2007 Volkswagen Passat Airbags Problems

Your Volkswagen has a recalled Takata airbag that needs to be replaced, but you haven't been able to get it fixed because you live in Juneau, Alaska and the nearest repair shops are in Anchorage or Seattle, requiring expensive ferry transport. You've contacted Volkswagen multiple times over two years without getting a solution, and you're understandably concerned about safety if the airbag were to deploy in an accident. Resolving this will require Volkswagen to either provide a mobile repair service to your location, cover ferry and repair costs, or arrange an alternative solution for remote customers.

Your dashboard displayed an airbag fault warning even though your car wasn't in an accident. After visiting the VW dealer for diagnosis, the warning disappeared, but you weren't told the airbags were actually replaced or fixed. You may need to replace the airbags in the future if the problem returns.

Your car had two open recalls for the airbag and fuel system that were supposed to be fixed, but the dealership (Epic Motorsports in Rosemont, Illinois) did not complete the repairs while your vehicle was in their care. This means your car may still have the original safety issues that those recalls were meant to address. You should contact the dealership to have both recalls completed as soon as possible.

MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON AND THE AIRBAG IS MAKES NOISE THAT IS IRRITATING.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 18V247000 (AIR BAGS). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THELEN AUDI VOLKSWAGEN MAZDA (1112 NORTH EUCLID AVENUE, BAY CITY, MICHIGAN 48706, (989) 684-2980) AND SUBURBAN CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF TROY (1790 MAPLELAWN DRIVE, TROY, MICHIGAN 48084, (248) 585-8800) WERE MADE AWARE OF THE RECALL AND STATED THAT THE PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY IN 2017 AND BECAME MORE PREVALENT OVER THE COURSE OF ONE YEAR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 135,000. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

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.

VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2007 PASSAT WATER LEAK FOOTWELL THAT CAUSES PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DAMAGED : SUDDENLY AFTER A RAINY DAY, WATER COMES FROM SUNROOF TO THE PASSENGER SIDE FOOTWELL AND MADE CARPET WET AND STORES WATER BELOW THE CARPET. THAT CAUSED PASSENGER SIDE 'S AIRBAG MALFUNCTION RESULTS IN AIRBAG FAULT. I WENT TO THE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME IT HAPPENS WITH SOME VW CARS AND PLEASE GET YOUR CAR CHECKED FOR WATER LEAK. THEY TOLD THAT THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR NEITHER THE AIRBAG NOR THE WATER LEAK. I BELIEVE THERE WAS TOO MUCH WATER BELOW THE CARPET WHICH DIRECTLY PUTS THE INTEGRITY OF THE SAFETY IN DANGER SINCE IT THE ELECTRONIC PARTS AND WIRES WERE IN WATER FOR LONG TIME.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO INDICATE A REASONABLE TIME FRAME TO SUPPLY THE PART TO THE DEALER. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

WE HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM OUR LOCAL DEALER REGARDING A TIME SCHEDULE AS TO WHEN THE AIRBAGS WILL BE REPLACED EVEN AFTER REPEATED CALLS. WHAT HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH REGARD TO THIS RECALL AND REQUIRING THE VENDOR TO PROVIDE A TIMELINE?

TAKATA RECALL. THERE HAS BEEN NO ACTION TO REMEDY THE AIRBAG TO DATE. THERE IS NO WAY POSSIBLE TO NOT DRIVE THE CAR WHILE WAITING. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME RESOLOTION ON THIS MATTER. RENTAL OR REPAIR.

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?

TAKATA RECALL. THE RECALL WAS ISSUED IN FEBRUARY THIS YEAR, YET MY VW DEALERSHIP (WHERE I ROUTINELY GO FOR REPAIRS AND CHECKUPS) TELLS ME A REMEDY WAS STILL NOT AVAILABLE. I.E., I AM DRIVING A CAR WITH A POTENTIALLY LETHAL DEFAULT, WHICH IS KNOWN OF, YET THE MANUFACTURER IS EITHER UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO REMEDY ASAP? I AM EXTREMELY CONCERNED AND UNSURE HOW TO PROCEED.

