TAKATA RECALL HAVE ATTEMPTED BOTH WITH LOCAL DEALER AND HEADQUARTERS TO OBTAIN INFORMATION ABOUT MY AIRBAG AND THE COMPANY HAS NOT BEEN WILLING TO HELP. I PURCHASED A 2009 HONDA ACCORD FROM AUTOPARK HONDA IN CARY, NC SEVERAL YEARS AGO. A FEW MONTHS AGO I LOOKED ON RECALL.GOV TO SEE IF THE AIRBAG INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL. RECALL.GOV LISTED IT AS UNDER RECALL. I CONTACTED AUTOPARK ABOUT THIS. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I ASKED WHY IT WAS SHOWING ON THE GOVERNMENT LISTING AND THEY DID NOT KNOW. I ASKED IF ONE OF THE TAKATA AIRBAGS UNDER RECALL (WHICH ARE DANGEROUS TO HAVE IN THE VEHICLE) WAS INSTALLED IN MY CAR. THEY WERE UNABLE TO TELL ME AND DECLINED TO LOOK INTO IT. SO, I WROTE A LETTER TO HONDA'S CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS (IN TORRANCE, CA) EXPLAINING AND ASKING IF ONE OF THE RECALLED TAKATA AIRBAGS WAS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE. THEY SENT ME A FORM LETTER IN RETURN. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT AIRBAG IS INSTALLED IN MY VEHICLE (MAKE, MODEL) AND WHETHER IT IS ONE OF THE MALFUNCTIONING AIRBAGS. IF IT IS, I WANT TO KNOW HOW TO GET IT REPLACED IN A TIMELY MANNER. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION TO ME. I FILED THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB A WHILE AGO AND YET HONDA STILL WON'T PROVIDE ME WITH THIS INFORMATION. THEY HAVE PROVIDED INACCURATE INFO TO BBB SUCH AS THEY HAVE TRIED TO CONTACT ME (THEY HAVE NOT). I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO TO OBTAIN THIS BASIC SAFETY INFORMATION FROM HONDA. MY CHILDREN RIDE IN MY CAR EVERY DAY AND I AM WORRIED ABOUT THEIR SAFETY. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS [XXX] IF THERE IS ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO HELP ME OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL - UNREASONABLE TIME SINCE NOTIFICATION FOR PARTS STILL NOT TO BE AVAILABLE TO REPLACE DEFECTED AIRBAG(S). NO MATTER WHETHER I'VE HAD AN INCIDENT I CARE FOR MY UNCLE AND CAN NOT TAKE HIM PLACES IN MY VEHICLE UNTIL YOUR COMPANY DEEMS IT NECESSARY TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX ITS MISTAKE. PLEASE FIND AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION OR PROVIDE A LONER CAR. AND, I FIND IT HIGHLY UNLIKELY THAT THE PROBLEM IS ONLY IN THE PASSENGER AIRBAG AND NOT THE DRIVER OR SIDE AIRBAGS. YOUR NOTIFICATION DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH EXPLANATION OR PEACE OF MIND. YOU HAVE LOST A 4X HONDA CUSTOMER ON A FUTURE CAR PURCHASE AND I'M SURE MANY OTHERS DUE TO YOUR POOR PERFORMANCE OF THIS ISSUE.
