TAKATA RECALL- I WAS SENT NOTIFICATION ABOUT THE RECALL VIA MAIL BACK IN FEBRUARY. I CALLED THE NUMBER LISTED TO GET MORE INFORMATION AS WELL AS SET UP A DATE TO TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUE. I WAS INFORMED THAT NO RESOLUTION HAD BEEN PUT INTO PLACE AT THAT TIME. MY VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AT THIS POINT, I WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE MY CAR AND NOT BE IN FEAR OF MY LIFE WITH SOMETHING THAT WOULD HOPEFULLY SAFE MY LIFE AND NOT TAKE MY LIFE. IF WOULD LIKE TO GIVE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND START OVER.IT IS NOT FAIR THAT I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE HAVE NOT USED IT AS I PLEASE BECAUSE OF THE FEAR OF THE METAL FRAGMENTS IN THE AIRBAGS.I WOULD LIKE A RESOLUTION IMMEDIATELY SO THAT I CAN IN FULL CONFIDENCE DRIVE AND ENJOY MY VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT IN 2013 WITH JUST 23,000 MILES AND AS OF THIS DATE IT HAS ONLY 60,000. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" WILL THE PROBLEM BE FIXED, I DO NOT WANT TO PURCHASE ANOTHER CAR AT THIS TIME, BUT IT LOOKS AS IF I WILL BE FORCED TO DO SO. I ALSO HAVE SOME ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THE CAR THE AIR PRESSURE IN THE TIRES AND THE LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT TO REPLACE THEM EVERY 4 TO 6 MONTHS IS CRAZY.. THE DEALERSHIP HERE WANTS TO PUT ME IN A NEW CAR AND AS HE SAID EAT THE COST TO REPLACE, WHY DON'T THEY JUST PAY OFF THE CAR AND I CAN CUT MY LOSSES AND START OVER WITH A CAR OF MY CHOICE, I'M BEING FORCED BACK INTO A VW CAR?

TAKATA RECALL - THE RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED 2/2016. IT IS NOW ALMOST 9/2016 AND VOLKSWAGEN REPORTS THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY YET. THIS AIRBAG ISSUE IS POTENTIALLY LETHAL AND THEY ARE LETTING PEOPLE CONTINUE TO DRIVE AROUND. WHERE IS THE ACCOUNTABILITY?

!. SINCE THE PURCHASE OF MY CAR I HAD COMPLAINED NUMEROUS TIMES ABOUT THE SLUGGISHNESS OF MY CAR, STOHLMAN ADMITS THERE WAS A PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT REPAIR BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS NOT ON, ACCORDING TO THEM. ENGINE CAME ON, TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP CLOSER TO HOME SAME THING, WOULD NOT ADDRESS THE MISFIRING ISSUE. MIND YOU, MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON, NOW WARRANTY HAS ENDED. SEVERAL CYLINDERS MISFIRING. I WANT STOHLMAN TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. MY TIRE PRESSURE SCREEN NEVER READ THE SAME NUMBER SINCE PURCHASE, I HAD SPOKEN ABOUT THIS TOO BUT WAS ALWAYS TOLD THAT THE HEATING AND COOLING OFF OF THE TIRES WILL GIVE DIFFERENT READINGS. THE CAR HAS TO RETURNED LESS THAN A MONTH OF PURCHASE BECAUSE OF A CLUNKING SOUND. THEY CLAIMED THAT THEY DID THE INSPECTION THE QUALIFY THE CAR AS CERTIFICATED, I TRULY DO NOT BELIEVE IT. I AM TIRED OF THE ISSUES AND NEED RESOLUTION. THERE WAS NO WAY YOU COULD AVOID THE SOUND, THEY GOT THE CAR IN MARCH 2014, I PURCHASED IN MAY 2014. ALSO, I HAD TO CONSTANTLY PUT AIR IN MY TIRES.

WIRING HARNESS ON TRUNK NEEDS REPLACING. LIGHTS DO NOT WORK ON TRUNK. SEEM TO SEE MANY OTHERS WITH SAME ISSUES.

INHERENT ALIGNMENT AND SUSPENSION DESIGN FLAW CAUSES CUPPING OF TIRES AT FREQUENT INTERVALS DESPITE EXCEEDING MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED CYCLE FOR TIRE ROTATION AND ALIGNMENT CHECKS. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE DEALER BUT THERE IS NO SOLUTION FROM THE MANUFACTURER TO FIX THIS ISSUE. OWNERS NATIONWIDE SEEM TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WHICH TRANSLATES TO AN ANNUAL TIRE REPLACEMENT EXPENSE. EVEN WITH BEST RATED TIRES THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO LAST 60,000 MILES, THE MOST MILEAGE ONE CAN ACHIEVE IS ABOUT 15,000. THE RESULT ALSO INCLUDES NOISY DRIVING CONDITIONS, VIBRATION WHILE BRAKING OR ACCELERATING. KEEPING THE ALIGNMENT WITHIN FACTORY SPEC DOES NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. VW SHOULD LOOK INTO THE DESIGN AND MODIFY THE ALIGNMENT AND SUSPENSION TO HELP CONSUMERS WITH THIS FRUSTRATING PROBLEM.

