TAKATA RECALL >>>>>> THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF.. SAFETY!!!!!!! IT'S MY EVERYDAY CAR.... AND AM GETTING NO HELP FROM DEALER ABOUT THIS!!!!

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE SUBMITTED A REQUEST TO THE DEALER THAT I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM REQUESTING AN UPDATE FOR THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG REPAIR. TO DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A REPLY. THE DEALER IS SERRAMONTE VOLKSWAGEN, 711 SERRAMONTE BLVD., COLMA, CA 94014. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN FEBRUARY 2014 AND RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL 69M9 IN APRIL 2016 FROM VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, INC., 3800 HAMLIN ROAD, AUBURN HILLS, MI 48326. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHEN I CAN EXPECT THIS RECALL TO BE ADDRESSED.

TAKATA RECALL: THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF THE AIRBAG CONSTITUTES A LETHAL THREAT. THE VALUE OF THIS VEHICLE HAS OF COURSE PLUMMETED AS A RESULT, MAKING TRADING IT IN ECONOMICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. THE RECALL IS MORE THAN A YEAR OLD, AND THERE IS NO REMEDY IN SIGHT. VW SEEMS TO BE SIDESTEPPING RESPONSIBILITY HERE, AND TELLING CUSTOMERS "DON'T BLAME US--BLAME TAKATA." BUT TAKATA WAS VW'S SPECIFIC OEM!

TAKATA RECALL-THE RECALL ON MY CAR HAS BEEN OUT SINCE FEBRUARY OF LAST YEAR, ALMOST A YEAR NOW. ACCORDING TO VOLKSWAGEN, THEY DO NOT YET HAVE A REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE INVOLVING MY SAFETY AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE DRIVER LOST CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL AND CRASHED INTO A PARKED VEHICLE. DURING THE CRASH, THE FRONT END SUSTAINED SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE. THE AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A HEAD INJURY THAT DID NOT REQUIRE MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

TAKATA RECALL JUST READ THAT IT MAY TAKE OVER 3 MORE YEARS FOR THE FIX OF THE AIRBAGS. I PLANNED TO TRADE THIS VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ONE. NOW WAITING 3 YEARS FOR A FIX WILL LOWER THE VALUE OF MY CAR. IS THERE A SOONER TIME FRAME THEN 3 ADDITIONAL YEARS.

WHEN I GOT PASSAT SE I DID RESEARCH AND I THOUGHT IT WAS A SAFE CAR. MY FIRST PRIORITY TO LEASE A CAR WAS SAFETY. ON APRIL 2016 I GOT A LETTER FROM VW THAT AIRBAG ON FRONT IS NOT SAFE AND IT MAY CAUSES SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. IT BEEN ALMOST 10 MONTHS AND STILL THERE IS NO WORDS ON WHEN IT WILL BE FIX. WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF I GET IN ACCIDENT AND DIE? WHO WOULD FULFILL MY PLACE FOR MY KIDS? I WANT TO CHANGE THE CAR OR HAVE VW BUY MY CAR BACK. I WANT TO LIVE WITH MY FAMILY NOT DIE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED RIGHT AWAY. I GOT IN ACCIDENTAND THE FRONT AIRBAG DID NOT OPEN UP
