2014 Volkswagen Passat complaints

CLOCK SPRING BROKE IN THE CAR, 2014 MODEL WITH 53K MILES ON IT. WIFE WAS JUST DRIVING ONE DAY HEAR A SNAP AND NOTICED THE AIR BAG LIGHT WAS ON AND HORN AND OTHER BUTTON ON STEERING WHEEL WERE NOT WORKING.

TAKATA RECALL, I VERIFIED THERE WAS A RECALL APRIL OF 2017 AND IMMEDIATELY I CALLED MY VW DEALER TO SCHEDULE THE MAINTENANCE. I WAS PUT ON A WAIT LIST. I CALLED BACK SEPTEMBER 2017 AND WAS ADVISED THAT I WAS 10TH DOWN ON THE LIST AND THAT THEY WERE WAITING FOR THE PARTS. I CALLED BACK AGAIN 03/16/2018 AND WAS ADVISED I WAS STILL ON THE LIST AND THAT THEY JUST ORDERED PARTS, THERE WAS A 4 DAY WAIT TO GET THEM, AND THEN THEY WORK FROM THE TOP OF THE LIST DOWN. IT'S BEEN OVER 2 YEARS SINCE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED AND I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE SERVICE. I DRIVE MY VEHICLE DAILY TO AND FROM WORK, SCHOOL, AND DAYCARE WITH MY CHILDREN. TO THIS DATE I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT INVOLVING MY AIRBAGS.

STARTING GETTING TIMING CODE ERRORS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE TIMING CHAIN IS BAD AND WILL COST NEARLY $4000 TO REPLACE. LOOKED ONLINE AND THIS IS A COMMON OCCURENCE WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL OF THIS CAR. WANT TO MAKE SURE THEY DON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS. THEY SHOULD BE RECALLING THIS AND MAKING THE REPAIRS.

THE HORN, AIRBAG ON DRIVERS SIDE, AND BLUETOOTH. ALL THE COMPONENTS IN THE STEERING WHEEL STOPPED WORKING. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASHBOARD, AND THE REST STOPPED WORKING AFTER A FEW DAYS OF LIGHT CLICKING NOISE FROM THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING. I HAD TO TAKE IT FOR REPAIR 3/13/18.

TAKATA INFLATOR REPLACED, 2 MONTHS LATER, WHILE DRIVING, AND TURNING THE CORNER AT LOW SPEED, ON A CITY STREET, INTO MY SUBDIVISION AT APPROXIMATELY 3-5 MILES PER HOUR, DURING A SNOW STORM. THE AIR BAG LIGHT ILLUMINATES, HEAR CRUNCHING SOUND COMING FROM STEERING COLUMN, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, I HAVE NO HORN OR STEERING WHEEL CONTROL BUTTONS. I NOW HEAR THE SAME CRUNCHING SOUND COMING FROM THE STEERING COLUMN EVERY TIME I TURN THE WHEEL. CALLED DEALER, ADVISED IT SOUNDS LIKE THE CLOCK SWITCH WHICH COMMONLY FAILS AND WOULD COST AROUND $900 TO REPAIR AND WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, SINCE I HAD 40K AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT. I WAS ADVISED THAT MY AIR BAG WILL NOT WORK WITHOUT REPAIR.

