I HEARD ON THE NEWS TODAY AND ALSO FOUND OUT THAT I'M ELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REPAIR AT MY LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP, OR THAT A TECHNICIAN COULD COME TO ME. I ALSO HAVE RECEIVED TWO CARDS IN THE MAIL, AND I OWN TWO OF THE SAME YEAR MAKE AND MODEL VANS, ONE THAT SHOWS UP ON THE RECALL AND ONE THAT DOESN'T. AS PER CBS NEWS " U.S. SAFETY REGULATORS ARE DEMANDING THAT AUTOMAKERS AND TAKATA CORP. EXPAND NATIONWIDE A RECALL OF VEHICLES WITH CERTAIN DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAGS EQUIPPED WITH INFLATORS THAT CAN ERUPT AND SEND METAL FRAGMENTS INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. "

TAKATA AIRBAGS - I NEVER RECEIVED PAPERWORK FROM HONDA TO HAVE MY AIRBAGS SERVICED AT A DEALERSHIP. OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WON'T REPAIR WITHOUT PAPERWORK.

THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH DOESN'T WANT TO TURN. IT TAKES BETWEEN 5 TO 10 MINUTES FOR IT TO FINALLY TURN SO I HAVE TO LEAVE A KEY IN THE VAN AND NOT TAKE IT OUT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK. ONCE I TAKE IT OUT I SPEND ANOTHER 5 TO 10 MINUTES TURNING UNTIL IT FINALLY TURNS OVER.

INTERLOCK SHIFT ISSUE. YOU CAN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WHILE IN DRIVE. THE ISSUE WAS INITIALLY CORRECTED VIA A RECALL. THE ISSUE IS NOW HAPPENING AGAIN. DEALERSHIP/ HONDA IS NOT WILLING TO FIX IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T DUPLICATE ON A LEVEL SURFACE. IT REPEATEDLY HAPPENS WHEN I PULL INTO MY DRIVEWAY WHICH IS ON A SLANT. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE CAR STARTED ROLLING WHILE MY KIDS WERE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT I CANNOT GET ADDRESSED. THIS ISSUE IS INTERMITTENT AND DOESN'T ALWAYS HAPPEN LIKE THEY SAY IT SHOULD. THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AT THE TIME OF ISSUE. IT OCCURS DURING THE PROCESS OF TURNING OFF THE CAR AND EXITING THE VEHICLE. DATES IT OCCURS SINCE JUNE OF 2017. MILEAGE WAS A LITTLE LESS THAN 159000 WHEN IT STARTED AGAIN.
