Takata recall has not been resolved, "no remedy available" cited. The remedy: Replace the airbag! this should not take months or years, I am driving tens of thousands of miles at the wheel of a guillotine in the meantime. You should require VW to supply loaner cars.

"takata recall" I have been waiting on the dealership to contact me for a replacement, still dont have them! I have been told not to worry not to worry because VW hasn't had any injuries yet! I surely dont want to be the first! as I drive my car everyday I am thinking about this airbag. This is scary to say the least. What am I to do, there should be an automatic trade in for a car with no issues as this. Please lead me in the right direction.

Takata recall - Volkswagen Cc airbag it has been 10 months since this air bag recall has been active and we are still waiting for it to be repaired. This is too long to wait for a safety issue. Volkswagen should step up and do the right thing even if they have to get someone else to fix this serious safety issue.

Takata recall - I have known about this recall and requested a fix since February 2016. It's been almost a full year and they do not have a fix in place! I should be able to take this to any dealer and get a new air bag quickly! why is there not a new air bag to be placed in my vehicle?
Takata recall I received a letter from VW of America on April 2016 informing me bout this recall. J have contacted VW of America, the dealers in macon and warner robins Georgia; unfortunately the only answer I got was it may take up to 2 or 3 years for us to get the replacement bags, therefore drive carefully. They should provide me with a safe car but unfortunately they are just joking with me which I find unacceptable. I have heard my friends owning Honda and suffering from the same issue, and Honda let them use rental cars for 4 or 5 months until they got the issue resolved. VW should be one of the leading top ranking car manufacturers but their customer service is poor when it comes to safety issues. I hope you will make sure that I am given a safe car to drive till mine meets the safety requirements again.
Takata recall my vehicle has an airbag recall and yet I have not been given an option to take it in for check up. I hope to also get the dash cleared up of all the lights indicating various errors on my car. My vehicle started acting up this way as it was stationary for about 6 months total now.

I have purchased this vehicle in March 2016 when the recall was issued and there is still no fix available. Every day I drive the vehicle my life is in danger. I am to be protected by the airbag if I get into a car accident, but with this recall I don't even have the airbag to protect me it will only make the outcome worse.
Takata recall - still no remedy for effected vehicle. Need this fixed!!!! no current problem, but airbag should always be at ready to perform at optimal efficiency!!!!!
Takata recall has been ongoing for over 8 months. This matter is serious and needs to be rectified in a more timely manner before 1 year since original announcement. I am not waiting for grave bodily injury to occur before submitting a complaint.
Takata recall VW is not able to tell when a replacement airbag will be available, nor assist with a replacement vehicle. The risks seem to be higher with older cars and given the age of my car this matter should be rated with urgency. It's been over a year since the takata issue was made public and it's unacceptable for a consumer to drive an unsafe car for such an extended period of time.
Takata recall. My vehicle has recalled airbags, and volkswagon currently has no solution to the problem. Volkswagon sent me a notice 6 months ago, telling me about the defective airbags. There should be a solution at this time.