I AM A DOD CIVILIAN POSTED OVERSEAS IN SOUTH KOREA. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO GET SERVICED AT THE VOLKSWAGEN SERVICE STATION IN SEONGNAM (AUTOPLATZ BUNDANG, SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA WITH A COPY OF MY RECALL AND I EVEN TRANSLATED WHAT NEEDED SERVICED. THEY EVEN HAD THE GUARANTEE TO SERVICE RECALL ADVERTISEMENT POSTED ON THEIR DESK. HOWEVER, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLACE MY TAKOTA AIR BAGS, DESPITE THE RECALL. THEY SAID THEY HAD ISSUES WITH IMPORTING THE AIRBAGS AND WERE UNABLE TO SERVICE MY VEHICLE AT THAT TIME. THEY TOLD ME CALL BACK IN MARCH AND CHECK BACK THEN TO SEE IF THEY HAD ANY AIRBAGS THEN. HOWEVER, I AM DUE TO SHIP MY VEHICLE IN FEBRUARY AND WILL MOVE BACK TO THE US IN MARCH 2018. I COMPLAINED AND SAID THAT I WILL REPORT THEM AS A CERTIFIED VW SERVICE STATION THAT IS REFUSING TO SERVICE MY RECALL. THEY APOLOGIZED AND SAID SORRY THAT THEY COULD NOT REPLACE MY AIRBAGS AT THAT TIME AND I'D HAVE TO CALL BACK LATER. I ASKED IF I COULD SCHEDULE A TIME TO COME BACK TO DO IT THEN, ONCE THEY HAD AIRBAGS, AND THEY SAID NO. THAT I WOULD JUST HAVE TO KEEP CALLING TO CHECK.

FRONT DRIVER AIRBAG FAULT LIGHT IN ON, VEHICLE HORN DOES NOT WORK, WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL THERE IS CLICKING SOUND. THIS IS SIMILAR TO RECALL NUMBER 1V483000 DATED 08/04/2015 BUT MY VEHICLE IS NOT ON RECALL LIST

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 10 MPH WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL DEALER (AUTOFAIR FORD, 1475 S WILLOW ST, MANCHESTER, NH) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS TRANSMISSION FLUID ON THE HOUSING CASE, THE TRANSMISSION UNIT WAS LEAKING FLUID, AND THE SEALS AND WIRES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE DEALER REFERRED THE CONTACT TO AUTOFAIR VOLKSWAGEN OF NASHUA (717 NEW HAMPSHIRE #101A, MERIMACK, NH 03054). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

I BROUGHT CAR TO VW DEALER THE SAME DAY AND THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND SAID I NEED A NEW CLOCKSPRING. I HAVE HEARD MANY PASSATS HAVE THIS ISSUE BUT MY CARS VIN WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD. NOW I HAVE A CAR WITH A BROKEN CLOCKSPRING. AMONGST MANY OTHER VW OWNERS. PLEASE HELP US

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A NOTICE ABOUT THE RECALL LAST YEAR AND CONTACTED THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP IN REDWOOD CITY (HTTP://WWW.BOARDWALKVOLKSWAGEN.COM) ON 12/11/17. THEY TOLD ME THEY'D PUT ME ON A WAITLIST FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. I'VE CALLED EVERY WEEK SINCE THEN TO SEE IF THE PARTS HAVE FINALLY ARRIVED BUT IT'S BEEN OVER A MONTH NOW (1/15/18) AND THERE'S STILL NO UPDATES OR CONCRETE TIMELINE FOR FIXING THE ISSUE.

SUNROOF EXPLODED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NO OTHER CARS, OVERPASSES, OR OTHER ROAD DEBRIS IN AREA WHICH COULD HAVE CAUSED ISSUE.

HEAT SHIELD/BOOST HOSE, INLET AIR BOX HOUSING SNOW FLAP REPLACEMENT & OXY,. 2.0L TDI ENGINE(GEN 2 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISION0

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAD COME ON. THIS SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN SOMETHING HEAVY IS ON THE SEAT. WHILE NEEDING TO HONK THE HORN ON THE FREEWAY BECAUSE SOMEONE WAS MERGING ON TO THE LANE WHERE I WAS DRIVING, THE HORN WOULD NOT WORK. I LATER DISCOVERED THE RADIO CONTROL ON THE STEERING WHEEL DID NOT WORK EITHER.

TRANSMISSION ERRATIC SHIFTING. VERY COMMON ISSUE!

