general problems of the 2007 Volkswagen Passat - part 1

I am filing a complaint in regards to Volkswagen failing to offer a solution to repair the takata airbag which was recalled. I have tried contacting vw numerous times over the past two years as I live in juneau, alaska, which is landlocked and the only option is to send the vehicle on a ferry to either anchorage or seattle, wa to have this repair completed. The vehicle has not been driven in years due to the fear of what could happen if there were an accident and the airbag deployed. Please help me resolve this issue as Volkswagen is not taking action on this.

The air bag fault message came on the dash. My vw Passat car was not involved in any accident. I took the car to vw dealer for the diagnosis for which I was charged. The air bag fault message is no longer there but I am sure my air bags have not been replaced. I have been advised that I may have to change the airbags in future.

Both recalls were not corrected when this vehicle was sitting at the epic motorsports dealership located in rosemont illinois.

Takata recall: I brought my 2007 Passat to kuhn vw in tampa, FL. At first they refused to fix the recall, because vw was coming out with another one in a few months and they wouldnt receive payment for the first one. I came back 2 months later in July 2018 and had the recall completed. I decided to drive the vehicle when I returned from work in oct 2018 and the horn and steering wheel buttons no longer work, the very next day, I get a airbag fault on the dash. I'm not sure, since kuhn never said, if the two were related. They wanted to charge me $129 for a diagnostic, which I refused and complained, then they did it for free and stated that its the clock-spring? I find it ironic that the clock spring would go out after installing this recall. Reading some of the other complaints which some have stated the same problem. Kuhn offered to replace the clock spring for $400+, which I cant afford.

We have been waiting on a list to get the airbag replaced. My car was involved in a rear end collision with air bag deployment, and car is considered a total loss and lucky no one was hurt. The car should not have been driven until it was fixed but that is not possible, I think vw should have at least offered a rental till it was fixed. Now I have a totaled car because of airbag deployment. The roads were wet and person in front of him got cutoff and slammed on my brakes and my car rear ended that car. There is a police report and insurance claims. I can send pictures upon request to a email address.

Takata recall.

Takata tecall I have contacted vw to schedule a repair for my takata airbags numerous times, and for months they have stalled me, giving me no answers, and no repairs. I have done everything that I can to try and get my vehicle repaired to safety, but vw refuses to comply with the recall.

Takata recall I contacted all local vw dealership for recall and was informed parts will not be available until September. I understand the overwhelming impact this is creating (production/delivery/installation) however I inquired as to whether there is any way to deactivate or turn off the airbag in the meantime (3+ mos) and was informed there isn't a way to do so. Now I'm afraid to drive my car. Is there no temporary "fix" to prevent from the airbag being deployed and potentially causing serious injury or death?.

First of all the tekata airbags are a recall. The fuel pump module. It all started woh phen the fuel pump modules failed and the car would turn on but turn right off and I was told it was the fuel pump modules when I had it diagnosed. Now it leaks out a lot of gas in four different spots under the car on passengers side. When we parked the car we started noticing this 4 months ago.

2007 Volkswagen Passat. Consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair airbag recall.

Takata recall we were first notified in April 2016 that the takata airbags in our 2007 vw Passatt "could potentially rupture. . . Metal fragments could pass through the airbag cushion material, which may result in serious injury or death to the vehicle occupants. " four months have passed and still there is no remedy available. It is not reasonable that Volkswagen does not issue an update as to when the remedy may become available. Consequently, we live in daily fear of a possible death by airbag malfunction. Today's NY times has a front page article detailing the money-based wrong decisions of gm to buy the takata product when experts in the field testify that the ammonium nitrate used in the devices is unstable over time. Deaths and injuries have resulted. When will we know about the availability of the replacement parts?.
