"takata recall" I found out about this airbag safety issue and reached out to vw and spoke to a care agent who told me that there's nothing they will do about the issue and this is the position in which the company stands. I feel that they should be accountable for choosing this vendor and that everyone driving vw vehicle be reimbursed for money being spent on a financed vehicle or vehicle they have purchased that's being affected. We buy cars that fit our personal needs. Family size, gas saver etc. We already take a risk in driving anyway so why should we be told to wait until the the issue is resolved knowing what the potential outcome could be. If the safety of the people were as high as they intend us to believe then this issue would be resolved by now regardless how many affected. It all boils down to money with the people being second. I don't feel safe nor do I feel my family is safe driving a vw vehicle knowing such hazard exist. To be told there's no one else to speak to after your concern has been reviewed by a case manager just won't do. This issue needs to be addressed now while people can afford the concern. No one should be injured due to a vehicle malfunction. Vw as well the other auto makers need to be accountable for this poor choice in vendor selection and do what's right for the consumers of their products.
Takata recall. Volkswagen dealer advised they cannot fix the problem as they have not yet received the proper parts. I was advised to call back in "3-6 months", despite the seriousness of the recall and the potentially life-threatening risk.

Reference 10967968 give vw corporate 800‑822‑8987 requesting loaner car due to lack availability of replacement airbag. Spoke to rahlonda. I was denied a loaner car due to the fact a "not a stop drive issued on vehicle". The second & third the federal safety agency reference number issued received email 1082444, 10967942. I was again denied the right to speak to corporate management.

Two of our local vw dealers has informed us that the federal safety agency is controlling the allotment number distribution of replacement airbags. One dealer informed my husband 3 - 4 a month are being issued. A second dealer told me 5 a month are being allotted. My husband & I both called vw 248‑754‑5000. Two consecutive days to customer service we were told that the federal safety agency was controlling the distribution number aka allotment number of replacement airbags per dealer. I was denied the right to speak to upper level leadership at vw. We spoke to libby and cory. We are in houston area 3 million plus population. We were also instructed by dealer that we needed to make an appointment to bring our car in for airbag inspection and part verification which involved dismantling our vehicle to check if replacement was necessary and if so we would be placed on a list which we may or may not be called that airbags showing stress would be replaced. The other dealer told my husband no airbags in house and only 3-4 a month were being allotted. Vw states only VIN, make and model number are necessary for replacement. In our case 2012 passat is in question. Vw had no problem with the dismantling and selective, priority replacement of airbags. Is it true that dealers in houston area are being distributed a very limited number (single digit) of replacement airbags at the direction of the federal safety agency in the houston 3 million plus population metroplex? Is it true the federal safety agency is controlling the distribution number to each dealer? Is it true that only airbags showing stress will be replaced? Your timely response is requested.

Takata recall - still waiting on vw to replace the airbag in my vehicle. I have been told to just continue on driving and not to worry about it, that they will get to me when they get to me. It is now over a full year later and no solution.

Vw is unable to replace the recall, and I am concerned with my safety while driving. I have been very patient with the recall, but we are going into a year now. I have put off making road trips in my car and this is beyond frustrating.

"takata recall" my vehicle's driver airbag inflator needs to be replaced as part of the recall. I contacted a volkswagen dealership and they stated that they will not repair my vehicle until I receive the official letter from volkswagen. They also stated that given the magnitude of this problem and how many vehicles need airbags replaced, they cannot tell me when I will be able to get my vehicle fixed. They indicated that they are fixing vehicles in high priority zones first. However, just last month got around to sending out letters to allow vehicles to be repaired even though this problem was identified a year ago. It should also be noted that the vehicle is presently registered in a low priority zone. The problem with this is that it was purchased in a high priority zone and was driven there for several years. I can not turn this car into a dealership for a dealer trade in as dealerships do not accept vehicles with recalls. I can sell it in the state of co independently, however, who would want to purchase a vehicle with a recall on it, that has no timeline available as to when it can be fixed. I feel extremely nervous with my 19 year old daughter driving around in a car that could potentially harm or worse kill her. I find it unacceptable that volkswagen can not even provide us with a date in the future that they can fix the car. I can't even take it to a dealership for a trade in because dealerships won't take cars that have recalls that have not been fixed,

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen passat. While driving 30 MPH, the air bag warning indicator illuminated. The dealer diagnosed that the clock spring failed.

Takata recall in april 2016 I received notice from vw of the takata recall. It is now feb 2017. I have heard nothing from anyone in 10 months about this issue. I called vw and they in effect said nothing is being done yet. They even said no manufacturer has done a repair. Your site says 10 million cars have been fixed already. Something is certainly wrong with this lack of progress by vw, especially for this dangerous airbag problem. The federal safety agency must pressure vw to get off their asses. There is at least ignorance, but more likely lying, at all levels of vw. After 10 months I believe my car should be repaired. Just because takata is japanese and vw is german is not an acceptable excuse. Do your job!!

I haven't been able to drive the car for 1 year because the airbag is bad.(takata airbag recall) the airbag was recalled in 2/2016, and it's now 1 year later and I still have no fix for it. I refuse to put my kids in the car and I can't sell it until the recall is fixed. So I have a car that I'm still paying for and I can't drive it safely. I called vw and they couldn't offer any time frame for when it would be fixed. I need vw to buy this from me or something, because I'm losing money on a car that I can't drive and I can't sell.
