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.
Takata recall - I want to be able to exchange out of my lease with VW credit into a newer 2016 VW that is not part of this recall. VW is denying my request and saying my lease is not negotiable. However, on page 2 under early termination liability", it clearly states I am able to get out of my lease if there is "irreparable damage" (this is the recall that has no remedy} my 2014 Passat was hit on the 101 freeway at 55 mph and thankfully I was not injured. After two months in the repair shop, they almost totaled it, but did not. Then, I noted the recall as well on the 2014 VW> I do not feel safe driving this car and do not want to continue to drive it knowing the next time I could die due to airbag inflating. Please address this with VW credit and group of America.
It has been 6 months and there has been no replacement airbag for my vehicle. This is a leased vehicle and is currently unsafe to drive. I have approached the dealership as well as Volkswagen of America. V of a told me to "go ahead and drive the car". this is unacceptable. Takada airbags had issues before 2014, and the company still bought from them. They had to have knowledge of the problem. I am paying for a vehicle that I can not drive
