"TAKATA RECALL" THE RECALL WAS POSTED LAST YEAR IN FEB 2016 AND NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. WHAT IS VW WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO DIE? WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED? IN THE MEANTIME I AM DRIVING AROUND IN WITH A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP ME SAFE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
BATTERY GROUND CABLE IS MARKED RED INSTEAD OF BLACK. THE NEW BATTERY WAS HOOKED UP WITH THE RED TO THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL AND BLEW THE MAIN FUSE AND RUINED THE AMPLIFIER TO THE SOUND SYSTEM. THE BATTERY WAS STATIONARY IN SEARS ROEBUCK SHOP AS THE BATTERY WAS BEING REPLACED BY A MECHANIC. THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP SO I HAVE NO PICTURES AS YET. THIS COULD PRODUCE SERIOUS PHYSICAL DAMAGE IF THE BATTERY SHOULD BLOW UP BECAUSE OF THIS WIRING. REPORTED TO VW ON JANUARY 20, 2017.

WHY, NEATLY A YEAR LATER IS THERE NO FIX AVAILABLE FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG ISSUE? WHILE THANKFULLY WE'VE NOT BEEN DIRECTLY AFFECTED, IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO BE SUBJECTED TO THIS RISK 11 MONTHS AFTER DISCOVERY OF DEFECT. PLEASE PUT PRESSURE ON VW AND TAKATA TO BRING A RESOLUTION QUICKLY.

ENGINE
VEHICLE STARTED ROUGH AND WAS VIBRATING. SHUT OFF AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART. TOWED TO DEALER WHO INFORMED THAT AN INTERNAL FAILURE OCCURRED CAUSING THE TIMING CHAIN TO SLIP AND THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT, "THESE THINGS JUST HAPPEN SOMETIMES". HOWEVER, AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING AND REPEATED ISSUED FOR MANY VW AND AUDIT OWNERS AND THAT THERE ARE THREE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS FILED FOR TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER PROBLEMS. VW OF AMERICA WAS NOT HELPFUL. WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER BE OUT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR ENGINE REPLACEMENT FOR WHAT SHOULD BE A KNOWN DEFECT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 105,000 MILES.

TAKATA RECALL - VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2012 - DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THIS AIRBAG RECALL DEFECT HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING ALMOST A YEAR, AND 11 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THIS IN OTHER CARS, AND VOLKSWAGEN WILL NOT FIX IT OR OFFER A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR, NOR WILL THEY OFFER A BUY BACK TO ME TO HELP ME AVOID THE RISK OF DEATH WHICH COULD BE CAUSED BY THIS DEFECTIVE RECALLED AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE VOLKSWAGEN PAY ME BACK THE MONEY I SPENT ON THIS CAR, SINCE THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT AND DO NOT OFFER ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, AND MY RESELL VALUE OF THIS CAR IS ALSO REDUCED BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO BUY A CAR WITH A RECALL THAT CAN KILL YOU THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I CALLED VW CORPORATE FOR HELP, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING, AND THAT I SHOULD STAY IN THE VEHICLE AND KEEP DRIVING IT DESPITE THE RISK OF DEATH. I WANT THIS FIXED, OR A LOANER/RENTAL CAR TO BE PROVIDED TO ME AT NO COST BY VOLKSWAGEN SO I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE RISKING DEATH, OR I WANT VOLKSWAGEN TO BUY BACK MY CAR FOR FULL PRICE BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT! *TR
