I have been waiting on vw to fix their pods system recall for 6 months now. Our front passenger seat flips between not registering the airbags when a passenger is present, so thinking that there is a passenger seated when the seat is empty. They still tell me there is no fix for the issue and the only thing I can do is not utilize the front passenger seat. This is absolutely obsured that it is taking this long to rectify this situation. I have a seat is unsafe and it does not appear there is any urgency on vw's part. 6 months with no fix is entirely too long.

Uknown. Due to NHTSA recall number 23v215 we are unable to use the front passenger seat of the car. This recall was reported March 29, 2023 and at almost 5 months has no remedy. Vw has failed to remedy this safety recall in a timely manner.

Passenger airbag issue has not been recalled. Advised not to drive car. How is this the solution? not every family has funding to own more than one vehicle or use alternative transportation. We rely on our car for transportation to/from work and school. The recall was issued more than four months ago and no estimate for resolution has been provided.

The transmission at low speeds, while accelerating makes a grinding noise.

I bought the SUV on 6-22-23 tried to get the recall fixed on 8-11-23 and according to Volkswagen the recall came out on 4-4-23. This means I was sold a vehicle with a known safety recall with no current fix as was not alerted. I bought the vehicle to earn a living by renting it on turo and they will not let it be rented with an open safety recall. I need to file a complaint.

My vehicle is part of the recall for the passenger airbag and the airbag light on the dash is illuminated. There is still no remedy available and it has been almost 3 months. I am unable to use my passenger seat and feel like a fix has not been made available in a timely manner.

Unrepaired recall. No repair plan available. Passenger airbag detection sensor may be faulty and not deploy air bag.

Front passenger seat airbag sensor not detecting someone sitting there.

The passenger side airbag has been switched off due to a fault in something. So if I have a passenger in my front passenger side and am in an accident, the airbag will not deploy which could cause a multitude of safety problems and possibly cause a fatality. I took my car in 6/15/23 to the dealership and they did confirm that my car was effected by this recall, however, they did not have a fix for it. My light indicating that the passenger airbag is off has been on for over a month. I have contacted Volkswagen and their response to me was "just don't put anyone in the front seat". That response is simply unacceptable when my family and friends lives are at stake. This is approximately the 10 safety recall on this vehicle.

I have a recall on my car that has no fix and they ask us to not let anyone sit in the passenger seat. I don't see how this is a very safe approach to the fix. If this is the case I think all these cars should be taken off the road and not driven. I have a husband that has been in an accident on the passenger side and almost passed away. I refuse to put him in a car that is not to par with air bags. These cars should be deemed unsafe and taken off the road. This is not the first recall that I have had to deal with and I think it is crazy to have a car that my husband can ride in the front seat. The first recall was back in March now this one which started in may.

Vw Atlas has been at vw service repair center since 5/2/23 to fix air bag light and abs warning signal. Last status (5/5/23) software errors were reported by service team, preventing car from being useable/driveable.

We received a recall notice in may regarding the passenger airbag and Volkswagen still does not have a solution yet.

This passenger seat sensor recall has been going on for almost a year that I should not have a passenger in my car????.

In may, I received notice of a defective airbag in the passenger side front seat of my 2019 Volkswagen Atlas. When I was driving and the malfunction occurred (an acoustic sound and "airbag off" lights), I followed the instructions on the recall notice and contacted my local dealer wellesley Volkswagen to have it evaluated. On 6/8/23 the car was evaluated and I was told by the service department there was no fix for the problem and no timeline for the fix. I was advised to stop using the passenger front seat, because there was a chance the airbag would not deploy in a crash. This is my only vehicle and I have two young children. I am also a caregiver for my very ill mother, who is on oxygen. To transport her, I arrange to use another vehicle so she can sit comfortably. I cannot risk her safety! this has caused me such stress my father tried to help me by calling wellesley vw, and he was told the only thing I could do was rent a car with my own money. I continued to get emails from wellesley vw and carfax this summer, reminding me about the recall. When I called the dealership this summer, I was told there was no fix and no timeline for the fix. I got an email from wellesley vw on September 1 about the recall, and I wrote back but got no response. Today 9/7/23 called wellesley vw service again, and was told there is no fix, not timeline for the fix, and there is nothing else they can do for me at this time. It has been 130+ days! today I called the attorney general of massachusetts and filed a consumer complaint against Volkswagen of America, inc. The airbag is one of the most important safety aspects of a motor vehicle. The fact that this has been going on for so long and there is no remedy is absolutely unacceptable.

11 months since recall and vw has no fix!! this is not timely and continues to affect passenger safety inthe vehicle! how can you get vw to remedy or force them to buy back vehicles at a fair price!!.

The front passenger air bag warning light has been coming on intermittently for over 6 months now. It first began on a 4-hour trip, chiming the whole 4 hours while a passenger was in the seat, unable to move to another seat due to occupancy. The vehicle was brought into the dealership and sensor was replaced. Since then, the warning has continued to come on intermittently and the vehicle was brought into the dealership 2 additional times with no fix. Being told by Volkswagen to have no one sit in the front passenger seat until a remedy is found is unacceptable especially for those who do not have a choice to not have that seat occupied.

Hi our front passenger airbag light keeps going in and out. I've called the Volkswagen care line the local dealer in south hills PA. No one was any help. I have 2 children in car seats 2 teenagers and mom and dad. We can't even take this car out anymore. This been going on for months now.

This car has an active recall on it since April, 2023 with no known remedy. In the meantime, I'm not supposed to have a passenger sit in the front seat. My lease is ending. I cannot buy the car from the dealer because they won't sell it with an open recall.

The manufacturer had communicated an potential failure of the passenger side airbag in April 2023. The issue will not alert me unless an occupant is in the passenger seat and there is a potential failure while in transit. This is high risk. No remedy is available and this is affecting my personal and work life, along with finances as I cannot drive with other passengers due to the risk of severe injury or death. Numerous complaints and requests were sent to the manufacturer (vw) but nothing has been done. This is a known safety issue and I should not be paying for a vehicle that is known to potential causes harm to my passengers.
