TAKATA RECALL-I HAVE RECEIVED YET ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE ABOUT AIRBAG REPAIR BUT THIS IS NOT POSSIBLE. WALDORF VOLKSWAGEN DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THIS REPAIR FOR MY VEHICLE. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ILLUMINATED FOR OVER A YEAR AND I REALLY DON'T DRIVE THE CAR AS A RESULT OF THIS. WHY DOES VW OF AMERICA CONTINUE TO SEND THESE REPAIR NOTICES BUT THERE AREN'T ANY PARTS AVAILABLE YET? THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ABS SYSTEM IS FAILING. ANTI-LOCK BRAKES DO NOT WORK WELL, DASHBOARD ABS SIGNALS ARE CONSTANTLY ON. PARKING BRAKE LIGHT CONSTANTLY FLASHES. JUST CALLED VW USA CUSTOMER SERVICE. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V-913) BUT THE RECALL COVERS MODEL YEARS 2009 AND 2010. MY CAR IS A 2006, BUT HAS THE EXACT SAME ISSUES. VOLKSWAGON WOULD NOT OFFER ANY REPAIRS OR DIAGNOSTICS SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED ON THE RECALL. PERHAPS THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES AFFECTED IS LARGER THAN THE RECALL POINTS OUT?

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA, MARCH 2017 INFORMING ME TO CONTACT THE DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAG REPLACED. I DID, MADE AN APPOINTMENT AND THE NEXT DAY RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM THE DEALER THAT THEY CANNOT REPAIR MY CAR BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. I ASKED WHEN CAN I EXPECT TO HAVE THE WORK DONE AND THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SAID SHE HAS NO IDEA. THE LETTER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO USE BECAUSE "PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND SERIOUSLY INJURED BY THIS DEFECT." I TRIED CALLING THE TELEPHONE NUMBER PROVIDED AND WAITED FOR OVER AN HOUR ONLINE BEFORE I GAVE UP. I ALSO SENT THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TEXT MESSAGES TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LACK OF FOLLOW-THROUGH, BUT I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY RESPONSES. I AM AFRAID OF USING MY CAR DUE TO THE DEFECT. I FEEL THAT THE DEALERSHIPS LACK OF RESPONSE IS UNACCEPTABLE. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP PROVIDE ME WITH A LOANER UNTIL AND WHENEVER THEY REPAIR MY CAR. I ALSO WOULD LIKE THE DEALERSHIP TO RESPOND TO MY CONCERNS. I DON'T KNOW IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER, ESPECIALLY IF THE FAILURE TO FIX THE CAR IN A TIMELY MANNER COULD PROVE FATAL. PLEASE HELP ME.
