My car has an open recall for the takata air bag situation. It' been open since February it's now August. As I understand it, the airbag apparatus is subject to corrosion in humid warm climates. I live in brevard county Florida, on the coast subject to high humidity and heat. My neighbor has an Acura which is also subject to the recall. Since Acura thinks more of it's clients they made arrangements for a rental car for them until the fix finally came in, in July. Maybe if VW had to do the same they may expedite my repair so my wife and I aren't risking our lives every time we have to drive our VW. Any help is welcomed.

In cold weather, the driver door would not open from outside or inside. All other doors worked properly. At initial service request, problem would not duplicate once car was warm. Service manager said he'd seen this problem previously. After phone calls, emails, and diagnostic service appointment, VW did replace the door latch assembly at no charge. Retail replacement was quoted at $500. Concern is of utmost importance because potential existed that I could not exit my car in an emergency.

Takata airbag there hasn't been 1 specific incident involving the airbags, but my car is on the list of those that should be recalled. Volkswagen didn't notify me, I found out on my own!!!

On several occasions when I start my car it blows extremely hot air out the driver's side vents while the passenger side still follows the heater control settings. So even if I turn the temperature down so the ac kicks in it still is extremely hot on the driver's side. I tried turning off the control, restarting the car, and just about everything else and only after it sits a while does it work again. This makes for some very uncomfortable driving when it is warm outside. This happens about once a week and never when I can get it to the dealership for them to check.

Driver's door latch froze/broke on 2/18/2015. Cold morning in central nys. Could not unlock or open driver's door from outside or inside latches. Called my VW dealer and had car towed to them for repairs. I use my car for business and do substantial work in metro areas so I can not crawl in / out on passenger side at parking garages. My car has been at the local VW dealer since Feb 18 as parts are back ordered. Today I was told the part won't be available until 3/14. If the door lock/latch parts are in such demand to be back-ordered for a month, this tells me the that the problem is prolific. I'm considered outside of warranty as well and have been quoted $500 for repair. I guess that's bye-bye to my VW loyalty credit I was hoping to use for routine maintenance items like oil changes. In addition, I had to rent a car at a rate of $300/week so this little GEM has gotten quite costly.

Windshield cracks by itself

Heater core was plugged. VW did replace it under a tsb but friends of mine state their heater cores plugged again after having them replaced once. I was warm defrost on the drivers side and cold on the passenger side. Wouldn't even defrost the windshield so I could see with frost on it.
