Takata recall why is vw being allowed to drag their feet. I was first notified months ago and still they say no remedy. And yet, other manufacturers have logged over 8 million repairs. I keep getting notices and yet no repair is available. How can I feel safe driving my vehicle?
Takata recall- after receiving this recall the dealership claims that there is no repair available.
Takata recall 16v078. The local dealership sold me the car on 2/9/16 and the recall was announced the very same day. There is no "remedy yet available." as of 5/4/16 I have received no recall notice from vw or contact from the dealership. Vw dealerships are still selling dangerous recalled vehicles.
Checking to see if my car will be repaired soon?

Takata recall: I was on hold with vw customer service this morning for one hour and twenty minutes for them to tell me there is currently no fix for the recalled air bag that is in my car and that vw does not have a loaner car program for its customers to use until it fixes the problems with he airbags. They also informed me that the federal safety agency states that my car is safe to drive until the airbags can be fixed. Yet all over the news it states that the cars with the takaka recall are not safe to be driving until the airbags are fixed.
Takata recall- since I purchased my vehicle I have not had a time where there isn't a recall of some sort. I have been attempting to trade in my vehicle for months and everyone is offering nearly nothing. Come to find out ithe is due to the takata recall that has rendered my car in a "stop sale", a buying and selling freeze. No one will buy them because they can't sell them due to this issue. I am stuck with an ever recalled vehicle that is a potential death trap and I have no way out of it. Takata is not doing anything to remedy this situation and is creating a possible death trap for people driving them and a huge financial burden because we can't purchase a safer vehicle.
Takata recall - I have tried multiple times to contact vw regarding the airbag recall and am getting zero answers or resolution. I called customer care and asked for a time-frame for the fix and received none. I asked for a loaner and was told to request one from the local dealership. A week after leaving a message with the service manager at the dealership, I received a call that they don't have loaner cars that don't have airbags in them that are not impacted, so it made no difference. I waited a month and checked vw's website and there is zero information as to when they will receive parts or when this will be fixed. I opened a chat with vw customer care on 4/15 and received a copy and paste response to my concerns, which stated nothing of substance. I was also again denied a loaner car which was safe in the interim. I feel that vw and takata are not taking the matter seriously or moving in a fast enough manner. I understand the scope of this, but there needs to be urgency in that people are dying and other are driving unsafe cars. Vw should have loaner cars available along with a timeline of thefix in place at this point as the recall was announced last year. I am very upset with their handling. Any pressure that could be put on them to extend loaner cars or move faster would be appreciated. I also live in a high heat state (nc), which compounds the seriousness. Thank you.
