Description of the problem | Takate recall - i want to make you aware that the honda corporation has not effectively ensured that its independently owned/operated dealerships are addressing all affected drivers of the recalled vehicles. Drivers who are under the age of 18 are not able to rent cars from enterprise rental services, which is being used as the sole alternate transportation option by hendrick honda, woodbridge, va. Hendrick honda does not have loaner vehicles. Therefore, anyone under the age of 18 who drives one of the affected vehicles has no options to get alternate transportation. Obviously, there are other dealers in the nova area, but in a call to three dealers, they have run out of loaner cars. My family is affected because my daughter, age 17, cannot drive the other family vehicle due to her small size and the large size of the other family vehicle. It would seem to me that since a 17 year old was a person who was killed in the airbag incident that, in part, prompted this airbag recall, that the honda corporation and all its independent dealers would be expected to have appropriate alternate transportation options for all drivers, not just those over the age of 18. I have filed a service claim with the honda corporation and have requested that the service director from hendrick honda, from whom i purchased the vehicle, to whom i was referred to get the alternate transportation, and with whom i have done business for well over 5 years, call me to discuss this problem in more detail. However, i feel that the larger issue is that honda and its dealers have not looked at its entire customer base to ensure that all potential drivers of these cars are covered. |
