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.

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.
