2013 HONDA FIT Air Bags Problems

I had my airbags serviced in 2016 at a Honda dealership to fix the Takata airbag recall issue. In 2023, I was hit on the front left portion of the car at an estimated 50mph, and no airbags deployed. I contacted Honda about this issue, and they said my insurance company had to do an inspection relating to the airbag failure reasons, but my insurance company said Honda would have had to send an agent to inspect. My car was totaled and sold by the insurance company. I have the official pictures from the insurance company’s inspection to value the car.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 HONDA FIT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION, WHILE DRIVING. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER WHICH BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. THE AIR BAG ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE DID NOT DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED CHEST INJURIES DUE TO COMING IN CONTACT WITH THE STEERING WHEEL. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS NOT REQUIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS FIXED, TRADED IN, AND SOLD. THE DEALER MARIN HONDA (2 SHORELINE PKWY, SAN RAFAEL, CA 94901 (415) 968-8479) REFERRED THE CONTACT TO THE MANUFACTURER. IT WAS UNKNOWN IF THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE HONDA OF SERRAMONTE DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY UNTIL SEPTEMBER. ON THREE OTHER OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIR COMPLETED WITH SIMILAR EXCUSES AS TO WHY THEY COULD NOT COMPLETE THE REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

REQUESTED AIRBAG FIX AT DEALERSHIP WERE BOUGHT, WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD CALL ME BECAUSE THE AIRBAG NUMBER MUST BE MATCHED TO THE HONDA 2013 FIT. NEVER CALLED. ASKED AGAIN AND WAS IGNORED.

THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO MANIFEST WHEN THE PASSENGER IS A LIGHT-WEIGHT ADULT, IN THE CASE OF MY WIFE, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 115 POUNDS ' LIGHT TO BE SURE, BUT NOT ABSURDLY SO. *JS WE SEE THE PROBLEM INTERMITTENTLY AND RARELY. MAYBE A HANDFUL OF TIMES IN A WEEK. THE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD THAT INDICATES THAT THE SIDE AIR BAGS ARE DISABLED COMES ON. IF WE ARE TO BELIEVE THIS STATUS INDICATOR, FOR THE PERIOD THAT THIS LIGHT IS ON, WE ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE SIDE AIR BAGS AS THEY WOULD NOT DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS LIGHT STAYS ON SOMETIMES AS LITTLE AS THREE SECONDS, SOMETIMES AS LONG AS A MINUTE. MOST OFTEN IT STAYS ON FOR ABOUT TEN TO FIFTEEN SECONDS. THERE IS NO PATTERN FOR WHEN IT MIGHT COME ON, OR WHAT WILL MAKE IT GO OFF. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, OR TRAVELING AT FREEWAY SPEEDS, OR ANYTHING IN BETWEEN. THIS PROBLEM ONLY MANIFESTS WHEN I AM DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND MY WIFE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. IF SHE IS DRIVING AND I AM IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, IT NEVER OCCURS. IN ADDITION, THE REPORTS I HAVE SEEN FROM OTHER HONDA OWNERS ON THE INTERNET SUGGEST THAT THIS IS ALWAYS THE CASE, THAT THIS PROBLEM MANIFESTS ONLY WITH LIGHT-WEIGHT ADULTS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. INDEED, WE HAVE SEEN THIS OCCUR ONE TIME WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND A LIGHT-WEIGHT ADULT FRIEND OF OURS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF 100 POUNDS WAS RIDING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. SO IT SEEMS TO BE VERY MUCH RELATED TO PASSENGER WEIGHT.

