What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 honda fit. While the vehicle was attempting to merge, another vehicle crashed into the rear of the contact's vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. As a result, the contact sustained permanent neck and shoulder injuries that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front windshield, undercarriage, and hatchback needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired.
Takata recall I called two honda dealers as well as the corporate office the same day as I received the recall notification for my vehicle. In all cases, through repeated phone calls, I have been told that despite the danger of the recalled item if it malfunctions, there is a 2 - 5 month wait before the part can be replaced. In the meantime, I am expected to drive the defective vehicle.
