TAKATA RECALL - MY COMPLAINT IS WITH THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT IS TAKING FOR PARTS TO BECOME AVAILABLE TO REPAIR A HONDA CIVIC I PURCHASED FOR MY DAUGHTER AND HER FAMILY. I RECEIVED A LETTER IN JULY 2016 INDICATING THAT THE 'REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT PASSENGER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN LATE SUMMER/FALL OF 2016'. I ALSO WAS ADVISED I WOULD RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE VEHICLE IS REPAIRED I WAS ADVISED: "HONDA SUGGESTS THAT YOU AVOID HAVING A PASSENGER SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER'S SEAT UNTIL THE RECALL REPAIR HAS BEEN PERFORMED." AS OF TODAY, DECEMBER 30, 2016, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE 2ND LETTER. IT IS EXTREMELY STRESSFUL FOR A MOTHER TO HAVE HER CHILD SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHEN SHE KNOWS THIS POSES A DANGER. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CAR IS USED FOR A SINGLE MOM WITH THREE CHILDREN, THERE ARE NO OTHER OPTIONS. I FEEL HONDA SHOULD COMPENSATE FAMILIES BY PROVIDING A SAFE RENTAL CAR UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE CAR AFFECTED BY THE RECALL. THANK YOU FOR READING MY CONCERN. *TR