I HAVE A 2014 VW PASSAT-CAR WENT IN FOR A RECALL FOR AIRBAGS. (VW IS SAYING THAT IT IS NOT TAKATA RECALL) AT THE TIME MY CAR WAS TAKEN IN, THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH IT. HAD THE RECALL COMPLETED AND MAYBE WEEKS LATER MY CLOCK SPRING GOES OUT (TOOK A RIGHT TURN, HEARD A CLICK, AND THE "SEATBELT AIRBAG MALFUNCTION" LIGHT TURNED ON) ALL THE CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL GO OUT, INCLUDING THE HORN. I TAKE IT IT TO VW IN SCOTTSDALE SHORTLY AFTER THIS HAPPENED AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS NOT RELATED, NOT COVERED, AND THAT MY CAR WAS NOT PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL ..(ON THEIR WEBSITE IT STATES 2012-2014 PASSAT INCLUDED IN THE REACALL) THE SERVICE MANAGER I SPOKE WITH SAID THAT HE HAS NEVER HEARD OF THE CLOCK SPRING GOING OUT ON ITS OWN. LITTLE FISHY HOW NOTHING IS WRONG WITH MY CAR, I GET THE RECALL DONE, AND WEEKS AFTER MY CLOCK SPRING GOES OUT (WHICH IS RELATED TO THE AIRBAG!) AND TOLD ME IT WOULD BE ABOUT $875 TO FIX! MY CAR HAS ONLY 58,000 MILES ON IT.

THE TRUNK LATCH HAS FAILED AND TRUNK WON'T OPEN. THE SEAT RELEASE MECHANISM TO ACCESS TRUNK IS ALSO INSIDE THE TRUNK. SO NO WAY TO OPEN THE TRUNK

I HAVE A RECALLED TAKATA AIR BAG IN MY VEHICLKE. I DODGED A DOG IN THE ROAD AND HIT THE GUARD RAIL WHERE IT IS BURIED IN THE GROUND. MY PASSET TRAVELED 15-20 FEET UP THE GAURD RAIL. THE CAR WAS VERY DAMAGED AND MY AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. THE STATE PATROLMAN AND THE TOW TRUCK WERE CONFUSED WHY THE AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY. I WAS IN MOTION ABOUT 75 FT FROM WHERE I TURNED LEFT ONTO THE JHWY 96. THE SPEED LIMIT IS 45MPH. I AS GOING ABOUT 20 MPH. I TURNED FROM A COUNTY STREET ONTO CO 96.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, IT LEAKED OIL ONTO THE GROUND. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT OIL LEAKED FROM THE UPPER INTAKE TUBE INTO THE TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER. VOLKSWAGEN KEARNY MESA IN SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14182000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 71,099.

STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING DEFECTIVE, DISABLING AIR BAG AND OTHER CONTROLS. VW HAS RECALLED THIS CONDITION ON OTHER US-BUILT 2014 PASSAT MODELS, JUST NOT MINE, SINCE THE RECALL IS VIN-SPECIFIC, AND BY CHANCE, DOESN'T INCLUDE MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE.

DRIVING A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT TDI IN HEAVY INTERSTATE TRAFFIC ON I-24 MY HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILED LEAVING ME STRANDED IN DANGEROUS HEAVY TRAFFIC. I CAR WOULD NOT BUDGE, HAD TO BE TOWED IN AND NOW FACING PROBLEMS WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA NOT WANTING TO REPAIR A KNOWN PROBLEMATIC PART--NOT TO MENTION A DANGEROUS PART TO FAIL AT ANYTIME WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE. I PRACTICE GOOD MAINTENANCE AND PROPER FUEL IS ALWAYS DISPENSED INTO MY VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT TDI AS I'M THE ONLY PERSON WHO FUELS THIS VEHICLE WITH DIESEL. I'VE DRIVEN FOR UPS, BEEN A NURSE FOR 20 YEARS AND CAN HONESTLY SAY THIS WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON THE INTERSTATE. THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP IS LOCATED IN MURFRESSBORO TN, 2203 NW BROAD ST, PHONE 615-653-4694

