TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THE RECALL AND REPLACEMENT PART IS STILL NOT OFFERED. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.

DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY THAT CAUSED THE LOCKS TO INITIATE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE PASSED 10 MPH. CAUSED THE DRIVER DOOR TO NO LONGER LOCK, AND DISENGAGED THE ALARM EVEN WHEN OTHER DOORS LOCKED.

TAKATA RECALL. AS OF 6/26/17, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A SECOND RECALL LETTER TO INFORM ME WHEN TO TAKE THE CAR IN. AFTER CALLING THE DEALERSHIP, I STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE AIRBAG WILL BE REPLACED. IS THERE A CLASS ACTION SUITE IN PROCESS REGARD THE TAKATA RECALL?

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET A RECALL REPAIRED DESPITE MY REPEATED EFFORTS AND CONTACT WITH VW CUSTOMER CARE. I AM IN THE MILITARY AND CURRENT RESIDE IN ITALY. VW DEALERS HAVE REFUSED TO REPAIR THIS RECALL AND THE RESPONSE FROM VW IS THAT THEY CAN'T HELP UNTIL THE CAR IS RETURNED TO THE US. UNACCEPTABLE.

THE CAR BEGAN SHAKING ONCE IN A WHILE AND ABOUT A MONTH LATER BEGAN TO DIE WHEN IDLE WAITING AT RED LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. I WAS TOLD THE VACUUM SEAL NEEDED REPLACED BUT TO DO SO EVERYTHING WOULD NEED REPLACED AS YOU CAN'T JUST REPLACE A VACUUM SEAL. THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT OF MY CAR STARTED TO GO HAYWIRE AND EVERY LIGHT, CLOCK WOULD GO OFF IF I TRIED TO START THE CAR. AFTER THAT AS FIXED THE BATTER WHICH WAS TESTED AND AT 99% DIED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. THESE ISSUES HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON A CITY STREET DRIVING AND I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH PEOPLE PASSING ME AND HONKING. I GOT THE CAR FIXED AT STEVEN'S CREEK VOLKSWAGEN IN SUNNYVALE, CA IT WAS VERY EXPENSIVE AND I WAS OUT OF A CAR FOR WELL OVER A WEEK. NONE OF THESE WERE ISSUES CAUSED BY ME. I HAVE VERY LOW MILEAGE AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR.

AIR BAG LIGHT INDICATOR LIGHT ON ON DASH. NO HORN, CLOCK OR STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS WORKING; MAYBE AIR BAG NOT WORKING.STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, ALONG WITH CLOCK SPRING. WINTER/SPRING 2017.

I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO GET THE SPRING WIRE REPLACED BACK WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT. I WASNT HAVING ANY TROUBLE WITH IT THEN. THEY FIXED IT WITH WHAT I ASSUME WAS A FAULTY SPRING WIRE. SO NOW ALL MY COMPONENTS ON MY STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK, MY HORN DOES NOT WORK AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON WITH IT READING AIRBAG ERROR. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAYS FAULTY SPRING WIRE, WHICH IS WEIRD BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY REPLACED IT WITH A GOOD PART AND NOW BECAUSE IVE ALREADY GOTTEN THE RECAL DONE THEY WONT DO IT AGAIN UNDER RECALL.

ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND THE FUEL VAPOR LEAK DETECTION PUMP IMPROPERLY WORKING CAN RESULT IN HEALTH ISSUES.DUETO THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT REDUCING ATMOSPHERIC POLLUTION DUE TO HYDROCARBON EMISSIONS,

TAKATA RECALL RECALL DATE IS FEBRUARY 9, 2016 YET THERE IS NO REMEDY YET FROM VOLKSWAGEN. THNO INCIDENT OCCURED BUT THIS POSES A SERIOUS RISK AS FOLLOWS SHOULD AN INCIDENT OCCUR: "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."

TAKATA RECALL HELLO, I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING VW FOR A WHILE NOW TO REPAIR MY AIRBAGS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. I RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE UNDER RECALL, BUT NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I ASKED FOR A LOANER CAR AND I WAS REJECTED. I ALSO ASKED FOR VW TO BUY BACK MY VEHICLE AND I WAS ALSO REJECTED. IN MARCH 2017, I RECEIVED AN ANOTHER NOTICE ASKING ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED ASAP. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS IN STOCK AND THEY CANNOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME. I CALLED VW BACK AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY CONCERN, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND I CANNOT SELL IT BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO PURCHASE IT DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THE VEHICLE. VW TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP. NO LOANER CAR AND NO REPURCHASE. I ASKED WHAT SHOULD I DO SINCE AN 18 YEAR OLD DRIVES THIS CAR AND YOU ARE STATING THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, THE RESPONSE WAS, GIVE US A CALL IF ANYTHING HAPPENS. THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID THAT EVERYTHING IS IN ACCORDANCE TO NHTSA GUIDELINE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME?

