TAKATA RECALL - STILL WAITING ON VW TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG IN MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO JUST CONTINUE ON DRIVING AND NOT TO WORRY ABOUT IT, THAT THEY WILL GET TO ME WHEN THEY GET TO ME. IT IS NOW OVER A FULL YEAR LATER AND NO SOLUTION.
SUDDEN ENGINE HIGH VIBRATION WHILES DRIVING AND EVENTUALLY ENGINE AND BATTERY FAILURE AT THE SAME TIME AND DAY. VW TECHNICIANS IDENTIFIED PIECES OF METAL FROM ENGINE IN OIL FILTER. LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY ELSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. NOTE: CAR IS TAKEN CARE OF WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGE AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE USING VW SERVICE

VW IS UNABLE TO REPLACE THE RECALL, AND I AM CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT WITH THE RECALL, BUT WE ARE GOING INTO A YEAR NOW. I HAVE PUT OFF MAKING ROAD TRIPS IN MY CAR AND THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE'S DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS PART OF THE RECALL. I CONTACTED A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE UNTIL I RECEIVE THE OFFICIAL LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN. THEY ALSO STATED THAT GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HOW MANY VEHICLES NEED AIRBAGS REPLACED, THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY ARE FIXING VEHICLES IN HIGH PRIORITY ZONES FIRST. HOWEVER, JUST LAST MONTH GOT AROUND TO SENDING OUT LETTERS TO ALLOW VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED A YEAR AGO. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY REGISTERED IN A LOW PRIORITY ZONE. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IT WAS PURCHASED IN A HIGH PRIORITY ZONE AND WAS DRIVEN THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I CAN NOT TURN THIS CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR A DEALER TRADE IN AS DEALERSHIPS DO NOT ACCEPT VEHICLES WITH RECALLS. I CAN SELL IT IN THE STATE OF CO INDEPENDENTLY, HOWEVER, WHO WOULD WANT TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE WITH A RECALL ON IT, THAT HAS NO TIMELINE AVAILABLE AS TO WHEN IT CAN BE FIXED. I FEEL EXTREMELY NERVOUS WITH MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HARM OR WORSE KILL HER. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT VOLKSWAGEN CAN NOT EVEN PROVIDE US WITH A DATE IN THE FUTURE THAT THEY CAN FIX THE CAR. I CAN'T EVEN TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A TRADE IN BECAUSE DEALERSHIPS WON'T TAKE CARS THAT HAVE RECALLS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED,
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED. THE VIN WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE RECALL FOR THE CLOCK SPRING. THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,200.

TAKATA RECALL IN APRIL 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM VW OF THE TAKATA RECALL. IT IS NOW FEB 2017. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM ANYONE IN 10 MONTHS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I CALLED VW AND THEY IN EFFECT SAID NOTHING IS BEING DONE YET. THEY EVEN SAID NO MANUFACTURER HAS DONE A REPAIR. YOUR SITE SAYS 10 MILLION CARS HAVE BEEN FIXED ALREADY. SOMETHING IS CERTAINLY WRONG WITH THIS LACK OF PROGRESS BY VW, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS DANGEROUS AIRBAG PROBLEM. NHTSA MUST PRESSURE VW TO GET OFF THEIR ASSES. THERE IS AT LEAST IGNORANCE, BUT MORE LIKELY LYING, AT ALL LEVELS OF VW. AFTER 10 MONTHS I BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED. JUST BECAUSE TAKATA IS JAPANESE AND VW IS GERMAN IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE. DO YOUR JOB!!

