Takata recall- I have contacted Volkswagen about this recall and they said there is no remedy, but my life means much more to me than a delayed remedy of a life threatening factor. When I agreed to drive my car it was found safe to drive, but I or anyone can say that anymore. I'd like to take my car to a dealership and trade with a safe vehicle where me and my family can ride. Please help.

The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16V078000 (air bags). The parts to remedy the vehicle were unavailable. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 27,000.....updated 01/11/2017 consumer stated airbag recall replacement could not be completed-part not available- dealer installed "clock spring" as temporary fix until new airbag available- recall spring of 2016- part never made available. VW engineers would examine the car at the salvage site, engineers determined consumer foot was on the gas, not brake pedal and there were no tears in the airbag and therefore not responsible for mechanical failures or personal injuries. Consumer stated foot was on the brake pedal and not gas pedal. Updated 66/22/18
