Takata inflators: Nothing has happened yet, but since the recall says that serious injury or death may occur because of the faulty airbag I am concerned that it has taken so long and we still do not have any indication of when this will be fixed.

Takata recall, I received a notice on 4-16-2016 that the takata airbag needed to be replaced in our Eos 2012 vehicle. I have been unable to get the fredericksburg VW dealership located at 5208 jefferson davis hwy, fredericksburg, va to replace the airbag. I have spoken to them on a number of occasions and have sent emails to others within VW but have been unable to get VW to replace my airbag.
My car is part of takata airbag recall. Dealer wil not repair or provide loaner vehicle. My safety and my family's safety is at serious risk. That is unacceptable. I tried selling the car but was offered ridiculously low value due to recall. So they won't fix it and further will penalize me financially when trying to trade it. I want my car fixed now or a loaner vehicle provided
Takata recall on my VIN states: "recall incomplete. Remedy not yet available." If my vehicle is unsafe to drive as reported by takata safety risk, what is my next course of action since the recall is incomplete and remedy is not yet available?

Takata recall - even though VW published public notice of this air bag recall on April 12, 2016, we still haven't been notified of a scheduled replacement. We should be on a priority listing since we live in a sub-tropical climate (SC) and our vehicle is among the older installations (2012). We have never been contacted by VW.
I called findlay VW in henderson nv to make appt to have airbag replaced. They said VW does not "have a remedy" and they have no idea when the air bag can be replaced. It is common knowledge VW is dragging their feet in replacing these takata airbags. I want to sell this car since I only bought it in 9/2015. Where can I get the airbag replaced" I have a three year platinum extended warranty thru that covers the airbags. I do not want to drive the car because of the danger. I have read where other manufacturers and replacing the airbags at a good steady pace except for VW, which doesn't seem to be replacing any. What gives? who can I seek recourse from"
Takata recall. I leased this vehicle and then purchased it from the dealer. He sold it to me after the airbag issues were known and did not advise me of that before purchase. Also I have been given no date on which the deadly airbags will be fixed. I was notified in February 2016. I am afraid my car will be hit and the airbags will kill me. When is something going to be done to force VW to give its car owners a loaner until this issue is fixed?

There are no parts available to replace the airbags that have been recalled and are a threat to life if they deploy. I bought out my lease two years ago and I believe they knew of this issue but let me buy the car anyway. Also, the recall just said the airbag didn't work properly, not that shards of metal could kill me if it deployed. I only learned this Saturday while at the dealer after I put over $300 fixing the start button and $700 putting on new tires. The dealer said he would buy my car for $12,000 only if I bought another VW. This car is a threat to my life and I don't want to drive it. Please take action so we are not forced to gamble with our lives while driving a vehicle we bought and maintained in good faith!

Received airbag recall notice from VW. Called local dealer was referred to VW America. VW is doing nothing for customers as NHTSA has not issued a do not drive order. How many deaths will it take to force VW into doing what is right for consumers or for NHTSA to issue a do not drive order?. if my wife drives her car, and is injured, I will be holding VW and the NHTSA responsible.
