TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED THIS RECALL STATING THAT MY AIR BAG, SHOULD I BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, COULD EXPLODE SENDING METAL SHRAPNEL INTO MY FACE, AND THIS RECALL HAS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE YET. I CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN ASKING FOR A RENTAL UNTIL THEY CAN REPAIR IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT SINCE NO VW OWNERS HAVE HAD ANY INJURIES THE RECALL IS VOLUNTARY. I FIND THIS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. I HAVE TO DRIVE THIS CAR EVERY DAY TO AND FROM WORK AND WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. EACH TIME I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL I RUN THE POSSIBILITY OF SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH OCCURRING IF I SHOULD HAVE A COLLISION.

BOUGHT CAR FROM ATLANTA LUXURY MOTORS OF UNION CITY GEORGIA AND THEY SAY THEY CAN SELL CAR WITH RECALLS IF THERE IS NO FIX STATUS.THE AIR BAGS SOUND AS IF THEY WANT TO JUMP OUT.

TAKATA RECALL (NHTSA:16V078) RECEIVED LETTER DATED APRIL 2016 ON THE RECALL WHICH STATED MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH O VEHICLE OCCUPANT. GIVING THIS SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES I CONTACTED VW TO REQUEST FOR AVAILABLE OPTION, 1.REPAIR DATE-NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE AS NO PARTS AVAILABLE 2. RETURN THE CAR BACK (WITH PAST ISSUES) - DENIED BY VW AS THEY STATED NATIONAL HWY TRAFFIC SAFETY DID NOT RECOMMEND TO TAKE THE PERSON OUT OF THE CAR. 3.LOANER CAR - DENIED AS NO SUCH POLICY EXIST CURRENTLY WITH VW. GIVEN THE SERIOUS HAZARD WHICH THE REASON THE RECALL WAS DONE WHICH DEEM DANGEROUS TO THE PASSENGER HOW CAN THE CAR IS ALLOWED TO BE DRIVEN FURTHER MORE WITH FAMILY/KIDS ONBOARD. CAN NHTSA OR VW GUARANTEE THAT THEY WONT BE ANY ACCIDENT OR DEATH CAUSED BY THE AIRBAG TILL THE REPAIR IS DONE? SINCE WE GET THE LETTER ME AND MY WIFE ARE WORRIED AND GETTING PANIC UNNECESSARILY THINKING IN WHAT CONDITION WILL THE AIRBAG WILL BE OUT ,BURST AND INJURE US.

TAKATA RECALL I FIND IT DEEPLY CONCERNING THAT VOLKSWAGEN WANTS ME TO DRIVE AROUND IN A LEASED VEHICLE THAT THEY FIND SO UNSAFE, THEY REFUSE TO EVEN SELL THIS VEHICLE. I RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING ME THAT SHOULD I BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY ASPECT OF THE CAR COULD ESSENTIALLY ACT AS A BOMB, BLOWING SHRAPNEL IN MY FACE. WITH NO CURRENT REPAIR SOLUTION AVAILABLE, VOLKSWAGEN REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY ALTERNATIVE PLANS TO MANAGE THIS SITUATION IN THE MEANTIME. MOST OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE BEEN PROACTIVE IN PREVENTING FURTHER INJURIES AND DEATHS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS BY PROVIDING ALTERNATE SOLUTIONS. LEFT WITH NO OTHER OPTIONS, I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND PUT MY LIFE AT RISK DUE TO VOLKSWAGEN'S NEGLIGENCE.
