Takata recall on november 11, 2017, I took my car to tony volkswagen in waipahu, hawaii to replace the takata air bags. It took one whole year for their service department to get the part and get back to me. Terrible service. On august 3rd, 2018, I received a takata recall again saying it was not replaced. The name of the service advisor was 51448 aaron chan from tony volkswagen in waipahu hawaii. This is my complaint. It was never replaced in the first place. Unethical and fraudulent!!!

In february of 2017, my vehicle stalled on a busy freeway while in motion and completely died, after towing the vehicle to the dealership they determined several parts needed to be replaced including mounting, bearing, c valve, ah separator, ribbedbelt, tensioner, c-gasket, d-gasket, seal ring and bolt. After driving the vehicle home again it died. I took it back to the dealership where they replaced the fuel pump module, washer and control unit. The car appeared to be driving fine the day I left, but the next morning it wouldn't start. I had the vehicle towed to the dealership in which they advised I needed a new battery. I kept up with all service and in january of 2018 while driving the vehicle, it stalled yet again while in motion, with vehicles almost striking me, after towing the vehicle to the dealership, they advised it was the fuel pump module again. They replaced the part. The car was driving fine until march 2018 when the vehicle stalled on the freeway while in motion. The dealership now states the bushings are cracked and dry rotted, and the mechatronic unit has failed and the vehicle now needs a new transmission.

I have had an issue with a gas smell that arises from the engine compartment for over 4 years-- I was encourage to change my fuel pump by vw dealer-- but that was not the problem. I was encouraged to only put premium grade a gas and fuel injector cleaners which I did repeatedly, unfortunately the smell worsened until the day I went to register my car and I was told that there was a visible fuel leak from under the manifold and it was a slow drip that was evaporating off the engine head. I was told the car could combust at any time. I went to the nearer vw and the problem that no one could figure out for years was a "fuel line to high pressure pump" $ 399 total-- I no longer have this fuel smell. But based on my research there are thousands of vw's all models with the same issue .the fuel smell was noted the year after I purchased the car with 20,000 miles and the hose gave out at 70,000 miles. I believe this is a reportable incident for a possible recall.
