I received the recall notice back to February 9, 2016. However, remedy is still not yet available after almost six months. I am really disappointed about Volkswagen's execution and feel unsafe when driving my car.

Takata recall I received notice concerning a recall on the airbag for my vehicle but when I called VW service several times, I was informed that the replacement part has not been made available. My concern is, if I or my daughter or husband was to get into an accident while driving the car and the airbag deploys, severely injuring or killing my family, instead of the airbag saving them, I'm going to file against VW. Because VW decided to wait and do their own investigation. I'm worried and I will be returning the car if this matter is not resolved immediately

Takata recall my vehicle is on the recall list for the driver side takata air bag recall. Volkswagon never contacted us about it, that we were driving a car with the faulty air bag, volkswagon did instruct their dealers to not sell the 2012-2014 Passats and had them remove them from their lots, but are ok with their customers driving them. I contacted VW, to opt out of my lease early with no penalty, I only have 6 months left on my lease. But they refused it. I am appalled my family's safety is not a concern from this company. Weren't they supposed to notify their customers with a written letter? there is no fix for the problem, I understand that, but they aren't even trying to ease the fears or inform their customers of the potential hazards of driving these vehicles.

Takata recall. Although I received the VW recall notice in April, 2016, they still claim that they do not have parts to fix this recall, and will not give me a date when I can expect this recall to be fixed. Since this is a serious safety issue, the lack of response by VW is very concerning to us.
