Takata recall. Recently I submitted a request for reimbursement for funds related to the airbag recall. The request was turned down by VW. They stated that there have been no incidents of airbag failures and said replacing the airbags will be precautionary. Obviously they don't feel they need to be "timely" about this. I feel they are just stalling. I did spend $726.40 on an auto train when I first heard about the recall because I was afraid to drive the car. I feel VW has no intention to repair the car.

Safety recall 69M9 NHTSA 16V078 repair not yet available. Should I wait till I get disfigured or die from the explosion to sue VW. This is so much more urgent than air polution forgery case. I live in ca where it gets very hot. Should I get airbag removed to avoid risk of explosion. I purchased this car used a year ago.

Takata recall...VW says they don't have the part to fix this but they want to get paid on their lease but the car is not safe to drive. Why can't you get them to fix this, my lease will be over before when I won't have to worry about this but someone else will.
Takata recall I am in upper management with enterprise rent a car and I have personally worked with hundreds of people who are dropping their cars off at the Honda dealerships because they are unsafe to drive. I have listened to the stories of the 12+ deaths that have occurred from these airbags from the mouths of people who are so thankful to get a safe rental car until their car can be fixed. I have spoken with GM's at the dealerships about this recall and I truly understand the scope and the seriousness of this situation. You can imagine how shocked I was to find out that not only was my wife's VW a part of the takata recall but that VW was not providing loaner cars for their customers with effected vehicles. I essentially received a letter in the mail that said "your car has a grenade in the steering wheel that could kill you. We currently don't have a way to fix this but we will let you know when we do. Keep driving until you hear from us." When I called VW customer service to find out how on earth they could justify not providing safe transportation like the other auto manufacturers were I was told that no one has died in a VW yet, they have all been Honda. Essentially they are waiting for someone to die before they bite the bullet and foot the bill for safe replacements? I think it's clear that VW is rolling the dice and trying to avoid another massive expenditure while it's still reeling financially from its emissions scandal.
The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Passat. While driving 5 mph, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under NHTSA campaign number: 15V483000 (air bags), but the remedy for the recall failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the air bag warning light illuminated after the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was willing to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was 41,500.
Takata recall a couple months ago I had recall 15V483000 completed on my 2012 Passat. I was experiencing electrical issues such as cruise control not working, wipers turning on for no reason. It seemed to be connected to the steering column since both of these features are connected to the steering column. After the recall was completed no further issues until today. I made a U-turn and my airbag light came on and hasn't went off sense. I'm concerned after reading about shrapnel and airbag deployment.

Takata recall- my husband and I took our VW Passat that has an emissions recall and takata recall and they said that the manufacture doesn't think that this is a big deal. The manufacture refuses to provide a loaner for our vehicle. They said that it is perfectly safe to drive. How can some manufactures put other customers in loaners because of the same recall and tell them not to drive and others say its not a big deal. I do not trust Volkswagen since we were also affected by their emissions recall. Can you please clarify and what the next step should be. We did have an appointment to get all recalls on this vehicle addressed and to get parts ordered. At this point recall notices are like monthly statements.
