I was informed by Volkswagen that my car had been listed as a recall for the airbags defect. I was told that there was no fix for the issue at the present but then received a letter saying I was eligible for an upgrade. When I went to the dealership to inquire, they informed me that I was eligible for the upgrade, trade up but would have to make a downpayment. I was told VW could not replace the airbag without having to replace the entire steering wheel, so they were offering the trade up. But they could not do anything for me without me putting more money down.

My car has an open recall for the takata air bag situation. It' been open since February it's now August. As I understand it, the airbag apparatus is subject to corrosion in humid warm climates. I live in brevard county Florida, on the coast subject to high humidity and heat. My neighbor has an Acura which is also subject to the recall. Since Acura thinks more of it's clients they made arrangements for a rental car for them until the fix finally came in, in July. Maybe if VW had to do the same they may expedite my repair so my wife and I aren't risking our lives every time we have to drive our VW. Any help is welcomed.

I received the recall notice back to February 9, 2016. However, remedy is still not yet available after almost six months. I am really disappointed about Volkswagen's execution and feel unsafe when driving my car.

- Sunnyvale, CA, USA

Takata recall I received notice concerning a recall on the airbag for my vehicle but when I called VW service several times, I was informed that the replacement part has not been made available. My concern is, if I or my daughter or husband was to get into an accident while driving the car and the airbag deploys, severely injuring or killing my family, instead of the airbag saving them, I'm going to file against VW. Because VW decided to wait and do their own investigation. I'm worried and I will be returning the car if this matter is not resolved immediately

Takata recall my vehicle is on the recall list for the driver side takata air bag recall. Volkswagon never contacted us about it, that we were driving a car with the faulty air bag, volkswagon did instruct their dealers to not sell the 2012-2014 Passats and had them remove them from their lots, but are ok with their customers driving them. I contacted VW, to opt out of my lease early with no penalty, I only have 6 months left on my lease. But they refused it. I am appalled my family's safety is not a concern from this company. Weren't they supposed to notify their customers with a written letter? there is no fix for the problem, I understand that, but they aren't even trying to ease the fears or inform their customers of the potential hazards of driving these vehicles.