WEDNESDAY ON MY HOME I'M DRIVING GOING ABOUT 35MPH GEARING DOWN AS I AM COMING UP TO A TOLE BOOTH WHEN I NOTICE THAT BRAKES LITERALLY HAVE SHUT OFF. I'M PRESSING THE PETAL REPEATEDLY AS HARD AND AS FAST AS I CAN TO GET THEM TO WORK BUT THEY ENDED FAILING AND I RAN INTO SOMEONE AND WENT THROUGH THE TOLE BOOTH AND ROLLED STOPPED 80 YARDS AFTER THE CRASH BECAUSE THE BRAKES STILL DID NOT WORK AFTER THE CRASH .WITH AIRBAG NOT DEPLOYING. IT WAS A VERY TRAUMATIC EXPERIENCE, I NO LONGER FEEL COMFORTABLE IN A VEHICLE I WAS SO HAPPY WITH MOMENTS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED.

CHRONIC LOW TIRE PRESSURE READINGS FROM MONITORING SYSTEM (TPMS). DEALER UNWILLING TO REPAIR DURING WARRANTY AND AFTER WARRANTY EXPIRATION. NOTIFIED DEALER AND VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA IN WRITING WITH NO RESPONSE. TIRES ARE LOOSING TIRE PRESSURE REGULARLY. FALSE POSITIVE DISPLAY FOR FLAT TIRE. THE TPMS WAS INDICATING PROBLEMS BEFORE 12K MILES AND THE TIRES ARE STILL LOOSING AIR AFTER 34K MILES. PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED FOR OVER THREE YEARS AS DOCUMENTED ON DEALER SERVICE RECORDS. TIRE PRESSURE PROBLEMS ARE NOTED BY DASH DISPLAY WHEN IGNITION IS ON AND WHILE DRIVING, AND VERIFIED WITH MANUAL TIRE PRESSURE GAUGE. PRESSURE DROPS HAVE BEEN RECORED TO 23 PSI (33 PSI RECOMMENDED). PROBLEMS OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE PHOTO DOCUMENTATION AND RELATED SERVICE RECORDS VERIFYING THESE PROBLEMS. I CONSIDER THIS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.

I TOOK OLD HARNESS FROM DEALER AND PULLED BACK COVER AND FOUND ALL WIRES WERE BARE.

I TOOK MY CAR TO GET THIS RECALL DONE "RECALL SUBJECT : FMVSS 138 TPMS SENSOR" WITH CAMPAIGN NUMBER 11V312000, BUT 2 VW DEALERSHIP THAT I VISITED REFUSED TO FIX THIS RECALL SAYING THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOESN'T HAVE THIS RECALL. (MY MODEL HAS THIS RECALL BASED ON THIS WEBSITE). HOWEVER, MY CAR STARTED HAVING THIS ISSUE A YEAR AND HALF I BOUGHT MY CAR. "WITH THE INCORRECT TPMS SENSORS, DRIVERS WILL RECEIVE A CONSTANT WARNING FROM THE TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM ALERTS THE DRIVER BUT, DUE TO INCORRECT TPMS SENSORS, THE SYSTEM CANNOT DETERMINE IF THE VEHICLE TIRES ARE PROPERLY INFLATED. THIS INCREASES THE RISK THAT THE VEHICLE WILL BE DRIVEN WITH ONE OR MORE UNDERINFLATED TIRES, INCREASING THE RISK OF A TIRE FAILURE THAT MAY LEAD TO A CRASH." VW SAID IT WILL COST ME $1300 TO FIX THIS ISSUE AND I KNOW MY CAR HAS THIS RECALL... BUT FOR SOME REASON MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED UNTIL THIS RECALL. COULD YOU INCLUDE MY VIN TO THIS RECALL SO THAT I CAN GET IF FIXED?

I STARTED MY CAR (37000 MILES) ON A PARKING LOT, AND THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS FOR ABS, STABILITY CONTROL, POWER STEERING, PASSENGER AIR BAG AND PARKING BREAK LIGHTED UP AT ONCE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE MECHANIC AND THE DIAGNOSTIC WAS THE ABS MODULE WENT BAD. I FOUND ONLINE THAT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AND A SERVICE BULLETIN WAS ISSUED, BUT SO FAR NO RECALLS. IT'S A VERY EXPENSIVE PROBLEM TO REPAIR $2000 TO $3000, AND I'M REALLY CONCERN THAT MY PASSENGER AIR BAG IS NOT OPERABLE.
