2012 Volkswagen Passat airbags complaints

Takata recall trying to sell our volkswagon passat 2012 at our local chevy dealer on 8/22/2016. Was notified by chevy dealer that the airbags are on recall. We had no idea our airbags were not safe and under a recall. We were told they can not re-sell this car and we basically can only receive wholesale value for it. We were never notified by volkswagon that we had a recall. Called local volkswagon dealership and they cant replace because none are available. This is not acceptable!! This car is not safe. We need to get the bags replaced or volkswagon should provide a safe car for us to use until they can replace the bags.
Takata recall: vw could care less if I get killed. My lease is up in oct 2016 and they still won't fix this airbag but doesn't mind me driving a product that is unsafe. Execute the corporate heads so that others get the message.
Takata recall. I've known about the recall since february 2016. It is now august. The dealership will not give me a loner. My wife and I don't fell safe driving the car.

Takata recall. Recently I submitted a request for reimbursement for funds related to the airbag recall. The request was turned down by vw. They stated that there have been no incidents of airbag failures and said replacing the airbags will be precautionary. Obviously they don't feel they need to be "timely" about this. I feel they are just stalling. I did spend $726.40 on an auto train when I first heard about the recall because I was afraid to drive the car. I feel vw has no intention to repair the car.

Takata recall spoke with vw customer advocate asked for a loaner vehicle and was refused. Was unable to provide any info when and if parts will be available.
Safety recall 69m9 the federal safety agency 16v078 repair not yet available. Should I wait till I get disfigured or die from the explosion to sue vw. This is so much more urgent than air polution forgery case. I live in ca where it gets very hot. Should I get airbag removed to avoid risk of explosion. I purchased this car used a year ago.

Takata recall...vw says they don't have the part to fix this but they want to get paid on their lease but the car is not safe to drive. Why can't you get them to fix this, my lease will be over before when I won't have to worry about this but someone else will.
Airbag light on , check engine light on.
Takata recall I am in upper management with enterprise rent a car and I have personally worked with hundreds of people who are dropping their cars off at the honda dealerships because they are unsafe to drive. I have listened to the stories of the 12+ deaths that have occurred from these airbags from the mouths of people who are so thankful to get a safe rental car until their car can be fixed. I have spoken with gm's at the dealerships about this recall and I truly understand the scope and the seriousness of this situation. You can imagine how shocked I was to find out that not only was my wife's vw a part of the takata recall but that vw was not providing loaner cars for their customers with effected vehicles. I essentially received a letter in the mail that said "your car has a grenade in the steering wheel that could kill you. We currently don't have a way to fix this but we will let you know when we do. Keep driving until you hear from us." when I called vw customer service to find out how on earth they could justify not providing safe transportation like the other auto manufacturers were I was told that no one has died in a vw yet, they have all been hondas. Essentially they are waiting for someone to die before they bite the bullet and foot the bill for safe replacements? I think it's clear that vw is rolling the dice and trying to avoid another massive expenditure while it's still reeling financially from its emissions scandal.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen passat. While driving 5 MPH, the air bag warning light illuminated. The contact stated that the vehicle was serviced under the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v483000 (air bags), but the remedy for the recall failed to repair the vehicle. The contact mentioned that the air bag warning light illuminated after the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and was willing to repair the vehicle. The failure mileage was 41,500.
Takata recall a couple months ago I had recall 15v483000 completed on my 2012 passat. I was experiencing electrical issues such as cruise control not working, wipers turning on for no reason. It seemed to be connected to the steering column since both of these features are connected to the steering column. After the recall was completed no further issues until today. I made a u-turn and my airbag light came on and hasn't went off sense. I'm concerned after reading about shrapnel and airbag deployment.

Takata recall- my husband and I took our vw passat that has an emissions recall and takata recall and they said that the manufacture doesn't think that this is a big deal. The manufacture refuses to provide a loaner for our vehicle. They said that it is perfectly safe to drive. How can some manufactures put other customers in loaners because of the same recall and tell them not to drive and others say its not a big deal. I do not trust volkswagen since we were also affected by their emissions recall. Can you please clarify and what the next step should be. We did have an appointment to get all recalls on this vehicle addressed and to get parts ordered. At this point recall notices are like monthly statements.

Takata recall I am filing a complaint based off of a recall notice that I received from volkswagen. The recall # is 69m9. The letter states that metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. However, at this time they are not repairing the recalled vehicles until enough repair parts are produced. Volkswagen refuses to provide me in writing that my car is "safe" to drive.

Tl* the contact owns a 2012 volkswagen passat.

Takata air bags I just want to know how in the crap the vw people can get away with recalling these cars for faulty equipment that can cause "serious injury or death to occupants" and be so [xxx]irresponsible with the lives of others. There is not time table for repairs so we don't know how long we will be subjected to "serious injury or death". Someone in our government should step up and defend us from these money hungry jerks. Why issue the recall if they are not able to make repairs. I talked with a vw "customer care" representative and he told me my vehicle was perfectly safe to drive yet I have been "warned" a malfunction could lead to "serious injury or death". What are those of us who need our cars to survive to do? Vw offers no loaner car or rental assistance. I think this is crap and if I die because of some defective foreign part I hope someone in charge takes notice so others will not.
