Problems with 2007 Volkswagen Passat AIR BAGS

Both recalls were not corrected when this vehicle was sitting at the epic motorsports dealership located in rosemont illinois

My passenger side airbag warning light is always on and the airbag is makes noise that is irritating.

Takata recall: i brought my 2007 passat to kuhn vw in tampa, fl. at first they refused to fix the recall, because vw was coming out with another one in a few months and they wouldnt receive payment for the first one. i came back 2 months later in july 2018 and had the recall completed. i decided to drive the vehicle when i returned from work in oct 2018 and the horn and steering wheel buttons no longer work, the very next day, i get a airbag fault on the dash. i'm not sure, since kuhn never said, if the two were related. they wanted to charge me $129 for a diagnostic, which i refused and complained, then they did it for free and stated that its the clock-spring? i find it ironic that the clock spring would go out after installing this recall. reading some of the other complaints which some have stated the same problem. kuhn offered to replace the clock spring for $400+, which i cant afford.

We have been waiting on a list to get the airbag replaced. my car was involved in a rear end collision with air bag deployment, and car is considered a total loss and lucky no one was hurt. the car should not have been driven until it was fixed but that is not possible, i think vw should have at least offered a rental till it was fixed. now i have a totaled car because of airbag deployment. the roads were wet and person in front of him got cutoff and slammed on my brakes and my car rear ended that car. there is a police report and insurance claims. i can send pictures upon request to a email address.

Takata recall

Takata recalls recalls are taking entirely too long. i keep getting the same answer. the airbags are not available yet for your vehicle. i am driving a ticking time bomb.

Takata recall i contacted all local vw dealership for recall and was informed parts will not be available until september. i understand the overwhelming impact this is creating (production/delivery/installation) however i inquired as to whether there is any way to deactivate or turn off the airbag in the meantime (3+ mos) and was informed there isn't a way to do so. now i'm afraid to drive my car. is there no temporary "fix" to prevent from the airbag being deployed and potentially causing serious injury or death?

Volkswagen passat 2007 passat water leak footwell that causes passenger side airbag damaged : suddenly after a rainy day, water comes from sunroof to the passenger side footwell and made carpet wet and stores water below the carpet. that caused passenger side 's airbag malfunction results in airbag fault. i went to the dealer and they told me it happens with some vw cars and please get your car checked for water leak. they told that they are not responsible for neither the airbag nor the water leak. i believe there was too much water below the carpet which directly puts the integrity of the safety in danger since it the electronic parts and wires were in water for long time.

Takata recall - contacted volkswagen (bobby beck's lewisville volkswagen) & they stated there is no replacement part for 69m8, meaning there is nothing they can order to carry out the replacement & have no further information, including if & when that will change. i am concerned about my family using this vehicle, how & when will this defect be rectified? when will volkswagen be able to order a replacement part?

My emissions light keeps lit, my airbag light says malfunction, vehicle was stationary when lights came on.

Takata recall takata recall date: february 9, 2016; nhtsa recall number: 16v079; manufacturer recall number: 69m8 defective part recalled: driver frontal airbag inflator. recall incomplete. remedy not yet available after many months of being told by the local dealer that the part was not ready, i contacted vw of america in december 2016 and they told me they had no plans for making this remedy inflator available and did not foresee ever having this part manufactured in the near or distant future and therefore could not give me an estimated date of availability. this 2007 car has only approximately 83,000 miles and has been very well maintained, and we intend to keep it for many years in the future. what are we supposed to do? *tr

Takata recall nhtsa recall #16v079 still has no fix available from volkswagen. the start of this recall was feb. 9, 2016. in nearly 10 months no fix has been provided. the concerning part is the potential result in death of a life saving airbag actually deploying. this is the opposite of what an airbag should do. "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" vw and takata need to resolve this matter.

Takata recall the passenger side airbag doesn't work according to my lending bank. i found this out when i refinanced through them.

The frontal airbag inflators may release deadly metal fragments when deployed. recall issued last february 2016, but 9 months later, there is still no remedy for this ticking bomb.

2007 volkswagen passat. consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair airbag recall.*smd

Takata recall we were first notified in april 2016 that the takata airbags in our 2007 vw passatt "could potentially rupture...metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to the vehicle occupants." four months have passed and still there is no remedy available. it is not reasonable that volkswagen does not issue an update as to when the remedy may become available. consequently, we live in daily fear of a possible death by airbag malfunction. today's ny times has a front page article detailing the money-based wrong decisions of gm to buy the takata product when experts in the field testify that the ammonium nitrate used in the devices is unstable over time. deaths and injuries have resulted. when will we know about the availability of the replacement parts?

Takata recall. the recall was issued in february this year, yet my vw dealership (where i routinely go for repairs and checkups) tells me a remedy was still not available. i.e., i am driving a car with a potentially lethal default, which is known of, yet the manufacturer is either unable or unwilling to remedy asap? i am extremely concerned and unsure how to proceed.

Takata recall. there is no timeline for fixing the airbag in this car. i can't drive it and i can't sell it. it was recalled in feb 2016 and there is still no timeline for remedy. the manufacturer of this airbag needs to get these fixed.

Takata recall - airbag light is on - i have 2 airbag issues and have asked vw to assist with rental car as long as they cannot remedy a new takata air bag, and dealer informs it will be months. contacted the dealer and vw america several times for assistance for temporary car replacement if they cannot fix the takata airbag, vw america call center does not help and their service center is sneaky to ring my cell no and leave no message to document a record of cust servic- with no solution. yet dealer did say another customer asked for re-imbursements of rental car and now vw refuses to work with customers who have rented cars, the problem has left me out of pocket for hundred of dollars. according to vw america they do not have a program ' that is their decision not to help customers manufacture needs to provide. this is complete negligence on behalf of vw america. honda is covering their customers.

Takata recall. a recall letter was sent by volkswagen that the airbags have a significant airbag issue. we would like volkswagen to provide a rental car for my son until the airbag issue is resolved. this would reduce the potential of any risk.
