TAKATA RECALL AFTER NUMEROUS MAILINGS FROM HONDA ENCOURAGING ME TO HAVE MY DEFECTIVE AIRBAG REPLACED, I FINALLY CALLED THEIR SERVICE HOTLINE IN MARCH 2019. I EMPHASIZED THE NEED TO OBTAIN A "FREE LOANER VEHICLE" AS BOLDLY ADVERTISED IN THEIR MAILING, AND HOW MY SCHEDULE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO HAVE THE REPAIR DONE WITHOUT SUCH ACCOMMODATIONS. I WAS TOLD I WOULD RECEIVE A RETURN PHONECALL THE NEXT DAY FROM TURNERSVILLE HONDA TO SCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT. TWO WEEKS WENT BY WITHOUT A RETURN CALL, SO I CONTACTED TURNERSVILLE HONDA MYSELF TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT. AFTER ~15MINUTES ON THE PHONE, THE SERVICE REP INFORMED ME THAT THEY "DO NOT OFFER LOANER VEHICLES" DESPITE WHAT WAS STATED IN THE ADVERTISEMENT. I THEN CONTACTED AMERICAN HONDA'S CORPORATE OFFICE TO SEE IF THEY COULD ASSIST IN FULFILLING THEIR PROMISED ACCOMMODATIONS. DESPITE AN ADDITIONAL 3 MONTHS AND A DOZEN PHONECALLS AND PROMISES FOR ASSISTANCE, I AM STILL NO CLOSER TO HAVING THIS DEFECT REPAIRED. MY CASE NUMBER IN THIS MATTER IS 09466794. AS WORKING PARENTS WITH A FULL SCHEDULE, TWO SMALL CHILDREN, AND TWO OLDER PARENTS BATTLING CANCER, WE SIMPLY CANNOT DEAL WITH THESE SORTS OF OBSTACLES IN GETTING A POTENTIALLY DEADLY SAFETY DEFECT REPAIRED. WE EXPECT REASONABLE AND TIMELY ACCOMMODATIONS TO BE MADE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY ARE SO BOLDLY ADVERTISED IN THE RECALL NOTIFICATIONS. I HOPE YOU CAN ENCOURAGE HONDA TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THEIR LEGAL AND MORAL OBLIGATIONS TO REPAIR OUR VEHICLE.
