"TANAKA RECALL" 10/04/2009 MY SON WAS IN HIS AUTOMOBILES PASSENGER SEAT AND HIS FRIEND, WHO WAS DRIVING, WENT OFF THE ROAD INTO A GUARDRAIL. THIS HAPPENED ON ROUTE 8 AT EXIT 21 IN SEYMOUR , CT. THE CT. MEDICAL EXAMINER REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER HAD AN AIRBAG AND THAT MY SON DIDN'T IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WE WERE INFORMED BY CELIA, OWNER OF OUR WEST HAVEN FUNERAL PARLOR, THAT OUR SON DIED IMMEDIATELY, HITTING THE TOP OF THE CAR NEAR THE SEAT BELT BRACKET. CELIA HAS A SPECIAL ENDORSEMENT WITH THE STATE OF CT. AND WORKS WITH THE STATES MEDICAL EXAMINER PERSONALLY. WE FEEL THAT OUR SON'S INJURIES/DEATH COULD HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANTLY DIFFERENT IF HIS SIDE AND FRONT AIRBAG WORKED, PERIOD.

ON MARCH 12, 2016 MY WIFE AND I WERE TRAVELING HOME TO SANTA CRUZ FROM OAKLAND ON HIGHWAY 880. WHILE STOPPED IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC WE WERE HIT FROM BEHIND BY A VEHICLE TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED. UNFORTUNATELY, OUR AIR BAGS NEVER DEPLOYED RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO MY WIFE AND MYSELF. WE HAD RECENTLY TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER, OCEAN HONDA IN SOQUEL, CALIFORNIA, AFTER RECEIVING NOTICE THAT THE AIR BAGS ON THE VEHICLE WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OUR CAR WAS COMPLETELY TOTALED AS WAS THE CAR THAT HIT US. WHILE NONE OF OUR AIR BAGS DEPLOYED THE AIR BAGS IN THE VEHICLE THAT STRUCK US ALL DEPLOYED. I'M NOT SURE ALL OF OUR INJURIES COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THE AIR BAGS HAD DEPLOYED, BUT I'M SURE THE EXTENT OF OUR INJURIES WOULD HAVE BEEN LESSENED. I DON'T KNOW IF THE RECALL WORK DONE ON OUR CAR WAS NEGLIGENT, OR IF THEY JUST TURNED OFF THE AIR BAG SYSTEM. BUT WHATEVER WAS OR WAS NOT DONE HAS HAD A SERIOUS IMPACT ON MY WIFE AND MYSELFI.

THE SRS AND SIDE AIRBAG LIGHTS ARE ILLUMINATED ON THE FRONT DASH. AFTER HAVING THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL PERFORMED ON MY CAR, I WAS TOLD THAT THESE LIGHTS WERE UNRELATED. INSTEAD, I WOULD NEED TO PAY SOMEWHERE BETWEEN $600-$1,000 TO HAVE THE SRS CONTROL UNIT REPLACED, WHICH MAY SOLVE THE ISSUE. IN THE MEANTIME, MY SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK IN A CRASH. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY INCIDENTS YET (NO CRASHES) BUT FEEL THAT I AM AT RISK IF I WERE TO BE IN A CRASH DURING WHICH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD NORMALLY OCCUR.

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON 3/23/15, WHICH I BOOKED ONLINE. I WAS ABLE TO BOOK MY RECALL SERVICE FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATER ONLINE AS WELL, WHICH NO ISSUES. I WAS ASKED WHEN I BROUGHT IN THE CAR IF I HAD CALLED TO ORDER PARTS, I HAD NOT AS THERE WAS NO INDICATION WHEN I BOOKED THAT I NEEDED TO DO SO. I WAS SIMPLY TOLD PARTS WOULD BE ORDERED FOR ME AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY WERE IN. AFTER TWO WEEKS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ON MY ORDERED PARTS, I WAS TOLD PARTS CAN TAKE "2 TO 3 DAYS OR ONE TO TWO MONTHS" TO GET IN DUE TO A BACKLOG. I CONTACTED HONDA VIA SOCIAL MEDIA AND WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH ME. TWO WEEKS LATER I STILL HAVE YET TO RECEIVE PARTS, HEAR FROM MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP OR HEAR FROM ANYONE IN HONDA'S CUSTOMER SERVICE DEPARTMENT. MY INITIAL RECALL NOTICE INDICATES THIS IS A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING, DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AND YET DESPITE MY BEST EFFORTS I AM STILL STUCK WITH FAULTY PARTS AND NO TIMELINE FOR REPAIRS. A TWO MONTH WAIT FOR PARTS IN A DANGEROUS RECALL IS IRRESPONSIBLE AND POTENTIALLY LEAVES ME LIABLE IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING THESE PARTS AS I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THEIR DANGER BUT OTHERWISE UNABLE TO REPLACE THEM. *TR

