TAMARA RECALL THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL INCLUDE SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL ON 6/19/17 BY A SERVICEMAN AT A DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOTPREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAV RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2/2016. I HAVE SINCE MADE THE DECISION TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE FROM A LEASE. INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL MAY HAVE IMPACTED MY DECISION TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. REGARDLESS, I BELIEVE THE ASSOCIATED RISKS ARE SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT AN OPEN RECALL FOR 17 + MONTHS IS DANGEROUS AND SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE.

I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO GET THE SPRING WIRE REPLACED BACK WHEN THE RECALL CAME OUT. I WASNT HAVING ANY TROUBLE WITH IT THEN. THEY FIXED IT WITH WHAT I ASSUME WAS A FAULTY SPRING WIRE. SO NOW ALL MY COMPONENTS ON MY STEERING WHEEL DO NOT WORK, MY HORN DOES NOT WORK AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON WITH IT READING AIRBAG ERROR. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP AND IT SAYS FAULTY SPRING WIRE, WHICH IS WEIRD BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY REPLACED IT WITH A GOOD PART AND NOW BECAUSE IVE ALREADY GOTTEN THE RECAL DONE THEY WONT DO IT AGAIN UNDER RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL MORE THAN A YEAR AGO BUT IN NUMEROUS CALLS TO VW SERVICE THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY CAR & THAT IT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA. NOW VW SERVICE DEALERSHIP IN SALINAS SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR EVEN THOUGH WWW.SAFERGOV STILL SHOWS AN INCOMPLETE RECALL. NOW MY HORN STOPPED WORKING,THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS LIT ON THE DASHBOARD AND MY STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING NOISES WHEN I'M STEERING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CAN'T HONK AS WARNING AND I DON'T THINK THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY AND IF IT DOES IT CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
