"TAKATA RECALL". THIS RECALL HAS BEEN IN EFFECT FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY CAR. THIS RECALL COULD KILL MYSELF AND MY CHILD AND ANY OTHER PASSENGERS IN MY CAR IF WE WERE TO BE IN A CRASH! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!
Wheels, Feb 28, 2017
I OWN A 2008 HONDA CIVIC. I PURCHASED A SET OF ECOPIA EP 422 TIRES ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO. SINCE THEN I HAVE HAD THREE FLAT TIRES. MY FIRST FLAT HAPPENED WHILE ON MY WAY HOME. I WAS ON A HIGHWAY GOING ABOUT 70 MPH. (MY TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE ON MY DASH IS FAULTY SO I DIDN'T THINK ANYTHING OF IT WHEN IT CAME ON SINCE I ROUTINELY CHECK MY TIRE PRESSURES.) ABOUT A MINUTE LATER I NOTICED THE ROAD NOISE SEEMED LOUDER THAN NORMAL. VERY QUICKLY I STARTED TO FEEL MY TIRE BECOMING FLAT AND MY CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN ON ITS OWN. AS A YOUNG WOMAN I FELT UNSAFE PULLING OVER ON A DARK ROAD IN THE RAIN, AND IN A LOCATION THAT I WAS UNFAMILIAR WITH. I PULLED OFF THE NEXT EXIT AND DROVE VERY SLOWLY UNTIL I COULD PARK IN A WELL LIT GAS STATION. HOWEVER BY THIS TIME TIRE WAS TOTALLY SHREDDED. THIS ALL HAPPENED IN THE TIME SPAN OF 3 MINUTES, THERE WAS LITTLE WARNING OR TIME TO REACT. WHEN I GOT MY SECOND FLAT I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT LOST AIR. THE THIRD FLAT OCCURRED WHEN IT WAS STATIONARY IN A PARKING LOT. I DROVE TO SCHOOL WITH NO PROBLEMS, AND ABOUT TWO HOURS LATER I FOUND THAT MY TIRE HAD LOST IT'S AIR. IN THE LASTTWO INSTANCES, MY TIRE BECAME FLAT WITH NO APPARENT CAUSE; NO NAILS, TEARS, OR GASHES. I HAVE THE ROAD HAZARD WARRANTY WHICH IS WHY I'VE STAYED WITH THIS BRAND, HOWEVER I AM CONSIDERING SWITCHING TO TIRES THAT ARE A LITTLE MORE RELIABLE. THE HEAT SHIELD IN THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL NOW MAKES A NOISE AND I BELIEVE IT WAS DAMAGED DUE TO THE TIRES UNRELIABILITY. EVEN WHEN THE TIRES WERE IN GOOD CONDITION, THE ROAD NOISE AT HIGHER SPEEDS WAS VERY LOUD AND I FOUND THEM TO HAVE POOR TRACTION IN RAIN AND WINTER CONDITIONS. IN THE RAIN, I HAVE TO DRIVE SLOWER THAN OTHER DRIVERS BECAUSE MY CAR WILL HYDROPLANE WHEN IT GOES OVER THE SMALLEST PUDDLE. IN THE WINTER, MY CAR WOULD FISH TAIL CONSTANTLY EVEN WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS. I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH THIS BRAND OF TIRE AT ALL.

TAKATA RECALL (DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG): ON JANUARY 10, 2017 AT APPROXIMATELY 11AM, DRIVER STARTED VEHICLE, PULLED OUT OF A PARKING LOT, DROVE ABOUT 10 FEET AND THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE INVOLVED IN THE INCIDENT, NOR DID DRIVER HIT OR RUN INTO ANY OBJECT ON THE ROAD. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE ABOUT 35-40 DEGREES, PARTLY SUNNY SKIES. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL HONDA DEALER, WHO STATED THE COMPUTER SYSTEM SHOWS IMPACT CONDITIONS CAUSED THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG SENSORS TO FIRE THE AIRBAG. AFTER REPORTING THE INCIDENT TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY, THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AT THE HONDA DEALER, REPORTING THE ISSUE AS "ELECTRONIC FAILURE". THE ADJUSTER'S REPORT ALSO STATES THERE WAS NO IMPACT THAT CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR (NHTSA RECALL # 16V-346), WHICH WAS REPLACED AT NO COST. HOWEVER, THE DRIVERS AIRBAG INFLATOR IS NOT COVERED (ESTIMATE OF REPAIR APPROX. $3,200). IF THE DRIVER WERE 5 MORE MINUTES DOWN THE ROAD, DRIVER WOULD HAVE BEEN ON A 45 MPH ROAD. IF ANYONE ELSE HAS HAD AN ISSUE WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE AIRBAG, PLEASE INFORM THE NHTSA.

THE RECALL NOTICE FOR THIS PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG PROBLEM RECOMMENDS NOT HAVING ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IT HAS BEEN 9 MONTHS SINCE THIS RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED AND MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER INFORMS ME THAT HONDA STILL HAS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. LITERALLY THIS DEFECT CAN KILL A PERSON IN THE EVENT OF A LOW SPEED ACCIDENT THAT TRIGGERS THE AIRBAG. THIS IS A LIFE AND DEATH MATTER AND HONDA HAS NOT FIXED IT IN 9 MONTHS! IN ADDITION TO MAKING MY CAR LESS SAFE, THIS DEFECT PRESUMABLY LOWERS THE RESALE VALUE OF MY VEHICLE.

THIS CAR IS OVERALL GOOD BUT ITS PAINT QUALITY STARTED TO BECOME CHALKY AND DISCOLORED ON THE ROOF AND TRUNK IN 2015. I WONDER IF THIS IS GOING TO GET COVERED BY HONDA AMERICA BECAUSE THIS ISSUE MAKES MY CAR LOOK UGLY AND SO THE VALUE BECOMES AFFECTED. NOTE: I PARK MY CAR IN MY GARAGE MOST OF THE TIME IN CALIFORNIA.
