Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2014 Volkswagen Passat

Takata inflators I found out today at the vw dealership where I leased my car that my vehicle is under recall for takata airbags. I have a month left on my lease, and I was going to purchase the car. The salesman told me that " there isn't a fix yet". What does that mean? vw never notified me of the recall. I am very concerned because it is the driver's side airbag in question. I am on the interstates every week as I am in sales. What recourse do I have except not buy the vehicle.

Takata recall - defective air bag inflator still in vehicle 2. 5 years after purchase. Puts at risk lives of driver and passengers. Immediate replacement needed.

Takata recall. This vehicle is for sale at a dealership and the airbag inflator has not been replaced yet. It has been several months that the dealership is waiting for the airbag parts so the dealer can replace the airbag on the drivers side. I was interested in purchasing the car until I found out about the takata recall and the airbag has not been replaced. According to your nhsta statement, the airbag should be replaced in a timely manner. The seattle dealership is still waiting to replace the airbag which means it is not being replaced timely. They had no expected date for a new airbag to come in for replacement.

Takata recall- I received a recall notice in April 2016. I went to the dealer at that time and was told that the parts were not available. I called again and was told that the parts would not be available until after July 11, 2016. I just returned from the dealer, where they told me that they still do not have the parts. The recall notice states that an inflator rupture can result in serious injury or death. The Volkswagen dealer, Volkswagen of murrieta (California), refused to provide a rental car for use until the defect is repaired.

A recall for the front driver airbag inflator has been recalled on my vehicle. The recall was posted on February of 2016 has the manufacturer has not provided a remedy as of now. Due to this I am not able to obtain a city inspection required for my vehicle which in turn I am not able to work. When I purchased the vehicle the vw dealer told me the recall was fixed prior to me purchasing the vehicle. I am requesting a remedy for this safety issue immediately or the manufacturer to replace my vehicle that is safe for me to drive.

I received a takata sii driver frontal airbag recall notice indicating the the driver airbag inflator could potentially rupture if the vehicle is involved in a crash which may result in serious injury or death. Vwoa does not have a solution or a replacement part for affected cars. I contacted my local dealership (santa barbara vw) and spoke to the service manager, steve ross about providing a loaner vehicle free of charge until the recall was resolved. The service manager refused to provide me a loaner and told me to call vw customer service. I spoke to eugene (5/18/16) @ vw customer service requesting a complimentary loaner (Honda is providing complimentary loaners) and he was not able to assist me. When I asked to provide evidence to support that the recalled takata airbag in my 2014 vw Passat was safe eugene at customer care was not able to confirm (asked him repeatedly) that the recalled airbag in my vehicle was safe even after I recited line by line, that the recall letter indicates that the takata airbag represents a safety hazard. I respectfully request that my local dealer provide me with a suitable loaner until this issue is rectified as it represents a clear and present safety hazard.

Takata inflators. I just received my recall notice from vw and here we go again with vw. I have a 2014 tdi, which is in litigation with the epa, value of the car has plummeted. Now I have this takata defect, which there is no fix by vw yet. Eleven people have been killed and they want me to continue to drive this loaded gun and make car payments. There is no ergency by vw based on the recall notice, since no vw's have been in an accident that the takata air bag caused a death per their letter, yet. What is your life worth???? lets play russian roulette. Want to play vw? I have a friend that had a 2014 accura SUV that had this takata inflators and her dealer called her in and made a great deal on a 2016, with no money exchanging hands, and keeping the same note balance and payments. What a dealership!.

Takata recall I was notified when I went in to get my 30,000 mile maintenance done that a recall would soon be out on my vehicle. After doing research online I realized it was on the driver side airbag, with the description " in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator could rupture with metal fragments striking the vehicle occupants potentially resulting in serious injury or death". After speaking with 3 different representatives for vw I have come to find out that my car airbag is under recall with no part to fix it right now, and no time limit as to when it will be fixed. One of these representatives went on to tell me he "highly doubts anything will happen". He can not guarantee my safety when I am on the road and I do not appreciate him thinking he can. I am outraged by this because I drive a minimum of 60 miles a day to and from work and I am 6 months pregnant. I absolutely do not feel safe driving and they have no alternative. I can not believe I am still paying on this vehicle when a part is recalled with no alternative fix for the problem. I know of other vendors who have offered rental cars to their customers who have this same issue. . . Why is this not an option for us? it should be.

Takata recall. I am a very concerned husband of a wife who drives a car affected by the takata inflator recall. Volkswagen ag is taking an unacceptable amount of time fixing the recall of an item that clearly is a life/death risk. I am disgusted by Volkswagen's lack of urgency with the issue. I want to know what my options are as the little consumer who spent hard-earned money to buy from a multi-billion dollar corporation.
