This car has an active recall on it since April, 2023 with no known remedy. In the meantime, I'm not supposed to have a passenger sit in the front seat. My lease is ending. I cannot buy the car from the dealer because they won't sell it with an open recall.

It has been over 9 months since VW issued a recall of the front passenger airbag. We were instructed not to use the front passenger seat. With children and sports equipment to haul around it is extremely inconvenient, bordering on making the vehicle obsolete with an inability to use the front passenger seat. We have not heard anything from VW regarding a fix and they have not responded to my attempts to contact them.

I would like to file a formal complaint regarding the current recall on this vehicle. This recall has been a known issue since March 29, 2023 and as of today's date there is no found resolution. The suggestion from VW is that no individual ride in the passenger front seat until the issue is resolved. It is completely unrealistic and unreasonable to ask any individual to abide by this suggestion for this long of a time period. I am unable to use my vehicle to travel anywhere with the whole family unless they all sit in the back. VW needs to come up with a solution for fixing the recall immediately.

My passenger airbag light has been showing an error light on and off since March of 2023. I-??ve brought it to a Volkswagen dealership 2 separate times, and they advised me they didn-??t have a fix for the issue. This is our family car that we HAVE to drive everyday to get to work and school. Everyday someone is at risk by riding in the passenger seat. It-??s been 9 months of my family being at risk on the roads. I would like something to be done in regards to my vehicle asap so my family is safe.