CAR SHUT OFF ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR. CAR WAS COMPLETELY WITHOUT POWER AND COASTING WITHOUT ENGINE POWER AT ALL. AVOIDED A SERIOUS DANGEROUS HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH WAS A LIFE THREATENING EXPERIENCE. INEXPERIENCED DRIVER WOULD HAVE SURELY BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. MY MASTER GERMAN MECHANICS HAVE INFORMED ME IT IS THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP THAT FAILED AND LEFT MY CAR VULNERABLE AT 70MPH SURROUNDED BY RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. UPDATED 10/19/2017*JS

THE CAR'S TRANSMISSION IS LISTED AS "AUTOMATIC", HOWEVER IT JERKS ON SLOW SPEEDS AND SLOWING DOWN. THIS PERFORMANCE IS DESCRIBED IN THE DSG DIAGRAM FROM THE AUTOMOTIVE TECHNOLOGY WEB SITE. IT ALSO APPEARS THAT THIS MANUFACTURER (VW) WAS THE FIRST TO DESIGN THIS AN AUTOMATED MANUAL TRANSMISSION, IT WAS NOT APPROVED BY THE NHSTA. THIS TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT BE CLASSIFIED AND THEN CERTIFIED AS AUTOMATIC. THE BUYING PUBLIC SHOULD BE NOTIFIED IF THEIR VEHICLE HAS THIS ALTERNATE TRANSMISSION. THE JERK AND LURCH OF THE VEHICLE IS PROBLEMATIC IF THE DRIVER LOSES CONTROL AT THE EVENT THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS ACTUALLY AT FAULT. THERE IS NO GRIND IN THE GEARS LIKE A TRADITIONAL AUTOMATIC TO INDICATE MALFUNCTION. THIS OCCURS AT EVERY START, STOP WHICH MAKES IT THE REGULAR PERFORMANCE FOR THE VEHICLE, BUT HOW DOES THE OWNER KNOW WHEN THINGS ARE NOT. OCCURS STOPPING AT LIGHTS. FOLLOWING IN SLOW TRAFFIC. DRIVING UP HILL. PARKING.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER WAS CONTACTED (VOLKSWAGEN OF NEW PORT RICHY IN NEW PORT RICHY, FL 866-753-0856) AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

TAKATA RECALL .LIKE 6 MONTHS AGO WAS GHANGE OIL ON DEALER,AND WAS ASK ABOUT TRADE IN MY CAR BUT THEY GIVE ME A SMALL PRICE BECAUSE MY CAR HAS RECALL !!!THEY DID NOT PROPOUSE ME NOTHING TO FIX OR CHGANGE OR DO MY PROBLEM!!I HAVE TWO KIDS IM WORRY ABOUT MY SAFETY PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE HORN FAILED TO SOUND. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, THE STEERING WHEEL CLICKED WHEN TURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE CLOCK SPRING FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO SAVANNAH VOLKSWAGEN (50 EISENHOWER DR, SAVANNAH, GA 31406) WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS CONFIRMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V483000 (AIR BAGS). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

TAKATA RECALL. I RECEIVED A RECALL FROM VW FOR THE TAKATA AIRBAG. IN THE DESCRIPTION, ON CARS.COM, IT SAYS "IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, DEBRIS MAY CONTAMINATE THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING, A SPIRAL WOUND, FLAT CABLE THAT KEEPS THE AIR BAG POWERED WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED. THIS CONTAMINATION MAY TEAR THE CABLE AND RESULT IN A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG. CONSEQUENCE A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG WILL PREVENT THE AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY." THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE. NOTHING ON MY STEERING WHEEL WORKS, NOT EVEN MY HORN. I WENT TO VW, AND THEY REPLACED THE TAKATA AIR BAG, BUT DID NOT REPLACE THE BROKEN CLOCK SPRING BECAUSE THEY SAY MY CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THE CLOCK SPRING. I THINK THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS TOLD THAT MY DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. ONE OF THE REASONS I PURCHASED THIS CAR WAS FOR THE AIRBAGS AND THE SAFETY FEATURES. HOW IS THERE NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. IT DID EXACTLY WHAT SAID "MAY HAPPEN."

