Takata recall. I have submitted a request to the dealer that I purchased the vehicle from requesting an update for the driver side air bag repair. To date I have not received a reply. The dealer is serramonte Volkswagen, 711 serramonte blvd., colma, ca 94014. I purchased the vehicle new in February 2014 and received safety recall 69M9 in April 2016 from Volkswagen of America, Inc., 3800 hamlin road, auburn hills, mi 48326. I would like to know when I can expect this recall to be addressed.
Takata recall: The car is unsafe to drive because of the airbag constitutes a lethal threat. The value of this vehicle has of course plummeted as a result, making trading it in economically impossible. The recall is more than a year old, and there is no remedy in sight. VW seems to be sidestepping responsibility here, and telling customers "don't blame us--blame takata." But takata was VW's specific oem!
Takata recall-the recall on my car has been out since February of last year, almost a year now. According to Volkswagen, they do not yet have a remedy available. This is a serious issue involving my safety and it needs to be fixed.

Takata recall just read that it may take over 3 more years for the fix of the airbags. I planned to trade this vehicle for another one. Now waiting 3 years for a fix will lower the value of my car. Is there a sooner time frame then 3 additional years.
When I got Passat SE I did research and I thought it was a safe car. My first priority to lease a car was safety. On April 2016 I got a letter from VW that airbag on front is not safe and it may causes serious injury or death. It been almost 10 months and still there is no words on when it will be fix. What is going to happen if I get in accident and die" who would fulfill my place for my kids" I want to change the car or have VW buy my car back. I want to live with my family not die. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be fixed right away. I got in accidentand the front airbag did not open

Takata recall: This recall has been open for a long time with no remedy in sight, I am filing a complaint because this is unsafe and I do not feel comfortable driving my car.
Takata recall Volkswagen will not fix the airbag of the car, help find a remedy or give a date to fix it. My wife is pregnant and has to drive a car with an airbag that has potentially been transformed into a bomb after it has been subjected to the Florida heat.

Takata recall no solution to remedy the possibility of killing my child in a crash. We cannot drive the car with our child full knowing of what could happen. VW has done nothing. And nothing in sight. We are very upset there are no answers. We knew of the recall since 6/16. We just took car in for a service and learned the severity of it all. We decided we want out of the car. The VW dealer we bought the car from would not offer us anything but auction price for our car as they cannot even resell it!! we cannot afford to buy a new car with negative equity on a car that has been recalled but they can't fix it!! we are very very upset and now we are playing russian roulette with our lives. We bought the car for its safety rating and now it's potentially the cars safety features that could kill my family. Takata and VW need to figure this out and now!!!

Takata recall. This recall is far too slow. It is a dangerous safety item, and it is more than a year that this problem has been well know. NHTSA must compel takata and the car manufacturers to increase production or outsourcing of the defective parts. There is no doubt that production could have been increased long ago if the parts were being sold at a profit. This is shameful on the part of NHTSA, takata and the automobile manufacturers.
Recall has been in effect since February 2016 and dealer still has no idea when VW will supply replacements. This has lead to us having to drive an unsafe vehicle for last 10 months. When will a fix be coming.
