Takata recall VW has failed to inform me of the very dangerous takata recall which involves faulty airbags on the driver and passenger side. I do not feel safe driving my vehicle.

Takata recall. My car was impacted by the 2/9/16 recall of takata airbags. We received a notice from VW last March. The dealer has refused to return calls, provide a repair date, offer a loaner car until the repair could be made, they are also refusing to replace or refund fair market value of the car. My teenage daughter is driving a car that could kill her and no one is interested in helping us or providing a solution. After waiting 12 months for any plan of action from VW we are requesting help from the NHTSA.

I have never received a recall notice from the state of Texas or volkswagon concerning the driver takata airbag recall. I discovered the recall by researching online. I called volkswagon of America at 1-800-822-8987. Case # 170074388. They confirmed that the takata airbag recall exists. The took my information. I asked for a remedy. The recall fix is not available. I asked for my other legal remedies considering the recall has been since February 2, 2016. I asked for the airbag to be dismantled at the dealership or to receive a rental car until the remedy is available. A rental/replacement vehicle was denied. I did not ask for a refund as yet. I would like assistance with asserting my legal rights to drive a safe vehicle. The preferred remedy is a rental car until the recall fix is ready or a refund. Basically VW America said good luck- we will contact you when there is a fix.

Takata recall. Apparently my car has had this recall for about a year and it really bothers me that Volkswagen never bothered to notify me. I do not feel comfortable driving this car, especially with my family and I would have replaced this car months ago had I known. I thought they had 60 days to notify us?
