Takata recall. i received a letter about the recall in april 2016 and have called the dealer twice and they do not have the parts to repair this problem.

Takata recall to whom it may concern, on april 2016, i received a safety recall letter from volkswagen regarding the safety recall 69m9-takata sdi driver frontal airbag. i called my local volkswagen dealer and they said they still do not have the parts. on may 6, 2016, i called your customer care to express my concern regarding this issue. today is june 20, 2016 and still do not have a letter from volkswagen to fix my recall. i am very concern, scared and stressed about this safety recall. as it was mentioned in the letter, 'takata has reported that the driver frontal airbags are designed to deploy. in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants.' i have also read an event where a fatality accident of a young lady from this takata airbag. i am scared for myself and my children when i drive this vehicle. i am a single mother who purchase this volkswagen knowing and trusting the name of the quality of this vehicle, but now i worry. i drive this vehicle every day. i only ask is to fix this recall as soon as possible. if the parts is truly not ready, at least provide us a rental car while waiting for it to be fixed.

I am having airbag light on of my dashboard. i am always having the suspect about airbag will work or not if required. i contact vw services center that they can't help. vw recall website says it is not available from last february 2016. do i still use the car or not? i have only 1 car for the basic commute to work. i followed up multiple times with vw. but there is no movement to address this problem.

Takata recall. as reported by takata, in the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants. there hasn't been any remedy or repair to this and there hasn't been any compensation or replacement of the vehicle which is only fair to ask. i am worried that something might happen and it would be too late to do anything about it. as a company manufacturing it, vw should provide us the sense of safety and protection. also i live in ca, which is state that falls in zone a states with high temperature cycling and humidity and falls into a more risky group. so i need to feel secure in some way and vw is responsible for it.

Takata recall. i bought the car in march 2016 from an official vw dealer in seattle, carter motors. vw had recalled this car on 9 february 2016, but the dealer did not inform me. i subsequently registered the car with vw of america, using a form supplied with the vehicle. i did not hear from vw and they did not inform me of the recall of my car. once i found out about the recall status (using the nhtsa online tool) i contacted the dealer, but he was not willing to undo the original purchase, offering me half of what i had paid for the car "because it is affected by the recall". this was a $9,000 loss to me (i traded the car in, as i was not comfortable having my 18-year old daughter drive a car with an unresolved issue that has killed 14 drivers so far). i have two complaints: 1. vw of america is obviously not honoring its agreement to identify and contact drivers of recalled vehicles. i provided the vehicle vin and all my contact details to the company, but never heard from them again. this seems to be in breach of the agreement vw of america has with the nhtsa. 2. an official vw dealer (carter motors) sold me a recalled car, without disclosing this fact. at the very least, that is ethically corrupt. they were subsequently unwilling to remedy this, stating they had "done nothing wrong", and i got to bear the loss.

I received a letter from volkswagen several months ago about an airbag recall on my vehicle that can cause serious injury and even death . i have requested either a replacement vehicle or lease termination to no avail. i am driving an unsafe vehicle daily and want a remedy. the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair! *tr
