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?

Takata recall. I have submitted a request to the dealer that I purchased the vehicle from requesting an update for the driver side air bag repair. To date I have not received a reply. The dealer is serramonte Volkswagen, 711 serramonte blvd., colma, ca 94014. I purchased the vehicle new in February 2014 and received safety recall 69M9 in April 2016 from Volkswagen of America, Inc., 3800 hamlin road, auburn hills, mi 48326. I would like to know when I can expect this recall to be addressed.

Takata recall: The car is unsafe to drive because of the airbag constitutes a lethal threat. The value of this vehicle has of course plummeted as a result, making trading it in economically impossible. The recall is more than a year old, and there is no remedy in sight. VW seems to be sidestepping responsibility here, and telling customers "don't blame us--blame takata." But takata was VW's specific oem!

Takata recall just read that it may take over 3 more years for the fix of the airbags. I planned to trade this vehicle for another one. Now waiting 3 years for a fix will lower the value of my car. Is there a sooner time frame then 3 additional years.

When I got Passat SE I did research and I thought it was a safe car. My first priority to lease a car was safety. On April 2016 I got a letter from VW that airbag on front is not safe and it may causes serious injury or death. It been almost 10 months and still there is no words on when it will be fix. What is going to happen if I get in accident and die" who would fulfill my place for my kids" I want to change the car or have VW buy my car back. I want to live with my family not die. This is a serious safety issue and needs to be fixed right away. I got in accidentand the front airbag did not open
