2009 VOLKSWAGEN CC Complaints

TAKATA RECALL VW IS NOT ABLE TO TELL WHEN A REPLACEMENT AIRBAG WILL BE AVAILABLE, NOR ASSIST WITH A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. THE RISKS SEEM TO BE HIGHER WITH OLDER CARS AND GIVEN THE AGE OF MY CAR THIS MATTER SHOULD BE RATED WITH URGENCY. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE THE TAKATA ISSUE WAS MADE PUBLIC AND IT'S UNACCEPTABLE FOR A CONSUMER TO DRIVE AN UNSAFE CAR FOR SUCH AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.

TAKATA RECALL. MY VEHICLE HAS RECALLED AIRBAGS, AND VOLKSWAGON CURRENTLY HAS NO SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. VOLKSWAGON SENT ME A NOTICE 6 MONTHS AGO, TELLING ME ABOUT THE DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. THERE SHOULD BE A SOLUTION AT THIS TIME.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED AN APRIL 2016 LETTER FROM VW CONCERNING THE AIRBAG RECALL OF FEBRUARY, 2016. AND, SINCE THE LETTER NOTHING HAS BEEN SCHEDULED. I HAVE NOT HEARD A WORD OR A CALL. 6-MONTHS IS A LONG TIME!!

"TAKATA RECALL" I WAS SENT A LETTER DESCRIBING THIS RECALL AND THE POTENTIAL DANGER TO MYSELF OF ANYONE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT STATED THAT IT COULD DEPLOY AT ANY TIME AND THAT THE SHARDS OF METAL FROM THE BAG COULD KILL OR DISFIGURE ME AND ALSO COULD HARM OTHER MOTORISTS. PART STILL IS NOT AVAILABLE. MY QUESTION IS SHOULD I CONTINUE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AND GAMBLE IT WONT KILL MYSELF OR OTHERS OR CAN I MAKE THEM FURNISH ME A VEHICLE UNTIL PARTS ARE AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REPAIR?

TAKATA RECALL... HOW LONG ARE WE SUPPOSE TO RIDE AROUND IN A DANGEROUS VEHICLE IN HARMS WAY. THE RECALL WENT OUT IN FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR AND HERE IT IS JULY WITH NO REMEDY. I NEED A LOANER VEHICLE OR A NEW VEHICLE FOR THIS DEATH TRAP I HAVE. I HAVE A TERRIBLE GAS LEAK IN MY FUEL LINE. THE GAS SMELL HAS MOVED INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND NO ONE CAN WITHSTAND IT. NOT ONLY IS THE SMELL EXTREMELY STRONG, BUT THE GAS LEAK IS EVEN MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE FAULTY AIRBAGS. INSURANCE COMPANIES TOTAL VEHICLES WHEN AIRBAGS DEPLOY, BUT VOLKSWAGEN THINKS IT'S OKAY FOR US TO RIDE AROUND IN VEHICLES WITH FAULTY, LIFE THREATENING AIRBAGS AND FAULTY FUEL LINES. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON SO MANY LEVELS AND SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE AND BE DONE IMMEDIATELY.

TAKATA RECALL---RECEIVED LETTER STATING THAT THE AIRBAG IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT MAY INFLATE DURING AN ACCIDENT MAY THROW OUT SHARP, STEEL PIECES OF METAL WHEN IT INFLATES. SAID IT WAS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. NO ACCIDENT HAS HAPPENED AS YOUR LETTER ADVISED THAT IT IS TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. THIS IS COSTING ME A LOT OF MONEY AND I WANT SOMETHING DONE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!! IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE I WAS NOTIFIED AND THIS CAR IS VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR DAILY LIVES. NO INFORMATION HAS COME TO US REGARDING THIS AIR BAG ISSUE. I HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TIED UP IN THIS CAR AND IT HAS BEEN MONTHS SINCE WE WERE NOTIFIED. I WANT SOMEONE TO CALL ME AT [XXX] OR MAIL TO [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

I HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY CAN NOT REPLACE IT, NO REPLACEMENT PARTS. I WANT A RENTAL CAR UNTIL IT IS FIXED. MY LIFE IS IN JEOPARDY WHEN I DRIVE, NOT A GREAT FEELING.
