I purchased my car in 2014. I started having issues with the car as soon as I bought it. I started hearing a metal noise and I took it 3 times to the dealer and they could not find anything, then I had a problem with the A/C supposedly they fixed. During this time the car was still under warranty. Since 2015 I been receiving by mail a recall (safety recall 69M9) every time I contact the dealer they always say the don't have the air bag in stock. Has been 2 years since I received the first letter and they still have not received the air bags, and for this reason they have been unable to service my car. I feel very unsafe! driving the car like this! now in 2017 another problem arise, when I am driving the car suddenly brakes / stops. ( feels like it is going to turned off on the middle of the road) the epc light comes on. This is the 4th time in happens while driving. For example the first 3 times I was driving at 40 miles per hour and the car starting shaking and the speed decreased down to 20 miles, I tried to accelerate and the car didn't response. I had to pull over and turn off the car. I can definitely tell is getting worst! it happened again yesterday and was worst, I was driving at 30 miles per hour and I came to a stop as soon as I brake, the epc light came on and the car will not accelerate. The car behind me almost hit me, I could be dead! how is possible that a 2013 car has some many problems/"? is only 4 years old and has more issues than an older car. I don't feel safe driving this car. It stops suddenly while driving and it won't accelerate. I have to pull out turn off the car wait and turn it back on. What about if I'm driving in an express way?? and the car stops suddenly" someone will crash into me! and we both could die!

My wife was driving car makes a turn and hears a noise in steering wheel. The drivers side air bag light comes on. Upon further investigation the steering wheel electric controls also do not work. Online research shows voluntary recall by VW for certain 2010- 2014 Passats for clock spring. Bring to local mechanic who tells me clock spring is bad and I should bring it to VW for repairunder recall. Call my dealer in riverhead NY who informs me that even though the Passat is in recall range the VIN is not part of recall at this time.VW has recall for 420,000 cars for clock spring but for some reason mine is not included and I will have to pay $400 for repair. Recall needs to be expanded.

"takata recall" I have received a safety recall letter about (NHTSA 16V078) for my VW Passat 2013. The letter emphasizes that I should "not delay in having this recall repair performed". I have scheduled a visit to VW dealer in arlington tx "hiley Volkswagen arlington" through their website www.hileyvw.com/ for 04/20/2017 09:30 am. I however got a phone call from the dealer (a representative named huma) today (04/19/2017). She said that they do not have the part to do the replacement. She said VW only sends them parts once a week and they do not have enough to get my vehicle serviced tomorrow. She said she would call me on Friday to let me know when I should take the car to the dealer for repair. I am disturbed that they delay the repair of my car while the recall letter says that it should be done right away because, if not, it "may result in serious injury or death to vehicle occupants."
