Description of the problem | "takata recall" i found out my vehicle was on the recall list in february 2016, even before i received my recall letter which was march 29, 2016. I have been driving a vehicle that could seriously injure me or even kill me and do serious harm to any passengers as well as someone else on the road. I have been driving for 4 years like this with no concern whatsoever from the honda company. I take my granddaughters and elderly mother in my vehicle a lot and they could have been hurt. Yes, honda has given me a rental, after much confusion and complaining, but i did not buy my expensive 2012 honda ridgeline to have it sit in my garage until they think it can be fixed. I have been told by the dealer that the summer of 2016 timing will probably not happen. These vehicles are dangerous to be driving and honda had me sign a paper that i would not drive mine. Why doesn't honda take back the vehicles and replace them with a new, safer vehicle? My vehicle only has 20,000 plus miles on it and is like new. Even replacing the airbags are scary because, if they use takata again, how do we know these newer airbags are safe? We should put some of these executives in these vehicles and let them drive them. It's like playing russian roulette with our lives! |
