Problems with 2012 Volkswagen Passat AIR BAGS

Takata recall. i've known about the recall since february 2016. it is now august. the dealership will not give me a loner. my wife and i don't fell safe driving the car.

Takata recall there has been no resolution after contacting the vw dealer for 6+ months. they say they do not have the parts to fix the issue. it is unacceptable.

Takata recall. no remedy listed.

Takata recall this recall was initiated in february of 2016. it is now august and vw still reports that they are not able to do the repair.

Safety recall 69m9 nhtsa 16v078 repair not yet available. should i wait till i get disfigured or die from the explosion to sue vw. this is so much more urgent than air polution forgery case. i live in ca where it gets very hot. should i get airbag removed to avoid risk of explosion. i purchased this car used a year ago.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen passat. the contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v078000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. the dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. the manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the contact's vehicle would receive the recall repair. the contact was not experiencing a failure. vin tool confirms parts not available. updated 03/03/17*lj updated 03/16/17.*jb

Takata recall. recently i submitted a request for reimbursement for funds related to the airbag recall. the request was turned down by vw. they stated that there have been no incidents of airbag failures and said replacing the airbags will be precautionary. obviously they don't feel they need to be "timely" about this. i feel they are just stalling. i did spend $726.40 on an auto train when i first heard about the recall because i was afraid to drive the car. i feel vw has no intention to repair the car.

Takata recall. i have had no problems at this time, but would like it fixed soon, or bought-back/traded-in for a fair value by a vw dealership.

Takata recall...vw says they don't have the part to fix this but they want to get paid on their lease but the car is not safe to drive. why can't you get them to fix this, my lease will be over before when i won't have to worry about this but someone else will.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen passat. while driving at an unknown speed, the steering lost power and the air bag indicator illuminated. the vehicle was taken to o'steen volkswagen (904-322-5100, located at 11401 philips hwy, jacksonville, fl 32256) where the clockspring was replaced. the failure recurred and the same dealer replaced the clockspring again. the failure recurred and the same part was replaced for a third time. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. the contact was not sure if the failure was remedied. the failure mileage was unknown.

Airbag light on , check engine light on.

Takata recall a couple months ago i had recall 15v483000 completed on my 2012 passat. i was experiencing electrical issues such as cruise control not working, wipers turning on for no reason. it seemed to be connected to the steering column since both of these features are connected to the steering column. after the recall was completed no further issues until today. i made a u-turn and my airbag light came on and hasn't went off sense. i'm concerned after reading about shrapnel and airbag deployment.

Takata recall.....do i have to keep waiting for a fix?....my family drives this everyday and we have been waiting for 6 months.....can i return the car?

Takata recall volkswagen does not want to buy my car back on a trade in. i was told the airbag issue has impacted the value.

Takata recall- my husband and i took our vw passat that has an emissions recall and takata recall and they said that the manufacture doesn't think that this is a big deal. the manufacture refuses to provide a loaner for our vehicle. they said that it is perfectly safe to drive. how can some manufactures put other customers in loaners because of the same recall and tell them not to drive and others say its not a big deal. i do not trust volkswagen since we were also affected by their emissions recall. can you please clarify and what the next step should be. we did have an appointment to get all recalls on this vehicle addressed and to get parts ordered. at this point recall notices are like monthly statements.

Takata recall i am filing a complaint based off of a recall notice that i received from volkswagen. the recall # is 69m9. the letter states that metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. however, at this time they are not repairing the recalled vehicles until enough repair parts are produced. volkswagen refuses to provide me in writing that my car is "safe" to drive.

Tl* takata recall. the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen passat. while driving approximately 45 mph, another vehicle crashed into the front driver side of the contact's vehicle. the air bags did not deploy. a police report was filed. the contact sustained neck and back pains that required medical treatment. the contact heard an abnormal noise after the impact and a substance emitted into the vehicle. the vehicle was towed by the insurance company for inspection. the contact's vin was included in nhtsa campaign number: 16v078000 (air bags), but the contact had not yet been notified. the failure mileage was not available. parts distribution disconnect.

Takata recall i was informed of this recall over a year ago & still nothing has been done to fix this problem

Takata recall: i was on hold with vw customer service this morning for one hour and twenty minutes for them to tell me there is currently no fix for the recalled air bag that is in my car and that vw does not have a loaner car program for its customers to use until it fixes the problems with he airbags. they also informed me that the nhtsa states that my car is safe to drive until the airbags can be fixed. yet all over the news it states that the cars with the takaka recall are not safe to be driving until the airbags are fixed.

Takata recall why is vw being allowed to drag their feet. i was first notified months ago and still they say no remedy. and yet, other manufacturers have logged over 8 million repairs. i keep getting notices and yet no repair is available. how can i feel safe driving my vehicle?

Checking to see if my car will be repaired soon?

