2012 Volkswagen Passat Airbags Problems

Your 2012 Passat is subject to a recall because the airbag may deploy unexpectedly due to temperature or humidity changes. When you brought your car in for the recall repair, the dealership informed you that the replacement airbags are on back order due to tariff delays, leaving your vehicle unsafe and unrepaired. You've previously had to pay out of pocket for airbag replacement when parts weren't available, and you're concerned that your safety remains at risk while waiting for this recall to be addressed.

You've tried multiple times to get your car serviced for an airbag recall, but Volkswagen says they don't have the necessary parts available due to tariffs. This means you can't get the recall work done, your vehicle registration may be suspended, and you're worried about your safety if the airbags don't work properly. Resolving this will require Volkswagen to obtain and install the recall airbag components.

You received a safety recall notice in December about a faulty driver-side airbag inflator, but two VW dealers have not scheduled or completed the repair despite your follow-up attempts since then. With your family relying on this car for daily transportation and young children on board, the delay is understandably concerning. Getting this recalled part replaced at a dealership is essential to restore your airbag's safety function.

Your car has been subject to a safety recall (NHTSA 24V834) for airbag issues, but the replacement parts are currently unavailable at dealerships. You've contacted two dealers and neither has an estimated delivery date for the parts needed to fix the problem. The repair will likely involve replacing or inspecting the airbag system components once parts become available.

You're concerned about an airbag recall on your 2012 Volkswagen Passat, but the manufacturer hasn't followed up on their promise to contact you about it. You believe this is an urgent safety issue that needs immediate attention because a faulty airbag could potentially cause serious injury or death. The fix will likely involve the manufacturer inspecting and replacing or repairing the airbag system as part of the recall.

Your vehicle has a recall for a faulty driver-side airbag that may deploy unexpectedly and cause serious injury. You've contacted VW and local dealers, but the replacement part is on backorder with no estimated availability date. VW has refused to provide you with a loaner vehicle or rental reimbursement while you wait for the repair. The fix will require replacing the defective airbag module once the part becomes available.

Your 2012 Volkswagen Passat has an active airbag recall (Campaign 24V834000), and your airbag warning lights are on. You've been waiting for the recall repair part to become available, but the dealer hasn't been able to complete the work yet. You feel the manufacturer has taken too long to provide the necessary replacement parts.

Your airbag warning light came on and stayed on. You received a recall notice about your airbags, but the repair part wasn't available yet from the dealership. You feel the manufacturer has taken too long to provide the necessary parts for the recall repair. The repair will likely involve replacing or reprogramming the airbag system once the correct parts become available.

Your 2012 Volkswagen Passat is subject to a safety recall (Campaign 24V834000) for the airbag system, but the required repair parts aren't available yet. You've contacted your dealer and confirmed the parts are on backorder. You feel the manufacturer has taken too long to provide these parts, though you haven't experienced any airbag problems so far.

You received a recall notice for your airbag system (Campaign 24V834000), but when you contacted the dealer, you were told that the parts needed for the repair aren't currently available. Your airbags haven't failed, but the recall repair hasn't been completed yet. You'll need to follow up with your dealer or Volkswagen to find out when replacement parts become available so the recall can be addressed.

After your airbag was repaired under recall, your airbag warning light started coming on and off intermittently. The dealer charged you for diagnostic testing but didn't actually diagnose or repair the problem. This likely means there's a wiring issue or sensor problem created during the recall repair work.

Your 2012 Volkswagen Passat is subject to a recall (Campaign 24V834000) related to the airbag system. The manufacturer has notified you of the recall, but the replacement part needed to complete the repair is not yet available. You've had to wait longer than you feel is reasonable for the manufacturer to make this part available, though you haven't experienced any airbag failure so far. The fix will require installing the recalled airbag component once the manufacturer makes it available.

Your air bag warning light came on while driving. The dealer told you they don't have the parts needed to fix it, and even though there's an official recall for this problem, the replacement parts aren't available. You've been waiting longer than expected for the repair to be completed.

Your 2012 Volkswagen Passat was subject to a recall for the airbag system, but the replacement part needed for the repair has been on national backorder for longer than a reasonable time. You haven't experienced an airbag failure yet, but Volkswagen has confirmed the part shortage. The repair will likely involve replacing the affected airbag component once the part becomes available.

Your airbag warning light came on while driving. Volkswagen issued a recall (Campaign 24V834000) for your vehicle's airbags, but the replacement parts needed to fix it aren't available yet. Your dealer confirmed the parts are still not in stock, and you feel the manufacturer has taken too long to make them available. The fix will require replacing the airbag components once the parts become available from the manufacturer.

Your 2012 Volkswagen Passat is under a recall for airbag issues (Campaign 18V148000), but the replacement part needed to fix it has not been available at multiple dealers in your area. You haven't experienced an actual airbag failure, but the manufacturer has taken longer than expected to get repair parts distributed to dealerships. The fix will likely involve replacing an airbag component once the part becomes available.

The manufacturer and their authorized dealer have been unable to fix this for me. VW Customer Care has no answers, and my local dealer (Southpoint Volkswagon) will not have the parts until May. Basically everyone is saying there's nothing to do but wait, while there's a part of my car that could explode causing injury or death.

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Passat. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V834000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Passat. The contact that the air bag warning light was illuminated, and the vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the clock spring was replaced under NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V483000 (Air Bags) in 2022; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that the air bag warning light was illuminated while driving. Additionally, the steering wheel made an abnormal click sound, and the horn was inoperable. The dealer was notified of the failure and charged a diagnostic testing fee. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 145,000.

My car has had previous airbag recalls and on 09/07/22 the airbag error is now populating on my dash and is tripping up other lights on dash. I believe the same airbag issue is reoccurring again and needs immediate attention to ensure drivers lives are safe and protected.

Error airbag message

This car has had the clock spring recall fixed a few years ago. The replaced part has since failed (confirmed by the same dealership that replaced it). Dealership indicates this is a free warranty repair but Volkswagen has had this part on backorder for 3 months now since I've had it looked at. How are they getting away with a recall part on backorder for such an extended period of time?

-I was parking my car in 95 degrees a hot day and an error air bag light came on on my 2012 Passat my car has never involved in a car accident I bring my car to the mechanic and it said passenger occupant detection system control module. -This is very risky to others because if the air bags fail I could have an accident I have 2 small child I don’t want my air bags deploy. This is the first time it happen to me before. 2 year ago the dealer replace a harness but the car under warranty am very scare that the air bags can deploy and have an accident.

Car needs new clock spring. When parking vehicle and turning, hear a crack sound and airbag light came on, horn wouldn't work and none of the buttons on steering wheel work. Part is backordered and has been for a very long time. Don't know what to do as this is my son's car (age 19) and it's unsafe to drive. Also, don't want to pay a dealer $165 to run diagnostics when we are certain of the problem and know the part is not available ( was told there are over 8000 people ahead of me waiting for the part). It is unlikely we could sell the car with this problem. VW needs to do something (buy back the cars?).

