"TAKATA RECALL". I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS I DO NOT HAVE EXTRA CARS LAYING AROUND. MY SON DRIVES THIS CAR. IT IS VERY SCARY TO ME THAT VW HAS HAD NO RECALLS DONE, WHY? OTHER MODELS HAVE HAD SOME CARS REPAIRED. I AM UNSURE OF THE DIFFICULTY WITH VW AND WHY THEY HAVE NOT HAD THEIR DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS FIXED. THERE IS NO TIMELINE ONLY A SUGGESTION TO "DRIVE THE CARE IMPACTED LESS FREQUENTLY". DOES VW OR TAKATA THINK EVERYONE JUST USES A CAR FOR EXTRA OR FUN. IF I HAD THAT KIND OF CAR, A FOR FUN CAR, IT WOULD NOT BE A VW PASSAT. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT WAS PRACTICAL AND SAFE. NOW I HAVE TO WORRY IF MY AIRBAG GOES OFF IT COULD KILL MYSELF, MY HUSBAND OR MY SON. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT WE ARE TOLD TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR SO MUCH AND THAT THEY CAN DO NOTHING BUT BY THE WAY... YOU COULD BE KILLED. IT IS STRESSFUL THAT YOU CANNOT SELL THIS CAR TO BE RID OF IT BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL. WHAT CAN YOU DO? WHEN WILL VOLKSWAGEN HAVE A FIX, WHY ARE THEY NOT FIXING ANY AIRBAGS YET? WE WERE NOTIFIED IN APRIL 2016 AND IT IS SIX MONTH LATER WITH NO UPDATE NOTHING.

A RECALL FOR THE FRONT DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL WAS POSTED ON FEBRUARY OF 2016 HAS THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY AS OF NOW. DUE TO THIS I AM NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN A CITY INSPECTION REQUIRED FOR MY VEHICLE WHICH IN TURN I AM NOT ABLE TO WORK. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE VW DEALER TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS FIXED PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. I AM REQUESTING A REMEDY FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE IMMEDIATELY OR THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
REDUCTIVE AGENT HEATING ELEMENT AND/OR LEVEL SENSOR FAILED. CAR HAS LESS THAN 32,000 MILES ON IT. THE REPAIR WAS COVERED UNDER OUR CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED WARRANTY, BUT I SEE THAT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PART FAILURE, SO I WANT TO REPORT IT.

TAKATA INFLATORS DESPITE THE FACT THAT I RECEIVED A NOTICE REGARDING THIS RECALL MONTHS AGO, THERE IS STILL NO AVAILABLE RESOLUTION. I FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE, VULNERABLE AND UNSAFE EVERY TIME I GET IN MY CAR. I DO NOT ALLOW PASSENGERS IN MY CAR DUE TO THIS ISSUE. ASIDE FROM THE UNEASINESS I CONTINUALLY FEEL, THIS HAS CREATED MUCH INCONVENIENCE.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2013 VW PASSAT TDI. MY CAR HAS ABOUT 35000 MILES AND HAS BEEN OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. A FEW WEEKS BACK I NOTICED THE ENGINE LIGHT OF THE VEHICLE COMES ON AND OFF, AND LAST WEEK I TOOK THE CAR TO THE VW DEALER FOR A SERVICE WHERE I WAS ADVISED BY THE DEALER THAT THE AD BLUE HEATER COMPONENT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THE COST INCLUDING THE PARTS AND LABOR WOULD BE AROUND A $1000.00 I THEN DID SOME RESEARCH AND LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VW TDI MODELS WHERE THE SAME COMPONENT GOES BAD AROUND 40000 MILES OR 4 YEARS. I CALLED THE VW CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE I WAS FACING AND SOUGHT HELP TO REPLACE THE PART, AND I WAS TOLD BY THE VW CUSTOMER SERVICE SINCE THE CAR WAS OUT OF THE WARRANTY PERIOD, VW WILL NOT HELP AND I HAD TO PAY THE EXPENSE OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS YET ANOTHER PROBLEM WITH THE VW TDI MODEL ON TOP OF ALL OTHER SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT ISSUES THESE MODELS HAVE AND VW REFUSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM. THE VOLKSWAGEN EMISSIONS SCANDAL AND ALL OTHER SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES ARE BAD ENOUGH, AND NOW VW IS NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THE WEAK COMPONENTS USED IN THE TDI MODELS AND EXPECT THE CONSUMER TO TAKE THE HEAVY BURDEN OF PAYING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS. I FEEL THE GOVERNMENT AGENCIES NEED TO STEP IN AND HELP THE CONSUMER AGAINST COMPANIES LIKE THIS AND FORCE THEM TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
