THE PASSENGER VISOR WILL NOT GO BACK UP AND HANGS DOWN WHICH COULD HAVE AN EFFECT IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYS, THE VISOR MIGHT SNAP IF IT IS FORCED BACK UP AND VISIBILITY COULD BE A PROBLEM IF THE SUN COMES IN THAT WAY. I HAVE MAJOR CONCERNS FOR DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THE VISOR IS STATIONARY AND IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY AND ON CITY STREETS AS WELL AS TURNING ON ALL ROADS

NHTSA RECALL # 16V346 WAS ISSUED ON JULY 20, 2016 TO REPLACE FAULTY AIRBAGS THAT SPLIT ON IMPACT. THIS NOTICE ONLY REPLACED THE PASSAGE SIDE AIR BAG. I ASSUMED THE DRIVERS SIDE WOULD BE REPLACED AT A LATER DATE BUT AS YET HAVEN'T RECEIVED A NOTICE. ACCORDING TO THE HONDA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL CENTER, MAILED NOTIFICATION TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS AIRBAG WILL BEGIN IN APRIL 2019, BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN, 90 YRS OLD AND STILL DRIVING INDEPENDENTLY. AN IMPACT WITH A FAULTY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WOULD BE DEVASTATING AND POSSIBLY FATAL. THIS IS MY FORMAL CLAIM TO HAVE MY DRIVERS AIRBAG REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

I HAVE ALL MY DOCUMENTATION SHOWING MY MULTIPLE VISITS. MY WIFE AND CHILDREN TRAVEL IN THIS CAR DAILY. I WOULD LIKE SOME HELP FIXING THIS SO MY FAMILY WILL BE PROTECTED IF IN AN ACCIDENT.I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE BUT THE DEALER SAID ITS NOT COVERED. I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT AFTER RECEIVING AN AUTO AIRBAG SETTLEMENT CARD IN THE MAIL. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FROM VALLEY HIGH HONDA IN 2007. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHILE I HAVE BEEN THE OWNER. I WAS TOLD IT WASNT IN ONE PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SAME DEALER THAT THE INFLATOR WIRING WAS DAMAGED AND CAME DISCONNECTED FROM THE INFLATOR SWITCH AND THAT I WAS AT FAULT. ? I RECENTLY HAVE MOVED AND DONT HAVE ALL MY DOCUENTS READILY AVAILABLE, SO I HAVENT ATTACHED THEM YET. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD BEGAN COMING ON SHORTLY AFTER OR NEAR THE TIME OF MY PURCHASE OF THE CAR. I WILL SEND OR ATTACH MY LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION/DOCUMENTS AS SOON AS I CAN GET SETTLED AND LOCATE IT.

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.