Back in August of 2015, there has been a repair/recall for the clock spring for Volkswagen Passats. I have had it fixed and it has a warranty on it until 2027. The part has failed 4 times with the most recent failure occurring at the beginning of April. The Volkswagen dealership has had the car since 4/7/2022 and I have been driving a rental that the dealership has been paying for. I received a call earlier today from the dealership telling me that they were having to release the car back to me by EOD 6/10 because the ETA for them receiving the part is unknown. This is incredibly unsafe that Volkswagen is having the dealerships release the cars back when the issue still has not been fixed. I understand that it’s not cost effective for them to keep covering the cost of rentals, but they should not be releasing unsafe vehicles back to their owners. I spoke to the general manager of the Volkswagen location my vehicle is currently at and the only really solution I was given is to have them evaluate the condition of the car to give me a trade-in value to buy a new vehicle, which I can’t afford right now. I understand that the manufacturer has issues but this seems like a huge liability and that Volkswagen does not seem to care about the safety of those who drive their vehicles.

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that the vehicle was previously included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V483000 (Air Bags) and the recall repair was completed. The contact stated the air bag warning light illuminated after the recall. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who confirmed that the previous repair had failed and the clockspring needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired a second time. The dealer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was no longer under recall. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 100,000.

The contact owns a 2012 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated while reversing out of a parking space at approximately 3 MPH and turning the steering wheel, she heard a loud clicking noise coming from the wheel. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated along with an error: air bag message on the instrument panel. Additionally, the contact stated that the horn ceased functioning. The contact had taken the vehicle to a local dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the clockspring needed to be replaced. The contact was advised by the dealer that the clockspring was on back order. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 275,000.

The Air Bag warning light turned on and i called the VW Queensboro dealership in Queens NYC. They told me they have the clock spring part to repair the open recall on my car. However, when i came in on August 31 2021 they inspected the car for 4 hours and then told me they don't have the part on hand. I returned to the VW Queensboro dealership on September 2nd 2021 to replace the clock spring. Within 6 weeks of the clock spring replacement, the airbag sensor turned on again. I scheduled an appointment at the VW Queensboro dealership on October 26 2021, and they replaced the clock spring again. In middle of March 2022 the air bag sensor turned on again, and i have an appointment at the VW Queensboro dealership on March 21 2022. In preparation for this appointment, the dealership told me that they do not have the clock spring in stock (appointment was scheduled over a week before the appointment itself) and they refuse to order the replacement clock spring until they do an inspection. This will lead to a 5th appointment to repair the clock spring, as well as forcing me to drive without an air bag for at least 2 weeks.

The clock spring that's located within the steering wheel with the airbag is defective. I just got it fixed in Nov 2021 and its broken again, and it now Jan 2022. Only 2 months it survived. Each time the dealership fixes the problem, its like they put a band aid on the issue and give it back. Its not fair that VM has these known issues with the airbag/ clock spring and the consumer has to PAY to fix the mechanical problem that was not caused by the owner.

My 2012 Passat was supposedly repaired under a recall action for the clock spring. However, same symptoms began to occur later in time and now it is apparent that the issue has not been solved and needs to be re-accomplished.

The airbag light came on, so I suspected the clock spring had gone bad. I looked up the information on the internet and it showed a recall for my model and year. after calling the dealer, they said i should have been notified, but now my car had too many miles for them to complete the repair as covered by the “recall”. My car has 140k miles and the "recall" has a limit of 120k. I decided to go ahead and purchase the part on my own to complete the repair, as this is my wife's car and her driving with no airbag isn't safe. Unfortunately, there are no replacement parts available, which begs the question... how many of these things are faulty? Apparently quite a few. I called VW customer service and noticed that their website touts how dedicated they are to customer safety and satisfaction. Top priority they say. This was disproven in short order. the customer service person, a nice young lady to begin with informed me that although all Passats use the same clock spring, my vehicles VIN doesn’t' fall under the actual recall, my vehicle was given an extended warranty up to 120k miles. It doesn’t' make sense to me, so i explained to her how i felt that was ridiculous and unfair, considering they know the part is faulty, however the pressing issue is my wife is driving a vehicle with no airbag and i cannot get a new part to replace it, to which she said VW is unable (i surmise unwilling), to help. If the part is so faulty that not a single dealer that i can find has one available to sell to me, how can the recall not include all vehicles with that part? I take great care of all my vehicles, which is likely why the part lasted longer than most. I just need a part to make my vehicle safe again. Any help getting VW to increase proproduction would be appreciated and with a faulty part, potentially discount the absurdly high price for those of us unfairly left out of the recall.

While driving at unknown speed airbag error light illuminated and horn and steering radio controls became inoperative. Diagnosed as clock spring broken which was replaced under previous recall. Estimated repair costs now estimated at $600 and not covered under warranty.

I purchased my Passat in Pasadena California. I now reside in Nevada. The closest dealer to me is Lithia Volkswagen of Reno 1050 E Plumb Ln #110, Reno, NV 89502. This is an hours drive for me. I have called and explained to this deal that I need my airbag recall fixed. Each attempt, I am advised that they will have to check on the parts and get back to me. They never do. How can I take car of my dangerous recall? I also have questions as to the logistics. Do I make a day of this? Would I be required to leave the car for long etc.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET, THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ACTIVATED IN MY VEHICLE. UPON REVIEW OF THE VEHICLE NO FUNCTIONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL ARE WORKING OR THE HORN. MY VEHICLE WAS RECALLED IN THE PAST DUE TO THE CLOCK SPRING NOT WORKING AND TAKEN TO GET FIX. THE SAME CLOCK SPRING ISSUE ARE OCCURRING AGAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LAKELAND VOLKSWAGEN (LOCATED AT 209 S LAKE PARKER AVE, LAKELAND, FL 33801, (863) 804-6160) TO BE REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V483000 (AIR BAGS). AFTER THE REPAIR, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED, THE HORN WAS INOPERABLE, AND THE STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS WERE INOPERABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE COULD BE DUE TO THE CLOCKSPRING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN JUST FINE UP UNTIL SATURDAY MORNING,12/1/2018 AT APPROXIMATELY 10:30. AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN I HEARD CLICKING COMING FROM MY STEERING WHEEL. MIND YOU I WOULD HERE THIS CLICKING HEAR AND THERE BUT FIGURED MAYBE MY STEERING COLUMN WAS GETTING RUSTY NOT KNOW IT WAS MORE SERIOUS UNTIL NOW. AFTER I PARKED MY CAR I RECEIVED AND AIR BAG ERROR. MY CAR WAS APART OF THE TAKATA AIRBAG INFLATOR RECALL AND I GOT THAT FIXED AT THE DEALER APRIL 2017. WHEN I CALLED THE VW DEALER NEAR MY RESIDENCE, THE SERVICE ADVISOR ASK I BRING MY CAR IN TO DIAGNOSE HOWEVER FROM THE SOUNDS OF IT, APPEARS TO BE A SPIRAL CLOCK SPRING ISSUE. OF COURSE BEING A FEMALE I HAD CONCERNS AND ASK SEVERAL QUESTIONS GOONG BACK TO THE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT TO SEE IF IT ALL TIED IN TOGETHER. THE ADVISOR ADVISED SINCE THE RECALL WAS A YEAR AND HALF AGO THIS IS A DIFFERENT ISSUE BUT AGAIN WOULD DIAGNOSE THE VEHICLE FIRST. HERE'S MY ISSUE. AS I REACHED MORE, I NOTICED A LOT OF COMPLAINTS AND INVESTIGATIONS RELATED TO THE CLOCK SPRING FAILURE. THERE WERE RECALLS BUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THAT IS A HUGE PROBLEM AND VERY CONCERNING AND POOR JUDGEMENT ON VW BEHALF. NOW I'M DRIVING WITH A POSSIBLE FAULTY AIRBAG THAT WAS NOT REALLY FIXED, MY HORN DOES NOT WORK, NOR ANY CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL. IN MY OPINION I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO COME OUT OF POCKET FOR SUCH REPAIR DUE TO THE LACK OF VW. VW ARE PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES AT STAKE. I'VE HAS ELECTRICAL ISSUES NOW THIS. NOT RELIABLE VEHICLES AT ALL. I HOPE SOMEONE CAN LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND ADDRESS IT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME!

