2008 Honda CR-V

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA CR-V. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V061000 (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 MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, BRAKES STARTED TO VIBRATE & UPON TAKING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WAS INFORMED THAT THE PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES IS IS A FAULTY ABS MODULE. THIS WAS AFTER NEW BRAKES HAD BEEN INSTALLED, NEW ROTORS, PAID TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM BLED TWICE (ABOUT $700). TO INSTALL A NEW ABS MODULE, THE COST IS $2,100 JUST FOR THE PART FROM HONDA. THE CAR IS NOW DANGEROUS TO DRIVE WITHOUT THE PART. HONDA DEALERSHIP SERVICE SHOP FOREMAN INFORMED ME THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THESE CARS. IN ADDITION, I RECEIVED A LETTER THAT THERE IS A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR THIS CAR IN MARCH, NOW IT IS APRIL AND THOSE NEW PARTS HAVE NOT BEEN RECEIVED BY THE DEALER YET. I HAVE A CAR SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY THAT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE NOW 1) IT NEEDS A $2100 PART, WHICH THE SERVICE FOREMAN TELLS ME IS NOT GUARANTEED TO LAST BECAUSE THEY ARE FAULTY; AND 2) THERE IS AN AIRBAG PART THAT IS NOT AVAILABLE AT ANY DEALERSHIP THAT I HAVE CHECKED; AND 3) THE FACTORY ALARM WILL NOT SET, I HAVE HAD IT CHECKED BY TWO HONDA DEALERSHIPS AND THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2008 HONDA CR-V. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED BRUISES TO THE CHEST AND NECK, WHICH REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL FOR MY AIRBAGS STATING THAT "THE DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES COULD KILL OR INJURE YOU OR OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR VEHICLE." HOWEVER, THE PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL SUMMER SOMETIME. WE WILL STORE YOUR CAR AND PROVIDE YOU A RENTAL. SOUNDS FAIR, UNTIL THEY TELL ME THAT I WILL BE PUT INTO A COMPACT CAR FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. I PURCHASED AN SUV BECAUSE IT SUITS MY FAMIIES NEEDS. A COMPACT CAR IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE REPLACEMENT FOR MY SUV. AS I SEE IT, HONDA HAS A SITUATION THAT THEY NEED TO REMEDY AND ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. IT IS UP TO THEM TO PROVIDE ME WITH A COMPARABLE VEHICLE WHILE I WAIT FOR THEIR PARTS TO ARRIVE. I REGRET THE DAY I EVER PURCHASED A HONDA. THIS IS THE THIRD RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE, AND AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED, THE LAST STRAW. I AM FURIOUS, UNSATISFIED AND SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE MY FAMILY IN MY CAR. I WILL BE TAKING MY STORY TO THE NEWS, SO THAT MAYBE SOMEONE WILL STEP UP AND MAKE THIS RIGHT.

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK OUR CAR IN TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPAIRED. MOISES AT OUR ALHAMBRA HONDA DEALER SAID THE BAGS WERE ON BACK ORDER AND WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE TILL MID-SUMMER. WE HAVE TWO OPTIONS HE SAID, EITHER WE COULD TAKE A "FREE" RENTAL FROM THEM, WHICH WILL COST MY DAUGHTER $12 PER DAY TO INSURE, OR SHE COULD CONTINUE TO RISK HER LIFE BY DRIVING THE VEHICLE TILL THE PARTS COME. EITHER WAY, THEY WANT US TO SIGN A WAIVER THAT ABSOLVES THEM FROM ANY LIABILITY SHOULD THINGS GO WRONG. I FIND IT HARD TO GET MY HEAD AROUND THE FACT THAT I SHOULD PAY HONDA OR TAKATA ANYTHING FOR KEEPING MY DAUGHTER OUT OF HARMS WAY. I NEED TO KNOW FROM YOU IF NHTSA HAS SIGNED OFF ON THIS DISINGENUOUS "RESCUE PACKAGE" THAT HONDA HAS DEVISED TO SHIRK THEIR LIABILITY. IF SO, I WILL BE CONTACTING MY CONGRESSMAN, XAVIER BECERRA TO TRY TO RECTIFY THIS BAD DEAL. IF NOT, WILL YOU PLEASE ADVISE US WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS URGENT MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL - HONDA IGNORES MY REPEATED REQUESTS FOR A MANAGER TO RETURN MY CALL - AFTER RECEIVING MY NOTIFICATION LETTER, I CALLED HONDA REGARDING THIS RECALL. I ASKED TO HAVE A "CASE MANAGER" FOR THIS ISSUE, AND WAS ASSIGNED ONE. HOWEVER NO CASE MANAGER HAS EVER CALLED ME DESPITE SIX SEPARATE CALLS TO REQUEST TO SPEAK TO ONE. I HAVE ALSO CALLED MULTIPLE TIMES TO SPEAK TO A MANAGER AND HAVE BEEN PROMISED ONE WILL CALL ME BACK BY THAT DAY. AFTER OVER A WEEK AND MULTIPLE REQUESTS, STILL NOT ONE HONDA REPRESENTATIVE HAS RETURNED MY CALL. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND WITH AN UNSAFE CAR FROM HONDA AND THEY HAVE IGNORED MY REPEATED REQUESTS TO HAVE A CASE MANAGER TO HELP ME WITH THIS ISSUE. ALSO, THEY OFFERED ME A RENTED CAR FOR ONLY UP TO $35.00 A DAY - HOWEVER FOR THAT BUDGET IT IS A SMALL COMPACT CAR THAT CANNOT FIR MY CAR SEATS. I WENT TO THE HONDA DEALER SERVICE MANAGER AND TOLD THEM WITH THAT BUDGET I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO GET A CAR THAT WILL FIT MY CAR SEATS - HE SAID THAT'S THE BUDGET AND HONDA WILL NOT PAY A PENNY MORE. SO NOW BECAUSE OF THIS HONDA RECALL, I HAVE TO PAY AN EXTRA $10.00 A DAY TILL THEY GET THIS PART - SOMETIME IN SUMMER 2016!!! NOT ONLY DID HONDA NOT EVEN HAVE THEIR "CASE MANAGER" OR MANAGER RETURN A CONCERNED CONSUMERS REQUEST TO TALK TO SOMEONE AFTER LEAVING MULTIPLE MESSAGES, BUT NOW THIS RECALL IS COSTING ME MONEY. I WILL NEVER BUY A CAR FROM HONDA AGAIN, THEY ARE NEGLIGENT AND TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH DISRESPECT.
