2014 Volkswagen Passat complaints

I WAS OFFERED TO RETURN MY CAR FROM A LEASE WITH 7 MONTHS LEFT, THROUGH THE VW EARLY BUYBACK PROMOTION. THIS IS WHEN I WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SUBJECT TO A DANGEROUS RECALL, WHICH COULD CAUSE DEATH, AND THAT NO FIX WAS AVAILABLE FOR IT AT THIS TIME. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET ABOUT THIS REPORT AND VW BRUSHED MY COMPLAINT BY SAYING THAT I ONLY HAD 7 MONTHS LEFT TO PAY AND I COULD RETURN THE VEHICLE. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE AND AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH DRIVING CAR ANYMORE.

TAKATA RECALL. !!!!!!! WORRIED ABOUT DRIVING THE CAR NOW AND I CAN'T EVEN SELL IT TO GET ANOTHER CAR. THIS IS DEPRIVING ME OF USE OF MY PROPERTY. WE OWNERS OF CARS EFFECTED DESERVE MUCH MORE THAN REPLACING PARTS.

TWICE, ON MAY 12 AND ON OCTOBER 22, WHILE IN A PARKING LOT AND PULLING INTO A VERTICAL PARKING SPOT AT VERY LOW SPEED, I TAPPED THE ACCELERATOR, AND SUDDENLY THE CAR RAPIDLY SPED UP. I WAS UNABLE TO STOP IT WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND I HIT A BRICK PLANTER THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, AND I HIT THE POST HOLDING UP THE FRONT OF A BUILDING THE SECOND TIME. THE BRAKE PEDAL ON THE PASSAT IS APPROXIMATELY 3" WIDE AND LOCATED ONLY AN INCH OR SO FROM THE ACCELERATOR. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT I HIT BOTH PEDALS WHILE TRYING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, BUT THAT DOES NOT EXPLAIN THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION THAT CAUSED THE CAR TO JUMP THE CURB AND HIT THE PLANTER AND THE BUILDING. FRIGHTENING SITUATION. I WASN'T INJURED THE FIRST TIME BUT WAS FAIRLY WELL SHAKEN UP THE SECOND. THE BODY SHOP SAID THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WAS ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME EACH TIME. I TOOK THE CAR TO T HE VW DEALER AFTER THE FIRST ACCIDENT, BUT THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG.

TAKATA RECALL: VW TRAVELING IN RIGHT MOST LANE OF 4 LANE CITY STREET WHEN VEHICLE IN OPPOSING LANE MADE AN ILLEGAL LEFT ON TURN IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO THE LEFT OF VW. VW IMPACTED TURNING VEHICLE IN MIDDLE OF PASSENGER SIDE. ACCIDENT REPORT ATTACHED. DEPLOYMENT OF DRIVER/STEERING WHEEL AIRBAG RESULTED IN SEVER GASH TO DRIVER'S LEFT HAND - PHOTOS ATTACHED.

VOLKSWAGEN DID NOT ISSUE A RENTAL CAR TO ME. I HAVE NO ALTERNATE TRANSPORTATION. I ALSO LIVE IN A HUMID ENVIRONMENT WHERE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IS MORE OF A RISK.

TAKATA RECALL. I AM A VERY CONCERNED HUSBAND OF A WIFE WHO DRIVES A CAR AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA INFLATOR RECALL. VOLKSWAGEN AG IS TAKING AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FIXING THE RECALL OF AN ITEM THAT CLEARLY IS A LIFE/DEATH RISK. I AM DISGUSTED BY VOLKSWAGEN'S LACK OF URGENCY WITH THE ISSUE. I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE AS THE LITTLE CONSUMER WHO SPENT HARD-EARNED MONEY TO BUY FROM A MULTI-BILLION DOLLAR CORPORATION.