VEHICLE WAS SERVICED SEPTEMBER 2015 FOR RECALL REGARDING DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING/ POOR CLOCK SPRING DESIGN. IT APPEARS THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A CLOCK SPRING COVER INSTALLED TO PREVENT DAMAGE. IT APPEARS THE CLOCK SPRING IS NOW FAULTY. VW DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED OTHER VEHICLES THAT HAD SAID SERVICES DONE NOTICED THE CLOCK SPRING MAINTENANCE PERFORMED IMPROPERLY, LEADING TO FURTHER DAMAGE. DEFECTIVE CLOCK SPRING WAS CONFIRMED BY THE DEALERSHIP. IT HAS BEEN A WEEK AND VW KEEPS DRAGGING THEIR FEET ON GIVING US INFORMATION ON WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO. WE HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INCONVENIENCED DUE TO THE FACT WE ARE DOWN TO ONE CAR. IF WE CHOOSE TO FIX THE VEHICLE NOW, VW WILL REFUSE TO REIMBURSE US. WE HAVE TO LEAVE THE VEHICLE AT THE DEALER AND WAIT FOR THEM TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO BEFORE WE CAN DO ANYTHING.

TAKATA RECALL. I TOOK MY VEHICLE INTO VW IN 3/2016 FOR THE RECALL. AT THAT TIME NONE OF THE CONTROLS ON MY STEERING WHEEL WERE WORKING AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ON. I WAS ADVISED THEY PUT A COVER OVER THE CLOCK SPRING AND ALSO REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING. FAST FORWARD TO 2018 AND THERES AN ISSUE WITH THE CLOCK SPRING NEEDING TO BE REPLACED AGAIN. THE DRIVER AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON AGAON, STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DONT WORKING AND TO ADD TO THAT NOW A CLICKING SOUND WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED. VVW SAYS IM OUTSIDE WARRANTY ON RECALLED PARTS AND I'M THE ONE THAT WILL BE OUT OF POCKET ON THE $700 REPAIR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY, THE AIR BAG INDICATOR ILLUMINATED WITHOUT WARNING. VOLKSWAGEN READING (2746 BERNVILLEE RD, LEESPORT, PENNSYLVANIA 19533, (610) 777-6500) STATED THAT THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 181-245-460. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V483000 (AIR BAGS). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 66,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF A 2018 HONDA ACCORD. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANY TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE DAMAGES HAD NOT BEEN DETERMINED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,298.

WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN FOR THE TAKATA RECALL, SERVICE DEPT. TOLD US THE CLOCKSPRING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AFTER BEING CHARGED MORE THAN $400, WE LOOKED INTO IT TO DISCOVER THAT IT HAD BEEN REPLACED UNDER A DIFFERENT RECALL IN 2016. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND THAT MANY OTHER VW OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING. WE'D LIKE TO BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF CUSTOMERS WHO DIDN'T RECEIVE ADEQUATE REPAIRS UNDER SAFETY RECALL #69L2, AND TO FIND OUT WHAT THE STATUS IS ON THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO THIS MATTER.

CLOCKSPRING FAILED 6 MONTHS AFTER I GOT IT FIXED UNDER RECALL. LITTLE NOISE COMING FROM STEERING WHEEL, AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, HORN AND ALL STEERING WHEEL CONTROLS DO NOT WORK.

STEERING WHEEL, UPON PARKING, MADE A STRANGE NOISE AND THEN WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A BREAK OF A PLASTIC CLIP. NOISE CONTINUED AS I TURNED WHEEL THE OTHER WAY. ERROR ON DRIVERS SIDE AIR BAG APPEARED ON DISPLAY AS WELL AIR BAG ICON APPEARING ON CONSOLE. IMMEDIATELY CALLED DEALERSHIP AND ASKED IF CAR SAFE TO DRIVE AND WAS TOLD TO BRING CAR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WAS ONLY 2 MILES AWAY SO I DID AND THEY WERE NICE ENOUGH TO LOOK AT CAR RIGHT THEN. TURNED OUT TO BE CLOCKSPRING WHICH HAD BEEN REPLACED IN FEBRUARY OF 2016, AN INITIAL RECALL OF CLOCK SPRING. SO NOW THE RECALL WORKAROUND NEEDS A WORKAROUND.

THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED UNDER A RECALL IN FEBRUARY 2017 BUT FAILED AGAIN IN MAY OF 2018. FROM WHAT I AM SEEING ON THE INTERNET THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON RECALL FAILURE WITH THIS VEHICLE. VW CUSTOMER CARE AND ITS WARRANTY DEPT WILL COVER THE COST OF A REPLACEMENT PART BUT NOT LABOR.

MY VEHCILE WAS RECALLED FOR A DEFECTIVE CLOCKSPRING. THE REMEDY WAS TO REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND INSTALL A SHIELD IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS OFF. MY VEHCILE DID NOT HAVE A LIGHT SO A SHIELD WAS INSTALLED OVER THE DEFECTIVE (BUT NOT YET FAILED) CLOCKSPRING. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE CLOCKSPRING HAS FAILED AND VOLKSWAGEN REFUSED TO REPLACE THE CLOCKSPRING PER THE RECALL. VW STATED THAT ONCE THE RECALL WAS PERFORMED, EITHER WAY, THAT IS IT COMPLETED AND THEY ARE NO LONGER RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. THE RECALL DOES NOT STATE THAT ONCE A SHIELD IS INSTALLED THAT YOU CAN NEVER AGAIN BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. I THINK THIS PRACTICE OF "SHIELDING" AGAINST THE FUTURE FAILURE OF A DEFECTIVE PART IS NOT SAFE OR FAIR. I THINK THAT A RECALL THAT HAS MORE THAN ONE REMEDY SHOULD REMAIN OPEN TO THE OTHER REMEDY IF THOSE CONDITIONS ARE MET.

TAKATA INFLATORS WERE CHANGED DUE TO RECALL IN JAN 2018. IN APRIL 2018 I HEARD A STRANGE NOISE & THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON. THEN I REALIZED THAT ONLY INFO SHOWING ON MY PANEL WAS THE PHONE HOOKUP, ALONG WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT. I CHECKED THE HORN & THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. AFTER CHECKING FUSES WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP & MADE AN APPT TO HAVE IT CHECKED. WE ARE TOLD IT IS THE CLOCKSPRING THAT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. COST IS OVER $500. WE CALLED VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER SERVICE & THEY STAYED WE HAD THE CLOCK SPRING REPLACED IN 2016 UNDER A RECALL. HOWEVER WE HAVE NO RECOLLECTION OF THIS BEING DONE. THIS NOISE & THEN THE CLICKING & OTHER ISSUES CONNECTED TO THE CLOCK SPRING HAPPENED AS I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT IN A SHOPPING AREA. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS BEING THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD NOT DEPLOY IF & WHEN NEEDED. ALSO I WAS ALMOST HIT BY A VEHICLE THAT DECIDED TO BACKUP WITHOUT LOOKING & I COULDN'T USE MY HORN TO WARN THE OTHER DRIVER. THANK GOD HE REALIZED WHAT HE WAS DOING. AS FOR THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THEY REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING IN MAY OF 2016, MY QUESTION IS WHY WAS THAT REPLACED THEN & NOT THE AIRBAGS? ALSO, BEING THERE WAS RECALL ON THE AIRBAG & IT WAS BEING DONE, WHY DIDN'T THEY REDO THE CLOCK SPRING. I LOVE THE PASSAT BUT I DON'T WANT TO GET IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF SHODDY WORKMANSHIP! I NOTICED A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CLOCK SPRING & WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY YOU ARE NOT TAKING CARE OF THIS ISSUE? I FEEL THAT VOLKSWAGEN IS HAVING ITS CUSTOMERS PAY FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL LABOR BEING THAT THE CLOCK SPRING GOES BAD SHORTLY AFTER REPAIRS ARE DONE TO THE RECALLED AIRBAG.

CLOCK SPRING WAS CHANGED IN 2016 AND TAKATA RECALL AIRBAG WAS CHANGED IN MARCH. AFTER THE AIRBAG WAS REPLACED I HEARD CLICKING NOISES WHEN TURNING MY STEERING WHEEL AND NOW MY AIRBAG ERROR LIGHT IS ON. MY HORN DOESNT WORK AND MY BUTTONS TO CONTROL RADIO DO NOT WORK. I BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THE TAKATA RECALL WAS DONE AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT WITH OPEN BROKEN CLOCK SPRING AND POWER STEERING GEAR BROKEN. THEY DO NOT WANT TO TAKE RESPONISBILITY FOR THE CLOCK SPRING SINCE IT WAS CHANGED IN 2016. I HAVE MADE A CASE WITH VOLKSWAGEN AGAINST THIS PARTICULAR DEALERSHIP.

STEERING WHEELING CLOCK SPRING HAS FAILED FOLLOWING RECALL REPAIR, VOLKSWAGEN REFUSES TO COVER, QUOTED ME $1,500.00

WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, I HEARD A LOUD POP COME FROM THE STEERING WHEEL COLUMN. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING, AN ALARM CAME UP FOR "AIRBAG ERROR". ALSO, ALL OTHER FUNCTIONALITY ON MY STEERING WHEEL WAS DISABLED, INCLUDING THE BLUETOOTH ACCESS, RADIO BUTTONS, ETC. I CONTACTED MY VW DEALERSHIP (BOUCHER VW IN RACINE, WI) AND THEY STATED THAT THE ISSUE WAS THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING AND THAT THE AIR BAG IS NOT FUNCTIONAL IF THIS ALARM IS ACTIVE. I ASKED IF THIS WAS COVERED AS A PART OF THE RECALL (I BELIEVE THE RECALL NUMBER IS 15V-483) AND THEY STATED IT WAS NOT AND THAT THE ESTIMATE FOR THE REPAIR WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $550. I ASKED WHY THIS WAS NOT COVERED AS A PART OF THE RECALL BUT WAS NOT PROVIDED AN EXPLANATION. I WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THIS QUESTION WHEN I TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

TAKATA RECALL SAW NO EVIDENCE OF AIRBAG ISSUES PRIOR TO TAKATA AIRBAG CORRECTION GOING DONE BY DEALER. MONTHS LATER, THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON AND ELECTRONIC CONTROLS IN STEERING WHEEL NOT FUNCTIONING. NOTICED THE LIGHT COME ON WHILE IN MY DRIVEWAY

THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2012 PASSAT ON 8/4/15 FOR THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING, WHICH PROVIDES POWER TO THE AIRBAG. THE RECALLED PART WAS REPLACED ON OUR VEHICLE IN JAN. 2016, IT WENT OUT AGAIN IN DEC. 2017 AND NOW THE MANUFACTURER SAYS IT IS NOT COVERED AS THE PART IS ONLY WARRANTIED FOR 1 YEAR. REALLY?? YOU REPLACED ONE JUNK PART WITH ANOTHER ONE AND NOW WON'T STAND BEHIND IT. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THERE IS AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAG DOESN'T DEPLOY WHILE MY 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IS DRIVING THE CAR. REALLY SAD WAY OF DOING BUSINESS, THIS REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE HORN WAS OPERABLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTOBARN VOLKSWAGEN OF MT. PROSPECT (333 W RAND RD, MT PROSPECT, IL 60056 (847) 392-6300) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FRACTURED CLOCK SPRING THAT NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DEALER ORDERED THE PARTS WHILE AWAITING REPAIRS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS), BUT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V483000 (AIR BAGS). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL OR WARRANTY FOR THE CLOCK SPRING. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,300.

TAKATA RECALL. I HAD THE AIRBAG REPAIR DONE UNDER THE ORIGINAL RECALL. THE REPAIR FAILED CAUSING THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE AND ALL OF THE DEVICE CONTROLS ON THE STEERING WHEEL TO STOP WORKING, SO I BROUGHT IT TO THE VW DEALER TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NOT COVERED BY THE ORIGINAL RECALL AND THE REPAIR COST ME OVER $500. I DID CONTACT VW DIRECTLY AS DID THE SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE REPAIR...WE WERE BOTH TOLD THAT THE REPAIR WAS NOT COVERED.

TAKATA RECALL NOT REPAIRED

RECALL WAS ISSUED FEB 2016, DEALER SAYS NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR. CAR IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS!

