AIR BAGS, STEERING
I AM HAVING AIRBAG LIGHT ON OF MY DASHBOARD. I AM ALWAYS HAVING THE SUSPECT ABOUT AIRBAG WILL WORK OR NOT IF REQUIRED. I CONTACT VW SERVICES CENTER THAT THEY CAN'T HELP. VW RECALL WEBSITE SAYS IT IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM LAST FEBRUARY 2016. DO I STILL USE THE CAR OR NOT? I HAVE ONLY 1 CAR FOR THE BASIC COMMUTE TO WORK. I FOLLOWED UP MULTIPLE TIMES WITH VW. BUT THERE IS NO MOVEMENT TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING DOWN THE EXPRESSWAY AT 70MPH, WHEN SUDDENLY THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND TURNED OFF. THE CAR STOPPED FUNCTIONING. IT WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. HAD TO SUDDENLY PULLED OVER ON A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY. WHEN THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP, I TRIED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS A FAILURE OF THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (HPFP). WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. APPROXIMATE COST TO REPAIR: $5826.09. I KNOW THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE HPFP FOR THE 2012 PASSAT. WHAT ABOUT THE 2013?

TAKATA RECALL- I HAVE CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO REMEDY, BUT MY LIFE MEANS MUCH MORE TO ME THAN A DELAYED REMEDY OF A LIFE THREATENING FACTOR. WHEN I AGREED TO DRIVE MY CAR IT WAS FOUND SAFE TO DRIVE, BUT I OR ANYONE CAN SAY THAT ANYMORE. I'D LIKE TO TAKE MY CAR TO A DEALERSHIP AND TRADE WITH A SAFE VEHICLE WHERE ME AND MY FAMILY CAN RIDE. PLEASE HELP.
