PARTS NOT AVAILABLE AFTER MONTHS WITH NO TIMELINE, I AM UNABLE TO LEGALLY SELL THIS CAR. I WOULD LIKE VW TO REPURCHASE THE VEHICLE

THE FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATORS MAY RELEASE DEADLY METAL FRAGMENTS WHEN DEPLOYED. RECALL ISSUED LAST FEBRUARY 2016, BUT 9 MONTHS LATER, THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY FOR THIS TICKING BOMB.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V079000 (AIR BAGS). THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED TO SCHEDULE A REPAIR, BUT THEY INDICATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT YET SUPPLIED THE PARTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO INDICATE A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SUPPLY THE PART TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM OUR LOCAL DEALER REGARDING A TIME SCHEDULE AS TO WHEN THE AIRBAGS WILL BE REPLACED EVEN AFTER REPEATED CALLS. WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH REGARD TO THIS RECALL AND REQUIRING THE VENDOR TO PROVIDE A TIMELINE?

TAKATA RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTION TO REMEDY THE AIRBAG TO DATE. THERE IS NO WAY POSSIBLE TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR WHILE WAITING. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME RESOLOTION ON THIS MATTER. RENTAL OR REPAIR.

TAKATA RECALL WE WERE FIRST NOTIFIED IN APRIL 2016 THAT THE TAKATA AIRBAGS IN OUR 2007 VW PASSATT "COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE...METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO THE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS." FOUR MONTHS HAVE PASSED AND STILL THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. IT IS NOT REASONABLE THAT VOLKSWAGEN DOES NOT ISSUE AN UPDATE AS TO WHEN THE REMEDY MAY BECOME AVAILABLE. CONSEQUENTLY, WE LIVE IN DAILY FEAR OF A POSSIBLE DEATH BY AIRBAG MALFUNCTION. TODAY'S NY TIMES HAS A FRONT PAGE ARTICLE DETAILING THE MONEY-BASED WRONG DECISIONS OF GM TO BUY THE TAKATA PRODUCT WHEN EXPERTS IN THE FIELD TESTIFY THAT THE AMMONIUM NITRATE USED IN THE DEVICES IS UNSTABLE OVER TIME. DEATHS AND INJURIES HAVE RESULTED. WHEN WILL WE KNOW ABOUT THE AVAILABILITY OF THE REPLACEMENT PARTS?

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT NIGHT WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. TOOK VEHICLE TO VOLKSWAGEN DEALER TO FIX PROBLEM THE NEXT DAY. THE DEALER TOLD ME THE INSULATION CAME OFF THE WIRES INSIDE THE DRIVER HEAD LIGHT ASSEMBLY. THE 2 EXPOSED WIRES TOUCHED AND SHORTED OUT THE CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE HAD TO HAVE A HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY 3C0-941-005-AE AND CONTROL MODULE 3C8-937-049-AC REPLACED FOR THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT TO WORK.
