TAKATA RECALL. ON 8/4/16 I WAS INFORMED OF THE AIR BAG RECALL ON MY VEHICLE I AM CURRENTLY LEASING. I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING ME OF THIS ISSUE. MY LEASE IS ENDING SOON AND I WAS GOING TO BUY THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE MANAGER INFORMED ME THAT I COULD NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAD A PRESENT ONGOING RECALL THAT STATES NO REMEDY YET FOR THIS ISSUE, I BELIEVE IT IS VOLKSWAGEN RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE THIS CAR OFF MY HANDS AND CLEAR MY BALANCE DUE TO THEIR MANUFACTURER UNSAFE DEFECTS IN THE AIR BAG. EVERYDAY I AM PUTTING MYSELF AT AN EVEN HIGHER RISK OF DRIVING BECAUSE MY AIR BAGS HAVE BEEN RECALLED STATING MORE HARM THEN GOOD WILL OCCUR IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. IT IS ONLY RIGHT THEY ACCEPT THE VEHICLE BACK WITHOUT ME BEING FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ACTIVATED ON 8/1/16. SCHEDULED TO DIAGNOSE ON 8/3/16 . ADBLUE HEATER HAS QUIT AND QUOTE TO REPAIR IS $1165. WHY IS THIS NOT COVERED UNDER EMISSIONS WARRANTY? THE POINT OF ADBLUE IS REDUCED EMISSIONS. NOW, IF IT GETS TOO COLD, MY CAR WON'T START BECAUSE IT DETECTS THAT IT CANNOT EFFECTIVELY CONTROL EMISSIONS? AIR QUALITY, AT LAST CHECK OF CONFINED SPACE ENTRY PERMITS, IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON MY 2013 VW PASSAT TDI, THE GLOW PLUG LIGHT STARTED TO FLASH WHEN DRIVING CAR ON 40MPH ROAD, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER (WENT INTO LIMP MODE), BUT WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME. FAULT CODES PULLED WERE P0087(FUEL RAIL / SYSTEM PRESSURE LOW). LATER DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. AFTER SOME QUICK RESEARCH, I FOUND THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG VW COMMON RAIL TDI ENGINES. (THIS WILL BE A $5000 - $7000 DEALER REPAIR)
