2007 Honda Civic

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS PARKED IN MICHAELS CRAFT STORES PARKING LOT. I PULLED FORWARD TO LEAVE I DIDNT SEE THE CURB/MEDIAN/SIDEWALK IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I PULLED FORWARD I HIT THEM AND BOTH OF MY AIR BAGS WENT OFF. I BRUISED MY FOREARMS, HURT MY LEFT PINKIE/HAND AND MY BACK HAS BEN HURTING ME. I KNOW THEIR IS A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS BUT IM NOT SURE IF MY AIRBAGS GOING OFF SO EASILY HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V346000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

ON JULY 4, 2016 MY VEHICLE STARTED TO OVERHEAT I PULLED OVER JUST IN TIME TO ADD COOLANT AND WATER. 6 WEEKS LATER SAME THING. I PULLED IN PARKING SPOT AND FILLED IT UP AGAIN. VEHICLE WAS FINE. ON AUGUST 28TH I WAS DRIVING UP MT. SOLEDAD GOING 25 MPH WITH AC ON LOWEST NOTCH RPMS BELOW 3. THEN AS I STOPPED TO TURN LEFT MY ENGINE STOPPED (SEIZED ) I PULLED MY E-BRAKE AND SAFELY HAD MY BF WITH BY STANDER PUSH MY VEHICLE WHILE IN NEUTRAL. THEN I TRIED TO START VEHICLE NOTHING. AAA CAME OUT SAID MAYBE ITS FUEL PUMP, FUSES, SPARK PLUGS. THE NEXT DAY AFTER MY CAR HAD BEEN SITTING. I SPENT ALL AFTERNOON TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR ALTERNATOR, FUSE, FUEL PUMP USSUES. NEXT DAY MY MECHANIC FRIEND CAME OVER TROUBLESHOOTING THE SPARK PLUGS, FUEL PUMP AND DID ENGINE COMPRESSION TEST NONE. MY HEART SANK. THEN HE SAID THIS CAR HAS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH A REPAIR WOULD BE OR NEW ENGINE HE SAID ABOUT 1800. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUNDS 100S MAYBE 1000S OF REPORTS ON THIS SECRET EXTENDED WARRANTY ON CRACKED ENGINE BLOCK ON MODELS 2006 TO 2009 HONDA CIVIC. MOST REPORTS WERE THAT HONDA COULDN'T DO ANYTHING IF YOUR VEHICLE WAS DEEMED SALVAGE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. THE PREVIOUS OWNER MY MOTHER OR, MYSELF COULD'VE BEEN IN BAD ACCIDENT ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN ZERO ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD IMPACT THE ENGINE ASIDE FROM TINY FENDER BENDERS IN THE SHOPPING MARKET. I BELIEVE ALL HONDA OWNERS SHOULD COMPLAIN ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES WITH BAD ENGINE BLOCK. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. A LAWSUIT WOULD HAVE FOLOWED IF I ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL DUE TO THEIR POOR QUALITY DANGEROUS DEFECT WITH ENGINE BLOCK. THIS ISN'T OVER. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.

WEIGHT SENSOR 83-22 NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AFTER I HAD THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE RESOLVED, IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING HONDA, THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON!! UPON MY IMMEDIATE RETURN, I WAS TOLD IT SHOULD BE COVERED SINCE IT IS INTERNAL IN THE SEAT, AND SHOULD BE COVERED JUST LIKE AIRBAG/SEATBELTS. I CAN NOT HAVE ANYONE SIT IN THAT SEAT UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED AND NOW I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR IT....APPROXIMATELY $600

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN THREE MONTHS SINCE THE TAKATA RECALL, AND APPROXIMATELY 6 WEEKS SINCE I RECEIVED MY RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL (NOTE THE DELAY BEFORE CONSUMERS RECEIVED THIS CRITICAL SAFETY INFO). IT IS UNACCEPTABLE THAT ANY FRONT PASSENGERS' SAFETY IS AT RISK AND FOR SO LONG WITHOUT ANY REMEDY OR EVEN AN UPDATE FROM HONDA AS TO WHEN ONE MIGHT BE AVAILABLE. I HAVE CALLED LOCAL DEALERS AND IT SEEMS THEY TOO ARE UNSURE. HONDA SHOULD BE GIVING US TEMPORARY LEASES OR SOMETHING TO ENSURE SAFETY WHILE ALL THOSE AFFECTED WAIT. I HAVE BARELY USED MY CAR SINCE I RECEIVED THE NOTICE IN FEAR OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN SHOULD MY AIRBAGS DEPLOY, AND I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO TRANSPORT A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT WITH ME FOR THE SAME REASON. AGAIN, THIS EXCESSIVE DELAY IS UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL ON JUNE 20, 2016, I NOTICED MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED, AND I SPOKE TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO INFORMED ME THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PART WOULD BE IN AND THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME. ON 7/26/2016, I CALLED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO REPLACE THE AIR BAG - IN RESPONSE TO A LETTER I HAD RECEIVED FROM HONDA. I WAS SWITCHED TO THE PARTS DEPARTMENT, WHERE I WAS INFORMED THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER, AND THEY WILL CALL ME WHEN IT IS IN. THE LETTER ALSO ADVISED THAT I AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNTIL RECALL REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. AS OF AUGUST 26, 2016, I HAVE NOT YET BEEN CALLED, AND I CANNOT TRANSPORT ANY PASSENGERS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS INCIDENT HAS INTERFERED SUBSTANTIALLY WITH MY USE AND ENJOYMENT OF MY VEHICLE, AND IT IS TAKING AN INORDINATE AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPAIR. I BELIEVE I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THE VEHICLE LOSS OF USE AS WELL AS HAVING THE AIR BAG INFLATOR REPAIRED.