Takata recall- since i purchased my vehicle i have not had a time where there isn't a recall of some sort. i have been attempting to trade in my vehicle for months and everyone is offering nearly nothing. come to find out ithe is due to the takata recall that has rendered my car in a "stop sale", a buying and selling freeze. no one will buy them because they can't sell them due to this issue. i am stuck with an ever recalled vehicle that is a potential death trap and i have no way out of it. takata is not doing anything to remedy this situation and is creating a possible death trap for people driving them and a huge financial burden because we can't purchase a safer vehicle.

Takata recall i am in upper management with enterprise rent a car and i have personally worked with hundreds of people who are dropping their cars off at the honda dealerships because they are unsafe to drive. i have listened to the stories of the 12+ deaths that have occurred from these airbags from the mouths of people who are so thankful to get a safe rental car until their car can be fixed. i have spoken with gm's at the dealerships about this recall and i truly understand the scope and the seriousness of this situation. you can imagine how shocked i was to find out that not only was my wife's vw a part of the takata recall but that vw was not providing loaner cars for their customers with effected vehicles. i essentially received a letter in the mail that said "your car has a grenade in the steering wheel that could kill you. we currently don't have a way to fix this but we will let you know when we do. keep driving until you hear from us." when i called vw customer service to find out how on earth they could justify not providing safe transportation like the other auto manufacturers were i was told that no one has died in a vw yet, they have all been hondas. essentially they are waiting for someone to die before they bite the bullet and foot the bill for safe replacements? i think it's clear that vw is rolling the dice and trying to avoid another massive expenditure while it's still reeling financially from its emissions scandal.

Takata recall - i have tried multiple times to contact vw regarding the airbag recall and am getting zero answers or resolution. i called customer care and asked for a time-frame for the fix and received none. i asked for a loaner and was told to request one from the local dealership. a week after leaving a message with the service manager at the dealership, i received a call that they don't have loaner cars that don't have airbags in them that are not impacted, so it made no difference. i waited a month and checked vw's website and there is zero information as to when they will receive parts or when this will be fixed. i opened a chat with vw customer care on 4/15 and received a copy and paste response to my concerns, which stated nothing of substance. i was also again denied a loaner car which was safe in the interim. i feel that vw and takata are not taking the matter seriously or moving in a fast enough manner. i understand the scope of this, but there needs to be urgency in that people are dying and other are driving unsafe cars. vw should have loaner cars available along with a timeline of thefix in place at this point as the recall was announced last year. i am very upset with their handling. any pressure that could be put on them to extend loaner cars or move faster would be appreciated. i also live in a high heat state (nc), which compounds the seriousness. thank you. *tr

I received a recall notice in april 2016 for takata airbag. i called twice and visited the local volkswagen dealer but no parts are available to repair. local dealership claim they have not received any stock for volkwagen since the april notice. please be advised.

Takata air bags i just want to know how in the crap the vw people can get away with recalling these cars for faulty equipment that can cause "serious injury or death to occupants" and be so [xxx]irresponsible with the lives of others. there is not time table for repairs so we don't know how long we will be subjected to "serious injury or death". someone in our government should step up and defend us from these money hungry jerks. why issue the recall if they are not able to make repairs. i talked with a vw "customer care" representative and he told me my vehicle was perfectly safe to drive yet i have been "warned" a malfunction could lead to "serious injury or death". what are those of us who need our cars to survive to do? vw offers no loaner car or rental assistance. i think this is crap and if i die because of some defective foreign part i hope someone in charge takes notice so others will not. information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

Takata recall spoke with vw customer advocate asked for a loaner vehicle and was refused. was unable to provide any info when and if parts will be available.

Takata recall i have had this recall for more than a year and nobody at volkswagon will give me any info. honda has fixed all their takata airbags. i am tired of waiting. i could be killed!!!!

Takata recall - i received a notification from vw april 2016 regarding the safety recall of the takata sdi dirver frontal airbag. nhtsa:16v078. to date, this has not been rectified by vw

Takata recall - takata sdi driver frontal airbag recall letter received april 2016 and nothing done 8 months later. can't get answer from dealer or anyone about repairs needed or how much longer we have to wait.

Takata recall it has been over a year since being notified about the takata airbag recall for our 2012 volkswagen passat. the letter from volkswagen notifying us of an important safety recall was dated april 2016. this safety recall has affected our use of the vehicle since we do not want to drive a vehicle that has an outstanding safety recall. it has also affected resale of the vehicle since we do not want to sell a vehicle that has a safety issue. do we have to wait for an accident, injury, or even death before something is done?

Takata recall received a letter april 2016, hearing now they are not fixing this issue, while 16 people have been killed or 180 injured - due to exploding with so much force and spew shrapnel into driver and passengers, it's like driving a suicide car every day, scary! i'm a widow, on a fixed income afraid to drive my car, which is all i rely on now to get around.
