| Description of the problem | Takata recall - i first received a recall letter from honda regarding the airbag recall form 2008 crv last winter. The letter said parts would not be available until summer, and they would notify me then as to replacing the airbags. I began calling two local dealers who said they did not have the parts, but would notify me when they do. Meanwhile, i have to keep driving the "unsafe" vehicle. I continue to call them, they do have my information on file, and i make them verify that by giving me the vin number each time i call so i know i am in the queue. Meanwhile, today i received a letter from honda saying it is important that i respond. Do i still own the vehicle? They have my vin number. I would hope that when the dealer records it in the waiting list, the data would be uploaded to honda's database. Apparently not, the number is on the letter. But that's just one of the many annoyances. My biggest issue is that i have a vehicle that they are telling me is very unsafe for me or a passenger, yet they expect me to continue using this vehicle until they decide to fix it.. I would think they have huge liability. In addition, a friend had the airbags replied in her civic last winter at the same dealer, diamond valley honda in hemet, california. What is this? Please look into this. In spite of honda's pr efforts (and money spent), neither they nor the dealer display any true sense of urgency in protecting the safety of the owners. I have owned only honda vehicles since 1980, and sorry to say this definitely taints my loyalty. |