TAKATA RECALL: I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET MY RECALL FIXED BY THE DEALER AND I HAVE BEEN WAITING A FEW MONTHS NOW AND STILL HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAVE ME ON A WAITING LIST BUT I AM TIRED OF WAITING. I WANT THE RECALL PROBLEM FIXED. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING A CAR THAT HAS A HAZARDOUS ISSUE.

"TAKATA RECALL" I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE AND REACHED OUT TO VW AND SPOKE TO A CARE AGENT WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE'S NOTHING THEY WILL DO ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THIS IS THE POSITION IN WHICH THE COMPANY STANDS. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR CHOOSING THIS VENDOR AND THAT EVERYONE DRIVING VW VEHICLE BE REIMBURSED FOR MONEY BEING SPENT ON A FINANCED VEHICLE OR VEHICLE THEY HAVE PURCHASED THAT'S BEING AFFECTED. WE BUY CARS THAT FIT OUR PERSONAL NEEDS. FAMILY SIZE, GAS SAVER ETC. WE ALREADY TAKE A RISK IN DRIVING ANYWAY SO WHY SHOULD WE BE TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THE THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED KNOWING WHAT THE POTENTIAL OUTCOME COULD BE. IF THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WERE AS HIGH AS THEY INTEND US TO BELIEVE THEN THIS ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED BY NOW REGARDLESS HOW MANY AFFECTED. IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO MONEY WITH THE PEOPLE BEING SECOND. I DON'T FEEL SAFE NOR DO I FEEL MY FAMILY IS SAFE DRIVING A VW VEHICLE KNOWING SUCH HAZARD EXIST. TO BE TOLD THERE'S NO ONE ELSE TO SPEAK TO AFTER YOUR CONCERN HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY A CASE MANAGER JUST WON'T DO. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW WHILE PEOPLE CAN AFFORD THE CONCERN. NO ONE SHOULD BE INJURED DUE TO A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION. VW AS WELL THE OTHER AUTO MAKERS NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POOR CHOICE IN VENDOR SELECTION AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE CONSUMERS OF THEIR PRODUCTS.

TAKATA RECALL. VOLKSWAGEN DEALER ADVISED THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THE PROPER PARTS. I WAS ADVISED TO CALL BACK IN "3-6 MONTHS", DESPITE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE RECALL AND THE POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING RISK.

TWO OF OUR LOCAL VW DEALERS HAS INFORMED US THAT NHTSA IS CONTROLLING THE ALLOTMENT NUMBER DISTRIBUTION OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. ONE DEALER INFORMED MY HUSBAND 3 - 4 A MONTH ARE BEING ISSUED. A SECOND DEALER TOLD ME 5 A MONTH ARE BEING ALLOTTED. MY HUSBAND & I BOTH CALLED VW 248-754-5000. TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS TO CUSTOMER SERVICE WE WERE TOLD THAT NHTSA WAS CONTROLLING THE DISTRIBUTION NUMBER AKA ALLOTMENT NUMBER OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS PER DEALER. I WAS DENIED THE RIGHT TO SPEAK TO UPPER LEVEL LEADERSHIP AT VW. WE SPOKE TO LIBBY AND CORY. WE ARE IN HOUSTON AREA 3 MILLION PLUS POPULATION. WE WERE ALSO INSTRUCTED BY DEALER THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING OUR CAR IN FOR AIRBAG INSPECTION AND PART VERIFICATION WHICH INVOLVED DISMANTLING OUR VEHICLE TO CHECK IF REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY AND IF SO WE WOULD BE PLACED ON A LIST WHICH WE MAY OR MAY NOT BE CALLED THAT AIRBAGS SHOWING STRESS WOULD BE REPLACED. THE OTHER DEALER TOLD MY HUSBAND NO AIRBAGS IN HOUSE AND ONLY 3-4 A MONTH WERE BEING ALLOTTED. VW STATES ONLY VIN, MAKE AND MODEL NUMBER ARE NECESSARY FOR REPLACEMENT. IN OUR CASE 2012 PASSAT IS IN QUESTION. VW HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE DISMANTLING AND SELECTIVE, PRIORITY REPLACEMENT OF AIRBAGS. IS IT TRUE THAT DEALERS IN HOUSTON AREA ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED A VERY LIMITED NUMBER (SINGLE DIGIT) OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AT THE DIRECTION OF NHTSA IN THE HOUSTON 3 MILLION PLUS POPULATION METROPLEX? IS IT TRUE NHTSA IS CONTROLLING THE DISTRIBUTION NUMBER TO EACH DEALER? IS IT TRUE THAT ONLY AIRBAGS SHOWING STRESS WILL BE REPLACED? YOUR TIMELY RESPONSE IS REQUESTED.