I RECEIVED A LETTER IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF 2016 ALERTING ME THAT MY VEHICLE, A 2013 HONDA FIT-SPORT WAS SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA FAULTY AIR BAG RECALL. THE LETTER ASKED FOR A RESPONSE WHICH WAS SENT IN AND SAID THAT DUE TO EXTREMELY LARGE NUMBER OF VEHICLES, THAT I COULD TAKE NO ACTION AT THE TIME, BUT THAT I WOULD BE CONTACTED BY THE SUMMER OF 2016 WITH INSTRUCTIONS ON WHERE TO GET THE POTENTIALLY DEADLY AIRBAG REPLACED. IT IS JANUARY 2017. I HAVE NOT BEEN CONTACTED AGAIN.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL - I CALLED BELL HONDA IN PHOENIX, AZ A FEW MONTHS AGO AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY AIRBAGS TO REPLACE MINE WITH AND THEY WOULD LET ME KNOW WHEN THEY GOT THEM. I HAVEN'T HEARD A WORD FROM THEM WHEREAS MY SONS MITSUBISHI HAS HAD TWO NOTIFICATIONS TO BRING THE CAR IN. WHAT'S HONDA DOING AND WHY ISN'T THIS RESOVED YET? PEOPLE WANT ANSWERS.

I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THE RECALL IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR (2016) THAT THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG COULD IF INFLATED RUPTURE AND KILL THE DRIVER. THE LETTER INDICATED THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REPAIRS WOULD BE AVAILABLE BY THE SUMMER. HAVING HEARD NOTHING ELSE, I CONTACTED HONDA ON 9/23/16 TO INQUIRE FURTHER AND WAS TOLD IT WOULD BE ANOTHER TWO WEEKS. TODAY, 10/28/16 I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO FURTHER INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THE REPAIR PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE, AND REPAIRS AFFECTED.

TAKATA RECALL- IN MARCH 2016 I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE. I CALLED HONDA AT THEIR TOO-FREE NUMBER AND WAS DIRECTED TO MY LOCAL DEALER HONDA OF CAMPAIGN, IN SAVOY IL. AS OF TODAY I HAVE AS YET TO HAVE THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG REPLACED, YET I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALER AND HONDA AT LEAST THREE TIMES OVER THE INTERVENING MONTHS (SINCE MARCH OF THIS YEAR WHEN HONDA SAID "I WOULD BE INFORMED BY MAIL WHEN THE PARTS WERE AVAILABLE"). INTERESTINGLY THE LAST TIME I WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE THEY HAD TWO 2013 FIT MODELS FOR SALE ON THE USED CAR LOT. I ASKED THE SALESMAN "IF THE CARS' AIRBAGS HAD BEEN REPAIRED", AND HE SAID "YES". I THINK THE DEALERSHIP NOR HONDA ARE FOLLOWING THE RECALL PROGRAM.

BEEN TRYING TO SCHEDULE REPLACEMENT OF THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAG, DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHEN THE REPLACEMENT BAG WILL ARRIVE AND HONDA MOTORS SAYS THEY ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE DEALER. EACH IS POINTING A FINGER AT THE OTHER ONE FOR THE REASON THE PART HAS NOT BEEN DELIVERED FOR THE DEALER TO MAKE THE REPLACEMENT. JUST WANT TO GET IT REPLACED SO I CAN SAFELY DRIVE MY CAR. NEED HELP IN GETTING THE AIRBAG REPLACED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. AM I EXPECTED TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE VEHICLE UNTIL HONDA AND THE DEALER FINALLY FULFILL THEIR RESPONSIBILITY?

