DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR RECALL THIS COMPLAINT INVOLVES THE RECALL OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR IN 2009 AND GOOD FOR 7 YEARS FROM THAT DATE. I HAD ONE VISOR, SPLIT APART AT THE TOP SEAM, REPLACED. THE SECOND VISOR NOT ONLY SPLIT AT THE SEAM BUT CAME LOOSE AT THE HINGE AND FLEW PAST MY FACE WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN APRIL 2016. I HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITHIN THE 7-YEAR PERIOD BUT BECAUSE I MISREAD THE WARRANTY I KEPT PUTTING OFF THE REPLACEMENT UNTIL AFTER IT EXPIRED. HOWEVER, WHEN I TOOK MY CAR TO CULVER CITY HONDA, SERVICE MANAGER RUE AYALA TOLD ME HONDA SELECTED A 7-YEAR WINDOW IN ORDER TO REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE VISORS WITH DEFECTIVE VISORS TO GET RID OF THEM. HE SAID CUSTOMERS HAD COME IN AS MANY AS "THREE, FOUR AND FIVE TIMES FOR REPLACEMENT VISORS." HE OFFERED ME A DISCOUNT, WHICH I REFUSED. WHY SHOULD MY RECALLED PART BE AS DEFECTIVE AS THE FIRST ONE? THE CAR SHOULD HAVE COME WITH A NEW AND WORKING PART: THAT'S WHAT I PAID FOR. MY FEAR IS THE LATEST RECALL, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG, MIGHT ALSO BE REPLACED WITH A DEFECTIVE AIR BAG. SUN VISORS ARE ALSO MATTERS OF SAFETY. THEY SHOULD NOT FLY OFF THE HINGE PAST YOUR FACE WHILE YOU'RE DRIVING. FORTUNATELY, IT DID NOT STRIKE MY FACE. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO ACURA HONDA, WHOSE EMPLOYEES HAVE GIVEN ME THE RUNAROUND SINCE I BEGAN CALLING SIX WEEKS AGO. I HAVE BEEN PASSED FROM CASE MANAGER TO CASE MANAGER. I HAVE ASKED TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR BUT HAVE BEEN REFUSED. I HAVE ASKED FOR THE NAMES OF NATIONAL AND REGIONAL DIRECTORS WHO OVERSEE RECALLS, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE OUT THAT INFORMATION. SO MUCH FOR GOOD FAITH TO A CUSTOMER WHO HAS PURCHASED TWO HONDAS. HONDA, IN MY OPINION, HAS ACTED FRAUDULENTLY REGARDING THEIR BAIT-AND-SWITCH SUN VISOR RECALL. I BELIEVE I DESERVE A NEW, NON-DEFECTIVE SUN VISOR AT NO COST TO ME. PLEASE HELP. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL. HONDA GAVE NOTIFICATION IN JULY 2016 THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR CAN BE PERFORMED." THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HONDA SAID THAT "THE REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016." IT IS NOW NOVEMBER AND PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. HONDA NEEDS TO PROVIDE A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE IF THEY CANNOT PROVIDE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS IN A TIMELY MANNER.

TAKATA RECALL. RECALLED IN MAY AND IT IS 6 MONTHS LATER AND NO ACTION FOR A REPAIR. WAS TOLD I WOULD GET ANOTHER LETTER IN LATE SUMMER OR FALL. GRANTED IT'S STILL FALL BUT WE ARE TWO THIRDS THROUGH FALL AND I'VE HEARD NOTHING.

TAKATA RECALL--I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA ABOUT A RECALL ON MY 2009 HONDA CIVIC NHTSA RECALL 16V-346. IT STATED THAT PROPELLANT WAFERS IN SOME OF THE INFLATORS MY DEGRADE OVER TIME, WHICH COULD CAUSE INJURY TO THE PASSENGER, AND NOT TO ALLOW ANYONE TO RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS WAS IN JULY 2016. THE RECALL IS STILL NOT REPAIRABLE ACCORDING TO THE WEBSITE. FOUR MONTHS IS EXCESSIVE TO ASK ME TO NOT USE MY PASSENGER SEAT!! I NEED THE CAR FIXED, SO MY PASSENGER WILL BE SAFE.

TAKATA RECALL - I WAS INFORMED IN MAY THAT MY CAR WAS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. THE LETTER STATED THERE SHOULD BE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN BY THE END OF THE SUMMER. I LIVE IN HOUSTON, TEXAS, A VERY HOT AND HUMID CITY. I WAS INFORMED THAT CARS IN HOT HUMID CITIES ARE MOST AT RISK OF THE BAGS GOING OFF WHEN THEY SHOULD NOT. CONSIDERING I LIVE IN SUCH A HOT, HUMID CITY IS IS VERY CONCERNING THAT IT IS NOVEMBER AND HONDA HAS STILL NOT INFORMED ME THAT A REPLACEMENT PART IS IN SO I CAN GET MY CAR FIXED. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE THIS LONG TO REMEDY A DANGEROUS AIR BAG DEFECT. IF I'M AT A DANGER DRIVING MY CAR AT ALL I WANT TO KNOW AND I WANT THIS FIXED.
