Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, wheel speed sensor/tone ringSep 5, 2007
ON CERTAIN VEHICLES, THE WHEEL SPEED SENSOR HOUSING USES AN O-RING SEAL TO PREVENT LEAKAGE TO OR FROM THE WHEEL BEARING. IF ASSEMBLED IMPROPERLY, THE O-RING MAY NOT SEAL PROPERLY ALLOWING WATER TO ENTER THE WHEEL BEARING AND EVENTUALLY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE BEARING, ESPECIALLY IN AREAS WHERE USE OF ROAD SALT IS PREVALENT. IF THE DRIVER CONTINUES TO DRIVE WITH THIS CONDITION IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE WHEEL BEARING TO BECOME LOOSE, WHICH COULD CAUSE THE BEARING TO FAIL.
THIS COULD CAUSE A WHEEL TO FALL OFF OF THE VEHICLE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A CRASH.

TAKATA RECALL: I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING A HONDA DEALERSHIP THAT HAS FAILED TO HELP WITH MY RECALL. I CONTACTED THE HONDA OF SERRAMONTE WHEN I FIRST GOT A LETTER IN THE MAIL IN OCTOBER 2016. SINCE THEN I HAVE CALLED TWICE AND THEY TOLD ME IT MAY TAKE A MONTH TO GET THE PARTS IN ONCED I HAVE ORDERED IT, WHICH I DID. I THEN CALLED AFTER ANOTHER TWO MONTHS AND THEY FORWARDED ME TO THE PERSON THAT IS IN CHARGE OF THE RECALL. SHE ONLY HAD A VOICEMAIL AND I LEFT ONE FOR HER. EACH TIME I CALLED, I GOT FORWARDED FROM PERSON TO PERSON AND NO ONE REALLY HELPING ME DEAL WITH THE ISSUE. EVERYDAY I'M DRIVING AROUND WORRIED THAT IF SOMETHING HAPPENS WITH MY AIRBAG, HOW WILL I HAVE A RECORD OF REPORTING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TO GET IT FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL: I TOOK MY CAR TO POWAY HONDA (POWAY, CA 92064). THEY CHARGED ME A DIAGNOSTIC FEE TO FIX THIS RECALL. I DON'T THINK IT WAS FAIR THAT I HAVE TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC FEE, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY THE RECALL. MY WIFE HAD TAKEN THE CAR TO DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALER. THE DEALER CALLED ME TELLING ME THAT THE SRS LIGHT WAS ON WHEN MY WIFE DROPPED IT OFF (I LATER FOUND OUT FROM MY WIFE THAT THEY WERE LYING ABOUT THIS - THE SRS LIGHT WAS NOT ON WHEN SHE DROPPED IT OFF). THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE FIXING THE RECALL DIDN'T CAUSE THE LIGHT TO GO OFF THERE WAS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG AND THEY NEEDED TO RUN ADDITIONAL DIAGNOSTICS FOR WHICH THEY CHARGED ME $120.88. AFTER RUNNING THE DIAGNOSTICS THEY SAID THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR... I TOLD THEM THAT WAS WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR, THEN HE QUICKLY CHANGED HIS STORY A COUPLE OF TIMES FROM IT BEING THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG AND THEN THE PASSENGER AGAIN. IT SOUNDED A LITTLE SUSPICIOUS, AND MY SUSPICIONS WERE CONFIRMED AFTER TALKING TO MY WIFE, WHO STATED THAT THE SRS NOR ANY OTHER WARNING LIGHT WAS ON.

WE HAVE WAITED OVER 6 MONTHS TO GET THIS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING RECALL REPAIRED, AND NEITHER THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER, NOR AMERICAN HONDA, IS DOING ANYTHING TO GET THIS REPAIRED. I'M NOT SURE IF I NEED TO GET AN ATTORNEY INVOLVED, OR NOT.
