2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM THE STATE OF TEXAS OR VOLKSWAGON CONCERNING THE DRIVER TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. I DISCOVERED THE RECALL BY RESEARCHING ONLINE. I CALLED VOLKSWAGON OF AMERICA AT 1-800-822-8987. CASE # 170074388. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL EXISTS. THE TOOK MY INFORMATION. I ASKED FOR A REMEDY. THE RECALL FIX IS NOT AVAILABLE. I ASKED FOR MY OTHER LEGAL REMEDIES CONSIDERING THE RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE FEBRUARY 2, 2016. I ASKED FOR THE AIRBAG TO BE DISMANTLED AT THE DEALERSHIP OR TO RECEIVE A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. A RENTAL/REPLACEMENT VEHICLE WAS DENIED. I DID NOT ASK FOR A REFUND AS YET. I WOULD LIKE ASSISTANCE WITH ASSERTING MY LEGAL RIGHTS TO DRIVE A SAFE VEHICLE. THE PREFERRED REMEDY IS A RENTAL CAR UNTIL THE RECALL FIX IS READY OR A REFUND. BASICALLY VW AMERICA SAID GOOD LUCK- WE WILL CONTACT YOU WHEN THERE IS A FIX.

TAKATA RECALL. APPARENTLY MY CAR HAS HAD THIS RECALL FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND IT REALLY BOTHERS ME THAT VOLKSWAGEN NEVER BOTHERED TO NOTIFY ME. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH MY FAMILY AND I WOULD HAVE REPLACED THIS CAR MONTHS AGO HAD I KNOWN. I THOUGHT THEY HAD 60 DAYS TO NOTIFY US? *TR

THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25MPH AND THEN WOULD NOT START. UPON INSPECTION, VW INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE METAL FLAKES IN THE FUEL SYSTEM REQUIRING A COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL SYSTEM AT A COST OF $7500. *TR
