2010 HONDA FIT Air Bags Problems

I called the Honda dealership in Concord California on 12/2/2024 for the 20V-770 recall as well as the airbag shrapnel issue. They checked with the service manager and refused to inspect the drive train unless there “Was a problem with the car”. They refused to repair the air bags unless “something happens, hopefully nothing happens then we can look at it.” They offered to have the airbags repaired at our expense. What is the point of having a recall if the dealers refuse to even look at the car until it crashes or hits you with shrapnel?

WE KEEP GETTING NOTIFICATIONS THAT WE NEED TO REPLACE OUR AIR BAGS. BOTH THE LEFT AND RIGHT BAGS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BY GUSTMAN IN APPLETON, WI. THEY SAID THAT THEY NOTIFIED YOU AND I PERSONALLY HAVE SENT PAPERWORK. I REFUSE TO SEND MORE AND WOULD LIKE TO BE TAKEN OFF THE LIST. I WILL NOW BE DESTROYING THIS MAILING AND WILL NOT OPEN ANY MORE. I WILL SEND THEM BACK TO YOU

TAKATA RECALL!!!!! FIRST IT WAS DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG AFTER SEPARATELY PAYING $700 TO GET MPG BACK TO SPEC. AIRBAG: ENTERED DEALER GETTING 33 MPG, LEFT GETTING 28MPG. SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN A REPAIR SHOP DID MY EMISSIONS TEST. A FRIEND GOT MPG AGAIN BACK TO SPEC 33 CHARGED $125 (NOT $700). NOW HONDA WANTS TO FIX THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG!!! WANTED $1000 TO REPLACE A DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD WITH A NEW DEFECTIVE WINDSHIELD. GOOGLE SEARCH THE GUY WHO GOT FOUR OF THEM!!! SAFELITE CHARGED ~$450. SEVERAL PEOPLE SAID NOTHING IS "FREE" ABOUT RECALLS, AND I DO NOT WANT HONDA TOUCHING MY CAR!!! I HAVE COMMUNICATED, THAT I WANT SOMEONE I CAN TRUST TO DO THE AIRBAG, TO AT LEAST 5 HONDA REPRESENTATIVES AND THEIR RESPONSE IS ALWAYS THE SAME: SILENCE! ... AND THEN MORE SCREAMING RED MAIL!!!! WELL I AM SCREAMING TOO!!!!! TELL ME OF AN INDEPENDENT NON-HONDA SHOP I CAN TAKE IT TO, AND I WILL BE HAPPY TO GET THIS DEADLY THING OUT OF MY CAR!!!!! NOW YOU WANT A DATE????? BEEN HARASSED AND RIPPED OFF FOR YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I SHOULD JUST SELL THAT DEADLY PC OF JUNK!!!!! THERE IS MORE UNRELATED STUFF I COULD WASTE YOUR TIME AND MINE TELLING YOU

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V661000 (AIR BAGS). KENDALL HONDA (846 GOODPASTURE ISLAND RD, EUGENE, OR 97401, (855) 981-5504) REPAIRED THE VEHICLE MONTHS AFTER THE PART WAS RECEIVED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

I HAD ONCE OWN THIS VEHICLE IN WHICH I WAS MAKING PAYMENTS. I HAD SLID ON ICE AND SNOW ONE YEAR AND WENT INTO A DITCH AND HIT A MAIL BOX WHICH WAS ATTACHED TO A POST. THERE WAS DAMAGE UNDERNEATH AS WELL AS A LITTLE DAMAGE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIR BAG NEVER DID DEPLOY AND I RECENTLY HAD A NOTICE IN THE MAIL THAT THE VEHICLE MAY BE LISTED HAVING A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG

I CONTACTED THE DEALER HONDA COGIN LOCATED IN ORLANDO - FL TWICE AND I CAN NOT MAKE THE EXCHANGE,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2010 HONDA FIT. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A BRIDGE CEMENT POST. WHILE SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS VEERING TO THE RIGHT. THE CONTACT DID NOT RECALL ANY WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER WAS 84 YEARS OLD AND POSSIBLY UNAWARE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY, BUT THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS AND SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT BELTS WERE ENGAGED. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BROKEN STERNUM AND THE PASSENGER SUSTAINED BUMPS AND BRUISES TO BOTH KNEES AND ARMS. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED TO DETERMINE THE AIR BAG FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,323. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM HONDA IN JULY 2016 ALERTING ME OF THE RECALL AFFECTING PASSENGER AIRBAGS AND THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED WHEN A REMEDY WAS AVAILABLE. AS OF FEBRUARY 26, 2017, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED INFORMATION BY MAIL OF ANY REMEDY. FURTHERMORE, I WAS NOT MADE AWARE BY HONDA THAT A RECALL WAS IMPLEMENTED FOR DRIVER AIR BAGS.

