My lease is ending in May 2017. I have paid into this car for four years and planned to buy the residuary. I spoke with the local VW dealership and they won't do anything here in charleston, SC. I am concerned because I am in a hot and humid region and it makes my airbag even more of a danger!! I spoke with VW credit and they say they can sell me the residuary but will not provide a credit or anything else. I will just need to drive the defective car. I spoke with VW's national customer care and they just fed the bs that they won't do anything because they are following the rules. They will not act to protect consumers unless forced through a lawsuit or forced by a regulatory Agency like the NHTSA. It is negligent and irresponsible of VW to place blame on every but themselves. My partner and I have been with VW for almost 15 years but unless VW makes this right and either provides a safer car, fixes the airbag, or provides some sort of credit or incentive to me, VW will lose a customer. I will give my money to another car dealership.

1. the lighting recall I have had my car serviced at least 4xs for light.. the light is still not fixed, every time the hood is open and closed the light goes out. 2. I was sent recall letter about airbag, I went to have it fixed and was told that the sensor got wet and its my responsibility and was charged alomost 1K to fix it.3. my car while driving says settings are not accessible, this is constant and its not as though im trying to change the settings, while driving. Also the last time I took my car in for service I paid for my ac filter to be changed and it wasn't they said my tires were ok they were not. I have been kicked out of one dealership because the service manager was clearly a racist. I have had so many problems and when I call VW of America im put on hold, just to be told that there is nothing they can do. Now they are calling me over, and over to extend my warranty, I paid for my car in full.. I cant get one person to take my issues seriously, I can barely see the road when driving, the cars settings constantly change. Last but not least I paid for cosmetic issues and had a new battery put in all while under warranty. Because the service manager kicked me out of dealership.
Takata recall dealership will not provide loaner. I am trying to buy a new car, and dealerships are devaluing the price of my car since the recall has no fix.
I wanted to find out how much credit VW is going to give me for the takata recall on my vehicle since its eligible and I was driving it being very vulnerable to this. I have already returned back my vehicle (termination of lease) but wanted to get the reimbursement from VW for the takata recall as eligible. VIN:[xxx] account number:882794211 vehicle:2013 Passat SE w/sunr please advise. Thanks! [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Takata recall this unbelievable that a recall dated April 2016 from VW is still not being repaired. The local dealer is not helpful and really acts like he does not care one bit about this issue. What is the issue and while so long since Acura had already repaired my other auto!!!
Takata recall: Nothing has happened so far, but I was almost in a wreck this morning and I'm scared. What if my airbag deploys and seriously injures me or a loved one? I think a far solution would be to allow consumers to trade in defective vehicles with ones that do not have this airbag at the manufacturer's, I.e., takata's expense. They knew these airbags where defective and it took deaths and serious injuries for them to do the recall. Now, everyday, I'm terrified of being even in a fender bender. Something needs to be done and soon! we have known about this for almost two years now.
