I have been waiting on VW to fix their PODS system recall for 6 months now. Our front passenger seat flips between not registering the airbags when a passenger is present, so thinking that there is a passenger seated when the seat is empty. They still tell me there is no fix for the issue and the only thing I can do is not utilize the front passenger seat. This is absolutely OBSURED that it is taking this long to rectify this situation. I have a seat is unsafe and it does not appear there is any urgency on VW's part. 6 months with no fix is entirely too long.

Passenger airbag issue has not been recalled. Advised not to drive car. How is this the solution? Not every family has funding to own more than one vehicle or use alternative transportation. We rely on our car for transportation to/from work and school. The recall was issued more than four months ago and no estimate for resolution has been provided.

The manufacturer had communicated an potential failure of the passenger side airbag in April 2023. The issue will not alert me unless an occupant is in the passenger seat and there is a potential failure while in transit. This is high risk. No remedy is available and this is affecting my personal and work life, along with finances as I cannot drive with other passengers due to the risk of severe injury or death. Numerous complaints and requests were sent to the manufacturer (VW) but nothing has been done. This is a known safety issue and I should not be paying for a vehicle that is known to potential causes harm to my passengers.