HONDA HAS REPLACED THE DRIVER AIRBAG BUT NOT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. BOTH THE DEALER HERE IN IL AND HONDA ON THE WEST COAST INITIALLY INDICATED THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL - HOWEVER, THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT TELL ME WHAT BRAND OR MAKE OF PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS INSTALLED. IT SEEMED VERY STRANGE TO ME THAT A CAR MANUFACTURER WHO UTILIZES JUST-IN-TIME PARTS INSTALLATION WOULD HAVE A TAKATA AIRBAG FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AND A NON-TAKATA (OR DIFFERENT MODEL TAKATA AIRBAG) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE - THUS I REQUESTED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE MGR ON THE WEST COAST CONTACT HONDA JAPAN TO DETERMINE THE EXACT MAKE/MODEL OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. IN EARLY DECEMBER 2016 HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE STATED THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS INDEED A TAKATA AIRBAG OF THE TYPE REQUIRING REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD AN ADDITIONAL RECALL WOULD BE FORTHCOMING AND THAT I SHOULD SECURE REPLACEMENT IN 2017. I HAVE CHECKED YOUR SAFER.GOV WEBSITE WITH MY VIN AND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG HAS NOT BEEN ADDED. HAS HONDA APPRISED YOU THAT ADDITIONAL AIRBAGS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT, AND IF SO, WHEN WILL YOU UPDATE YOUR WEBSITE TO REFLECT SAME. THE DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAG GRATIS UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE UNIT IS RECALLED. AWAIT YOUR ADVICE/UPDATE. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING HERITAGE HONDA IN WESTMINSTER MD FOR OVER A YEAR IN RESPONSE TO A SAFETY RECALL LETTER TO REPAIR MY AIRBAGS, BUT WAS TOLD THE REPAIR PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. A YEAR??????? WHEN WILL HONDA REPAIR THE FAULTY AIRBAG INFLATOR? I FEEL MY SAFETY IS IN JEOPARDY. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THE NOTICE FOR THE PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL IN JULY 2016 AND CALLED TO FOLLOW UP WITH THE NOTICE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE PART WOULD BE IN WITHIN A MONTH, BUT HAVE FOLLOWED UP MULTIPLE TIMES REGARDING THIS BECAUSE THE PART HAS BEEN BACKLOGGED. IT HAS BEEN OVER 60 DAYS SINCE MY INITIAL PHONE CALL RELAYING MY CONCERN WITH THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR. HONDA HAS FAILED TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME. ALL THEY TELL ME EACH TIME I CALL IS TO WAIT UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. THIS IS THE ONLY CAR THAT OUR FAMILY USES TO COMMUTE TO/FROM WORK, AND SEEING AS HOW WE HAVE A FULL FAMILY, SOMEONE HAS TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. BEING PREGNANT, I AM CONCERNED FOR MY AND MY BABY'S SAFETY. I DO NOT APPRECIATE EXPRESSING MY CONCERNS FOR MY SAFETY AND HONDA'S RESPONSE BEING TO JUST SIT AND WAIT UNTIL THE PART COMES IN. THEY SHOULD BE MAKING MORE OF AN EFFORT TO FIX THIS ISSUE, ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2016. I AM HIGHLY DISAPPOINTED IN HONDA'S SERVICE.

TAKATA RECALL. TWO LETTERS FROM HONDA BUT NO REMEDY GIVEN.

"TACIT RECALL" I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL TO CONTACT NEAREST HONDA DEALERSHIP. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED ABOUT THE RECALL AND HOW TO GET IT FIXED. THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS AND JUST TO KEEP CALLING BECAUSE THEY HAD NO IDEA WHEN THEY WOULD GET THE PARTS IN. IT HAS BEEN 3 WEEKS OF ME CALLING AND ASKING AND STILL THEY HAVE NO INFORMATION. I DRIVE AROUND MY DISABLED FATHER AND THIS IS VERY SCARY FOR THE BOTH OF US.

