Takata front passenger side ceiling airbag and front passenger seat airbag deployed without impact or collision after I left my garage and drove less than a quarter of a mile. There was an excessive heat warning and higher-than-average humidity. I suffered auditory injuries due to the high-decibel explosion the Takata airbags produced in the sealed cab of my car. My insurance has ruled my vehicle a total loss (with no fault of my own).

Two Acura representatives called after I registered my airbag deployment on Honda's website. The first representative treated me, "I can have you arrested." during o

Was told by my aura dealer that my vehicle was unsafe to drive in may 2016. It has been parked in my garage since that time, awaiting parts to repair or replace the takata airbag. I leased the car in december 2014, and was not told of the recall until may 2016, nor was I told that the car had a takata airbag when I entered into the lease.

I requested a moratorium on lease payments from Acura leasing, until the car was driveable, which they refused to do. I asked the dealer, napleton Acura to swap out the car/lease for another car/lease without the airbag problems, which they would not do without a significant monetary penalty. The takata airbags have been a problem dating

Car completely shut off while pulling into a parking spot. All lights on dashboard flashed. ABS breaks was most dominate issue being flashed after other lights settled. Car would not start for 4 hours. Very dangerous since it shut off during moving. Luckily at a low speed. Dealer said it was low voltage from battery. They did nothing. They told me voltage was low on a diagnostics test they did. Told me not to use radio while car is off. This still is a problem because it should have charged fully after my ride.
