WHILE DRIVING ON THE CITY STREETS, I HEARD A POP LIKE A FUSE WENT OUT. I NOTICED MY HORN DID NOT WORK, THE FUNCTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE NOT OPERABLE AND MY AIR LIGHT CAME ON. THIS HAPPENED PRIOR ON 9/16/2014 WHICH THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED.

DEFECTIVE DOOR LATCH ASSEMBLY THAT CAUSED THE LOCKS TO INITIATE EVERY TIME THE VEHICLE PASSED 10 MPH. CAUSED THE DRIVER DOOR TO NO LONGER LOCK, AND DISENGAGED THE ALARM EVEN WHEN OTHER DOORS LOCKED.

TAKATA RECALL - RECEIVED MY LETTER OF RECALL ON TAKATA AIR BAGS IN APRIL 2016 STILL NO REPAIRS DONE, SCARY TO DRIVE A SUICIDE CAR DAY IN AND DAY OUT, I'M A WIDOW, ON A FIXED INCOME AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR, PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU...

TAKATA RECALL RECEIVED A LETTER APRIL 2016, HEARING NOW THEY ARE NOT FIXING THIS ISSUE, WHILE 16 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED OR 180 INJURED - DUE TO EXPLODING WITH SO MUCH FORCE AND SPEW SHRAPNEL INTO DRIVER AND PASSENGERS, IT'S LIKE DRIVING A SUICIDE CAR EVERY DAY, SCARY! I'M A WIDOW, ON A FIXED INCOME AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, WHICH IS ALL I RELY ON NOW TO GET AROUND.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE THE RECALL AND REPLACEMENT PART IS STILL NOT OFFERED. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY.

TAKATA RECALL IT HAS BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE BEING NOTIFIED ABOUT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL FOR OUR 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN NOTIFYING US OF AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL WAS DATED APRIL 2016. THIS SAFETY RECALL HAS AFFECTED OUR USE OF THE VEHICLE SINCE WE DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT HAS AN OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECALL. IT HAS ALSO AFFECTED RESALE OF THE VEHICLE SINCE WE DO NOT WANT TO SELL A VEHICLE THAT HAS A SAFETY ISSUE. DO WE HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN ACCIDENT, INJURY, OR EVEN DEATH BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?
