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.

Takata recall to whom it may concern, on April 2016, I received a safety recall letter from Volkswagen regarding the safety recall 69M9-takata sdi driver frontal airbag. I called my local Volkswagen dealer and they said they still do not have the parts. On May 6, 2016, I called your customer care to express my concern regarding this issue. Today is June 20, 2016 and still do not have a letter from Volkswagen to fix my recall. I am very concern, scared and stressed about this safety recall. As it was mentioned in the letter, 'takata has reported that the driver frontal airbags are designed to deploy. In the event of an inflator rupture, metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants.' I have also read an event where a fatality accident of a young lady from this takata airbag. I am scared for myself and my children when I drive this vehicle. I am a single mother who purchase this Volkswagen knowing and trusting the name of the quality of this vehicle, but now I worry. I drive this vehicle every day. I only ask is to fix this recall as soon as possible. If the parts is truly not ready, at least provide us a rental car while waiting for it to be fixed.
