VISIBILITY/WIPER
THE HEATER WILL NOT KEEP FRONT WINDOW DEFROSTED AND CLEAR. ON COLD DAYS MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE AND DRIVE CAR SAVE. DRIVING ON VERY COLD DAYS IS DANGEROUS AS WINDOWS WILL NOT STAY DEFROSTED. HAVE HAD NEAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF REDUCED VISIBILITY.

TAKATA RECALL. MY CAR WAS IMPACTED BY THE 2/9/16 RECALL OF TAKATA AIRBAGS. WE RECEIVED A NOTICE FROM VW LAST MARCH. THE DEALER HAS REFUSED TO RETURN CALLS, PROVIDE A REPAIR DATE, OFFER A LOANER CAR UNTIL THE REPAIR COULD BE MADE, THEY ARE ALSO REFUSING TO REPLACE OR REFUND FAIR MARKET VALUE OF THE CAR. MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER IS DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD KILL HER AND NO ONE IS INTERESTED IN HELPING US OR PROVIDING A SOLUTION. AFTER WAITING 12 MONTHS FOR ANY PLAN OF ACTION FROM VW WE ARE REQUESTING HELP FROM THE NHTSA. *TR
