTHERS, BUT WHEN HE CALLED A HONDA DEALER HE WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS UNHEARD OF. WE WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THERE WAS NO ONE ELSE IN THE CAR AT THE TIME. COULD HAVE BEEN A LOT WORST IF MY GRANDSON OR SOMEONE ELSE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. UPDATED 10/9/15 *LN UPDATED 12/06/2017*CN

I RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL NOTICE ON JULY 2015 WHICH REMINDED ME TO FILE A COMPLAIN.
