2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

TAKATA RECALL THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL. I CANNOT SELL MY CAR UNLESS THIS IS FIXED! I AM STUCK WITH A DANGEROUS CAR.

I WENT TO HAVE AN APPRAISAL DONE ON MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS DEFECTED, AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD CAUSE HARM TO ME. (IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.) *TR

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ALMOST A YEAR AGO AND THE COMPANY HAS NOT SENT ME ANY INFORMATION ABOUT FIXING THIS DANGEROUS AIRBAG ISSUE. I STOPPED BY A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY FIX COMING SOON. I THINK A YEAR SEEMS LIKE A VERY LONG TIME TO BE DRIVING ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS THAT HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WHICH COULD ENDANGER ONE'S LIFE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? *TR

ONE OF THE ACTUATORS IN THE HVAC SYSTEM PREMATURELY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE RECIRCULATION ACTUATOR. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO PROPERLY DEFROST, CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS VISIBILITY THROUGH THE FOGGED WINDSCREEN WAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ACTUATOR (AT MY EXPENSE) AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. AN ACTUATOR SHOULD NOT BE FAILING THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFETIME. I, THE USER, DID NOT DO SOMETHING SPECIAL TO CAUSE THIS TO OCCUR. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG TAKATA SDI INFLATORS - NO REMEDY AVAILABLE NO REMEDY OR REPAIR YET AVAILABLE. THIS RECALL HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE FEBRUARY 2016, BUT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AVAILABLE? I BELIEVE ITS NOW WELL PAST A TIMELY MANNER. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR.

TAKATA RECALL- WAS NOTIFIED 4/16. STILL NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. NOW AIRBAG CAUSING A MALFUNCTION AND DON'T HAVE FRONT PASSANGER AIRBAG TOO OR HORN BECAUSE OF IT. VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE FIX?
