Vw recall: 69bc, driver frontal airbag, NHTSA: 20v785 4/16/today I called local vw dealership, (southpoint Volkswagen, 13940 airline hwy. , baton rouge, la 70817, 855-498-0983) to schedule repair of this recall. Dealership service department informed me that they are only scheduling (1) recall repair per day and the soonest time I could schedule is 6/01/21 (@45 days). This seems very unreasonable given the potential danger/threat that this recall presents. Because the recall involves the driver's frontal airbag, the only (2) options available to the owner is 1). Continue to use the car, knowing the potential danger of "serious injury or death" it presents to self (& therefore passengers as well) or 2) in order to ensure my personal safety, I can "choose" not to use the vehicle (and do what? rent a car?!) second concern: the vehicle's speedometer (analog) spontaneously stopped working while the car was being driven @3months ago (1/03/21) for no apparent reason (car was not involved in an accident; no pot-hole, road hazard, unusual weather, etc. At the time that the speedometer stopped working or during recent use; & vehicle has been properly maintained. Since the car cannot pass louisiana's annual "safety sticker" inspection without a functioning speedometer, I will have to pay for this repair out of pocket. This seems to be a common problem with many vw cars.
Car stalls and looses power while driving. 3rd incident on car. Dealer and manufacture can't find any issue to repair.