TAKATA RECALL: I PHONED VW CUSTOMER CARE ON 08/10/2016 REQUESTING A RECALL LETTER BUT NEVER RECEIVED IT. I REPORTED THIS TO JONATHAN BRADLEY/HALLMARK VW USED CAR SALESMAN. I REPORTED TO GOSSETT VW SERVICE AGENT JEFF WHO SAID MY RECALL DATE WAS 09/30/2017. 08/25/2017 AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT FLASHED THIS ONE TIME. THE LOW TIRE INDICATOR CAME ON 09/13/2017 SO I DROVE TO GOSSETT TO HAVE MY TIRES INFLATED.

TAKATA RECALL. PURCHASED A 2012 VW PASSAT ON 08/07/2015. WAS NOT AWARE OF THE RECALL UNTIL THE SALESMAN MADE A FOLLOW-UP COURTESY CALL TO ME ON 08/08/2016. HE WAS ADVISED I NEVER RECEIVED A LETTER. I PHONED VW CUSTOMER CARE, VERIFIED MY ADDRESS AND REQUESTED A LETTER FROM THEM AFTER RENEWING MY REGISTRATION BUT NEVER RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER TO THIS DAY. AUGUST 25, 2017 THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. SEPTEMBER 13, 2017 THE LOW TIRE INDICATOR LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO GOSSETT VW, HAD THE TIRES INFLATED AND WHEN I DROVE THE VEHICLE TWO DAYS LATER THE ABS/TRACTION CONTROL/TIRE PRESSURE/ AND SEATBELT LIGHTS WERE CONTINUALLY FLASHING. I SPOKE TO AN ADVOCATE VIA CHAT ON VW'S SEB SITE. SHE AUTHORIZED THE AIRBAG REPAIR ON 09/22/2017. I PAID APPROXIMATELY $341.00 TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM WITH THE WARNING LIGHTS BUT TO DATE, 09/27/2017 THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT RESPOND TO MY COMPLAINT AND THE FILE WAS CLOSED ON 09/25/2017. I PHONED CUSTOMER CARE EARLIER TODAY, WEDNESDAY, 09/27/2017 AND REOPENED THE CASE. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAD 38,415 MILES ON IT. THE REPAIR REPORT ACCORDING TO SERVICE AGENT J.O. CLAIMED THEY FOUND A SHORT TO THE PASSENGER OCCUPANT SENSOR CAUSING THE ABS LIGHT, TIRE LIGHT, AND TRACTION LIGHT. CORRECTION: REPAIRED SHORT AND CLEANED RIGHT REAR SPEED SENSOR AND BEARING. ON 09/22, THE BOTTOM DRIVER TAKATA AIRBAG WAS PERFORMED. NOT ONLY ARE THE SAME LIGHTS ALARMING EACH TIME I TURN ON THE VEHICLE, BUT THIS MORNING THE ESP ERROR LIGHT FLASHED. VW CUSTOMER CARE WAS ADVISED AND REOPENED THE COMPLAINT. FOLLOWING THE SERVICE VISIT I DISCOVERED A BROKEN PART WITH VW # 8E0.881.348.E ON THE RIGHT FLOOR MAT OF THE CAR. THIS IS ALARMING. I WAS ADVISED AN ADVOCATE FROM VW CORPORATE SHOULD BE CALLING ME IN RESPONSE TO THIS HORRIFIC ORDEAL. THESE INCIDENCES OCCURRED 2 WEEKS AFTER THE CERTIFIED PRE- OWNED WARRANTY EXPIRED. NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE BEFORE THIS. I AM A SENIOR CITIZEN WHO IS EXTREMELY ALARMED WITH THIS MATTER.

TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL INCOMPLETE STILL WAITING FOR REPAIR/REPLACEMENT

TAKATA RECALL HELLO, I HAVE BEEN CONTACTING VW FOR A WHILE NOW TO REPAIR MY AIRBAGS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR. I RECEIVED THE FIRST NOTICE THAT THE AIRBAGS WERE UNDER RECALL, BUT NOTIFIED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. I ASKED FOR A LOANER CAR AND I WAS REJECTED. I ALSO ASKED FOR VW TO BUY BACK MY VEHICLE AND I WAS ALSO REJECTED. IN MARCH 2017, I RECEIVED AN ANOTHER NOTICE ASKING ME TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT WITH MY DEALER TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED ASAP. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT AND I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS IN STOCK AND THEY CANNOT SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR ME. I CALLED VW BACK AND TOLD THEM ABOUT MY CONCERN, I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY CAR AND I CANNOT SELL IT BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO PURCHASE IT DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT THE VEHICLE. VW TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP. NO LOANER CAR AND NO REPURCHASE. I ASKED WHAT SHOULD I DO SINCE AN 18 YEAR OLD DRIVES THIS CAR AND YOU ARE STATING THAT IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, THE RESPONSE WAS, GIVE US A CALL IF ANYTHING HAPPENS. THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID THAT EVERYTHING IS IN ACCORDANCE TO NHTSA GUIDELINE. CAN YOU PLEASE HELP ME?

"TAKATA RECALL" I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS AIRBAG SAFETY ISSUE AND REACHED OUT TO VW AND SPOKE TO A CARE AGENT WHO TOLD ME THAT THERE'S NOTHING THEY WILL DO ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THIS IS THE POSITION IN WHICH THE COMPANY STANDS. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR CHOOSING THIS VENDOR AND THAT EVERYONE DRIVING VW VEHICLE BE REIMBURSED FOR MONEY BEING SPENT ON A FINANCED VEHICLE OR VEHICLE THEY HAVE PURCHASED THAT'S BEING AFFECTED. WE BUY CARS THAT FIT OUR PERSONAL NEEDS. FAMILY SIZE, GAS SAVER ETC. WE ALREADY TAKE A RISK IN DRIVING ANYWAY SO WHY SHOULD WE BE TOLD TO WAIT UNTIL THE THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED KNOWING WHAT THE POTENTIAL OUTCOME COULD BE. IF THE SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE WERE AS HIGH AS THEY INTEND US TO BELIEVE THEN THIS ISSUE WOULD BE RESOLVED BY NOW REGARDLESS HOW MANY AFFECTED. IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO MONEY WITH THE PEOPLE BEING SECOND. I DON'T FEEL SAFE NOR DO I FEEL MY FAMILY IS SAFE DRIVING A VW VEHICLE KNOWING SUCH HAZARD EXIST. TO BE TOLD THERE'S NO ONE ELSE TO SPEAK TO AFTER YOUR CONCERN HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY A CASE MANAGER JUST WON'T DO. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED NOW WHILE PEOPLE CAN AFFORD THE CONCERN. NO ONE SHOULD BE INJURED DUE TO A VEHICLE MALFUNCTION. VW AS WELL THE OTHER AUTO MAKERS NEED TO BE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS POOR CHOICE IN VENDOR SELECTION AND DO WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE CONSUMERS OF THEIR PRODUCTS.

