UNKNOWN OR OTHER
HAVE HAD ROUGHLY 7 OCCURRENCES IN THE PAST YEAR WHERE AT LOW SPEEDS IN THE CITY THE CAR WILL TURN OFF. CAR WILL NORMALLY START BACK UP ONCE IT IS PLACED IN PARK. I HAVE GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND HAD A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK WITH NO TROUBLE CODES FOUND. CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN HELP LINE LAST NIGHT AND THEY RECOMMENDED GETTING THE CAR SCANNED AGAIN FOR MORE ANALYSIS. EACH VISIT IS COSTING AROUND $99, SO RETURN TRIPS TO FIND THE ISSUE ARE NOT MONETARILY FEASIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL IN APRIL 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM VW OF THE TAKATA RECALL. IT IS NOW FEB 2017. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM ANYONE IN 10 MONTHS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I CALLED VW AND THEY IN EFFECT SAID NOTHING IS BEING DONE YET. THEY EVEN SAID NO MANUFACTURER HAS DONE A REPAIR. YOUR SITE SAYS 10 MILLION CARS HAVE BEEN FIXED ALREADY. SOMETHING IS CERTAINLY WRONG WITH THIS LACK OF PROGRESS BY VW, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS DANGEROUS AIRBAG PROBLEM. NHTSA MUST PRESSURE VW TO GET OFF THEIR ASSES. THERE IS AT LEAST IGNORANCE, BUT MORE LIKELY LYING, AT ALL LEVELS OF VW. AFTER 10 MONTHS I BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED. JUST BECAUSE TAKATA IS JAPANESE AND VW IS GERMAN IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE. DO YOUR JOB!!

MY CAR IS A 2001 MODEL, AND I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF IT HAS TAKATA AIRBAGS IN IT, EVEN IF IT ISN'T COVERED BY THE RECALL. DEALER DOESN'T KNOW IF THE AIRBAGS ARE TAKATA OR NOT. CAN YOU GIVE ME THIS INFORMATION?? I HOPE SO, OTHERWISE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIND OUT. THANKS [XXX] *DL INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).*JB

TAKATA INFLATORS I FOUND OUT TODAY AT THE VW DEALERSHIP WHERE I LEASED MY CAR THAT MY VEHICLE IS UNDER RECALL FOR TAKATA AIRBAGS. I HAVE A MONTH LEFT ON MY LEASE, AND I WAS GOING TO PURCHASE THE CAR. THE SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT " THERE ISN'T A FIX YET". WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? VW NEVER NOTIFIED ME OF THE RECALL. I AM VERY CONCERNED BECAUSE IT IS THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IN QUESTION. I AM ON THE INTERSTATES EVERY WEEK AS I AM IN SALES. WHAT RECOURSE DO I HAVE EXCEPT NOT BUY THE VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED OVER A YEAR AGO, AND IT STILL HASN'T BEEN REPLACED. VW OF AMERICA GIVES NO TIMELINE AS TO WHEN IT WILL BE REPLACED. THIS HAS GONE WAY BEYOND A REASONABLE TIME PERIOD IN WHICH THE REPLACEMENTS COULD BE OBTAINED. MY VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE CURRENTLY. VW SAYS IT'S SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT NOT SAFE TO GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT DUE TO THIS SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM.
