Takata recall the first safety recall letter was distributed in march. The dealer was contacted in june, as parts were to be available in summer of 2016. The dealer stated that I would be called when the parts had arrived. I called again in august to check on the status of the parts, only to discover they had not even been ordered. I ordered the parts again and now must wait 'two weeks to three months' for the parts to arrive. I feel that the dealer has failed to remedy this life-threatening defect in my vehicle, without charge, within a reasonable time period (60 days from first contact with the dealer for a repair appointment). Considering the serious nature of this safety recall, anything that can be done to expedite this process would be appreciated.

Takata recall last week we were notified that our car has been affected by the takata air bag recall. Up until that time our VIN number was not listed as having been affected. As of the end of march 2016, we are told it now is. We are no longer able to drive our vehicle and have been given a loaner car, for the 'next few months' while our Honda dealer, here in florida, gets the replacement air bag. We are being told they 'hope to be able to replace this by the end of the summer.' we asked, when being told we must sign a liability waiver (in order to get the loaner car) about just trading in the car. The dealer told us, no ' because they could not sell it, repair it, and did not have room to store it on their lot ' so, it is now stored in our driveway ' useless to us, even thou

Front driver side axle rusted and snapped in half - in line with safety recalls #20V769 & #20V770. Currently, it is available for inspection. I am hoping to begin repairs within the next 3 days. I will save the defective parts and take photos for inspection, upon request. This occurred from a complete stop, turning onto an extremely busy highway. I was able roll into the middle lane to avoid collision. My vehicle was disabled in the middle lane for roughly an hour. I exited my vehicle and stood on the side of the road while I waited for a tow truck to arrive. Due to the high traffic, it was unsafe (for other motorists) for my vehicle to remain in the center lane for more than a moment and I was unsafe inside the vehicle. The only indication leading up to the incident was a dull thud fol

2013 crv does not start after being parked o ernight, for an hour, for a couple of hours, and just today for about 10 minutes. This has been happening every 2-3 weeks starting november 2016. Each time requires jumpstart and on two occasions took it to autozone to check battery life and each time have been told there is nothing wrong with the battery. 2013 crv with 25,700 miles. Aside from driving around with jumper cables what can I do now that my 3 year warranty is done?