TAKATA RECALL - THIS RECALL HAS BEEN EXTREMELY SPURIOUS WITH AN INEPT CORPORATION RUNNING IT. I RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL INFORMATION IN MARCH 2016 REGARDING MY 2013 HONDA FIT SPORT DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG. I AM STILL WAITING THE FOR PART TO ARRIVED AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO HONDA AUTOMOTIVE. I WAS TOLD HONDA AUTOMOTIVE WILL PAY FOR A RENTAL VEHICLE TO DRIVE DURING THE OVER SIX MONTH PART DELAY (THE LETTER STATED THE PAST SUMMER THE PART WOULD BE AVAILABLE). I DO NOT HAVE THE PLACE OR INCLINATION TO LET THE NITROGEN OUT OF MY TIRES, EMPTY THE FLUID OUT OF THE CAR, AND PUT THE VEHICLE UP ON BLOCKS IN A GARAGE FOR OVER SIX MONTHS. WHEN I SPEAK WITH A DEALER OR THE CORPORATE OFFICE THE STAFF IS VERY CAVALIER REGARDING MY WELL-BEING. I DO NOT APPRECIATE SOMEONE DECIDING TO PLAY RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH MY LIFE ESPECIALLY INDIVIDUALS WHO ACT LIKE UNFEELING AND INCOMPETENT ROBOTS. OBVIOUSLY, MY FAMILY AND I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND I HOPE TO WIN THE CRUEL GAME I HAVE BEEN THROWN INTO BY HONDA AUTOMOTIVE. I WILL SAY I HAVE OWNED FOUR HONDA CARS INCLUDING THIS ONE. I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING ANOTHER FOR SELF-EXPLANATORY REASONS. NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO DEVALORIZE A HUMAN BEING (CUSTOMER) FOR PROFITS; HOWEVER, THIS ACT HAPPENS DAILY. - MAUIGIRL300, ALCOA, TN, USA

DEAR NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION, THE ACCOUNT HOLDERS BELIEVE THAT AMERICAN HONDA HAS FAILED AND IS UNABLE TO REMEDY A DEFECT IN OUR 2013 HONDA FIT WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME - WITHIN 60 DAYS FROM THE DATE WE FIRST CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR REPAIR. THE ACCOUNT HOLDERS HAVE MADE SEVERAL GOOD FAITH ATTEMPTS IN PERSON AND VIA TELEPHONE ON FEBRUARY, 26TH 2016 (FIRST ATTEMPT DOCUMENT ATTACHED); MARCH 10TH, 2016, MAY 20TH, 2016, SEPTEMBER 7TH, 2016, AND SEPTEMBER 12TH, 2016 TO HAVE THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAGS REPAIRED FOR OUR 2013 HONDA FIT LEASE. CURRENTLY, HONDA HAS FAILED TO REPAIR THE AIRBAGS. PLEASE, SEE ATTACHED DOCUMENTS. WE FEEL THAT OUR SAFETY HAS BEEN NEGLECTED BY HONDA AND WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR HELP IN REMEDYING THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

TAKATA-DEALER NOTIFIED ME OF RECALL-HAD ME SIGN A WAIVER THAT I DRIVE UNDER MY OWN PERIL. THREE MONTHS HAVE PASSED, DEALER DOES NOT HAVE THE PART AND DOES NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL ARRIVE. DEALER TRIED TO HAVE ME TRADE IT FOR 9K, I HAVE A PRIVATE BUYER READY TO PAY 12,500 BUT CANNOT SELL IT DUE TO THE RECALL. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED AS A RESULT.

Mileage: 14,500

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED A LETTER IN MARCH 2016 THAT THIS DEFECT COULD POTENTIALLY KILL OR HURT ME AND MY PASSENGERS. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP ON AT LEAST 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND TOLD THE PART WOULD BE IN SOON. I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, MORE THAN 6 MONTHS AFTER GETTING THE LETTER, AND SAT ON HOLD FROM MORE THAN 15 MINUTES WAITING FOR AN ANSWER ABOUT MY PART, STATING AGAIN MY SAFETY CONCERNS. I FINALLY GAVE UP AND CALLED HONDA NATIONAL AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS SUCH A MASSIVE RECALL, GETTING THE PARTS IS SLOW. SO IN THE MEANTIME, I DRIVE A CAR THAT PUTS ME AND MY FAMILY AT RISK. TODAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME, I WAS TOLD I COULD GET AN ALTERNATIVE CAR TO DRIVE IN THE INTERIM. BETTER, BUT STILL NOT COMFORTING TO KNOW MY CAR IS NOT ONLY DEFECTIVE, BUT GETTING A RESOLUTION IS PROVING TO BE PROBLEMATIC AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO MY FAMILY. MY CONCERNS ARE: 1. WHY DOES IT TAKE THIS LONG? THAT SEEMS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE WHEN POTENTIAL DEATH IS INVOLVED. 2. WHY DIDN'T MY DEALERSHIP OFFER A CAR EARLIER FOR MY SAFETY? 3. WHY AM I ON HOLD FOR 15 MINUTES WITH A DEALERSHIP INQUIRING ABOUT MY PART WITH NO ANSWER? IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS DIFFICULT. 4. MY CAR WAS BARELY TWO YEARS OLD WHEN THIS HAPPENED, WHY COULDN'T I HAVE JUST BEEN GIVEN A NEW CAR TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE ONE SINCE IT'S SUCH A SAFETY CONCERN? THIS SITUATION REALLY MAKES MY CAR A LEMON!

