Takata recall- there is still no remedy for this recall, which was issued 7 months ago. VW should be heavily fined for endangering people's lives and made to correct this problem immediately. Every other car manufacturer has fixed this problem.

"takata air bag recall", I have been trying to get the air bags in my two VW's for over a year. I am told that no one has these parts. It is putting myself and my daughter in danger. When I speak to the manager he acknowledges my worries but minimizes the risks. If they explode my daughter or I could be killed. I don't believe that the risks are minimal. I do believe that there is something more that VW can do, other than offering to give me more on a trade in. When they admit that many of the cars on their lots have the same dangerous problem. VW, and I mean all of their dealerships should be very concerned that this"minimal" problem will cause someones death! instead of a cheap fix they will have a huge lawsuit worth millions of dollars. Never, ever buy a VW!!! I bought my VW's from prestige Volkswagen melbourne, Florida. They say they can not help me!

Takata recall our VW dealer (santa monica VW) is saying they still do not have a fix for the recall notice. We first went into the dealer app. 4-5 months ago when the recall notice came out. The NHTSA web site says what the fix is-why can't they fix this problem? I have a teenager that drives the car who, by virtue of being a teenager, has a higher likelihood of being in an accident where a non-functioning airbag could be catastrophic. Please advise how we can get this repaired. Likewise, my 82-year old mother-in-law ([xxx]) has a 2012 VW cc with the same problem. So we have dual exposure in our family to this problem....thank you, [xxx]. information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

Takata recall there has been no resolution after contacting the VW dealer for 6+ months. They say they do not have the parts to fix the issue. It is unacceptable.

Takata recall trying to sell our volkswagon Passat 2012 at our local Chevy dealer on 8/22/2016. Was notified by Chevy dealer that the airbags are on recall. We had no idea our airbags were not safe and under a recall. We were told they can not re-sell this car and we basically can only receive wholesale value for it. We were never notified by volkswagon that we had a recall. Called local volkswagon dealership and they cant replace because none are available. This is not acceptable!! this car is not safe. We need to get the bags replaced or volkswagon should provide a safe car for us to use until they can replace the bags.
Takata recall: VW could care less if I get killed. My lease is up in Oct 2016 and they still won't fix this airbag but doesn't mind me driving a product that is unsafe. Execute the corporate heads so that others get the message.
Takata recall. I've known about the recall since February 2016. It is now August. The dealership will not give me a loner. My wife and I don't fell safe driving the car.