TAKATA RECALL - RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2016. IT IS NOW OCTOBER 2016 AND VW HAS NOT RELEASE APPROPRIATE SOLUTIONS TO THIS RECALL. I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AND I WOULD LIKE VW TO ISSUE NOTICES FOR A PROPER AIRBAG RECALL SOLUTION IN A QUICK MANNER. CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR AN EXCESS OF 8 MONTHS FOR A VIABLE SOLUTION.

MY VEHICLE HAS A TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL SINCE 02/09/2016, I HAVE CONTACTED VW DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT THIS, AND I GET NO GOOD RESPONSE FROM THEM, THE ONLY THING THEY SAID IS PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE YET, PLEASE CALL IN A FEW WEEKS, SO IT'S BEEN A FEW MONTHS AND STILL NO RESPONSE FROM THE DEALER.

TAKATA RECALL - SO WHEN WILL THE FIX BE AVAILABLE? IN THE MEANTIME, I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A BOMB IN MY STEERING WHEEL? CAN WE HAVE THE AIRBAG DISCONNECTED UNTIL THE TAKATA REPAIR IS AVAILABLE? NO AIR BAG WOULD BE BETTER THAN ONE THAT KILLS THE DRIVER.

TAKATA RECALL....THERE IS A RECALL ON MY CAR DRIVER SIDE AIR BAG...DEALERSHIP STATES THAT CAR MANUFACTURER HAS NOT MADE PARTS AVAILABLE...THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SINCE EARLY 2016....NO ACCIDENT YET...IF I HAVE ONE I AND MY PASSENGERS WILL PROBABLY BE KILLED..IF THEY WONT FIX TJIS I WANT THEM TO BUY BACK THIS VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE.......

"TAKATA RECALL". I AM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AS I DO NOT HAVE EXTRA CARS LAYING AROUND. MY SON DRIVES THIS CAR. IT IS VERY SCARY TO ME THAT VW HAS HAD NO RECALLS DONE, WHY? OTHER MODELS HAVE HAD SOME CARS REPAIRED. I AM UNSURE OF THE DIFFICULTY WITH VW AND WHY THEY HAVE NOT HAD THEIR DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAGS FIXED. THERE IS NO TIMELINE ONLY A SUGGESTION TO "DRIVE THE CARE IMPACTED LESS FREQUENTLY". DOES VW OR TAKATA THINK EVERYONE JUST USES A CAR FOR EXTRA OR FUN. IF I HAD THAT KIND OF CAR, A FOR FUN CAR, IT WOULD NOT BE A VW PASSAT. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT WAS PRACTICAL AND SAFE. NOW I HAVE TO WORRY IF MY AIRBAG GOES OFF IT COULD KILL MYSELF, MY HUSBAND OR MY SON. I AM FRUSTRATED THAT WE ARE TOLD TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR SO MUCH AND THAT THEY CAN DO NOTHING BUT BY THE WAY... YOU COULD BE KILLED. IT IS STRESSFUL THAT YOU CANNOT SELL THIS CAR TO BE RID OF IT BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL. WHAT CAN YOU DO? WHEN WILL VOLKSWAGEN HAVE A FIX, WHY ARE THEY NOT FIXING ANY AIRBAGS YET? WE WERE NOTIFIED IN APRIL 2016 AND IT IS SIX MONTH LATER WITH NO UPDATE NOTHING.

A RECALL FOR THE FRONT DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS BEEN RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE. THE RECALL WAS POSTED ON FEBRUARY OF 2016 HAS THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT PROVIDED A REMEDY AS OF NOW. DUE TO THIS I AM NOT ABLE TO OBTAIN A CITY INSPECTION REQUIRED FOR MY VEHICLE WHICH IN TURN I AM NOT ABLE TO WORK. WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THE VW DEALER TOLD ME THE RECALL WAS FIXED PRIOR TO ME PURCHASING THE VEHICLE. I AM REQUESTING A REMEDY FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE IMMEDIATELY OR THE MANUFACTURER TO REPLACE MY VEHICLE THAT IS SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL. THIS VEHICLE IS FOR SALE AT A DEALERSHIP AND THE AIRBAG INFLATOR HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED YET. IT HAS BEEN SEVERAL MONTHS THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS WAITING FOR THE AIRBAG PARTS SO THE DEALER CAN REPLACE THE AIRBAG ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. I WAS INTERESTED IN PURCHASING THE CAR UNTIL I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE TAKATA RECALL AND THE AIRBAG HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. ACCORDING TO YOUR NHSTA STATEMENT, THE AIRBAG SHOULD BE REPLACED IN A TIMELY MANNER. THE SEATTLE DEALERSHIP IS STILL WAITING TO REPLACE THE AIRBAG WHICH MEANS IT IS NOT BEING REPLACED TIMELY. THEY HAD NO EXPECTED DATE FOR A NEW AIRBAG TO COME IN FOR REPLACEMENT.

