2011 Acura Tsx

AIR PASSENGER BAG RECALL... IT'S ALREADY BEEN OVER 6 MONTHS OR SO SINCE LAST YEAR (2016) THAT I INFORM ACURA THAT I HAVE A RECALL. I INFORM THEM THAT I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT DONE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BECAUSE I DROVE AROUND WITH MY CLIENT, NIECES, FAMILY, FRIENDS ETC.. I ALREADY HAD ACCIDENT WHICH IS ONLY ME IN THE CAR. WHENEVER ITS TIME FOR MY CAR SERVICE, I WOULD REMIND THEM OR INFORM THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE? I DROVE THE CAR EVERYDAY!!! THIS CASE OF RECALL SHOULD BE DONE RIGHT AWAY NOT WAIT FOR HALF A YEAR OR SO TO GET IT DONE.. AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR CALL OR WHATEVER THEY SAY THEY STILL WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN..THIS IS SO DISAPPOINTING!

AT ONLY 40,000 MILES, MY 2011 ACURA TSX HAS VTEC ACTUATOR FAILURE. IT STARTED TO SHOW SIGNS OF THIS OVER THE LAST 5,000 - 10,000 MILES OR SO AND HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY WORSE. I HEAR A GRINDING NOISE WHENEVER I START MY VEHICLE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. MY LOCAL ACURA DEALER HAS DONE A DIAGNOSTIC AND HAS CONFIRMED THE ACTUATOR FAILURE. HONDA WHO ALSO OWNS ACURA, HAS BEEN AWARE OF THIS ISSUE SINCE APPROXIMATELY 2008. IT IS AFFECTING A VERY LARGE PORTION OF VEHICLES WITH A HONDA VTEC ENGINE. THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND IT IS AFFECTING BRAND NEW VEHICLES AS WELL. NOW, THEY WANT TO PASS ALONG THE COST OF REPAIRS TO ME EVEN THOUGH I SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCING THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS AT ONLY 40,000 MILES. I AM STILL WAITING FOR DOCUMENTATION FROM MY DEALER THAT CONFIRMS THE ACTUATOR FAILURE AND CAN PROVIDE IT IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
