Takata recall: When I was first notified of the recall around the beginning of the year, I made an appointment to have the recall fixeda few months later. When I arrived, nobody bothered to inform me the part was not available. This was maybe in May. Recently, I called VW of America about the safety concern. They said they would not buy the car back from me or swap it out for another car but gave no explanation. When I called cherry hill Volkswagen to ask why, if the car was so safe they would not buy it back from me, the salesperson was rude to me and claimed I knew what I was getting into when I bought the car. I am not sure what that means as I was unaware of the recall. I do not feel safe driving my children around in this car.
"takata recall" as the takata recall has been ongoing for sometime, my family car was officially recalled in February of 2016 - with the results of airbag rupture being "serious injury or death". to date (Dec. 16) there is not a remedy to this recall. I have been told by my local dealership as well as VW corporate, that they are working on a solution, but are not offering any form of alternate vehicle or compensation/payment relief. Unfortunately, I do not have a choice but to continue using this vehicle in hopes that we do not have an accident or a sudden rupture of the bag. I have also looked at the possibility of trading my vehicle in for a different vehicle, but I have been told that the dealership cannot sell my vehicle with open recall, so they are not willing to take it in on trade. Also, while dealers of other makes have been willing to take the trade, the value due to recall has decreased substantially to the point where I would have to pay an outrageous amount to get into another vehicle. VW needs to stand behind the vehicles and come up with a safe alternative for their customers.

Airbag light came on while turning the steering wheel. I looked up a similar issue on NHTSA website (15V483000 campaign) with a steering wheel clock spring issue for multiple VW vehicles. It listed 'some' 2014 Passat's as being affected. I took it to the dealer who stated that my VIN was not listed as being effected, however it has to given it is the same make/model as this NHTSA campaign. Please consider reviewing and expanding this recall. Vehicle is less than 3 years old and it is clearly the same issue.

I was offered to return my car from a lease with 7 months left, through the VW early buyback promotion. This is when I was told that my vehicle was subject to a dangerous recall, which could cause death, and that no fix was available for it at this time. I am extremely upset about this report and VW brushed my complaint by saying that I only had 7 months left to pay and I could return the vehicle. I feel this is unacceptable response and am not comfortable with driving car anymore.
Takata air bag recall we were informed on May 20, 2016 about the known recall for the takata airbag for our car by our service technician at the Volkswagen dealership. It is November 6, 2016 and we have heard nothing from the manufacturer or the dealership regarding the solution to the problem
Takata recall. !!!!!!! worried about driving the car now and I can't even sell it to get another car. This is depriving me of use of my property. We owners of cars effected deserve much more than replacing parts.
