TAKATA RECALL NO SOLUTION TO REMEDY THE POSSIBILITY OF KILLING MY CHILD IN A CRASH. WE CANNOT DRIVE THE CAR WITH OUR CHILD FULL KNOWING OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN. VW HAS DONE NOTHING. AND NOTHING IN SIGHT. WE ARE VERY UPSET THERE ARE NO ANSWERS. WE KNEW OF THE RECALL SINCE 6/16. WE JUST TOOK CAR IN FOR A SERVICE AND LEARNED THE SEVERITY OF IT ALL. WE DECIDED WE WANT OUT OF THE CAR. THE VW DEALER WE BOUGHT THE CAR FROM WOULD NOT OFFER US ANYTHING BUT AUCTION PRICE FOR OUR CAR AS THEY CANNOT EVEN RESELL IT!! WE CANNOT AFFORD TO BUY A NEW CAR WITH NEGATIVE EQUITY ON A CAR THAT HAS BEEN RECALLED BUT THEY CAN'T FIX IT!! WE ARE VERY VERY UPSET AND NOW WE ARE PLAYING RUSSIAN ROULETTE WITH OUR LIVES. WE BOUGHT THE CAR FOR ITS SAFETY RATING AND NOW IT'S POTENTIALLY THE CARS SAFETY FEATURES THAT COULD KILL MY FAMILY. TAKATA AND VW NEED TO FIGURE THIS OUT AND NOW!!!

TAKATA RECALL. THIS RECALL IS FAR TOO SLOW. IT IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ITEM, AND IT IS MORE THAN A YEAR THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN WELL KNOW. NHTSA MUST COMPEL TAKATA AND THE CAR MANUFACTURERS TO INCREASE PRODUCTION OR OUTSOURCING OF THE DEFECTIVE PARTS. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT PRODUCTION COULD HAVE BEEN INCREASED LONG AGO IF THE PARTS WERE BEING SOLD AT A PROFIT. THIS IS SHAMEFUL ON THE PART OF NHTSA, TAKATA AND THE AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURERS.

TAKATA RECALL I AM A 21 YEAR OLD FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENT IN TALLAHASSEE, FL. MY PARENTS AND I CHOSE A 2006 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT TO BE A SAFE CAR FOR ME AFTER AN ACCIDENT, WHERE MY PREVIOUS CAR(VW JETTA) WAS TOTALED. THEN TO FIND OUT A LITTLE UNDER A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR THAT THE AIRBAGS HAVE A RECALL I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY REGRETFUL OF THIS DECISION. SINCE THAT DAY I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR TO DRIVE MY CAR EACH TIME I GET INTO IT I THINK OF HOW RISKY IT IS TO DRIVE EACH TIME. I HAVE HEARD STORIES OF DRIVERS THROATS BEING SLIT BY THE UNSAFE METAL SHARDS THAT DEPLOY WITH THE RECALLED AIRBAGS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THERE IS STILL NOT A FIX OR MEANS FOR DRIVERS TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS SAFE. I THINK THAT IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND TOO RISKY TO HAVE ONE OF THE MAIN SAFETY MECHANISM IN CAR TO BE A THREAT TO DRIVERS AS WELL. WHEN THERE ARE RECALLS ON TOYS PEOPLE ARE INSTRUCTED TO IMMEDIATELY RETURN THEM TO THE STORE OR AT LEAST THROW THEM AWAY AND KEEP THE TOYS AWAY FROM THEIR CHILDREN. NOW THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS IN A CAR AND NOT HIS HAS BEEN DONE. PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY LOST THEIR LIVES AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY AIR BAGS AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I AM WRITING TO HOPEFULLY GET A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE.
