"TAKATA RECALL" IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL SENT FROM HONDA, BUT NO RESOLUTION. "PROPELLANT WAFERS IN SOME OF THE SUBJECT INFLATORS MAY DEGRADE OVER TIME, WHICH COULD LEAD TO OVER-AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION IN THE EVENT THE AIRBAG IS ACTIVATED. OVERLY AGGRESSIVE COMBUSTION CREATES EXCESSIVE INTERNAL PRESSURE WHEN THE INFLATOR IS ACTIVATED, WHICH MAY CAUSE THE INFLATOR BODY TO RUPTURE. IN THE EVENT OF INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANT." HONDA HAS SENT THIS "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION," BUT HAS NOT HAD ANY RESOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM. MUST DRIVE CAR DAILY AND DRIVING IN FEAR FOR POSSIBLE MISHAP OR INJURY. *TR

I BEGAN TO HAVE BACK AND NECK PAIN AFTER BUYING A HONDA CIVIC 2007. I FINALLY REALIZED THIS PAIN IS DUE TO THE FORWARD TILT OF THE HEADREST WHICH PUSHES MY HEAD FORWARD AND DOWN WHENEVER I AM SEATED IN THE CAR. I HAVE DEVELOPED SERIOUS NECK PROBLEMS REQUIRING TREATMENT, PHYSICAL THERAPY, AND POSSIBLE SURGERY IN THE FUTURE. THIS HEADREST DESIGN CAUSES PROBLEMS FOR PASSENGERS TOO. THESE HEADRESTS CANNOT BE ADJUSTED TO A COMFORTABLE POSITION. HUNDREDS OF DRIVERS ARE COMPLAINING ONLINE AND IN OTHER WAYS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH HEADRESTS ON HONDA AND OTHER MAKES OF CARS MANUFACTURED TO US "SAFETY" REGULATIONS. THESE HEADRESTS HAVE CAUSED ADDITIONAL SAFETY CONCERNS AS DRIVERS MUST TRY TO ADAPT SEAT AND/OR HEADREST POSITIONS IN ORDER TO EXPERIENCE SOME RELIEF FROM THE PAIN CAUSED BY ABNORMAL BODY POSTURE. I CANNOT AFFORD A NEW CAR. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE NHTSA TO DEVELOP AND PROVIDE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEMS THEY HAVE CREATED WITH THIS DESIGN REGULATION OR TO ALLOW THE CAR MAKERS TO DO SO.

TAKATA INFLATORS -- AIRBAG RECALL LETTER RECEIVED JULY 2016 WHICH SAID PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL. LETTER SAID "HONDA WILL SEND YOU ANOTHER LETTER WHEN PARTS BECOME AVAILABLE TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE". IT'S MID DECEMBER NOW AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED A "PARTS AVAILABLE" LETTER FROM HONDA. VERY INCONVENIENT TO "AVOID HAVING PASSENGER IN FRONT PASSENGER SEAT". JUST CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAY THEY HAVE HAD PARTS FOR QUITE SOME TIME. THEY DON'T KNOW WHY HONDA NEVER SENT THE SECOND LETTER. IN THE MEANTIME, WE HAVE BEEN AT RISK AND INCONVENIENCED. THIS IS A BIG MISTAKE ON THEIR PART AND THERE SHOULD BE FOLLOW UP. *TR

TAKATA RECALL: WE RECEIVED OUR RECALL NOTICE EARLIER THIS YEAR FOR A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG SYSTEM. WE WERE TOLD REPLACEMENT PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY SUMMER/EARLY FALL. IT IS DECEMBER 14 AND WE ARE STILL WAITING. IN THE MEANTIME WE HAVE TO DRIVE OUR CAR, CANNOT USE THE PASSENGER SIDE, WHICH IS A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE, AND ARE WORRIED AND FEAR FOR OUR SAFETY WITH THIS VEHICLE WHILE WE WAIT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND WE ARE EXTREMELY FED UP WITH THE SITUATION. NOT ONLY THIS, BUT WE ARE CLASSIFIED AS A HIGH RISK DUE TO THE PART OF THE COUNTRY WE LIVE IN (GEORGIA) AND ARE SUPPOSED TO RECEIVE PRIORITY TREATMENT DUE TO OUR HEAT AND HIGH HUMIDITY, WHICH ARE APPARENTLY A FACTOR WITH THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG(S). EVERY TIME WE CALL OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP, THEY STATE THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AVAILABLE YET. PLEASE HELP!
