Recall notice #15v48300; date 08/04/2015; air bags; frontal i was backing the car out of my driveway turning my steering wheel when i heard something rattling around in the steering wheel and then i heard a "snap" or "pop" and then an air bag error alert was displayed on the information panel, the air bag light illuminated, and i lost the electronic controls on my steering wheel. the car is currently at the dealership and the quote to repair the issue is around $550. unfortunately for me, my vin is not included in the recall notice 15v483000 for 2010-2014 passat sedans, so i am called vw to complain and hopefully they can do something to help with the cost of repairs since there are 2010-2014 passat sedans that are affected by the recall, just not mine.

Takata recall. on 8/4/16 i was informed of the air bag recall on my vehicle i am currently leasing. i never received a letter informing me of this issue. my lease is ending soon and i was going to buy the vehicle until the manager informed me that i could not purchase the vehicle because it had a present ongoing recall that states no remedy yet for this issue, i believe it is volkswagen responsibility to take this car off my hands and clear my balance due to their manufacturer unsafe defects in the air bag. everyday i am putting myself at an even higher risk of driving because my air bags have been recalled stating more harm then good will occur in the event of an accident. it is only right they accept the vehicle back without me being financially responsible for it.
I wanted to find out how much credit vw is going to give me for the takata recall on my vehicle since its eligible and i was driving it being very vulnerable to this. i have already returned back my vehicle (termination of lease) but wanted to get the reimbursement from vw for the takata recall as eligible. vin:[xxx] account number:882794211 vehicle:2013 passat se w/sunr please advise. thanks!

As a lessor or 2013 volkswagon passat se, i am very disappointed with your company for not informing me about an important recall information, impacting my safety. i see that this recall was issued in feb, 2016, but i have'nt received any notice until now. please issue me a credit for this big mistake on your company's part. please waive all my closing cost and end of lease fees.

I have owned my 2013 volkswagen passat 3.6 sel premium since 6/10/16, and volkswagen north america has not officially sent me documentation to replace my defective takata airbags.
Steering wheel too tight especially when turning right or left. unsafe feeling. air bag light on.
Takata recall - i just called vw corp office and they said they are not providing temporary transportation until the part is in. they stated "nhtsa advised them that there was no danger driving the vehicle until the part comes in which is why vw is not providing a loaner vehicle." please make it mandatory that these dealers provide a loaner vehicle. it is the right thing to do. i owned a ford which had a recall for a speed switch. ford never got the part in so they unplugged it. when i went to have my vehicle serviced at a local garage. they plugged the piece back in. later than month the switch caused the vehicle to burn down. the vehicle normally was parked in the garage underneath my daughters bedroom but the vehicle was in an accident and was being repaired at the body shop. the night before picking it up it had burnt down there at the body shop. several people died over that ford recall because ford never fixed the issue. we are not protecting the consumer on this takata recall if we are not mandating replacement veh while waiting for the part. again vw stated nhsta told them the vehicle was okay to drive. at the very least the airbag should be removed so that it does not explode metal objects into someone's face thus killing them. pls mandate either a loaner vehicle or removal of the airbag until the airbag can be fixed. removal of the airbag should be an option for the consumer. i have an acura & they are providing a rental car until the part comes in. it is the right thing to do. nhtsa must make better decisions on behalf of the consumers safety since some of the auto makers are only concerned about there profits. auto makers are selling new cars with this defective airbag even though legislation has tried to make laws concerning the sale of autos w/ active recalls. i expect more from nhtsa & our govt.
I had lease this car with the intention to purchase for the residual value, since my wife and my self are retired and we can not afford to keep spending money, during 36 month i made my payments and kept my part of the agreement, now volkswagen dealer claims that they cannot sale the auto due to been recalled. now when its time for volkswagen to comply with there part of the agreement, they refuse to do it, attached is a letter from the dealer telling me that they have a buyer for my vehicle, but they cannot sale to me. this is a fraudulent type of letter.

Takata recall i find it deeply concerning that volkswagen wants me to drive around in a leased vehicle that they find so unsafe, they refuse to even sell this vehicle. i received a letter informing me that should i be involved in an accident, the most important safety aspect of the car could essentially act as a bomb, blowing shrapnel in my face. with no current repair solution available, volkswagen refuses to provide any alternative plans to manage this situation in the meantime. most other manufacturers have been proactive in preventing further injuries and deaths to their customers by providing alternate solutions. left with no other options, i have no choice but to continue to drive my vehicle and put my life at risk due to volkswagen's negligence.
Takata recall - i received this recall stating that my air bag, should i be involved in an accident, could explode sending metal shrapnel into my face, and this recall has no repair available yet. i contacted volkswagen asking for a rental until they can repair it. they told me that since no vw owners have had any injuries the recall is voluntary. i find this completely unacceptable. i have to drive this car every day to and from work and with my children in the vehicle. each time i get behind the wheel i run the possibility of serious injury or death occurring if i should have a collision.
Takata recall we received the takata recall letter informing us of potential harm from defective airbags. we called the dealer where we got the car, they were not sympathetic, their response was "we dont know, you'll have to call somewhere else. we were told they do not have parts, so they cannot repair, there is no recourse yet and no loaners will be provided. we called vw corp, and was advised that in their opinion, the vehicle is not safe to operate, and that they themselves would not put their family in the car and drive under these conditions. they also advised no recourse and no loaner. we called vw credit, they said we would turn our lease in early, but would have to pay early termination fees and possible balance at auction. we do not feel safe driving this car. we shouldn't have to pay out of pocket for a rental for a defect that was not our fault. we would like to either turn in the vehicle with no fees or early terminations, or be provided a loaner or car rental until the vehicle can be fixed.