TAKATA RECALL. VOLKSWAGEN DEALER ADVISED THEY CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THE PROPER PARTS. I WAS ADVISED TO CALL BACK IN "3-6 MONTHS", DESPITE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE RECALL AND THE POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING RISK.

TWO OF OUR LOCAL VW DEALERS HAS INFORMED US THAT NHTSA IS CONTROLLING THE ALLOTMENT NUMBER DISTRIBUTION OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS. ONE DEALER INFORMED MY HUSBAND 3 - 4 A MONTH ARE BEING ISSUED. A SECOND DEALER TOLD ME 5 A MONTH ARE BEING ALLOTTED. MY HUSBAND & I BOTH CALLED VW 248-754-5000. TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS TO CUSTOMER SERVICE WE WERE TOLD THAT NHTSA WAS CONTROLLING THE DISTRIBUTION NUMBER AKA ALLOTMENT NUMBER OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS PER DEALER. I WAS DENIED THE RIGHT TO SPEAK TO UPPER LEVEL LEADERSHIP AT VW. WE SPOKE TO LIBBY AND CORY. WE ARE IN HOUSTON AREA 3 MILLION PLUS POPULATION. WE WERE ALSO INSTRUCTED BY DEALER THAT WE NEEDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO BRING OUR CAR IN FOR AIRBAG INSPECTION AND PART VERIFICATION WHICH INVOLVED DISMANTLING OUR VEHICLE TO CHECK IF REPLACEMENT WAS NECESSARY AND IF SO WE WOULD BE PLACED ON A LIST WHICH WE MAY OR MAY NOT BE CALLED THAT AIRBAGS SHOWING STRESS WOULD BE REPLACED. THE OTHER DEALER TOLD MY HUSBAND NO AIRBAGS IN HOUSE AND ONLY 3-4 A MONTH WERE BEING ALLOTTED. VW STATES ONLY VIN, MAKE AND MODEL NUMBER ARE NECESSARY FOR REPLACEMENT. IN OUR CASE 2012 PASSAT IS IN QUESTION. VW HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE DISMANTLING AND SELECTIVE, PRIORITY REPLACEMENT OF AIRBAGS. IS IT TRUE THAT DEALERS IN HOUSTON AREA ARE BEING DISTRIBUTED A VERY LIMITED NUMBER (SINGLE DIGIT) OF REPLACEMENT AIRBAGS AT THE DIRECTION OF NHTSA IN THE HOUSTON 3 MILLION PLUS POPULATION METROPLEX? IS IT TRUE NHTSA IS CONTROLLING THE DISTRIBUTION NUMBER TO EACH DEALER? IS IT TRUE THAT ONLY AIRBAGS SHOWING STRESS WILL BE REPLACED? YOUR TIMELY RESPONSE IS REQUESTED.

"TAKATA RECALL" MY VEHICLE'S DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AS PART OF THE RECALL. I CONTACTED A VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR MY VEHICLE UNTIL I RECEIVE THE OFFICIAL LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN. THEY ALSO STATED THAT GIVEN THE MAGNITUDE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HOW MANY VEHICLES NEED AIRBAGS REPLACED, THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHEN I WILL BE ABLE TO GET MY VEHICLE FIXED. THEY INDICATED THAT THEY ARE FIXING VEHICLES IN HIGH PRIORITY ZONES FIRST. HOWEVER, JUST LAST MONTH GOT AROUND TO SENDING OUT LETTERS TO ALLOW VEHICLES TO BE REPAIRED EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED A YEAR AGO. IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE VEHICLE IS PRESENTLY REGISTERED IN A LOW PRIORITY ZONE. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT IT WAS PURCHASED IN A HIGH PRIORITY ZONE AND WAS DRIVEN THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS. I CAN NOT TURN THIS CAR INTO A DEALERSHIP FOR A DEALER TRADE IN AS DEALERSHIPS DO NOT ACCEPT VEHICLES WITH RECALLS. I CAN SELL IT IN THE STATE OF CO INDEPENDENTLY, HOWEVER, WHO WOULD WANT TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE WITH A RECALL ON IT, THAT HAS NO TIMELINE AVAILABLE AS TO WHEN IT CAN BE FIXED. I FEEL EXTREMELY NERVOUS WITH MY 19 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING AROUND IN A CAR THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HARM OR WORSE KILL HER. I FIND IT UNACCEPTABLE THAT VOLKSWAGEN CAN NOT EVEN PROVIDE US WITH A DATE IN THE FUTURE THAT THEY CAN FIX THE CAR. I CAN'T EVEN TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR A TRADE IN BECAUSE DEALERSHIPS WON'T TAKE CARS THAT HAVE RECALLS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN FIXED,

TAKATA RECALL IN APRIL 2016 I RECEIVED NOTICE FROM VW OF THE TAKATA RECALL. IT IS NOW FEB 2017. I HAVE HEARD NOTHING FROM ANYONE IN 10 MONTHS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I CALLED VW AND THEY IN EFFECT SAID NOTHING IS BEING DONE YET. THEY EVEN SAID NO MANUFACTURER HAS DONE A REPAIR. YOUR SITE SAYS 10 MILLION CARS HAVE BEEN FIXED ALREADY. SOMETHING IS CERTAINLY WRONG WITH THIS LACK OF PROGRESS BY VW, ESPECIALLY FOR THIS DANGEROUS AIRBAG PROBLEM. NHTSA MUST PRESSURE VW TO GET OFF THEIR ASSES. THERE IS AT LEAST IGNORANCE, BUT MORE LIKELY LYING, AT ALL LEVELS OF VW. AFTER 10 MONTHS I BELIEVE MY CAR SHOULD BE REPAIRED. JUST BECAUSE TAKATA IS JAPANESE AND VW IS GERMAN IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE EXCUSE. DO YOUR JOB!!

TAKATA RECALL, I WENT TO DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS YET, I EVEN OFFERED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND THEY DID NOT WANTED TO DO IT.

I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE VOLKSWAGEN PAY ME BACK THE MONEY I SPENT ON THIS CAR, SINCE THEY HAVE NOT FIXED IT AND DO NOT OFFER ANY ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION, AND MY RESELL VALUE OF THIS CAR IS ALSO REDUCED BECAUSE NO ONE WANTS TO BUY A CAR WITH A RECALL THAT CAN KILL YOU THAT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I CALLED VW CORPORATE FOR HELP, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD DO NOTHING, AND THAT I SHOULD STAY IN THE VEHICLE AND KEEP DRIVING IT DESPITE THE RISK OF DEATH. I WANT THIS FIXED, OR A LOANER/RENTAL CAR TO BE PROVIDED TO ME AT NO COST BY VOLKSWAGEN SO I DON'T HAVE TO DRIVE RISKING DEATH, OR I WANT VOLKSWAGEN TO BUY BACK MY CAR FOR FULL PRICE BECAUSE THIS IS ALL THEIR FAULT! *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" WHAT TO DO TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM?

"TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL", I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET THE AIR BAGS IN MY TWO VW'S FOR OVER A YEAR. I AM TOLD THAT NO ONE HAS THESE PARTS. IT IS PUTTING MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTER IN DANGER. WHEN I SPEAK TO THE MANAGER HE ACKNOWLEDGES MY WORRIES BUT MINIMIZES THE RISKS. IF THEY EXPLODE MY DAUGHTER OR I COULD BE KILLED. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE RISKS ARE MINIMAL. I DO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING MORE THAT VW CAN DO, OTHER THAN OFFERING TO GIVE ME MORE ON A TRADE IN. WHEN THEY ADMIT THAT MANY OF THE CARS ON THEIR LOTS HAVE THE SAME DANGEROUS PROBLEM. VW, AND I MEAN ALL OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS SHOULD BE VERY CONCERNED THAT THIS"MINIMAL" PROBLEM WILL CAUSE SOMEONES DEATH! INSTEAD OF A CHEAP FIX THEY WILL HAVE A HUGE LAWSUIT WORTH MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. NEVER, EVER BUY A VW!!! I BOUGHT MY VW'S FROM PRESTIGE VOLKSWAGEN MELBOURNE, FLORIDA. THEY SAY THEY CAN NOT HELP ME!

I FEEL THEY ARE JUST STALLING. I DID SPEND $726.40 ON AN AUTO TRAIN WHEN I FIRST HEARD ABOUT THE RECALL BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR. I FEEL VW HAS NO INTENTION TO REPAIR THE CAR.

TAKATA RECALL...VW SAYS THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART TO FIX THIS BUT THEY WANT TO GET PAID ON THEIR LEASE BUT THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. WHY CAN'T YOU GET THEM TO FIX THIS, MY LEASE WILL BE OVER BEFORE WHEN I WON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THIS BUT SOMEONE ELSE WILL.

TAKATA RECALL I AM IN UPPER MANAGEMENT WITH ENTERPRISE RENT A CAR AND I HAVE PERSONALLY WORKED WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DROPPING THEIR CARS OFF AT THE HONDA DEALERSHIPS BECAUSE THEY ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE LISTENED TO THE STORIES OF THE 12+ DEATHS THAT HAVE OCCURRED FROM THESE AIRBAGS FROM THE MOUTHS OF PEOPLE WHO ARE SO THANKFUL TO GET A SAFE RENTAL CAR UNTIL THEIR CAR CAN BE FIXED. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH GM'S AT THE DEALERSHIPS ABOUT THIS RECALL AND I TRULY UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE AND THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS SITUATION. YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW SHOCKED I WAS TO FIND OUT THAT NOT ONLY WAS MY WIFE'S VW A PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL BUT THAT VW WAS NOT PROVIDING LOANER CARS FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS WITH EFFECTED VEHICLES. I ESSENTIALLY RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL THAT SAID "YOUR CAR HAS A GRENADE IN THE STEERING WHEEL THAT COULD KILL YOU. WE CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE A WAY TO FIX THIS BUT WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE DO. KEEP DRIVING UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM US." WHEN I CALLED VW CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FIND OUT HOW ON EARTH THEY COULD JUSTIFY NOT PROVIDING SAFE TRANSPORTATION LIKE THE OTHER AUTO MANUFACTURERS WERE I WAS TOLD THAT NO ONE HAS DIED IN A VW YET, THEY HAVE ALL BEEN HONDAS. ESSENTIALLY THEY ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THEY BITE THE BULLET AND FOOT THE BILL FOR SAFE REPLACEMENTS? I THINK IT'S CLEAR THAT VW IS ROLLING THE DICE AND TRYING TO AVOID ANOTHER MASSIVE EXPENDITURE WHILE IT'S STILL REELING FINANCIALLY FROM ITS EMISSIONS SCANDAL.

THE MANUFACTURE REFUSES TO PROVIDE A LOANER FOR OUR VEHICLE. THEY SAID THAT IT IS PERFECTLY SAFE TO DRIVE. HOW CAN SOME MANUFACTURES PUT OTHER CUSTOMERS IN LOANERS BECAUSE OF THE SAME RECALL AND TELL THEM NOT TO DRIVE AND OTHERS SAY ITS NOT A BIG DEAL. I DO NOT TRUST VOLKSWAGEN SINCE WE WERE ALSO AFFECTED BY THEIR EMISSIONS RECALL. CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY AND WHAT THE NEXT STEP SHOULD BE. WE DID HAVE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET ALL RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE ADDRESSED AND TO GET PARTS ORDERED. AT THIS POINT RECALL NOTICES ARE LIKE MONTHLY STATEMENTS.

TAKATA RECALL I AM FILING A COMPLAINT BASED OFF OF A RECALL NOTICE THAT I RECEIVED FROM VOLKSWAGEN. THE RECALL # IS 69M9. THE LETTER STATES THAT METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL WHICH MAY RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. HOWEVER, AT THIS TIME THEY ARE NOT REPAIRING THE RECALLED VEHICLES UNTIL ENOUGH REPAIR PARTS ARE PRODUCED. VOLKSWAGEN REFUSES TO PROVIDE ME IN WRITING THAT MY CAR IS "SAFE" TO DRIVE.

TAKATA AIR BAGS I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW IN THE CRAP THE VW PEOPLE CAN GET AWAY WITH RECALLING THESE CARS FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT THAT CAN CAUSE "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO OCCUPANTS" AND BE SO [XXX]IRRESPONSIBLE WITH THE LIVES OF OTHERS. THERE IS NOT TIME TABLE FOR REPAIRS SO WE DON'T KNOW HOW LONG WE WILL BE SUBJECTED TO "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". SOMEONE IN OUR GOVERNMENT SHOULD STEP UP AND DEFEND US FROM THESE MONEY HUNGRY JERKS. WHY ISSUE THE RECALL IF THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO MAKE REPAIRS. I TALKED WITH A VW "CUSTOMER CARE" REPRESENTATIVE AND HE TOLD ME MY VEHICLE WAS PERFECTLY SAFE TO DRIVE YET I HAVE BEEN "WARNED" A MALFUNCTION COULD LEAD TO "SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH". WHAT ARE THOSE OF US WHO NEED OUR CARS TO SURVIVE TO DO? VW OFFERS NO LOANER CAR OR RENTAL ASSISTANCE. I THINK THIS IS CRAP AND IF I DIE BECAUSE OF SOME DEFECTIVE FOREIGN PART I HOPE SOMEONE IN CHARGE TAKES NOTICE SO OTHERS WILL NOT.

TAKATA RECALL WHY IS VW BEING ALLOWED TO DRAG THEIR FEET. I WAS FIRST NOTIFIED MONTHS AGO AND STILL THEY SAY NO REMEDY. AND YET, OTHER MANUFACTURERS HAVE LOGGED OVER 8 MILLION REPAIRS. I KEEP GETTING NOTICES AND YET NO REPAIR IS AVAILABLE. HOW CAN I FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY VEHICLE?

