It has been over a year since this recall was expanded to include VW, yet neither the dealers, nor the manufacturer have parts to support the recall; yet parts are clearly available as vehicles are still being produced. Volkswagen's failure to provide replacement parts for a safety related recall with the potential to inflict serious bodily injury or death is unconscionable and reckless. Over a year since the recall began and they still do not have a timeline of when parts may be available, this clearly seems to be an issue of motivation. Instead they just sent letters that a recall exists, not very helpful in correcting a safety issue with life threatening potential; yet other vehicles have completed nearly 13 million corrections.

Takata inflators I had received a notice from VW auto company in the month of March that there is a problem with the driver side safety air bag. Here is what it said "akata has reported that the driver frontal airbag inflator could potentially rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash where the frontal airbags are designed to deploy. 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." It clearly says that this issue might result in serious injury or even death in case of an accident. I drive my VW with my kids in it and god forbid, if something were to happen, is VW taking the responsibility for any losses incur? I am surprised no action has been taken as yet to fix this problem. I am scared to drive this car around now. The thought that anything can happen to my family members during an event has taken away the peace of mind from me. The least I expect from VW is to at least give a courtesy vehicle until they resolve this issue.

All controls located on the steering wheel went dead, and airbag failure indicator came on. Turning vehicle off and restarting it did not solve the problem. Drivers side airbag seems not to be functional.