TAKATA RECALL - WE TOOK IT TO A VW DEALER, NEMER VW IN ALBANY, NY AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE. WE ARE STUCK WITH THE ISSUE. WE WERE TOLD TO SELL THE CAR PRIVATELY.

RECALL WAS ISSUED IN SEPTEMBER OF 2015 AND ITS MARCH OF 2017! IT IS AN AIR BAG, QUITE AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE!

THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WERE NO PARTS AVAILABLE FOR AT LEAST TWO MONTHS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

VW IS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE RECALL, AND I AM CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH THE RECALL, BUT WE ARE GOING INTO A YEAR NOW. I HAVE PUT OFF MAKING ROAD TRIPS IN MY CAR AND THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING.

SUDDEN ENGINE HIGH VIBRATION WHILES DRIVING AND EVENTUALLY ENGINE AND BATTERY FAILURE AT THE SAME TIME AND DAY. VW TECHNICIANS IDENTIFIED PIECES OF METAL FROM ENGINE IN OIL FILTER. LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ELSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. NOTE: CAR IS TAKEN CARE OF WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE USING VW SERVICE

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE'S DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS PART OF THE RECALL. I CONTACTED A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE UNTIL I RECEIVE THE OFFICIAL LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN. THEY ALSO STATED THAT GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HOW MANY VEHICLES NEED AIRBAGS REPLACED, THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY ARE FIXING VEHICLES IN HIGH PRIORITY ZONES FIRST. HOWEVER, JUST LAST MONTH GOT AROUND TO SENDING OUT LETTERS TO ALLOW VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED A YEAR AGO. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY REGISTERED IN A LOW PRIORITY ZONE. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IT WAS PURCHASED IN A HIGH PRIORITY ZONE AND WAS DRIVEN THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I CAN NOT TURN THIS CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR A DEALER TRADE IN AS DEALERSHIPS DO NOT ACCEPT VEHICLES WITH RECALLS. I CAN SELL IT IN THE STATE OF CO INDEPENDENTLY, HOWEVER, WHO WOULD WANT TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE WITH A RECALL ON IT, THAT HAS NO TIMELINE AVAILABLE AS TO WHEN IT CAN BE FIXED. I FEEL EXTREMELY NERVOUS WITH MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HARM OR WORSE KILL HER. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT VOLKSWAGEN CAN NOT EVEN PROVIDE US WITH A DATE IN THE FUTURE THAT THEY CAN FIX THE CAR. I CAN'T EVEN TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A TRADE IN BECAUSE DEALERSHIPS WON'T TAKE CARS THAT HAVE RECALLS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED,

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL FOR THE CLOCK SPRING. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,200.

TAKATA RECALL IN APRIL 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM VW OF THE TAKATA RECALL. IT IS NOW FEB 2017. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM ANYONE IN 10 MONTHS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I CALLED VW AND THEY IN EFFECT SAID NOTHING IS BEING DONE YET. THEY EVEN SAID NO MANUFACTURER HAS DONE A REPAIR. YOUR SITE SAYS 10 MILLION CARS HAVE BEEN FIXED ALREADY. SOMETHING IS CERTAINLY WRONG WITH THIS LACK OF PROGRESS BY VW, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS DANGEROUS AIRBAG PROBLEM. NHTSA MUST PRESSURE VW TO GET OFF THEIR ASSES. THERE IS AT LEAST IGNORANCE, BUT MORE LIKELY LYING, AT ALL LEVELS OF VW. AFTER 10 MONTHS I BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED. JUST BECAUSE TAKATA IS JAPANESE AND VW IS GERMAN IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE. DO YOUR JOB!!