THE RECALL OF THIS IMPORTANT SAFETY PART WAS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY IT IS NOW LATE SEPTEMBER AND I AM UNABLE TO REPLACE THIS PART. NO ONE AT THE DEALERSHIP CAN TELL ME WHEN THIS PART WILL BE IN. MY SAFETY IS AT RISK. I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING THIS RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL - THE STORY: DURING THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS, WE HAVE CHECKED ONLINE AT ALL OF THE VARIOUS WEB SITES TO SEE IF THIS VEHICLE WAS UNDER A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAGS. EACH TIME, WE FOUND THAT THIS CAR WAS NOT LISTED. IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR, WE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA, REGARDING THE FRONT TAKATA AIRBAGS. WE TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HELD IT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, PLUS THEY PROVIDED US WITH A RENTAL CAR, AS THE VEHICLE WAS "UNSAFE" TO DRIVE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, I NOTICED ON THE WORK ORDER THAT ONLY THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED. (I HAD ASSUMED BOTH FRONT AIRBAGS WOULD BE REPLACED.) WHEN I QUESTIONED THE SERVICE REP, HE SIMPLY SAID THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. IN JULY, WE RECEIVED THE 2ND RECALL LETTER FROM HONDA, THIS TIME FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. WHEN I CALLED OUR SERVICE REP, HE INFORMED ME THAT ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION WOULD NOT BE PROVIDED! I CALLED HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SPOKE TO SEVERAL PEOPLE. THEY ALL TOLD ME DIFFERENT THINGS. THE FIRST ONE TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT, DUE TO A "SENSOR" IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. WHEN I CHECKED OUT OUR CAR, IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS IS NOT TRUE! THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY, EVEN IF THE SEAT IS NOT OCCUPIED! OUR CAR DOES NOT HAVE THIS "SENSOR" FEATURE! AFTER WAITING SEVERAL DAYS FOR THE PROMISED "RETURN CALL" FROM CASE MANAGEMENT, I CALLED HONDA AT 888-999-1009. TALKED WITH A REP WHO TOLD ME THAT SHE COULD FIND NO RECORD OF MY EVER HAVING CALLED,OR ANY CASE SET UP AND SENT TO CASE MANAGEMENT! ALL OF THE PREVIOUS REPS HAD SIMPLY LIED TO ME! NOW, I AM SIMPLY WAITING FOR A PHONE CALL, WITH A CAR THAT I CANNOT DRIVE. IT IS UNSAFE. I NEED FOR HONDA TO TALK TO ME, AND MAKE A DECISION. I CAN TAKE THEM TO COURT TO RECOVER THE COST OF A RENTAL CAR , IF NECESSARY. HONDA CASE NO. 04897936.

THIS INFORMATION REGARDING TAKATA AIRBAGS HAS BEEN UNDER "DISCUSSION" SINCE 2004. HERE WE ARE 2016 I RECEIVE A RECALL NOTICE "IN THE EVENT OF RUPTURE METAL FRAGMENTS . . .MAY CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY TO YOU OR OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE" A CALL TO MY HONDA SERVICE MANAGER - NO PARTS TO REPAIR THIS "DEFECT" AND THEY HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA AS TO WHEN THE PARTS MAY BE AVAILABLE. I CAN LEAVE MY CAR IN SERVICE FOR THE TIME IT TAKES HONDA TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE BUT THIS IS NOT A PRACTICAL OR SATISFACTORY SOLUTION. THE ONUS FALLS ON HONDA MOTORS. THIS RECALL IS REPREHENSIBLE - A SERIOUS FLAW WHICH COULD RESULT IN DEATH, BUT AS YET NO SOLUTION FOR HONDA FIT DRIVERS. SHAME SHAME ON YOU HONDA MOTORS - BUT THEY HAVE MADE IT OBVIOUS THEY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT FOLKS WHO BUY HONDA PRODUCTS BECAUSE OF THEIR DEPENDABILITY. THE SATISFACTION GUARANTEE IS A LIE. THIS IS NOT CUSTOMER SERVICE OR QUALITY CARE THAT I EXPECT FROM HONDA. PLEASE FORCE THEN INTO ACTION.

