36 Seats problem of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas

Failure Date: 07/17/2018

Recall 20ah is completely unnaceptable. There are 8 different possible repairs that fall under this recall. These repairs range from airbag software updates to sunroof repairs. How is it legal for them to combine these repairs? as a mechanic and a consumer it is bad for business as the various parts/ inspections neccessary make it nearly impossible to accomodate the repairs.

37 Seats problem of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas

Failure Date: 03/18/2018

The 2nd row does not lock easily. Upon sudden brake, the seat came loose and slammed into the back of the front seat. Nobody was sitting there at the time but if my child was in a child seat, she would have been injured very easily.

38 Seats problem of the 2018 Volkswagen Atlas

Failure Date: 01/22/2018

I have a 2018 Volkswagen Atlas that I purchased last 6/15/2017. Last January I took my vehicle to the dealership ( san tan vw) in gilbert to do the manufacturer re-call repair. The dealer repaired 1 of the 2 recall, but left the other one un-repaired because the part was not available. I contacted the dealership several times for the eta of the parts but no definitive answer, I also contacted vw America about the situation and same answer. ( no definitive eta ). The remaining re-call involves a passenger seat which the handle is broken, due to the fact that its broken, a metal handle was exposed . This could lead to a safety hazard (I. E. Finger being caught while adjusting the chair). I contacted the dealership to leave my vehicle in their facility while waiting for the parts and provide me with a rental, but I was denied. I feel like this case should be handled seriously as it involves safety, but vw and the dealership just keep saying to wait for the part and there is no eta for it. Vw Atlas is presently being manufactured here in the USA ( tennessee) , I also suggest to them that since its still being sold and manufacture, they can always take the part from the plant. But they refuse to do it and told me that its coming from germany (their vendor).
