TAKATA RECALL - I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT SINCE THE MIDDLE OF JUNE. BOTH MY BOYFRIEND AND I LIVE TOGETHER. WE BOTH DRIVE THE SAME CAR MAKE AND MODEL BUT HIS IS AN '07. WE BOTH HAVE RECALLS ON OUR PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND WE HAVE A SWITCH THAT INDICATES WHEN NOBODY IS THE PASSENGER SEAT IT SHUTS OFF THE AIRBAG. UNFORTUNATELY, BOTH OF OUR VEHICLES DON'T DO THAT, THE LIGHT NEVER INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG IS SHUT OFF AND THAT MEANS THAT THE AIRBAG IS STILL ACTIVE. SO IN OTHER WORDS IF WE GET HIT, EVEN THOUGH NOBODY IS IN THE SEAT, OUR PASSENGER AIRBAGS ARE GOING OFF. IVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL PEOPLE REGARDING THIS AND EVEN SUBMITTED PHOTOS. FINALLY, THEY CALLED ME REGARDING ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION ON 8/15 BUT TODAY, 8/16, MY CASE MANAGER YVONNE, STATED THAT I WAS DENIED ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. I LOVE THAT HONDA THINKS THIS IS A GAME. IN OTHER WORDS, MY BOYFRIEND AND I ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE SEPARATE CARS TO THE GROCERY STORE OR WHEN WE GO OUT OF TOWN. WE CARPOOL AND I TRIED TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THE CASE MANAGER AND SEVERAL PEOPLE BUT I GUESS MY BOYFRIEND'S LIFE OR MY LIFE DON'T REALLY MATTER TO THEM. MY CASE MANAGER YVONNE, STATED THAT SHE IS ORDERING A PART TO FIX MY AIRBAG LIGHT AND I MAY HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR THIS REPAIR. I WONDER WHEN THIS WILL EVEN COME IN BY THEN MY AIRBAG MAY GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING OR WHAT IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. BELOW, I HAVE SUBMITTED PHOTOS OF MY CAR WHILE IT'S ON AND AS YOU CAN SEE THE LIGHT IS OFF WHEN IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE BLEW OUT. THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL TURNING THE VEHICLE AND CRASHED INTO A TREE STUMP. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND WAS TOWED TO A TOW YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. RIGHT AFTER THE FAILURE, THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 HONDA CIVIC. THE SUN VISOR IN THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER A RECALL. HOWEVER, THE SUN VISORS WERE STILL DETACHED FROM THE VEHICLE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN THE DEALER AND REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AGAIN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE RECALL DETAILS WERE UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 131,133.

NHTSA RECALL 16V-346: I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA INFORMING ME OF A SAFETY RECALL INVOLVING THE PROPELLANT WAFERS IN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG OF MY VEHICLE THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY TO A VEHICLE OCCUPANT. HONDA IS NOT OFFERING TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, THE LETTER STATES THAT UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO MAKE A REPAIR LATER IN THE SUMMER I SHOULD NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR, MY YOUNG DAUGHTER SITS IN THE BACK SEAT BEHIND THE PASSENGER SEAT, WE OFTEN HAVE A SECOND CHILD IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND A LARGE DOG. WE CAN'T POSSIBLY AVOID USING THE PASSENGER SEAT WHEN THE BACK SEAT IS FULL, AND OUR OTHER CAR IS TOO SMALL TO ACCOMMODATE EVERYONE. WHEN I REQUESTED A RENTAL CAR FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR THE PERIOD UNTIL THE REPAIRS WERE MADE, IT WAS DENIED. I CONTACTED HONDA AND HAD TO SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION AND WAS TOLD A CASE WORKER WOULD CONTACT ME IN 2 WEEKS OR SO. I THINK THIS IS ALL ABSURD. THEY ARE IMPLYING THAT AN AIRBAG RECALL ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IS NOT AS HAZARDOUS AS ONE ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE, AND ALSO THAT A REASONABLE SOLUTION IS TO JUST NOT USE THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE RESPONSE, AND IT HAS LEFT MY FAMILY IN DANGER UNTIL THE REPAIRS CAN BE MADE, WHENEVER THAT WILL BE. NO ESTIMATED TIME LINE HAS BEEN GIVEN.

CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION A HAIRLINE CRACK WAS VISIBLY LEAKING COOLANT ON THE ENGINE BLOCK. DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THAT IT IS THE CRACK FROM TSB 10-048 BUT WILL NOT COVER SAID ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR IS OUT OF THE WARRANTY TIME LIMIT . AS A SIDE NOTE, BEING THE THIRD OWNER OF THE VEHICLE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY/ ISSUE.

HONDA CIVIC 2006 SUNVISOR IS BROKEN - REMAINING IN THE DOWN POSITION PARTIALLY OBSTRUCTING VIEW FROM WINDSHIELD AND REAR-VIEW MIRROR.

THE CONTACT RECEIVED INJURIES TO THE NECK, CHEST, AND KNEE, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED TO A JUNK YARD. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000.