TAKATA RECALL - VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2012 - DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THIS AIRBAG RECALL DEFECT HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING ALMOST A YEAR, AND 11 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THIS IN OTHER CARS, AND VOLKSWAGEN WILL NOT FIX IT OR OFFER A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR, NOR WILL THEY OFFER A BUY BACK TO ME TO HELP ME AVOID THE RISK OF DEATH WHICH COULD BE CAUSED BY THIS DEFECTIVE RECALLED AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE VOLKSWAGEN PAY ME BACK THE MONEY I SPENT ON THIS CAR, SINCE THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT AND DO NOT OFFER ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, AND MY RESELL VALUE OF THIS CAR IS ALSO REDUCED BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO BUY A CAR WITH A RECALL THAT CAN KILL YOU THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I CALLED VW CORPORATE FOR HELP, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING, AND THAT I SHOULD STAY IN THE VEHICLE AND KEEP DRIVING IT DESPITE THE RISK OF DEATH. I WANT THIS FIXED, OR A LOANER/RENTAL CAR TO BE PROVIDED TO ME AT NO COST BY VOLKSWAGEN SO I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE RISKING DEATH, OR I WANT VOLKSWAGEN TO BUY BACK MY CAR FOR FULL PRICE BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT! *TR

HEATER CORE ON A 2012 PASSAT HAS CORRODED AND CLOGGED WITH FACTORY FLUIDS INSIDE STILL. CAUSES THE HEAT TO NOT COME OUT OF THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM

RELATED TO NHTSA ID NUMBER 10929850 WHERE VEHICLE KEEPS TRYING TO RELOCK ITSELF. DEALER SAYS THAT THE INTERNAL LATCH HAS FAILED WITHIN THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER LOCK. THEY WANT $426.65 TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING...SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY DEFECT TO ME.

TAKATA RECALL RECALL WAS ISSUED FEB 2016 AS TO THIS DATE VW HAS NOT MADE ANY REPAIRS NOR DO THEY EVEN KNOW WHEN AND IF REPAIRS ARE TO BE MADE! VW DEALER HAS NO IDEA OF WHEN ANYTHING WILL BE DONE AND SAYS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX AIRBAGS!

TAKATA RECALL- CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED AND THERE IS A LARGE DECREASE IN VALUE.

TAKATA RECALL. TOLD BY DEALERSHIP REPLACEMENT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE UN TIL THE SECOND QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR. I AM A SENIORCITIZEN AND FEARFUL OF DRIVING MY CAR. I ALSO BABYSIT MY INFANT GRANDDAUGHTER AND NEED TO HAVE HER IN MY CAR I WOULD BE DISTRAUTE IF ANYTHING WOULD HAPPEN WHILE DRIVI NG. I BELIEVE WAITING UNTIL WHO KNOWS WHEN IS UNACCEPTABLE. I AM PUTTING MY LIFE IN JEAPARDY EACH TIME I DRIVE.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL INCOMPLETE STILL WAITING FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT

WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY DEFROST/DEFOG FAILURE: DEFROST FAILED ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. CAUSES ICE ACCUMULATION ON WINDSHIELD AND FOGS UP DUE TO INSUFFICIENT HEAT. CAUSES SAFETY AND DRIVE-ABILITY ISSUES IN COLD AND EXTREME COLD WEATHER. HEATER CORE FAILURE MATCHES SIMILAR FAILURE REPORTED NHTSA ID #10079822. REPAIR IS THE EXACT SAME AS NHTSA ID #10079822 AS WELL AS SAME REPAIR REPLACEMENT PART. SHOP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SAME PART MANUFACTURE FAILURE EXISTS BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS VIN. VW NEEDS TO EXPAND PART FAILURE TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES WITH SAME FAILING PART. FAILED PART NUMBER 561.819.031.A AND REPLACED WITH 561.819.031.B. DIAGNOSIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE 2013 GASOLINE PASSAT. I HAVE ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THIS REPAIR IS ONLY BEING OFFERED FOR GASOLINE CARS AND NOT THE DIESEL CARS. I CANNOT CONFIRM BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE DIESEL RECALL. THIS IS ROTTEN I AM NOT OFFERED A FIX FOR THE EMISSIONS AND THEY WILL BUY MY CAR BACK BUT I WOULD TAKE A LOSS OF $3000. IN THE MEAN TIME THEY ARE NOT OFFERING EXTENDED WARRANTY REPAIRS OR ARE ONLY OFFERING THEM ON GASOLINE FUELED CARS. *TR