IN MARCH 2016 HONDA PROMISED THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN SUMMER 2016 AND HONDA WOULD NOTIFY ME. IT IS NOW ALMOST OCTOBER 2016 AND THE PARTS ARE STILL NOT AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION FROM HONDA IN MARCH, 2016 STATING THAT REPLACEMENT PARTS 'WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016' AND THAT I WOULD RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL LETTER FROM HONDA. I'VE NEVER RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER. SINCE I LIVE NEAR THE COAST I AM CONCERNED ABOUT THE HIGHER HUMIDITY CAUSING PROBLEMS WITH THE INFLATOR. IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS WITHOUT RESOLUTION. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE.

I RECEIVED AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL NOTICE IN MARCH OF 2016 SAYING THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE. IT SAYS THAT "THE REMEDY PARTS NEEDED TO CONDUCT DRIVER'S AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALLS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE IN THE SUMMER OF 2016." AT THAT TIME I WILL RECEIVE ANOTHER LETTER TELLING ME TO CONTACT THE DEALER. THE SUMMER IS QUICKLY WANING TO A CLOSE SO YESTERDAY I WENT TO THE DEALER IN PERSON (JL FREED IN MONTGOMERYVILLE, PA) AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE STILL MONTHS BEHIND, THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THEIR CARS THERE FOR 3 MONTHS. I DO NOT SEE THIS AS AN ACCEPTABLE SITUATION AND THINK HONDA SHOULD TAKE THIS CAR BACK NOW WITHOUT PENALTY. THEY CLEARLY CANNOT RECTIFY THE PROBLEM IN A TIMELY MANNER. MY WIFE DOES NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR. WE HAVE BEEN PATIENT, BUT HONDA IS NOT LIVING UP TO ITS PROMISE. I DO NOT THINK WE SHOULD HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL AN INCIDENT HAPPENS TO GET A SAFE CAR, NOR DO I WANT TO BE SENDING PHOTOS AS A WIDOWER. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

TAKATA RECALL PURCHASED NEW TO HAUL WORKING DOGS AND OUTFITTED WITH PROTECTIVE COVERS ETC IN ORDER TO DO SO. RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL FOR DRIVER'S AIRBAG ON MARCH 9TH AND MADE FIRST DEALER CONTACT IN MARCH 2016.. DUE TO THE VEHICLE USE, HONDA DEALER NEVER PROVIDED A RENTAL CAR. IN MID-AUGUST I MADE ADDITIONAL CONTACT WITH CORPORATE AND DEALER TO NO AVAIL. I THEN TRADED OFF THE VEHICLE AT A LOSS DUE TO THE FEET DRAGGING BY HONDA. THEY PROVIDED AN UNSAFE CAR AND FAILED TO OFFER ME A REMEDY. THE DEALER DID OFFER TO SELL ME ANOTHER CAR AT NORMAL PRICING AND OFFERED A LOW TRADE IN VALUE SINCE THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT RESELL MY UNSAFE CAR UNTIL A REPAIR IS MADE. ENTIRE DEALING WAS VERY UNACCEPTABLE. FAULTY PRODUCT WITH FAILED REMEDY. NEVER ANOTHER HONDA. NEVER LOST SO MUCH MONEY BUT THEY HAVE NO FIX CURRENTLY FOR THE DRIVERS AIR BAG. I WAS HONEST WITH THE DEALER STATING I ALMOST WAS IN A WRECK AND ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. .THIS PRODUCT IS DEFECTIVE AND HONDA FAILED TO REMEDY IT. I FEEL LEGAL ACTION AGAINST HONDA IS APPROPRIATE. VEHICLE HAD 13,000 MILES ON IT WHEN TRADED FOR DIFFERENT VEHICLE AT SIGNIFICANT LOSS. MY CHOICE, BUT MY SAFETY ALSO MATTERS AT LEAST TO ME.

