2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Complaints

TAKATA RECALL- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL 2016. I WENT TO THE DEALER AT THAT TIME AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER JULY 11, 2016. I JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALER, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT AN INFLATOR RUPTURE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALER, VOLKSWAGEN OF MURRIETA (CALIFORNIA), REFUSED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR FOR USE UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL - I WANT TO BE ABLE TO EXCHANGE OUT OF MY LEASE WITH VW CREDIT INTO A NEWER 2016 VW THAT IS NOT PART OF THIS RECALL. VW IS DENYING MY REQUEST AND SAYING MY LEASE IS NOT NEGOTIABLE. HOWEVER, ON PAGE 2 UNDER EARLY TERMINATION LIABILITY", IT CLEARLY STATES I AM ABLE TO GET OUT OF MY LEASE IF THERE IS "IRREPARABLE DAMAGE" (THIS IS THE RECALL THAT HAS NO REMEDY} MY 2014 PASSAT WAS HIT ON THE 101 FREEWAY AT 55 MPH AND THANKFULLY I WAS NOT INJURED. AFTER TWO MONTHS IN THE REPAIR SHOP, THEY ALMOST TOTALED IT, BUT DID NOT. THEN, I NOTED THE RECALL AS WELL ON THE 2014 VW> I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR AND DO NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT KNOWING THE NEXT TIME I COULD DIE DUE TO AIRBAG INFLATING. PLEASE ADDRESS THIS WITH VW CREDIT AND GROUP OF AMERICA.

IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAG FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A LEASED VEHICLE AND IS CURRENTLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA. V OF A TOLD ME TO "GO AHEAD AND DRIVE THE CAR". THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TAKADA AIRBAGS HAD ISSUES BEFORE 2014, AND THE COMPANY STILL BOUGHT FROM THEM. THEY HAD TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE