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL HAS BEEN A YEAR OR SO ,AND NO EVIDENCE OF REPAIR IN SITE.

TAKATA RECALL. THERE IS NO TIMELINE FOR FIXING THE AIRBAG IN THIS CAR. I CAN'T DRIVE IT AND I CAN'T SELL IT. IT WAS RECALLED IN FEB 2016 AND THERE IS STILL NO TIMELINE FOR REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS AIRBAG NEEDS TO GET THESE FIXED.

TAKATA RECALL. IM WAS FINANCING THIS VEHICLE FOR MY BUSINESS, BUT NOW IM NOT ABLE TO UPGRADE THROUGH A TRADE DUE TO THIS RECALL. WHAT ACTION MUST BE TAKEN TO GET ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE?

IT'S BEEN ABOUT 3 MONTHS ALREADY AND I REALLY NEED A CAR FOR WORK AND SCHOOL, THE LEAST VOLKSWAGEN CAN DO IS KEEP US UPDATED ABOUT THE CAR, I'M EVEN THINKING ABOUT GETTING A NEW ONE. I JUST HOPE THEY FIND A SOLUTION FAST

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V079000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN MARCH OF 2016. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE US SPEC VEHICLE WAS REGISTERED IN GERMANY AT A US MILITARY BASE. AFTER CONTACTING VOLKSWAGEN, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE IT WAS NOT A U.S. SPEC. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT PREVIOUS RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN SATISFIED BY THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL - AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON - I HAVE 2 AIRBAG ISSUES AND HAVE ASKED VW TO ASSIST WITH RENTAL CAR AS LONG AS THEY CANNOT REMEDY A NEW TAKATA AIR BAG, AND DEALER INFORMS IT WILL BE MONTHS. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND VW AMERICA SEVERAL TIMES FOR ASSISTANCE FOR TEMPORARY CAR REPLACEMENT IF THEY CANNOT FIX THE TAKATA AIRBAG, VW AMERICA CALL CENTER DOES NOT HELP AND THEIR SERVICE CENTER IS SNEAKY TO RING MY CELL NO AND LEAVE NO MESSAGE TO DOCUMENT A RECORD OF CUST SERVIC- WITH NO SOLUTION. YET DEALER DID SAY ANOTHER CUSTOMER ASKED FOR RE-IMBURSEMENTS OF RENTAL CAR AND NOW VW REFUSES TO WORK WITH CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE RENTED CARS, THE PROBLEM HAS LEFT ME OUT OF POCKET FOR HUNDRED OF DOLLARS. ACCORDING TO VW AMERICA THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROGRAM ' THAT IS THEIR DECISION NOT TO HELP CUSTOMERS MANUFACTURE NEEDS TO PROVIDE. THIS IS COMPLETE NEGLIGENCE ON BEHALF OF VW AMERICA. HONDA IS COVERING THEIR CUSTOMERS.

TAKATA RECALL. A RECALL LETTER WAS SENT BY VOLKSWAGEN THAT THE AIRBAGS HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AIRBAG ISSUE. WE WOULD LIKE VOLKSWAGEN TO PROVIDE A RENTAL CAR FOR MY SON UNTIL THE AIRBAG ISSUE IS RESOLVED. THIS WOULD REDUCE THE POTENTIAL OF ANY RISK.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON AND REMAINS ON. UPON GOING TO A VW DEALERSHIP...I WAS TOLD "YA THAT MEANS THE AIR WON'T DEFLATE IF YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT". THEY NEVER WENT INTO THE CAR! I WAS TOLD FOR THEM TO RUN A TEST IT WOULD COST 125.00. I COULDN'T BELIEVE WHAT I WAS HEARING FROM A VW DEALERSHIP. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE RESOLVED WITH A COST TO THE CUSTOMER. I THEN WENT ON TO A GAS STATION...THEY HAD HAND HELD DEVICE THAT COULD DETECT WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. IT CAME UP AS DEFECT # 01217, SIDE AIR BAG IGNITER, DRIVERS SIDE(10199). THEY RECOMMEND TAKING IT TO CERTIFIED DEALER(WHICH I DID) AS THEY DID NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REPAIR. THE GAS STATION DID NOT CHARGE ME ANYTHING. SOMETHING IS VERY WRONG HERE!

