LAST SPRING TIME AT THE END OF APRIL 2016 I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA SAYING THAT MY VEHICLE WAS IN THE LIST OF "RECALL" FOR DEFECT OF THE AIR BAG. THE LETTER SAYS THAT THE PART " WILL BE AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016". IT NEVER HAPPENED, LATER AT THE END OF AUGUST, I CALLED HONDA COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PROMISE THEY TOLD ME TO REPAIR MY CAR AIRBAG ON SUMMER AS THEY L SAID IN THEY LETTER. THE SHE PROMISE TO DO IN THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER 2016, IT NEVER HAPPEN. TODAY 11/01/2016 AROUND 11.45 I CALLED AGAIN AND THE CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME NOW THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE THE AIRBAG AVAILABLE. I TOLD HER I NEED MY CAR, ESPECIALLY NOW ON WINTER IS WHEN I NEED IT MOST BECAUSE I SUFFER FROM ASTHMA AND IT'S TOO DIFFICULT TO ME GOING AROUND WALKING. SHE PROPOSED I TAKE A CAR FROM A HONDA DEALER FREE OF CHARGE BUT I HAVE TO PAY THE INSURANCE COST. I REFUSE TO PAY ANY MONEY FOR ANY OTHER EXPENSES EXCEPT FOR GAS USAGE. I'M PAYING ALREADY INSURANCE FOR MY CAR SITTING IN A GARAGE WITHOUT USAGE. PLEASE SEE WHAT COULD YOU DO IN ORDER TO SPEED THE WAITING PROCESS THAT IS TAKING LONGER THAN WHAT THE PROMISED. THANK YOU.

THE VTC ACTUATOR IS AN ISSUE ON THIS CAR. THE "RECALL" LISTED FOR THIS VIN IS 36,000 MILES OR 3 YEARS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. THIS IS CRIMINAL AS NO ONE WILL EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME. IT LETS THE MANUFACTURER OFF THE HOOK. HONDA KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AS IT AFFECTS MANY MAKES AND MODELS OF HONDA CARS (THERE IS EVEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE FOR THE 2014 HONDA CRV). THE CAR GRINDS AT THE START, SOMETIMES NOT STARTING AT ALL, DUE TO HIGH OIL CONSUMPTION BECAUSE OF THE FAULTY VTC ACTUATOR. THE COST TO REPLACE THIS PART IS $750 AND DOES NOT EVEN SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN DOCUMENTED THAT THE PROBLEM CAN OFTEN REOCCUR AFTER ANOTHER 10,000 MILES. WE WERE ONCE PLANNING ON STAYING LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS, BUT THIS FRAUDULENCE HAS CONVINCED US TO SWITCH TO A DIFFERENT MANUFACTURER AND TELL EVERYONE WE KNOW TO DO THE SAME. *TR

HE SAID YES. I SAID IF I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF SAFETY ISSUE WHAT CAN BE DONE. THEN HE SAID YOU CAN GET RENTAL CAR FOR ME. WHY NOT MENTIONED THAT I AM SIGNING AN AGREEMENT ABOUT RECALL FIX AND EXPLAIN IT TO ME? WHY CUSTOMER AUTOMATICALLY GETS SIGNED TO AGREEMENT WHEN THEY SIGN FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE SERVICE WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM? WHY MENTIONED ABOUT RENTAL CAR BEFORE I SIGNED AGREEMENT? WHAT HAPPENS TO OTHER CUSTOMER WHO DON'T EVEN READ THEIR OIL CHANGE SERVICE PAPER THAT THEY SIGNED? I LEFT WITH MY OWN CAR, AS I DIDN'T WANT TO CHANGE INTO RENTAL CAR, THINKING THEY WILL CALL ME WITHIN SIXTY DAYS. 3-4 DAYS BEFORE SIXTY DAYS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY NEVER CALLED. MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR 3-4 HRS OF RECALL WORK. ASKED HIM DOES HONDA PROVIDE RENTAL CAR FOR A DAY? HE SAID NO HONDA STOPPED RENTING CAR FOR AIRBAG RECALL FROM SEPTEMBER 15TH. SINCE LAST I WAS THERE ON AUGUST 22ND THEY MIGHT HAVE STOPPED RENTAL CARS FOR RECALL FIX AFTER THAT. WENT THERE FOR RECALL 10/26/2016 I ASKED SAME PERSON RENTAL CAR HONDA STOPPED PROVIDING RENTAL FROM AUGUST 1ST !! I WAS HERE ON AUGUST 22ND FOR MY OIL CHANGE AND THEY SAID YES.