TAKATA RECALL HONDA OFFERS TO PROVIDE A RENTAL VEHICLE TO THE OWNERS OF THE AFFECTED CARS UNTIL IT HAS THE REMEDY PARTS TO FIX THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG SOMETIME IN SUMMER 2016. HOWEVER: 1) HONDA DOES NOT PROVIDE INSURANCE ON THAT RENTAL VEHICLE AND EXPECTS THE CUSTOMERS TO PAY FOR INSURANCE. INSURANCE ON RENTAL VEHICLES IS EXPENSIVE ($30 A DAY OR SO). I BELIEVE PUSHING THAT EXPENSE TO THE CUSTOMERS IS UNACCEPTABLE. 2) HONDA DOES NOT AUTHORIZE A SECOND DRIVER ON THE RENTAL IT PROVIDES, WHICH IS NOT THE WAY FAMILY CARS ARE USED. I BELIEVE THIS IS ALSO UNACCEPTABLE. THANK YOU,

I AM NOT SURE HOW THIS NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA REGARDING HONDA FIT RECALL AFFECTS OTHER FOLKS WHO HAVE RECEIVED THIS MAILING, BUT I FIND HONDA'S MANAGEMENT OF THIS DEFECT IN THEIR CARS REPREHENSIBLE. BETTER I SHOULD HAVE CONTINUED DRIVING MY CAR NOT KNOWING THAT "HONDA HAS DECIDED THAT A DEFECT WHICH RELATES TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY EXISTS" AND THAT "THE DEFECT IN THESE VEHICLES COULD KILL OR INJURE YOU OR OTHER PEOPLE IN YOUR VEHICLE." UH BETTER STILL "WE APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE (DEATH, MAIMING OR SERIOUS INJURY) THIS RECALL MAY CAUSE YOU IT REALLY SUCKS FOR YOU THE DRIVER BECAUSE THESE PARTS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE SUMMER OF 2016. I PURCHASED A HONDA BECAUSE I EXPECTED BETTER CUSTOMER RELATIONS. IT IS LUDICROUS TO RECALL VEHICLES, YET NOT HAVE REPAIR PARTS AVAILABLE UNTIL SOME NEBULOUS TIME IN THE FUTURE. SHAME ON YOU, HONDA MOTORS. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING FRONT END COLLISION (CAR REAR-ENDED ANOTHER). HAD BEEN TRAVELLING ~40 MPH; BRAKED OVER A DISTANCE OF APPROXIMATELY 3 TO 4 CAR LENGTHS WHILE TRAVELLING DOWN HILL. DRIVER SUSTAINED CONCUSSION.

I WANT TO KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS ON MY CAR NEED REPLACING.

THE CAR WAS BEING PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET, AT ABOUT 5 MPH, WHEN BOTH THE DRIVER'S AND PASSENGER'S SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. THE CAR DID NOT HIT ANYTHING, AND SHOWS NO VISIBLE DAMAGE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED, IN WHICH THE OFFICER STATED THAT THERE WAS NO APPARENT REASON FOR THE AIRBAGS TO HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR

THIS IS A FOLLOW UP TO MY ORIGINAL COMPLAINT NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10554185 NOW WITH THIS NATIONWIDE AIRBAG RECALL I SUSPECT MY INCIDENT IS RELATED BUT AM VERY CONCERNED THAT AFTER MY COMPLAINT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE RECALL LIST. OBVIOUSLY SINCE THEN I HAVE REPAIRED MY VEHICLE BUT AT MY EXPENSE. AFTER CONTACTING THIS AGENCY, HONDA HEADQUARTERS IN US AND THE HONDA DEALER AT THE TIME I GOT NO HELP OR GUIDANCE, AND YET A YEAR LATER THERE IS THIS MASSIVE RECALL ON AIRBAGS THAT TOOK YEARS AND MULTIPLE STAGES AND LOSS OF LIFE TO COME TO LIGHT. AT THE TIME OF MY INCIDENT EMERGENCY RESPONSE AND POLICE REMARKED THAT IN ALL OF THEIR EXPERIENCE THEY HAD NOT WITNESSED THE STATE OF HOW AND WHY MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. DOES THIS NOT RAISE A FLAG NOW? PLEASE HELP. *TR

I GAINED CONTROL OF MY CAR WITHOUT MAKING IMPACT TO ANYTHING AND MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, ALTHOUGH MY AIRBAGS BURST OUT THEY DID NOT APPEAR TO INFLATE COMPLETELY. ALSO MY DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT COMPLETELY CAME OUT OF ITS TRACK. I SUFFERED A SCRATCH/BURN ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK AND A BRUISE BELOW MY RIGHT SHOULDER FROM THE SEATBELT. AMBULANCE AND POLICE WERE CALLED TO THE SCENE.
