TAKATA RECALL- IT HAS BEEN 60+ DAYS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED AND HONDA TELLS ME THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN PARTS WILL BE IN. THEY HAVE FAILED TO ASSIGN ME A CASE MANAGER TO REVIEW MY RENTAL REQUEST IN A TIMELY MANNER. WE HAVE 4 PASSENGERS DAILY IN THIS CAR (2 ADULTS IN FRONT, 2 SMALL CHILDREN IN LARGE CAR SEATS IN THE BACK). WE CANNOT TRAVEL SAFELY AS THIS IS OUR ONLY CAR. WE CANNOT SIMPLY AVOID HAVING SOMEONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE NEED A RENTAL WHICH HONDA SAID THEY WILL PROVIDE IN THIS TYPE OF SITUATION BUT THEY HAVE NOT TIMELY ASSIGNED US A CASE MANAGER TO REVIEW OUR REQUEST. THEY HAVE ADMITTED NO ETA ON THE PARTS. THEY TOLD US WE CAN RENT OUR OWN CAR, BUT WE CAN'T AFFORD THAT WITH NO END DATE IN SIGHT. THEY STATED WE ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS THE DRIVER SIDE RECALL. THEY HAVE NOT REMEDIED THE DEFECT IN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE MADE A REPAIR APPOINTMENT BUT NO ETA ON PARTS. PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PANIC ATTACKS AND HAVE NEEDED MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR THE ANXIETY THIS HAS CAUSED IN MY DAILY LIFE, FOR THE PAST 2 MONTHS. THANK YOU. *TR

DID NOT WORRY BECAUSE PASSENGER SIDE AIR ONLY AND MY SON DRIVE MOSTLY BY HIMSELF. LIGHT HAVE BEEN ON EVER SINCE. BROUGHT CAR BACK TO DEALER FOR RECALL OF AIRBAGS 7/2016. HAD DEALER LOOK AT SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT AGAIN. THEY TELL ME THE I HAD A FAULTY FLOOR HARNESS AND ALL MY AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK AND COST OF REPAIR AFTER DISCOUNT TO BE $1600. I CALL AMERICAN HONDA ON 8/1 TO SEE IF THEY WILL COVER COST OF REPAIR. THEY DID NOT. BASE ON MY RESEARCH, I FEEL THIS IS VERY UNFAIR. 2007 HONDA CIVIC HAVE THIS PROBLEM SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT ISSUE CODE 32-10. I THINK MY CAR FAULTY HARNESS ISSUE WAS THERE WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR NEW AND IT CAUSE SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT TO COME ON CONSTANTLY AND WHY THE REPAIR NEVER LASTED MORE THAN A FEW MONTHS. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SAME AS WITH THE SEAT BELT AND AMERICAN HONDA SHOULD COVER COST OF REPAIR. AMERICAN HONDA HAS SERVICE NOTICE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM WITH THE HONDA CIVIC ONLY. MY MILEAGE IS 85080 AT THIS TIME.
