I am seriously concerned about my safety driving my Acura. I got a safety recall notice from the manufacturer during the month on february, 2016 with multiple calls being placed the manufacturer has no fixed date in resolving the problem. With the safety recall I wasn't able to sell my vehicle since it is defective and there was no solution provided by the manufacturer. Even after multiple calls Acura client relations didn't respond properly and they were not very helpful in resolving my issues. I would kindly request NHTSA to kindly look into the issue and direct Acura accordingly.

Takarta airbag. I have no information that the airbag in my car was fixed. I am also having problems with my car's power. It moves so slow when pulling off.