"TAKATA RECALL" EVERYTHING WAS FINE JUST ANOTHER DAY WHEN I SHUT OFF MY CAR FOR THE NIGHT ALL OF A SUDDEN MY AIRBAG LIGHT DECIDES TO STAY ON WHEN STARTING MY CAR IN THE MORNING AND AFTER WORK IT SAYS AIRBAG FAULT ON DISPLAY AND LIGHT STILL ON.

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.

I WAS DRIVING HOME DOING 45MPH, WHEN MY PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYED. I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT OR ANYTHING ELSE THAT WOULD'VE CAUSED THE AIRBAG TO DEPLOY. *TR

AIR BAG FAULT INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED CONTINUOUSLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,850.

I WOULD LIKE TO BRING TO YOUR ATTENTION AN ISSUE THAT IS HAPPENING WITH MY 2007 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT 2.0T. THE CARS AIRBAG FAULT INDICATOR LIGHT IS ON INDICATING THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IF IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAD AN INDEPENDENT CAR MECHANIC INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THE AIR BAG FAULT IS INDICATIVE OF A BAD SENSOR. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH KEFFER VOLKSWAGEN IN HUNTERSVILLE NORTH CAROLINA TO ACCURATELY DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE ON 8/1/2014. I CALLED VOLKSWAGEN (703-364-7000) ON 7/25/2014 AND SPOKE WITH A CUSTOMER ADVOCATE TO FILE A FORMAL COMPLAINT AND ASK THEM IF THEY WOULD COVER THE COST OF THE REPAIRS. SINCE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE ISSUE HAS CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE HARNESS RECALL FROM 3 YEARS AGO I EXPECTED THEM TO COVER IT. (I HAD THE HARNESS REWIRED WITH THE NEW HARNESS AS A PART OF THAT RECALL.) VOLKSWAGEN TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE COST OF THE DIAGNOSIS OR REPAIRS DUE TO THE AGE OF THE VEHICLE. CASE # [XXX]. I HAVE CONCERNS BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS A BIGGER ISSUE AND NOT JUST A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR. I HAVE PROVIDED SOME SCREEN PRINTS OF OTHER VOLKSWAGEN OWNERS COMPLAINING OF THE SAME PROBLEMS. SEVERAL DRIVERS HAVE BEEN IN ACCIDENTS WHERE THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. DRIVERS ARE CONCERNED ABOUT THE AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING DURING AN ACCIDENT AND OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYING WHILE DRIVING. I ALSO HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A DESIGN FLAW / DEFECT THAT COULD LEAD TO A LARGER SAFETY RECALL. IF VOLKSWAGEN IS TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE SAME PARTS WILL THE ISSUES CONTINUE TO PERSIST? THIS IS DEEPLY CONCERNING, ESPECIALLY WHEN AN EMPLOYEE AT HUNTERSVILLE NORTH CAROLINA INFORMED ME THAT PARTS AND LABOR ARE ONLY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY FOR ONE YEAR AFTER THE REPAIRS. WILL I BE PAYING FOR THIS SAME REPAIR OVER AND OVER AGAIN? YOUR URGENT ATTENTION AND RESPONSE IS EXPECTED. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AIR BAG FAULT LIGHT CAME ON IN THE CAR, VOLKSWAGEN DEALER SAYS AIRBAG NEEDS REPLACED AND WE HAVE TO PAY FOR IT, WONDERING WHY WHEN ITS NEVER BEEN USED/ IN A WRECK? *TR

