Description of the problem | 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. |