2014 VW PASSAT TDI SE 2.0L MANUAL MY VEHICLE HAS 62,583 MI. ON IT. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THE DIESEL "GLOW PLUG" LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING ON THE DASHBOARD AND I LOST ALL ENGINE POWER. I WAS FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO REACH THE ROADSIDE SAFELY AND I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR TO A HALT ON THE ROADSIDE. TRYING TO START THE VEHICLE HOWEVER WAS NOT POSSIBLE, THE "GLOW PLUG" LIGHT CONTINUED TO FLASH AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. VW ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE NEAREST VW DEALERSHIP WHERE I HAVE WAS GIVEN THE ERROR CODE INFORMATION BELOW AND TOLD MY TURBO AND ENGINE NEED TO BE REPLACED BUT THAT THEY ARE OUTSIDE OF MY 5YR/60,000 MI WARRANTY.

TAKATA RECALL: I CONTACTED VW IN FEBRUARY ABOUT THE RECALL THAT WAS IN EFFECT FOR MY VEHICLE THEY ASSURED ME THAT THEY WOULD GET IT FIXED AS SOON AS THEY COULD. IT'S SIX MONTHS LATER AND I JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE RECALL AND VW HAS YET TO SOLVE THE ISSUE FOR ME.

TAKATA RECALL: I WORK FOR THE U.S. ARMY IN GERMANY. I PURCHASED MY U.S. SPECIFICATION VW PASSAT THROUGH THE MILITARY CAR SALES PROGRAM. WHEN I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR THE AIRBAGS I BOOKED AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY LOCAL VW DEALER TO HAVE THE AIRBAGS REPLACED. WE TOOK THE CAR FOR THE APPOINTMENT AND WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE AIRBAGS OF AN AMERICAN SPECIFICATION CAR. I HAD A GERMAN ATTORNEY CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO TRY AND FIND A WAY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM RESOLVED AND WAS ULTIMATELY TOLD IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE. THE WORK AROUND WAS TO HAVE A MEMORANDUM PREPARED WHEN THE TIME COMES TO SHIP THE VEHICLE SAYING THE DEFECTIVE AUTO WILL BE REPAIRED UPON RETURN TO THE U.S.. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS MY JOB IS HERE AND I HAVE NO SET DATE TO RETURN TO THE U.S.. MY FAMILY IS FORCED TO DRIVE A VEHICLE WITH AIRBAGS THAT CAN KILL US. I CAN'T TRADE OR SELL THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT HAS A KNOWN DEFECT THAT I CAN'T GET REPAIRED IN GERMANY. I NEED VW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I WOULD PREFER THEY TAKE THE CAR BACK. THE VW WEBSITE HAS ONE LITTLE PARAGRAPH DEALING WITH MILITARY MEMBERS AND THE SOLUTION THEY PROVIDE DOES NOT HELP US BECAUSE AGAIN, WE DO NOT HAVE A RETURN DATE. THE 1-800# IS ALWAYS BUSY AND VW GERMANY BELIEVES IT IS QUITE INCAPABLE OF HAVING AN AIRBAG SHIPPED FROM THE U.S. TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ANY LONGER AND WOULD APPRECIATE ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THE CAR RETURNED TO VW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION.

TAKATA RECALL: DEALER UNABLE TO REMEDY THIS SAFETY RECALL.

ON JULY 24TH, WE LEFT A PARKING LOT IN BATTLE CREEK AND DROVE ABOUT 20 YARDS ON HILL BRADY RD. WHEN THERE WAS A LOUD RIPPING SOUND ON THE RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE. WE PULLED THE CAR OVER IMMEDIATELY, THINKING WE'D SHREDDED THE FRONT TIRE. UPON INSPECTION, THE TIRE WAS OK BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MAPLE HILL AUTO GROUP IN KALAMAZOO. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION ON JULY 25TH, I WAS TOLD THE INTERNAL FUEL PUMP EXPLODED, LIKE A GRENADE, SENDING METAL SHARDS THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE. WE HAVE FILED A CLAIM WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY AND ARE AWAITING FURTHER DETAILS.

