Takata recall. I was received a letter in the mail stating my vehicle was involved in the airbag recall. I contacted my dealer (crain vw of fayetteville) and was told that at this time they could not complete the air bag recall. I called several months later and was told the same thing with an added joke of not to be involved in a crash. Now it is a year and 3 months and I still have not received a new air bag for my vehicle and do not expect to receive one in the near future from what I have seen and read regarding the recall. This is an unacceptable problem that needs to be fixed as soon as possible.

I purchased my car in 2014. I started having issues with the car as soon as I bought it. I started hearing a metal noise and I took it 3 times to the dealer and they could not find anything, then I had a problem with the A/C supposedly they fixed. During this time the car was still under warranty. Since 2015 I been receiving by mail a recall (safety recall 69m9) every time I contact the dealer they always say the don't have the air bag in stock. Has been 2 years since I received the first letter and they still have not received the air bags, and for this reason they have been unable to service my car. I feel very unsafe! Driving the car like this! Now in 2017 another problem arise, when I am driving the car suddenly brakes / stops. ( feels like it is going to turned off on the middle of the road) the epc light comes on. This is the 4th time in happens while driving. For example the first 3 times I was driving at 40 miles per hour and the car starting shaking and the speed decreased down to 20 miles, I tried to accelerate and the car didn't response. I had to pull over and turn off the car. I can definitely tell is getting worst! It happened again yesterday and was worst, I was driving at 30 miles per hour and I came to a stop as soon as I brake , the epc light came on and the car will not accelerate. The car behind me almost hit me, I could be dead! How is possible that a 2013 car has some many problems/?? Is only 4 years old and has more issues than an older car. I don't feel safe driving this car. It stops suddenly while driving and it won't accelerate. I have to pull out turn off the car wait and turn it back on. What about if I'm driving in an express way?? And the car stops suddenly? Someone will crash into me! And we both could die!

My wife was driving car makes a turn and hears a noise in steering wheel. The drivers side air bag light comes on. Upon further investigation the steering wheel electric controls also do not work. Online research shows voluntary recall by vw for certain 2010- 2014 passats for clock spring. Bring to local mechanic who tells me clock spring is bad and I should bring it to vw for repairunder recall. Call my dealer in riverhead ny who informs me that even though the passat is in recall range the VIN is not part of recall at this time.vw has recall for 420,000 cars for clock spring but for some reason mine is not included and I will have to pay 400.00 for repair. Recall needs to be expanded.
Takata recall. My airbag inflator has not been replaced in over a year-and-a-half since the recall started. Every time I call volkswagen they tell me there's no fix available. I live in arizona where it's hot and dry can't trade in my car cause the trade in value has plummeted do to safety concerns and non drivability.
"takata recall" I have received a safety recall letter about (the federal safety agency 16v078) for my vw passat 2013. The letter emphasizes that I should "not delay in having this recall repair performed". I have scheduled a visit to vw dealer in arlington tx "hiley volkswagen arlington" through their website http://www.hileyvw.com/ for 04/20/2017 09:30 am. I however got a phone call from the dealer (a representative named huma) today (04/19/2017). She said that they do not have the part to do the replacement. She said vw only sends them parts once a week and they do not have enough to get my vehicle serviced tomorrow. She said she would call me on friday to let me know when I should take the car to the dealer for repair. I am disturbed that they delay the repair of my car while the recall letter says that it should be done right away because, if not, it "may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants."

My lease is ending in may 2017. I have paid into this car for four years and planned to buy the residuary. I spoke with the local vw dealership and they won't do anything here in charleston, sc. I am concerned because I am in a hot and humid region and it makes my airbag even more of a danger!! I spoke with vw credit and they say they can sell me the residuary but will not provide a credit or anything else. I will just need to drive the defective car. I spoke with vw's national customer care and they just fed the bs that they won't do anything because they are following the rules. They will not act to protect consumers unless forced through a lawsuit or forced by a regulatory agency like the federal safety agency. It is negligent and irresponsible of vw to place blame on every but themselves. My partner and I have been with vw for almost 15 years but unless vw makes this right and either provides a safer car, fixes the airbag, or provides some sort of credit or incentive to me, vw will lose a customer. I will give my money to another car dealership.