Takata recall vw needs to fix my takata airbags, they said there is not a fix right now and it can lead to serious injury. what am i supposed to do, walk 150 miles a day????
Takata recall - it was brought to my attention that my car is one of millions that has a defective takata airbag on the driver side. i was also told that honda and many other companies are offering rental cars until the issue can be resolved, and have family members who have received rentals. after speaking with volkswagen directly they informed me that "we don't have the parts to fix your car, or know when they are coming in." they also said we aren't offering rentals in the mean time. how is a massive company like volkswagen allowed to let their customers drive cars that have been found unsafe and lead to deaths? the nstha needs to make sure people like myself are provided with safe cars until the problem can be fixed. it is the nstha job to ensure american drivers are safe and keep a skeptical eye on large car companies who have a track record of cutting corners. it is not ethical or moral for a company to not be held to the same standard as others. make volkswagen correct the problem or provide safe cars.
Takata recall hello i just wanted to state that i love my car but i have received not one but twice a recall on my car. the first was about my windshield wipers but now the driver airbag....? i first looked up the severity of the defect to find serious injuries and even death has been the result of the defected part not properly working... this is very alarming because anything can happen with motorists on the road and it doesn't have to be your fault. so i called the local volkswagen dealership to inquire about what am i to do having this by law unsafe vehicle note my only vehicle in which i'm still paying for and only had a little over a year with. i drive my car everyday and am at risk everyday with a wife and child who also ride with me and my wife drives from time to time. they told me they had not received the parts to correct this issue yet and i will receive a letter when they do. i expressed my concern and truly feel that volkswagen is responsible for at least offering a replacement vehicle due to its their error for safety inspections and checks until the matter is resolved. i expressed also after they denied any help other than to wait wow id rather had not known than to have to get in my car everyday wondering if my air bag is going to kill me... i truly feel that this issue was and is not being taken seriously at all and i as an paying law abiding have rights. this is negligence and i have read where this negligence led to loss of life!
Takata recall - it's been months since i was first notified. the dealership keeps telling me i have to wait until i get a second letter from takata. this is unacceptable as i drive this vehicle 80+ miles a day.
2014 or 2015 i received a letter that my air bag clock spring recall and another about airbag recall.. i went to dealership and the charger me 1k for the airbag module the said it needed to be replaced and that it was my responsibility.. they informed me.that it had got wet.. i'm not even sure where the module sensor is.. propr to all this i did get an error airbag warning on my car but it went a away i took it to dealership and they never informed me about the airbag module sensor while under warranty. the sensor should not be in a place where i can get it wet.
I received a safety recall from vw regarding the takata airbags. i called the customer care (800-893-5293). they were not able to provide any information. i want a loaner vehicle or a replacement vehicle for my 20-year old son.

Takata recall (nhtsa:16v078) received letter dated april 2016 on the recall which stated may result in serious injury or death o vehicle occupant. giving this serious consequences i contacted vw to request for available option, 1.repair date-not able to provide as no parts available 2. return the car back (with past issues) - denied by vw as they stated national hwy traffic safety did not recommend to take the person out of the car. 3.loaner car - denied as no such policy exist currently with vw. given the serious hazard which the reason the recall was done which deem dangerous to the passenger how can the car is allowed to be driven further more with family/kids onboard. can nhtsa or vw guarantee that they wont be any accident or death caused by the airbag till the repair is done? since we get the letter me and my wife are worried and getting panic unnecessarily thinking in what condition will the airbag will be out ,burst and injure us. previous complains for the same car 1. 08/17/2013 - i). vibrating sound from dash, ii) pop sound from front left side iii) abnormal sound from air-cond/vent iv) click sound when driving in freeway solution/repair - for i) overhead console was replaced and for others the feedback was "operates as designed". also additional multichecks done. all this are documented and attached. 2. 09/17/2013 - i) milddew smell from a/c ii) pop sound from front left side iii) rattle noise from dash solution/repair i) run air-cond clean vent cleaning solution and replaced pollen filter ii) replaced right front wheel bearing & replaced right front strut iii) installed felt tape on all of the clips and contact points.
Takata inflators: my passat is on the recall list but i have not received notice of repair from vw. additionally, they do not have a start date for repairs even estimated. we live in a humid environment (houston, texas) and are very concerned why getting replacement airbags is not a priority given the region we are in.
