TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL IS DRAGGING ON FOREVER. I CAN'T SELL MY CAR, NOBODY WANTS IT WITH THIS RECALL. MY TEENAGE SON DRIVES IT EVERY DAY AND I'M SCARED TO DEATH THAT HE MIGHT HAVE AN ACCIDENT ONE DAY AND BE KILLED BY THE AIRBAG MEANT TO KEEP HIM SAFE. THEY NEED TO FIX MY CAR OR GIVE ME A NEW ONE TO REPLACE IT!

THE DEALER SOLD ME THIS CAR SAYING THERE WAS NO REMEDY FOR THE AIRBAG PROBLEM. I SIGNED A WAIVER BUT FEEL THAT I WASN'T FULLY INFORMED OF THE DANGER, AND WOULD LIKE TO DEALER TO TAKE THE CAR BACK OR GIVE ME FULL VALUE FOR AN EXCHANGE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL 2016 FOR TAKATA AIRBAG. I CALLED TWICE AND VISITED THE LOCAL VOLKSWAGEN DEALER BUT NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR. LOCAL DEALERSHIP CLAIM THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY STOCK FOR VOLKWAGEN SINCE THE APRIL NOTICE. PLEASE BE ADVISED.

I HAVE A 2012 VW PASSAT TDI VEHICLE WITH 78,000 MILES AS OF OCTOBER 124, 2016. IT IS EFFECTED BY THE TDI EMISSIONS ISSUE AND QUALIFIES UNDER THE COURT SETTLEMENT THAT HAS YET TO BE APPROVED. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ABOUT 1 MONTH AGO BECAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS TOLD THAT THE AD BLUE HEATER WHICH SCRUBS NOX (ALBEIT NOT VERY WELL) FROM THE EXHAUST NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $1,100.00. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND CAME TO FIND OUT THAT APPARENTLY THIS HAS HAPPENED HUNDREDS OF TIMES TO TDI OWNERS ESPECIALLY 2012 MODELS. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THE FAILURE IS A FUNCTION OF TIME NOT MILEAGE AND HAS BEEN CORRECTED IN NEWER MODELS. IT IS IRONIC THAT EVEN AFTER PAYING THE $1,100 MY CAR IS STILL OUT OF EMISSIONS COMPLIANCE! I REQUEST THAT VW BE FORCED TO DO A RECALL AND REIMBURSE OWNERS REGARDLESS OF THE VEHICLES MILEAGE FOR THIS REPAIR.
