55 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 02/09/2016

Takata recall hello, it has been over a year now and I still can't have our airbag replaced because vw doesn't have a fix ready. I don't understand how it can take a year with a risk as serious as potentially sending lethal shrapnel at my 3-yr old daughters' sitting in the car with me. This is unacceptable and they need to be forced to correct this ASAP!!!!.

64 Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2015

Takata recall air bag fault light is on non-stop, a recall for airbag is issued, concerned that if airbag deploys I will be killed by the shrapnel. Car is not worth the repair to the airbag fault light, as the airbag it will deploy is dangerous. Vw of USA cannot help me. Can't sell the car as is. . . Too dangerous. Also a wandering electrical problem that causes doors to be unopenable from the outside. . . Never know which door or how many will not open. Today it is the driver's door. Have been paying on it, but haven't driven it (out of fear) since August '15. I owe $2045 on it. . . Want vw to buy me out and scrap it. Car woke up with the airbag fault light one day. Vw USA is very sorry for my problem, but no fix available/no buyout.

Failure Date: 08/20/2015

All power to my steering wheel including the horn, radio controls and airbag had gone dead. We called vw but they indicates it is not a problem. My 2012 cc was recalled for this issue. I think this is a wider issue than just ccs. The recall should be expanded to 2007 vw Passat wagons.

Takata recall I have contacted the vw dealer here in green bay, WI numerous times in regards to this recall.
