Volkswagen did not issue a rental car to me. I have no alternate transportation. I also live in a humid environment where the driver's side airbag is more of a risk.
Takata recall - recall was issued in February 2016. It is now October 2016 and VW has not release appropriate solutions to this recall. I am extremely concerned for my safety and I would like VW to issue notices for a proper airbag recall solution in a quick manner. Consumers should not have to wait for an excess of 8 months for a viable solution.
Takata recall. I am a very concerned husband of a wife who drives a car affected by the takata inflator recall. Volkswagen ag is taking an unacceptable amount of time fixing the recall of an item that clearly is a life/death risk. I am disgusted by Volkswagen's lack of urgency with the issue. I want to know what my options are as the little consumer who spent hard-earned money to buy from a multi-billion dollar corporation.
Takata recall - the recall was started in Feb/March of 2016, and VW still does not have a solution for me to replace the dangerous airbags. I need my airbags recall completed in a more timely manner.

I still have not received a notice that the parts for the repair are available. Their website states that they don't have a fix yet!!! this should not be taking this long and am worried about driving the vehicle. I have not received a notice from VW about this recall either.
Takata recall. Still cannot get remedy. Leased car, dealer won't take back on trade in, now going to cost me a fortune when I have to "turn it in" and leave me with no car. Started looking into trade in back on 11/25/15, still cannot trade in or fix almost a year later.

Takata recall - so when will the fix be available" in the meantime, I am driving around with a bomb in my steering wheel? can we have the airbag disconnected until the takata repair is available" no air bag would be better than one that kills the driver.
"takata recall". I am driving this vehicle as I do not have extra cars laying around. My son drives this car. It is very scary to me that VW has had no recalls done, why" other models have had some cars repaired. I am unsure of the difficulty with VW and why they have not had their driver's side airbags fixed. There is no timeline only a suggestion to "drive the care impacted less frequently". does VW or takata think everyone just uses a car for extra or fun. If I had that kind of car, a for fun car, it would not be a VW Passat. We bought this car because it was practical and safe. Now I have to worry if my airbag goes off it could kill myself, my husband or my son. I am frustrated that we are told to not drive the car so much and that they can do nothing but by the way... you could be killed. It is stressful that you cannot sell this car to be rid of it because of this recall. What can you do? when will Volkswagen have a fix, why are they not fixing any airbags yet" we were notified in April 2016 and it is six month later with no update nothing.
Takata recall....there is a recall on my car driver side air bag...dealership states that car manufacturer has not made parts available...this recall has been since early 2016....no accident yet...if I have one I and my passengers will probably be killed..if they wont fix tjis I want them to buy back this vehicle. Vehicle is hazardous to drive.......