THE AIRBAG DEFAULT LIGHT WARNING IS ON ON THE DASH BOARD. I WAS TOLD BY VOLKSWAGEN DEALER THAT THE AIRBAG IS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDES TO BE REPAIRED, THEY SAID THAT IT WAS NEVER BEEN RECALLED. I AM JUST WONDERING IF THERE IS ANY PREVIOUS RECALL FOR THAT OR ARE THERE MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. WHEN THE PROBLEM STARTED, THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 72000 MILES. ALSO I NOTICED THAT MOST VOLKSWAGEN REPAIRS NEED TO BE DONE BY THE DEALER ( IT'S KIND OF MONOPOLY). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG FAULT WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 62,000.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2007 PASSAT 3.6L 4-MOTION WAGON AND HAD ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS FROM DAY 1 (LITERALLY), AND HAD THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE THE SENSORS UNDER BOTH SEATS WITHIN THE FIRST THREE DAYS. WITHIN A MONTH, WE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITORING SYSTEM. NEW TIRES FIXED THE TPMS ISSUE FOR ABOUT A WEEK, THEN WE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES AGAIN. A YEAR AFTER WE BOUGHT THE CAR, MY WIFE HAD AN ACCIDENT (REAR-ENDED SOMEONE), AND THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. WE HAD TO HAVE THE ENTIRE FRONT-END REPAIRED - $10,237 WORTH OF REPAIRS. AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED, THERE WAS SO MUCH EXTERNAL NOISE THAN THERE WAS BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. OVER THE NEXT 8 MONTHS, WE BEGAN HAVING ISSUES WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON (AND STAYING ON). WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF ONE DAY, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF (BUSY) TRAFFIC, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE REPAIR SHOP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT IT. THEY TOOK OUR 2007 PASSAT TO THE VW DEALERSHIP, WHICH MADE A BLANKET STATEMENT THAT NONE OF THE EXISTING ISSUES WERE RELATED TO THE WRECK. THEREFORE, THE REPAIR SHOP WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING MORE TO FIX THE CAR, AND SINCE THE CAR WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIRS EITHER. ON OCTOBER 29, 2012, 14 MONTHS AFTER THE ACCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN, AS IT HAD MANY TIMES BEFORE. HOWEVER, ON OCTOBER 30, 2012, THE ENGINE DIED COMPLETELY. WE'VE SINCE DISCOVERED THAT THE BEARINGS ARE COMPLETELY GONE AND WERE TOLD IT WILL COST US $7,000 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. BUT THAT STILL DOESN'T INCLUDE REPAIRS TO THE PREVIOUSLY EXISTING ISSUES WITH THE TPSM OR THE AIRBAG. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 50 MPH AND CRASHED INTO THE REAR END OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY AND THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. ONE PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE HEAD, NECK, BACK AND CHEST. THE POLICE WERE CONTACTED AND A REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND THE CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 75,000.

THIS PASSAT CONTINUES TO HAVE AIR BAG ISSUES. THE AIR BAG FAULT LIGHT HAS GONE ON MULTIPLE TIMES IN LAST 12 MONTHS. PER THE VW TECH'S, THE AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. THE AIR BAGS, WIRES, HARNESSES AND COMPONENTS HAVE ALL BEEN REPLACED. AT LAST VISIT TO VW, THEY STATED NOTHING ELSE CAN GO WRONG BECAUSE IT HAS ALL BEEN REPLACED. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY IN FOR SAME REPAIR. THE ABOVE DATE IS AN ESTIMATE. BUT, IT HAS BEEN SERVICED FOR THIS ISSUE BY CURRENT DEALER SINCE 8/11/11. *TR