TAKATA RECALL

TODAY I RECEIVED AN "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" FROM VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA INFORMING ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS THE SUBJECT OF SAFETY RECALL 23T3 - NHTSA: 16V171 RELATING TO IMPROPERLY ASSEMBLED WIRE SEALS WHICH CAN CAUSE THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) TO ILLUMINATE. SINCE THE MIL HAS RECENTLY ILLUMINATED IN MY VEHICLE I CONTACTED NAPLES VOLKSWAGEN IN NAPLES, FLORIDA TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED/REPAIRED PER THE SAFETY RECALL. I WAS INFORMED BY THE SERVICE WRITER, CHARLES, THAT I WOULD BE CHARGED $128.00 TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. I THOUGHT THAT THE MANUFACTURER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING VEHICLES WHICH ARE SUBJECT TO A SAFETY RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN MAY. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

" TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE AIR BAGS IN MY TWO VW'S FOR OVER A YEAR. I AM TOLD THAT NO ONE HAS THESE PARTS. IT IS PUTTING MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER IN DANGER. WHEN I SPEAK TO THE MANAGER HE ACKNOWLEDGES MY WORRIES BUT MINIMIZES THE RISKS. IF THEY EXPLODE MY DAUGHTER OR I COULD BE KILLED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE RISKS ARE MINIMAL. I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MORE THAT VW CAN DO, OTHER THAN OFFERING TO GIVE ME MORE ON A TRADE IN. WHEN THEY ADMIT THAT MANY OF THE CARS ON THEIR LOTS HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM. VW, AND I MEAN ALL OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS"MINIMAL" PROBLEM WILL CAUSE SOMEONES DEATH! INSTEAD OF A CHEAP FIX THEY WILL HAVE A HUGE LAWSUIT WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. NEVER, EVER BUY A VW!!! I BOUGHT MY VW'S FROM PRESTIGE VOLKSWAGEN MELBOURNE, FLORIDA. THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT HELP ME!

TAKATA RECALL- I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE IN APRIL 2016. I WENT TO THE DEALER AT THAT TIME AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL AFTER JULY 11, 2016. I JUST RETURNED FROM THE DEALER, WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES THAT AN INFLATOR RUPTURE CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALER, VOLKSWAGEN OF MURRIETA (CALIFORNIA), REFUSED TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR FOR USE UNTIL THE DEFECT IS REPAIRED.

TAKATA RECALL - VW STILL DOES NOT HAVE PARTS TO REPLACE THE TAKATA AIRBAGS.

TAKATA INFLATORS. CAR HAS NO VALUE UNLESS THIS GETS REPAIRED.

IT HAS BEEN 6 MONTHS AND THERE HAS BEEN NO REPLACEMENT AIRBAG FOR MY VEHICLE. THIS IS A LEASED VEHICLE AND IS CURRENTLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE APPROACHED THE DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA. V OF A TOLD ME TO "GO AHEAD AND DRIVE THE CAR". THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. TAKADA AIRBAGS HAD ISSUES BEFORE 2014, AND THE COMPANY STILL BOUGHT FROM THEM. THEY HAD TO HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE PROBLEM. I AM PAYING FOR A VEHICLE THAT I CAN NOT DRIVE
