TAKATA RECALL RECALL WAS ISSUED FEB 2016 AS TO THIS DATE VW HAS NOT MADE ANY REPAIRS NOR DO THEY EVEN KNOW WHEN AND IF REPAIRS ARE TO BE MADE! VW DEALER HAS NO IDEA OF WHEN ANYTHING WILL BE DONE AND SAYS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO FIX AIRBAGS!

RELATED TO NHTSA ID NUMBER 10929850 WHERE VEHICLE KEEPS TRYING TO RELOCK ITSELF. DEALER SAYS THAT THE INTERNAL LATCH HAS FAILED WITHIN THE DRIVER'S DOOR. THE DOOR WILL NO LONGER LOCK. THEY WANT $426.65 TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING...SOUNDS LIKE A SAFETY DEFECT TO ME.

TAKATA RECALL I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE 2/9/2016 FOR A REPLACEMENT OF: TAKATA SDI DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG. THERE IS STILL NO DATE AS TO WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED NOR ANY INDICATION OF WHAT I CAN DO KEEP MYSELF SAFE. I DRIVE THIS CAR EVERYDAY AND NEED A FIX SOON FOR THIS.

ELECTRONIC LOCKS ARE CONSTANTLY TRYING TO RE-LOCK WHEN VEHICLE REACHES ABOUT 10 MPH. FOR EXAMPLE, IF BRINGING VEHICLE TO A STOP AT A STREET LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, THEN PROCEEDING FORWARD, THE LOCKS WILL TRY TO RE-LOCK AGAIN ONCE VEHICLE REACHES ABOUT 10 MPH. IF YOU ARE IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, THIS CAN GO ON LITERALLY HUNDREDS OF TIMES DURING A SINGLE COMMUTE.

TAKATA RECALL - STILL WAITING FOR RECALL FIX, NOTHING SINCE APRIL 2016, RIDING AROUND WITH A DEATH WISH ISN'T FUNNY.

TAKATA RECALL.....DO I HAVE TO KEEP WAITING FOR A FIX?....MY FAMILY DRIVES THIS EVERYDAY AND WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR 6 MONTHS.....CAN I RETURN THE CAR?
