| Description of the problem | Takata recall: received a recall notice in april 2015 advising to not drive car until drivers side air bag was replaced. Honda provided a rental car until repairs were completed. (approx 3-4 weeks.) july 2015 receive another notice that the side bag is needing replacement and that no one should sit in the passenger front seat until repairs have been made. The letter said late summer or early fall is the date repairs will occur. Called honda and they said they do not provide alternate transportation for passenger seat issues and passengers should sit in the back. I told them that i have 5 members in my family and in a 5 passenger car, someone must sit in the front passenger seat. They told me they would assign a case number and someone would get back to me. That was 3 weeks ago and 6 phone calls to honda and no one has gotten back to me at all. They even had the nerve to say that my case was expedited. It is not safe to drive this car this way and honda should be required to provide alternate transportation until their car is made safe. How many deaths and injuries would justify this expenditure. Please help as i am not the only being treated this way by honda, and it needs to change. |
