Takata recall. More than one year since the recall. I leased the car from Volkswagen, requested a return/refund - or at least cancel the lease. No response.

Takata recall - my automobile has been recalled for over a year. After approximately 1 year of the NHTSA website indicating that the repair part was not available for my vehicle, I discovered today on the website that the part is finally available for my vehicle. Upon contacting my local VW dealership, I was notified that the part is in stock; however, VW has placed me in "group 6" and that notwithstanding the part being available for my vehicle on the NHTSA website, VW has instructed the dealership to only repair cars in groups 1 through 4. I was told that I must wait until at least September, 2017, for the part to become available, which will be approximately 19 months since the initial recall. It is unacceptable that I have been driving an unsafe vehicle for such a lengthy period of time, and now that the part is available to fix my vehicle, I am not allowed to obtain the fix.

Takata inflators I found out today at the VW dealership where I leased my car that my vehicle is under recall for takata airbags. I have a month left on my lease, and I was going to purchase the car. The salesman told me that " there isn't a fix yet". what does that mean? VW never notified me of the recall. I am very concerned because it is the driver's side airbag in question. I am on the interstates every week as I am in sales. What recourse do I have except not buy the 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.
