TAKATA RECALL. ALTHOUGH I RECEIVED THE VW RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL, 2016, THEY STILL CLAIM THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS TO FIX THIS RECALL, AND WILL NOT GIVE ME A DATE WHEN I CAN EXPECT THIS RECALL TO BE FIXED. SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, THE LACK OF RESPONSE BY VW IS VERY CONCERNING TO US.

TAKATA RECALL TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, ON APRIL 2016, I RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN REGARDING THE SAFETY RECALL 69M9-TAKATA SDI DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG. I CALLED MY LOCAL VOLKSWAGEN DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. ON MAY 6, 2016, I CALLED YOUR CUSTOMER CARE TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN REGARDING THIS ISSUE. TODAY IS JUNE 20, 2016 AND STILL DO NOT HAVE A LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN TO FIX MY RECALL. I AM VERY CONCERN, SCARED AND STRESSED ABOUT THIS SAFETY RECALL. AS IT WAS MENTIONED IN THE LETTER, 'TAKATA HAS REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS.' I HAVE ALSO READ AN EVENT WHERE A FATALITY ACCIDENT OF A YOUNG LADY FROM THIS TAKATA AIRBAG. I AM SCARED FOR MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN WHEN I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER WHO PURCHASE THIS VOLKSWAGEN KNOWING AND TRUSTING THE NAME OF THE QUALITY OF THIS VEHICLE, BUT NOW I WORRY. I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE EVERY DAY. I ONLY ASK IS TO FIX THIS RECALL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. IF THE PARTS IS TRULY NOT READY, AT LEAST PROVIDE US A RENTAL CAR WHILE WAITING FOR IT TO BE FIXED.

SERVICE BRAKES
PROBLEMS WITH THE ABS CONTROL UNIT FAILS AFTER FEW YEARS. THIS COULD LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT SINCE THE CAR CANNOT STOP IN THE TIME & DISTANCE ORIGINALLY SPECIFIED WHEN CAR WAS PURCHASED. ALSO, THE SMOG STATIONS ARE NOT ABLE TO READ THE OBD2 CONNECTOR DUE TO THIS ISSUE, WHICH FORCES YOU TO BUY A NEW MODULE FOR ALMOST $600.00. THE MOST IMPORTANT IN THIS ISSUE IS THE SAFETY IN STOPPING AND NOT HAVING YOUR BRAKES LOCK, WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE CAR TO SKID IN SUDDEN STOPS AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS A BLINKING WARNING LIGHT THAT COMES ON THE DASHBOARD THAT POINTS TO THE DASHBOARD.
