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.......

A recall for the front driver airbag inflator has been recalled on my vehicle. The recall was posted on February of 2016 has the manufacturer has not provided a remedy as of now. Due to this I am not able to obtain a city inspection required for my vehicle which in turn I am not able to work. When I purchased the vehicle the VW dealer told me the recall was fixed prior to me purchasing the vehicle. I am requesting a remedy for this safety issue immediately or the manufacturer to replace my vehicle that is safe for me to drive.

Takata recall. This vehicle is for sale at a dealership and the airbag inflator has not been replaced yet. It has been several months that the dealership is waiting for the airbag parts so the dealer can replace the airbag on the drivers side. I was interested in purchasing the car until I found out about the takata recall and the airbag has not been replaced. According to your nhsta statement, the airbag should be replaced in a timely manner. The seattle dealership is still waiting to replace the airbag which means it is not being replaced timely. They had no expected date for a new airbag to come in for replacement.
" takata 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!

I was sent a safety recall notice 69M9 for takata sdi driver frontal airbag in April of 2016; as of 9/16/16 there is no remedy available for this recall. I drive my car everyday with two little children. I am outraged that I have to hope for the best. Other manufacturers have managed get parts to fix this issue on other vehicles. Why not VW?

Takata recall- I received a recall notice in April 2016. I went to the dealer at that time and was told that the parts were not available. I called again and was told that the parts would not be available until after July 11, 2016. I just returned from the dealer, where they told me that they still do not have the parts. The recall notice states that an inflator rupture can result in serious injury or death. The Volkswagen dealer, Volkswagen of murrieta (California), refused to provide a rental car for use until the defect is repaired.
