TAKATA RECALL - VW ISSUED THIS RECALL 14 MONTHS AGO IN FEBRUARY 2016. THEY STILL TELL ME THEY DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO REMEDY. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY TELL YOU METAL SHRAPNEL COULD SHRED YOUR FACE AND NECK AND KILL YOU.

TAKATA RECALL. GOT A LETTER IN APRIL 2016. AIRBAGS NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN ONE YEAR AND I HAVE CALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND STILL GET THE SAME ANSWER. NOT AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SAFETY RECALL AND THE COMPANY HAS HAD SUFFICIENT TIME TO REMEDY. THEY ARE MORE INTERESTED IN MONEY THAN SAVING LIVES/INJURIES. IS THERE ANYTHING WE CAN DO? I AM CURRENTLY ON A VERY LONG HOLD TIME AGAIN AND AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH THE LACK OF ACTION ON VOLKSWAGON.

TAKATA RECALL I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2015 AT THE VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP IN OAKLAND CALIFORNIA. FIRST OF ALL, I NEVER GOT THE NOTIFICATION THAT MY CAR HAS A RECALL. SECOND OF ALL, I AM GRADUATING FROM COLLEGE AND LEAVING THE COUNTRY (NEVER COMING BACK) IN APRIL THIS YEAR, AND I HAVE TO SELL THIS CAR ASAP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT WITH THE TAKATA RECALL MY CAR CAN ONLY SELL FOR HALF OF THE PRICE THAT IT IS WORTH. THIS RECALL IS NOT MY FAULT NOR MY RESPONSIBILITY. THE CAR DEALERSHIP BASICALLY TOLD ME THAT I'M SCREWED. THE VOLKSWAGEN OFFICIAL WEBSITE SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT PREDICT WHEN THE REMEDY WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. I'M JUST WONDERING, WHY IS IT ME THAT HAVE TO PAY THE PRICE?