TAKATA RECALLED AIRBAGS NEVER FIXED IN 3 YEARS I HAD MY LEASE SO THEY KNOWINGLY ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE ME AND MY KIDS FOR 3 YEARS IN AN UNSAFE CAR!!! THE TDI DEISEL WAS ALSO AN ISSUE AND HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES AS WELL.

AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING . WHY WASN'T MY VEHICLE COVERED UNDER RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING RECALL NUMBER 15V483000? OBVIOUSLY MORE VEHICLES ARE AFFECTED. MY AIRBAG AND INSTRUMENT CONTROLS DO NOT WORK NOW DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WAS NOT ABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

MY AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE MY AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING HAS TORN, WHICH HAS RESULTED IN A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG. THE STEERING WHEEL MAKES A CLICKING NOISE WHEN TURNING AFTER THE AIRBAG LIGHT ILLUMINATED TO INDICATE AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED AS OF YET. BUT, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE NOTICE OF A REMEDY FOR THIS RECALL FOR OUR 2015 VW PASSAT.

2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH FAILURE OF THE STEERING WHEEL CLOCK SPRING RESULTING IN LOSS OF FUNCTION FOR AIRBAG, HORN, AND STEERING WHEEL CONTROL BUTTONS. AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED, AND HORN/BUTTONS DID NOT WORK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR RIGHT AWAY. MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE EXISTING RECALL (VW 69L2, NHTSA 15V-483) EVEN THOUGH MY ISSUE APPEARED TO BE EXACTLY THE SAME CONCERNS AND SYMPTOMS AS DESCRIBED IN THE EXISTING RECALL NOTICE. THE CURRENT RECALL INCLUDES 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT CARS MANUFACTURED IN THE US, BUT MY VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED. I HAD THE VEHICLE REPAIRED AT A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP (MOMENTUM VOLKSWAGEN OF JERSEY VILLAGE, HOUSTON, TX) AT MY COST OF $544.01. DATE OF REPAIR WAS 05-JUL-2017, VEHICLE MILEAGE 80200.

TAKATA RECALL I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY STATUS IS STILL 'REMEDY NOT YET AVAILABLE".

TAMARA RECALL THE RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS RECALL INCLUDE SERIOUS INJURY AND DEATH TO THE PASSENGERS IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS NOTIFIED OF THIS RECALL ON 6/19/17 BY A SERVICEMAN AT A DEALERSHIP. I WAS NOTPREVIOUSLY NOTIFIED BY THE MANUFACTURER. I HAV RECENTLY LEARNED THAT THIS RECALL WAS ISSUED IN 2/2016. I HAVE SINCE MADE THE DECISION TO PURCHASE THIS VEHICLE FROM A LEASE. INFORMATION ABOUT THIS RECALL MAY HAVE IMPACTED MY DECISION TO PURCHASE THE VEHICLE. REGARDLESS, I BELIEVE THE ASSOCIATED RISKS ARE SERIOUS ENOUGH THAT AN OPEN RECALL FOR 17 + MONTHS IS DANGEROUS AND SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE.

TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN THE MAIL MORE THAN A YEAR AGO BUT IN NUMEROUS CALLS TO VW SERVICE THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO FIX MY CAR & THAT IT ISN'T A SAFETY ISSUE IN CALIFORNIA. NOW VW SERVICE DEALERSHIP IN SALINAS SAID THERE IS NO RECALL ON MY CAR EVEN THOUGH WWW.SAFERGOV STILL SHOWS AN INCOMPLETE RECALL. NOW MY HORN STOPPED WORKING,THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS LIT ON THE DASHBOARD AND MY STEERING WHEEL IS MAKING NOISES WHEN I'M STEERING. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I CAN'T HONK AS WARNING AND I DON'T THINK THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY AND IF IT DOES IT CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH.
