"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE RECEIVED TWO LETTERS FROM HONDA ABOUT THE AIRBAG RECALLS, ONE DATED MARCH 2016 FOR DRIVER AIRBAG RECALL AND ONE DATED JULY 2016 FOR PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL. TO DATE, NOTHING HAS BEEN REPLACED, MUCH TO MY DISMAY. I KEEP CHECKING WITH HONDA OF OCALA (FLORIDA) AND THEY KEEP TELLING ME THEY CAN'T GET THE PARTS. SINCE THIS IS SO VERY DANGEROUS, WHY CAN'T THIS BE CORRECTED? IT HAS BEEN OVER 5 MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE FIRST LETTER OF RECALL AND ALMOST TWO MONTHS SINCE I RECEIVED THE SECOND LETTER OF RECALL. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? I KEEP READING ABOUT THE DANGERS OF NOT GETTING THESE REPLACED AND IT IS VERY SCARY. WHEN WILL THIS BE TAKEN CARE OF IN MY VEHICLE.......CAN YOU DELIVER ME AN ANSWER?

TAKATA RECALL-[XXX]: HI MARINA- MY 2007 HONDA RIDGELINE HAS A RECALL FOR THE TANAKA AIRBAG. I HAVE CONTACTED HONDA NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT WHEN I CAN BE FIXED AND IF THEY CAN PROVIDE A RENTAL IN THE MEANTIME. THEY OFTEN HANG UP ON ME AND IF CHATTING THEY TERMINATE IT OR SAY THAT SOMEONE WILL CALL ME, WHICH THEY NEVER DO. I CONTACT THE HONDA CORPORATE OFFICE AND THE SAME RESULTS OCCURRED, WHICH IS NOTHING. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR MY WIFE AND I HAVE THAT CAN SHUTTLE OUR 2 YEAR OLD TO AND FROM DAYCARE AND THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND HONDA WILL DO NOTHING ABOUT IT.

TAKATA RECALL- HONDA HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT BOTH MY DRIVER'S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS ARE AFFECTED. THE AUTOPARK HONDA IN CARY, NC IS REFUSING TO PROVIDE ME WITH AN ALTERNATIVE VEHICLE WHEN ACCORDING TO AMERICAN HONDA I AM ENTITLED TO ONE SINCE IT IS DRIVER'S SIDE AIR BAG

FOR YEARS I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED A RIDGE LINE HONDA. NOW I HAVE ONE. I HAD PURCHASED MY TRUCK FEBRUARY 2015. I ONLY DROVE THE TRUCK LITERALLY FOR 4 MONTHS AND I PAY A LOT OF MONEY EACH MONTH TO CAPITAL ONE. I HAVE ALREADY PLACED A TRANSMISSION AND RADIATOR IN IT AROUND FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF 2016. I WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK WAS OKAY DON'T WORRY ABOUT ANYTHING. IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE AND TRAVEL WITH. SO TOWARDS THE END OF JUNE - I HAD DROVE FROM OHIO TO ALABAMA. ON JUNE 17, ON MY WAY TO CHURCH THE ENGINE BLEW UP ON THE EXPRESSWAY. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 2 MONTHS WITHOUT MY TRUCK. I AM PAYING A LOT OF MONEY FOR IT. I HOLD CAPITOL ONE AND THEY SAID ASK YOU ALL IF YOU ARE WILLING TO LET ME EXCHANGE FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY ARE ONLY IN CHARGE OF LETTING ME BORROW MONEY. THEY SAID THAT HONDA HAS THE POWER TO DO THAT.
