TAKATA RECALL - STILL WAITING ON VW TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO JUST CONTINUE ON DRIVING AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT, THAT THEY WILL GET TO ME WHEN THEY GET TO ME. IT IS NOW OVER A FULL YEAR LATER AND NO SOLUTION.

SUDDEN ENGINE HIGH VIBRATION WHILES DRIVING AND EVENTUALLY ENGINE AND BATTERY FAILURE AT THE SAME TIME AND DAY. VW TECHNICIANS IDENTIFIED PIECES OF METAL FROM ENGINE IN OIL FILTER. LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ELSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. NOTE: CAR IS TAKEN CARE OF WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE USING VW SERVICE

VW IS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE RECALL, AND I AM CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH THE RECALL, BUT WE ARE GOING INTO A YEAR NOW. I HAVE PUT OFF MAKING ROAD TRIPS IN MY CAR AND THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE'S DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS PART OF THE RECALL. I CONTACTED A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE UNTIL I RECEIVE THE OFFICIAL LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN. THEY ALSO STATED THAT GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HOW MANY VEHICLES NEED AIRBAGS REPLACED, THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY ARE FIXING VEHICLES IN HIGH PRIORITY ZONES FIRST. HOWEVER, JUST LAST MONTH GOT AROUND TO SENDING OUT LETTERS TO ALLOW VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED A YEAR AGO. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY REGISTERED IN A LOW PRIORITY ZONE. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IT WAS PURCHASED IN A HIGH PRIORITY ZONE AND WAS DRIVEN THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I CAN NOT TURN THIS CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR A DEALER TRADE IN AS DEALERSHIPS DO NOT ACCEPT VEHICLES WITH RECALLS. I CAN SELL IT IN THE STATE OF CO INDEPENDENTLY, HOWEVER, WHO WOULD WANT TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE WITH A RECALL ON IT, THAT HAS NO TIMELINE AVAILABLE AS TO WHEN IT CAN BE FIXED. I FEEL EXTREMELY NERVOUS WITH MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HARM OR WORSE KILL HER. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT VOLKSWAGEN CAN NOT EVEN PROVIDE US WITH A DATE IN THE FUTURE THAT THEY CAN FIX THE CAR. I CAN'T EVEN TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A TRADE IN BECAUSE DEALERSHIPS WON'T TAKE CARS THAT HAVE RECALLS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED,
