My passenger side airbag sensor all of a sudden is �broken� requiring a $400 repair. I don't really ever passengers in my car. Is this normal?.
Horn, steering wheel buttons, power steering and driver side airbag are not working as a result of a faulty clock spring.
Takata recall: I want to voice my concern over the policy of Volkswagen not to issue loaner vehicles to owners with the takata driver side air bags. After several phone conversations with a representative of their case management team (rcm), their conclusion is that it not a safety issue granting the need for them to issue a loaner vehicle. I disagree to the point that we are currently not driving vehicle because we do not feel safe. And to make matters worse, they could not tell me when parts are going to be available to fix it. I know several car manufactures have loaner programs for their customers with this issue. I think the NHTSA should have a policy that all car manufactures should have to issue loaner vehicles to their customers with this issue. To be clear, we have not had an air bag deployment with our vehicle, I just wanted the NHTSA to be aware of what car manufactures are telling their customers.