WE ARE FILING A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT AGAINST AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY/TAKATA FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN THE 2001 HONDA CIVIC CAR. WE MADE CONTACT WITH AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY LAST YEAR ABOUT THE SEVERE INJURIES THAT THE DEPLOYED AIRBAG CAUSED TO MY WIFE AND THEY ARE NOT TAKING ANY RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. ON 11/14/2013, A NEGLIGENT DRIVER CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT PUT MY WIFE'S LIFE IN GRAVE DANGER. MY WIFE WAS WEARING HER SEAT BELT AND AIRBAGS WERE DEPLOYED. MY WIFE IMMEDIATELY FELT PAIN IN HER ENTIRE BODY AND COULDN'T MOVE. POLICE AND PARAMEDICS WERE CALLED AND SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT. UPON MEDICAL EXAMINATION IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SHE HAD A THORACIC BURST FRACTURE AT T12 AND A T11 COMPRESSION FRACTURE, FRACTURE TO R LAMINA AND PARS OF T12 AS WELL. SHE HAD A RIB FRACTURE AND PULMONARY CONTUSION. THESE WERE LIFE-THREATENING INJURIES. SHE NEEDED TO HAVE IMMEDIATE SPINAL FUSION SURGERY FOR THE T10-L2 AREA OF HER SPINE. WE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY AND PROVIDED DOCUMENTS THROUGH FAXES AND EMAIL AND EACH TIME THEY SAID THEY DID NOT RECEIVE OUR DOCUMENTS. THEY CONSISTENTLY SAID THEY DID NOT RECEIVE OUR DOCUMENTS, ALTHOUGH WE HAVE FAX CONFIRMATION AND EMAIL SHOWING THAT DOCUMENTS WERE SENT SUCCESSFULLY TO AMERICAN HONDA. THEN ON 1/21/2015 MARION COOLEY FROM AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY CALLED AND SAID THEY CANNOT PROVIDE MY WIFE WITH COMPENSATION FOR HER MEDICAL INJURIES. IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY DID ANY INVESTIGATION AND THEY WERE NOT WILLING TO ACCOMMODATE US. MY WIFE HAS TO LIVE WITH PERMANENT LIMITATIONS DUE TO THE SPINAL INJURIES FROM THAT ACCIDENT FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE. MY WIFE CAN NO LONGER CONDUCT HERSELF AS THE SAME PERSON BEFORE THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED. AMERICAN HONDA COMPANY/TAKATA NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INJURIES THAT THE AIRBAG CAUSED....UPDATED 02-03-15 *BF

THE SRS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON IN MY VEHICLE FOR SOME TIME. I TOOK IN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER (METRO HONDA, JERSEY CITY, NJ) FOR THE AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL, BUT AFTER I LEFT, THE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. ON MY NEXT VISIT I INQUIRED ABOUT THIS, AND THE DEALER TOLD ME I NEED A NEW SRS SYSTEM, AT A COST OF $730+ AND THAT HONDA WILL NOT COVER THE COST. AND, UNTIL I FIX THE SRS SYSTEM, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. I CALLED HONDA ON NOVEMBER 10, 2014, AND THEY CONFIRMED THAT I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS OUT OF POCKET AS THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL ISSUED. SO, NOW I AM DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. *TR

MY MOTHER WAS STOPPED AND WAITING TO MAKE A LEFT-HANDED TURN INTO HER NEIGHBORHOOD WHEN SHE WAS REAR ENDED AND SENT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. HER AIRBAG DEPLOYED AND SHE SURVIVED LONG ENOUGH TO TALK TO MY DAD AND TELL HIM SHE HAD PAIN IN HER CHEST. SHE DIED ON THE WAY TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE CAUSE OF DEATH WAS A RUPTURED AORTA WHICH WAS FROM THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. SHE WAS 64 YEARS OLD AND WAS STOPPED MAKING A SIMPLE TURN INTO HER NEIGHBORHOOD. I KNOW IT WAS THE AIRBAG THAT KILLED HER, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I KNOW THEY HAVE RECALLED THE MAKE AND MODEL OF HER HONDA CIVIC DUE TO FAULTY AIRBAGS. *TR
