"takata recall" on April of 2016 I received a safety recall 69M9 takata sdi driver frontal airbag from VW. I live in miami, (zone a covers states with high temperature cycling and humidity. Time until unsafe propellant degradation may occur is projected at between six and nine years.), and the dealership has not yet given me a recall date.
"takata recall!" recieved recall letter in Jan. 2016. Everytime I call dealership im told parts are not in. My car already stopped running and I had to have it towed into a mechanic where he knew that the fuel injection issue was a recall. I had to pay him $100 for taking my car apart and telling me it was a familiar issue he had when working on another VW..and that I should call VW and ask if there was a recall. Of course, there was. I then had to pay for a 2nd tow from that shop to VW. They fixed that recall..that I never even got a letter notifying me of the recall. VW fixed it. Yet now I am still waiting as many others for the parts to come in so my car can be repaired with this airbag issue. As far as im concerned this car was made horribly unsafe and its falling apart, aside from the other work ive paid into having done to it. Am I supposed to keep praying I dont get a serious injured or fatal accident. As, there has already been both seriously injured and fatal accidents as a result from this unrepaired issue..I dont feel safe ever getting in my car. Ive aleady been in an accident with hard impact and it didnt deploy. I am requesting that this car be bought back from me, or taken back and put me in a safe replacement car of nothing less than equal value. Or at the very least put me in a rental car at your expense. This is a matter that if not resolved quick will be reviewed over by someone that can do something about it. Lives do matter!
According to the VW dealer I have to wait to be called but NHTSA web page states that for vehicles in zone a (hot and humid) from May 2011 and older the replacement should have been scheduled in May 16, 2016. It is December 2016 and I am still waiting. Please advise.

Clock spring recall recently my airbag light went on and when I make a turn with a steering wheel rotation of over 270* my horn will go off, I also only have intermittent use of the steering wheel controls to my instrumentation. There is a recall on the year and make of my car for the clock spring, however my VIN is not included. The signs point to a defective clock spring to which I lost the functionality of my airbag and the electronic functionality of my steering wheel. I called VW service department and they said my vehicle is not covered under the recall so there is no need to bring it in. I really don't feel safe operating this vehicle considering there has been an open recall involving the takata recall for well over a year. (VW told me that they will contact me when parts are available to fix). This happened when I made a left turn into a parking spot, the airbag light when on and it said "service airbag".
Takata recall has yet to be addressed on my vehicle. When will Volkswagen be able to make the replacement? I am concerned that it has been more than nine months without a solution.

Takata inflators: I was notified of this recall almost one year ago, yet my dealer still does not have the parts. Watching a report yesterday I learned that the vehicles most vulnerable are those 6 years old and kept in a hot humid climate. My car meets both of these criteria. I am uncomfortable driving this vehicle.

Takata recall. My car's VIN shows that my driver's side airbag is included in this recall. VW is not even listed in the priority groups, yet my car is now 7 years old and I'm in zone a (where the propellant is said to degrade to an unsafe level in 6-9 years). I know many people (non-VW drivers) who've had passenger-side bags replaced. I respectfully request driver's-side airbags are prioritized over passenger-side; passengers can ride in the back seat or not at all, but a car is completely useless if it's unsafe for the driver/ cannot be driven. Or please require VW to provide loaners; they are not doing so at this time. I spoke with them again today. If not, what am I to do? I live in la, where a car is necessary.

Takata recall NHTSA 16V078 69M9 safety recall takata frontal airbag received in April 2016. No further action taken. When does "reasonable time" expire?
"takata recall " I called today 10/5/16 ( letter of recall issued back in 03/2016) the VW manufacturer again and explained to them what the issue is. They told me they don't know what to tell me because the VW cars are not on the top high risk list for part replacement and VW don't have an estimated date of part replacement, maybe never" what does that mean, that owners who are badly injured or dead because of this recall are priority and the rest of us who are concerned can wait???!!! does that mean that nobody including the VW and the NHTSA don't care about getting this part asap for all vehicle owners who's cars are recalled. I asked if I can try to replace the recalled part somewhere else and have VW just refund me the money, they said no, so that doesn't make any sense to me either. Can the government expedite this recall part in any way" I am sure many other VW vehicle owners want an answer to this too.