TAKATA RECALL- AFTER RECEIVING THIS RECALL THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THAT THERE IS NO REPAIR AVAILABLE.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS ON HOLD WITH VW CUSTOMER SERVICE THIS MORNING FOR ONE HOUR AND TWENTY MINUTES FOR THEM TO TELL ME THERE IS CURRENTLY NO FIX FOR THE RECALLED AIR BAG THAT IS IN MY CAR AND THAT VW DOES NOT HAVE A LOANER CAR PROGRAM FOR ITS CUSTOMERS TO USE UNTIL IT FIXES THE PROBLEMS WITH HE AIRBAGS. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE NHTSA STATES THAT MY CAR IS SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL THE AIRBAGS CAN BE FIXED. YET ALL OVER THE NEWS IT STATES THAT THE CARS WITH THE TAKAKA RECALL ARE NOT SAFE TO BE DRIVING UNTIL THE AIRBAGS ARE FIXED.

CHECKING TO SEE IF MY CAR WILL BE REPAIRED SOON?

TAKATA RECALL 16V078. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SOLD ME THE CAR ON 2/9/16 AND THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED THE VERY SAME DAY. THERE IS NO "REMEDY YET AVAILABLE." AS OF 5/4/16 I HAVE RECEIVED NO RECALL NOTICE FROM VW OR CONTACT FROM THE DEALERSHIP. VW DEALERSHIPS ARE STILL SELLING DANGEROUS RECALLED VEHICLES.

TAKATA RECALL- SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE I HAVE NOT HAD A TIME WHERE THERE ISN'T A RECALL OF SOME SORT. I HAVE BEEN ATTEMPTING TO TRADE IN MY VEHICLE FOR MONTHS AND EVERYONE IS OFFERING NEARLY NOTHING. COME TO FIND OUT ITHE IS DUE TO THE TAKATA RECALL THAT HAS RENDERED MY CAR IN A "STOP SALE", A BUYING AND SELLING FREEZE. NO ONE WILL BUY THEM BECAUSE THEY CAN'T SELL THEM DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I AM STUCK WITH AN EVER RECALLED VEHICLE THAT IS A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP AND I HAVE NO WAY OUT OF IT. TAKATA IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO REMEDY THIS SITUATION AND IS CREATING A POSSIBLE DEATH TRAP FOR PEOPLE DRIVING THEM AND A HUGE FINANCIAL BURDEN BECAUSE WE CAN'T PURCHASE A SAFER VEHICLE.

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE TRIED MULTIPLE TIMES TO CONTACT VW REGARDING THE AIRBAG RECALL AND AM GETTING ZERO ANSWERS OR RESOLUTION. I CALLED CUSTOMER CARE AND ASKED FOR A TIME-FRAME FOR THE FIX AND RECEIVED NONE. I ASKED FOR A LOANER AND WAS TOLD TO REQUEST ONE FROM THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. A WEEK AFTER LEAVING A MESSAGE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP, I RECEIVED A CALL THAT THEY DON'T HAVE LOANER CARS THAT DON'T HAVE AIRBAGS IN THEM THAT ARE NOT IMPACTED, SO IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. I WAITED A MONTH AND CHECKED VW'S WEBSITE AND THERE IS ZERO INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THEY WILL RECEIVE PARTS OR WHEN THIS WILL BE FIXED. I OPENED A CHAT WITH VW CUSTOMER CARE ON 4/15 AND RECEIVED A COPY AND PASTE RESPONSE TO MY CONCERNS, WHICH STATED NOTHING OF SUBSTANCE. I WAS ALSO AGAIN DENIED A LOANER CAR WHICH WAS SAFE IN THE INTERIM. I FEEL THAT VW AND TAKATA ARE NOT TAKING THE MATTER SERIOUSLY OR MOVING IN A FAST ENOUGH MANNER. I UNDERSTAND THE SCOPE OF THIS, BUT THERE NEEDS TO BE URGENCY IN THAT PEOPLE ARE DYING AND OTHER ARE DRIVING UNSAFE CARS. VW SHOULD HAVE LOANER CARS AVAILABLE ALONG WITH A TIMELINE OF THEFIX IN PLACE AT THIS POINT AS THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED LAST YEAR. I AM VERY UPSET WITH THEIR HANDLING. ANY PRESSURE THAT COULD BE PUT ON THEM TO EXTEND LOANER CARS OR MOVE FASTER WOULD BE APPRECIATED. I ALSO LIVE IN A HIGH HEAT STATE (NC), WHICH COMPOUNDS THE SERIOUSNESS. THANK YOU. *TR

DRIVER STEERING COLUMN AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY DURING A SEVERE CRASH. UPDATED 11/09/15*LJ...UPDATED 11/13/15 *BF UPDATED 1/4/16*JS

I HEARD A CLICK WHEN I WAS TRURNING INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THE AIRBAG MESSAGE APPEARED .

MY FAMILY AND I WERE FINISHING UP OUR FOOD SHOPPING AND LOADED THE CAR AND STARTED DRIVING OFF AND WHEN I WENT TO MAKE A TURN TO EXIT THE PARKING LOT SOMETHING IN THE STEERING WHEEL "POPPED" AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED. BEING MECHANICAL IN NATURE I ASSUMED THE CLOCKSPRING BUT NEVER IMAGINED THAT IT WOULD FAIL WITH SO LITTLE MILES OR AT ALL FOR THAT MATTER. I CALLED VW AND TOOK IT IN TO HAVE IT DIAGNOSED AND THE CLOCKSPRING WAS THE ISSUE.

AND THE TEMPERATURE FELL BELOW 32 F. THE LATCH WAS FINALLY REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE SENSOR FOR THE AIRBAGS FAILED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. *TR

PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, I FELT A CLICK VIBRATION ON THE STEERING COLUMN AND THEN A MESSAGE FLASHED ON THE DASH SCREEN: AIRBAG: ERROR NONE OF THE ELECTRONIC SWITCHES ON THE STEERING COLUMN FUNCTION, NO AIRBAG AVAILABILITY, NO HORN. I TOOK IT TO THE ONION CREEK DEALERSHIP IN AUSTIN, TX AND THEY QUICKLY FOUND WHAT WAS A QUICK, BUT EXPENSIVE FIX CAN BE DONE. $700 TO FIX. WHEN I INQUIRED THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND REQUESTED THEY COVER THE COST, THEY BALKED. I CONTACTED VW USA, THEY EVENTUALLY AGREED TO COVER 75% OF THE COST, THEN LATER RESCINDED THE OFFER BECAUSE THE LADY AT VW USA DECIDED SHE DIDN'T WANT TO COVER IT AND I HAD NO CHOICE IN THE MATTER. WHEN THEY DID OFFER TO PAY THE 75%, I HAD AGREED TO PAY THE DIFFERENCE. WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO NEGOTIATE FOR GREATER COVERAGE, I SUPPOSE SHE DID NOT LIKE THAT. *TR
