Hi I have a 2006 volkswagen passat 2.0t and it has two recalls on the vehicle. I called volkswagen to fix the recalls but they saying they can't fix my car because it won't start. I told them that the fuel pump control module recall could be the reason it won't start and that they need to fix it even if it doesn't start. The guy name ryan say he will have to charge me $130 to see what's wrong with the car before he can fix the recalls. I think he full of it and just want to find something else wrong with my car so he can say oh this the problem and try to charge me a arm and a leg. I feel like just because my car won't start doesn't mean he can't fix my recalls. Am I wrong because I thought by law no matter the circumstances or condition of the vehicle the recalls have to be fixed.

Takata recall-I have received yet another recall notice about airbag repair but this is not possible. Waldorf volkswagen does not have the parts to complete this repair for my vehicle. My airbag light has been illuminated for over a year and I really don't drive the car as a result of this. Why does vw of america continue to send these repair notices but there aren't any parts available yet? This is totally unacceptable!

Takata recall. I received the recall notice in the summer of 2016. I called the local (richmond, virginia) dealer recently and was told that they are not able to fix the problem, and they did not have any idea of when a solution would be available. I would like to know when to expect a solution.
Takata recall got a letter from vw saying to take my car in for repair and when I called the dealer they said they did not have the part yet????
