Takata recall. Purchased a 2012 vw passat on 08/07/2015. Was not aware of the recall until the salesman made a follow-up courtesy call to me on 08/08/2016. He was advised I never received a letter. I phoned vw customer care, verified my address and requested a letter from them after renewing my registration but never received a recall letter to this day. August 25, 2017 the airbag warning light came on. September 13, 2017 the low tire indicator light came on. I took my vehicle to gossett vw, had the tires inflated and when I drove the vehicle two days later the ABS/traction control/tire pressure/ and seatbelt lights were continually flashing. I spoke to an advocate via chat on vw's seb site. She authorized the airbag repair on 09/22/2017. I paid approximately $341.00 to resolve the problem with the warning lights but to date, 09/27/2017 the problem persists. The dealership did not respond to my complaint and the file was closed on 09/25/2017. I phoned customer care earlier today, wednesday, 09/27/2017 and reopened the case. My vehicle only had 38,415 miles on it. The repair report according to service agent j.o. Claimed they found a short to the passenger occupant sensor causing the ABS light, tire light, and traction light. Correction: repaired short and cleaned right rear speed sensor and bearing. On 09/22, the bottom driver takata airbag was performed. Not only are the same lights alarming each time I turn on the vehicle, but this morning the esp error light flashed. Vw customer care was advised and reopened the complaint. Following the service visit I discovered a broken part with vw # 8e0.881.348.e on the right floor mat of the car. This is alarming. I was advised an advocate from vw corporate should be calling me in response to this horrific ordeal. These incidences occurred 2 weeks after the certified pre- owned warranty expired. Never had any problems with the vehicle before this. I am a senior citizen who is extremely alarmed with this matter.

Clock spring on my vehicle broke for a second time disabling my horn and steering wheel controls. My airbag light is also on. Not only is this a costly fix, but my safety is in jeopardy again due to a part that is widely known to be defective for years. For some reason my car is not included in this voluntary recall and it is very upsetting. Please include this VIN in your recall or even the defective replacements. I don't want to die over a car part.

Takata recall it has been over a year since being notified about the takata airbag recall for our 2012 volkswagen passat. The letter from volkswagen notifying us of an important safety recall was dated april 2016. This safety recall has affected our use of the vehicle since we do not want to drive a vehicle that has an outstanding safety recall. It has also affected resale of the vehicle since we do not want to sell a vehicle that has a safety issue. Do we have to wait for an accident, injury, or even death before something is done?

I had taken my car to get the spring wire replaced back when the recall came out. I wasnt having any trouble with it then. They fixed it with what I assume was a faulty spring wire. So now all my components on my steering wheel do not work, my horn does not work and my airbag light is on with it reading airbag error. I have looked it up and it says faulty spring wire, which is weird because I thought they replaced it with a good part and now because ive already gotten the recal done they wont do it again under recall.

Takata airbag recall incomplete still waiting for repair/replacement
Takata recall hello, I have been contacting vw for a while now to repair my airbags. I do not feel safe driving my car. I received the first notice that the airbags were under recall, but notified that there was nothing they can do about it. I asked for a loaner car and I was rejected. I also asked for vw to buy back my vehicle and I was also rejected. In march 2017, I received an another notice asking me to schedule an appointment with my dealer to have the issue fixed asap. I called to schedule an appointment and I was notified that they do not have parts in stock and they cannot schedule an appointment for me. I called vw back and told them about my concern, I do not feel safe driving my car and I cannot sell it because no one wants to purchase it due to the safety concerns about the vehicle. Vw told me that there is nothing they can do to help. No loaner car and no repurchase. I asked what should I do since an 18 year old drives this car and you are stating that it is not safe to drive, the response was, give us a call if anything happens. They pretty much said that everything is in accordance to the federal safety agency guideline. Can you please help me?
