"takata recall!" recieved recall letter in Jan. 2016. Everytime I call dealership im told parts are not in. My car already stopped running and I had to have it towed into a mechanic where he knew that the fuel injection issue was a recall. I had to pay him $100 for taking my car apart and telling me it was a familiar issue he had when working on another VW..and that I should call VW and ask if there was a recall. Of course, there was. I then had to pay for a 2nd tow from that shop to VW. They fixed that recall..that I never even got a letter notifying me of the recall. VW fixed it. Yet now I am still waiting as many others for the parts to come in so my car can be repaired with this airbag issue. As far as im concerned this car was made horribly unsafe and its falling apart, aside from the other work ive paid into having done to it. Am I supposed to keep praying I dont get a serious injured or fatal accident. As, there has already been both seriously injured and fatal accidents as a result from this unrepaired issue..I dont feel safe ever getting in my car. Ive aleady been in an accident with hard impact and it didnt deploy. I am requesting that this car be bought back from me, or taken back and put me in a safe replacement car of nothing less than equal value. Or at the very least put me in a rental car at your expense. This is a matter that if not resolved quick will be reviewed over by someone that can do something about it. Lives do matter!

Battery died and since then my parking brake has malfunctioned, stalling while driving, and car seemed to not be changing gears, left me stranded. I didn't even see this oming because I had. O signs of trouble, started up and ran well until hot then would stall out, would start up, then seemed like it was switching gears on its own. This would happened while driving on city streets, at stop lights and even at 65 mph on freeway.
