TAKATA INFLATORS. I NEED ASSISTANCE FOR MY 82 YEAR OLD MOTHER. HER HONDA IS PART OF THE RECALL FOR THE TAKATA INFLATOR. UPON READING THE INSTRUCTIONS OFF THE WEB SITE ADVISING HER TO GO TO HER LOCAL DEALERSHIP..TO RENT A CAR...SHE WAS TURNED AWAY AND TOLD THEY HAD NO CARS AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED 2 ADDITIONAL DEALERS ABOUT THE RECALL AND WAS NOT GIVEN ANY INFORMATION OTHER THAN TO CALL BACK...EVERY WEEK... I WAS TOLD BY THE 1-888-234-2138 # THAT THERE IS A WAITING LIST THAT THE DEALER MUST PUT YOU ON AND THAT EACH DEALER HAS A PRE NEGOTIATED RATE WITH HERTZ OR ENTERPRISE.....SO WHY WOULD MY MOTHER BE TURNED AWAY FROM HER LOCAL DEALER AND NOT ASSISTED IN THIS RECALL THAT IS LIFE THREATENING TO HONDA PASSENGERS? I FEEL LIKE NO HONDA DEALER REALLY WANTS TO BE BOTHERED BY THIS RECALL.

I VISITED MY HONDA DEALER (CROWN HONDA IN PINELLAS PARK FLORIDA) ON APRIL 4TH, 2016 IN CONNECTION WITH IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL SERVICE BULLETIN #16-016 RECEIVED FROM THE AUTOMOBILE DIVISION OF AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO., INC. CROWN HONDA'S SERVICE ADVISOR (JAMES G. MCLAUGHLIN) TOLD ME THE PART(S) NECESSARY TO FIX MY CAR WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL LATE SUMMER 2016, BUT THAT I SHOULD NOT WORRY BECAUSE THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF EITHER MYSELF OR A PASSENGER IN MY VEHICLE SUFFERING ANY KIND OF HARM OR INJURY IS HIGHLY REMOTE. I MENTIONED THAT MY VEHICLE IS APPARENTLY AT GREATER RISK OF THE FAULTY PART(S) FAILING BECAUSE IT IS AN OLDER VEHICLE BEING OPERATED IN A VERY HIGH HUMIDITY/HIGH TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT - THE TAMPA BAY AREA OF FLORIDA. MR. MCLAUGHLIN WAS STILL OF THE VIEW I SHOULD NOT BE TOO CONCERNED AS THE WHOLE RECALL MATTER HAD BEEN BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION BY NHTSA. BUT WHILE DRIVING YESTERDAY I HEARD SOME UNUSUALLY WEIRD NOISES COMING FROM WHERE MY DRIVER AND PASSENGER FRONT AIRBAGS ARE LOCATED AND I WAS VERY FEARFUL OF AN AIRBAG INFLATOR FAILURE BECAUSE IT WAS A VERY HOT HUMID DAY. MY DEALER HAS REFUSED TO CONFIRM WHETHER MY VEHICLE WILL BE RECEIVING PRIORITY BECAUSE OF THE HIGH RISK ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH IT IS OPERATED. YESTERDAY I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA AT 1-888-234-2138 AND SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER SERVICE REP NAMED EMMIT LOCATED IN TORRANCE CA AND HE TOO WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM WHETHER MY VEHICLE WAS ON A PRIORITY LIST GIVEN ITS MUCH HIGHER RISK OF THE PART(S) FAILING. I NEED HELP FROM SOMEONE - PLEASE HELP ME. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL MY VEHICLE IS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. CALLED THE DEALER (PENSACOLA HONDA)-POOR RESULTS. AM TOLD THE PARTS 'MAY' ARRIVE LATE MAY'16, AND INSTALLATION BEGINS IN JUN'16. THEY TOLD BY SUMMER!! INFORMATION SUGGESTS THAT OLDER CARS ('07) IN HOT/HUMID LOCATIONS (MILTON, FL) ARE THE MOST AT RISK. I WAS PREVIOUSLY UNAWARE OF HOW LONG THIS ISSUE HAS PERSISTED!!! CALLED THE AMERICAN HONDA NUMBER, AGAIN-POOR RESULTS. I HAVE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE BRAND, AND SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. I WISH TO -SELL IT- AND BE DONE WITH THE PROBLEM, BUT NO PERSON, NOR A DEALERSHIP IS INTERESTED IN A CAR WITH A SAFETY RECALL AND A REPAIR TIMELINE THAT STRETCHES FOR MONTHS. IN THE MEANWHILE I HAVE A REGISTRATION RENEWAL DUE, AND AM PAYING INSURANCE ON A CAR I AM AFRAID FOR MY WIFE TO DRIVE. THE VALUE OF THIS CAR HAS BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED, AND I AM UNABLE TO SELL. HONDA WANTS TO MAKE AVAILABLE A LOANER CAR, BUT THAT DOES NOT HELP TO OFFSET DIMINISHED VALUE, LOSS OF RESALE, STORAGE AND ONGOING DEPRECIATION ISSUES.