I AM FRUSTRATED WITH THE LACK OF INFORMATION ABOUT WHEN TO EXPECT A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG INFLATOR. I AM FRUSTRATED AT THE BREACH OF TRUST AT WORK HERE.

THIS CAR WAS IN AN ACCIDENT, IT WAS REAR-ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS HONDA FIT WAS STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AT A CONSTRUCTION ZONE IN SUBURBAN CARY, NC WHEN IT WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A SMALL TRUCK THAT WAS GOING APPROX. 45+ MPH. THE IMPACT PUSHED THE FIT FORWARD INTO SOME CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS. THE TRUCK DRIVER WAS FOUND FULLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CRASH AND WAS NOT INJURED. FOR THE FIT, AIR BAGS INFLATED FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT NONE FOR THE DRIVER. FORTUNATELY, THE DRIVER WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE FIT. AS SHOWN IN PICTURES (ATTACHED), THE DRIVER' SEAT TIPPED BACKWARDS FROM IT'S UPRIGHT POSITION. THE HEAD REST COMPLETELY FELL OFF AND ENDED UP IN THE BACK SEAT, GIVING THE DRIVER MINIMAL PROTECTION. IN ADDITION, A METAL BAR UNDER THE DRIVER'S SEAT WAS THRUST FORWARD, CAUSING A DEEP AND LARGE HEMATOMA IN THE DRIVER'S LEG.

TAKATA RECALL THE PARTS HAVE BEEN UNAVAILABLE FOR OVER 6 MONTHS NOW FOR A PROBLEM THAT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY. IT IS UNREASONABLE THAT A MANUFACTURER CAN LET PEOPLE WAIT THIS LONG FOR SOMETHING THIS DANGEROUS SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT TO MAKE MORE PARTS IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.

TAKATA RECALL: I CALLED LITHIA HONDA IN MEDFORD , OREGON THREE MONTHS AGO AND INFORMED THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER 9IN MARCH 2016. HE SAID THEY WOULD ORDER THE PARTS AND INFORM ME WHEN THE PART ARRIVED, THEN I COULD MAKE AND APPOINTMENT FOR REPAIR. I CALLED YESTERDAY FOR AN APPOINTMENT AND WAS INFORMED THE PARTS WERE NOT THERE AND THEY WOULD HAVE TO ORDER THEM AGAIN. I WAS TOLD THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE BECAUSE HONDA CONTROLLED THE PARTS AND THE DEALER HAD NO CONTROL IN GETTING THE PARTS. I WAS TOLD TO CALL HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE. HONDA IS REFUSING TO REPAIR THE CAR BY DELAYING THE REPAIR. THE RECALL LETTER SAID THAT DRIVING THE CAR IS DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING. I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS.

I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL TODAY AND THE GENTLEMAN TOLD ME THAT HONDA WILL NOT BE PAYING TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE. WE CAN NOT DRIVE IT....HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET IT TO ALABAMA? IT'S NOT OUR FAULT THAT THERE IS A RECALL...I FEEL THAT HONDA SHOULD DO SOMETHING TO ACCOMODATE US. THE HAVE OFFERED NO SOLUTION. THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO STAY ON THE SCHOOL'S PROPERTY FOR MUCH LONGER....OUR DAUGHTER IS GRADUATING ON MAY 14TH...THEN WE WILL HEAD TO ALABAMA. PLEASE HELP US FIGURE OUT HOW TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE....WE CANNOT AFFORD TO TRANSPORT IT OURSELVES.