I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR 1 YEAR BECAUSE THE AIRBAG IS BAD.(TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL) THE AIRBAG WAS RECALLED IN 2/2016, AND IT'S NOW 1 YEAR LATER AND I STILL HAVE NO FIX FOR IT. I REFUSE TO PUT MY KIDS IN THE CAR AND I CAN'T SELL IT UNTIL THE RECALL IS FIXED. SO I HAVE A CAR THAT I'M STILL PAYING FOR AND I CAN'T DRIVE IT SAFELY. I CALLED VW AND THEY COULDN'T OFFER ANY TIME FRAME FOR WHEN IT WOULD BE FIXED. I NEED VW TO BUY THIS FROM ME OR SOMETHING, BECAUSE I'M LOSING MONEY ON A CAR THAT I CAN'T DRIVE AND I CAN'T SELL.

WINDSHIELD VISIBILITY DEFROST/DEFOG FAILURE: DEFROST FAILED ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. NO HEAT ON PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. CAUSES ICE ACCUMULATION ON WINDSHIELD AND FOGS UP DUE TO INSUFFICIENT HEAT. CAUSES SAFETY AND DRIVE-ABILITY ISSUES IN COLD AND EXTREME COLD WEATHER. HEATER CORE FAILURE MATCHES SIMILAR FAILURE REPORTED NHTSA ID #10079822. REPAIR IS THE EXACT SAME AS NHTSA ID #10079822 AS WELL AS SAME REPAIR REPLACEMENT PART. SHOP ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE SAME PART MANUFACTURE FAILURE EXISTS BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE THIS VIN. VW NEEDS TO EXPAND PART FAILURE TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL VEHICLES WITH SAME FAILING PART. FAILED PART NUMBER 561.819.031.A AND REPLACED WITH 561.819.031.B. DIAGNOSIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE 2013 GASOLINE PASSAT. I HAVE ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THIS REPAIR IS ONLY BEING OFFERED FOR GASOLINE CARS AND NOT THE DIESEL CARS. I CANNOT CONFIRM BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE DIESEL RECALL. THIS IS ROTTEN I AM NOT OFFERED A FIX FOR THE EMISSIONS AND THEY WILL BUY MY CAR BACK BUT I WOULD TAKE A LOSS OF $3000. IN THE MEAN TIME THEY ARE NOT OFFERING EXTENDED WARRANTY REPAIRS OR ARE ONLY OFFERING THEM ON GASOLINE FUELED CARS. *TR
TAKATA RECALL, I WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET, I EVEN OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND THEY DID NOT WANTED TO DO IT. IT IS WEIRD BECAUSE ONE OF THEIR SALESMAN TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE BEEN REPLACING A LOT OF AIR BAGS FOR THE CARS THEY HAVE FOR SALE, I THINK THEY ARE GETTING SAFE TO SALE THEIR STOCK FIRST AND NOT FIXING THE CARS THAT HAS BEEN ALREADY SOLD.
TAKATA RECALL CAN'T YOU MAKE THE KILLER AIRBAG REMOVABLE IF A SHOULDER-TYPE SEAT BELT AS USED IN RACE CARS IS INSTALLED?
TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION FROM VW APRIL 2016 REGARDING THE SAFETY RECALL OF THE TAKATA SDI DIRVER FRONTAL AIRBAG. NHTSA:16V078. TO DATE, THIS HAS NOT BEEN RECTIFIED BY VW
RECALL FROM APRIL 2016 STILL NO PARTS AVAILABLE.
"TAKATA RECALL" THE RECALL WAS POSTED LAST YEAR IN FEB 2016 AND NO REMEDY IS AVAILABLE. WHAT IS VW WAITING FOR? SOMEONE TO DIE? WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED? IN THE MEANTIME I AM DRIVING AROUND IN WITH A POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING AIRBAG SYSTEM THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP ME SAFE. *TR
BATTERY GROUND CABLE IS MARKED RED INSTEAD OF BLACK. THE NEW BATTERY WAS HOOKED UP WITH THE RED TO THE POSITIVE BATTERY TERMINAL AND BLEW THE MAIN FUSE AND RUINED THE AMPLIFIER TO THE SOUND SYSTEM. THE BATTERY WAS STATIONARY IN SEARS ROEBUCK SHOP AS THE BATTERY WAS BEING REPLACED BY A MECHANIC. THE CAR IS STILL IN THE SHOP SO I HAVE NO PICTURES AS YET. THIS COULD PRODUCE SERIOUS PHYSICAL DAMAGE IF THE BATTERY SHOULD BLOW UP BECAUSE OF THIS WIRING. REPORTED TO VW ON JANUARY 20, 2017.
TAKATA RECALL NO REMEDY HAS BEEN PROVIDED TO ME AND THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE, NOT TO MENTION THE VALUE OF MY CAR BEING NEGATIVELY IMPACTED DUE TO POOR ENGINEERING.
TAKATA RECALL - VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2012 - DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THIS AIRBAG RECALL DEFECT HAS BEEN OUTSTANDING ALMOST A YEAR, AND 11 PEOPLE HAVE DIED FROM THIS IN OTHER CARS, AND VOLKSWAGEN WILL NOT FIX IT OR OFFER A RENTAL OR LOANER CAR, NOR WILL THEY OFFER A BUY BACK TO ME TO HELP ME AVOID THE RISK OF DEATH WHICH COULD BE CAUSED BY THIS DEFECTIVE RECALLED AIRBAG. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE VOLKSWAGEN PAY ME BACK THE MONEY I SPENT ON THIS CAR, SINCE THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT AND DO NOT OFFER ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, AND MY RESELL VALUE OF THIS CAR IS ALSO REDUCED BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO BUY A CAR WITH A RECALL THAT CAN KILL YOU THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I CALLED VW CORPORATE FOR HELP, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING, AND THAT I SHOULD STAY IN THE VEHICLE AND KEEP DRIVING IT DESPITE THE RISK OF DEATH. I WANT THIS FIXED, OR A LOANER/RENTAL CAR TO BE PROVIDED TO ME AT NO COST BY VOLKSWAGEN SO I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE RISKING DEATH, OR I WANT VOLKSWAGEN TO BUY BACK MY CAR FOR FULL PRICE BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT! *TR
TAKATA RECALL THERE HAS BEEN NO REMEDY FOR THIS ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN NEARLY A YEAR.

TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL. STILL NO REMEDY HAS BEEN COMMUNICATED TO ME.
ONE OF THE ACTUATORS IN THE HVAC SYSTEM PREMATURELY FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. I BELIEVE IT WAS THE RECIRCULATION ACTUATOR. I COULD NOT GET THE CAR TO PROPERLY DEFROST, CAUSING DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS AS VISIBILITY THROUGH THE FOGGED WINDSCREEN WAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ACTUATOR (AT MY EXPENSE) AND THE ISSUE WAS RESOLVED. AN ACTUATOR SHOULD NOT BE FAILING THIS EARLY IN THE VEHICLE'S LIFETIME. I, THE USER, DID NOT DO SOMETHING SPECIAL TO CAUSE THIS TO OCCUR. *TR
I WENT TO HAVE AN APPRAISAL DONE ON MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD THE DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG WAS DEFECTED, AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE DRIVING A CAR THAT COULD CAUSE HARM TO ME. (IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.) *TR
TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A NOTICE IN THE MAIL ALMOST A YEAR AGO AND THE COMPANY HAS NOT SENT ME ANY INFORMATION ABOUT FIXING THIS DANGEROUS AIRBAG ISSUE. I STOPPED BY A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY FIX COMING SOON. I THINK A YEAR SEEMS LIKE A VERY LONG TIME TO BE DRIVING ONE OF THEIR PRODUCTS THAT HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WHICH COULD ENDANGER ONE'S LIFE. WHAT DO YOU THINK? *TR
TAKATA RECALL. I CANNOT SELL MY CAR UNLESS THIS IS FIXED! I AM STUCK WITH A DANGEROUS CAR.
TAKATA RECALL. DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG TAKATA SDI INFLATORS - NO REMEDY AVAILABLE NO REMEDY OR REPAIR YET AVAILABLE.

NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
