What 94 owners told NHTSA about the 2012 Volkswagen Eos

TAKATA RECALL - EVEN THOUGH VW PUBLISHED PUBLIC NOTICE OF THIS AIR BAG RECALL ON APRIL 12, 2016, WE STILL HAVEN'T BEEN NOTIFIED OF A SCHEDULED REPLACEMENT. WE SHOULD BE ON A PRIORITY LISTING SINCE WE LIVE IN A SUB-TROPICAL CLIMATE (SC) AND OUR VEHICLE IS AMONG THE OLDER INSTALLATIONS (2012). WE HAVE NEVER BEEN CONTACTED BY VW.

I CALLED FINDLAY VW IN HENDERSON NV TO MAKE APPT TO HAVE AIRBAG REPLACED. THEY SAID VW DOES NOT "HAVE A REMEDY" AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THE AIR BAG CAN BE REPLACED. IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE VW IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET IN REPLACING THESE TAKATA AIRBAGS. I WANT TO SELL THIS CAR SINCE I ONLY BOUGHT IT IN 9/2015. WHERE CAN I GET THE AIRBAG REPLACED? I HAVE A THREE YEAR PLATINUM EXTENDED WARRANTY THRU THAT COVERS THE AIRBAGS. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF THE DANGER. I HAVE READ WHERE OTHER MANUFACTURERS AND REPLACING THE AIRBAGS AT A GOOD STEADY PACE EXCEPT FOR VW, WHICH DOESN'T SEEM TO BE REPLACING ANY. WHAT GIVES? WHO CAN I SEEK RECOURSE FROM?

TAKATA RECALL. I LEASED THIS VEHICLE AND THEN PURCHASED IT FROM THE DEALER. HE SOLD IT TO ME AFTER THE AIRBAG ISSUES WERE KNOWN AND DID NOT ADVISE ME OF THAT BEFORE PURCHASE. ALSO I HAVE BEEN GIVEN NO DATE ON WHICH THE DEADLY AIRBAGS WILL BE FIXED. I WAS NOTIFIED IN FEBRUARY 2016. I AM AFRAID MY CAR WILL BE HIT AND THE AIRBAGS WILL KILL ME. WHEN IS SOMETHING GOING TO BE DONE TO FORCE VW TO GIVE ITS CAR OWNERS A LOANER UNTIL THIS ISSUE IS FIXED?

THERE ARE NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO REPLACE THE AIRBAGS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND ARE A THREAT TO LIFE IF THEY DEPLOY. I BOUGHT OUT MY LEASE TWO YEARS AGO AND I BELIEVE THEY KNEW OF THIS ISSUE BUT LET ME BUY THE CAR ANYWAY. ALSO, THE RECALL JUST SAID THE AIRBAG DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY, NOT THAT SHARDS OF METAL COULD KILL ME IF IT DEPLOYED. I ONLY LEARNED THIS SATURDAY WHILE AT THE DEALER AFTER I PUT OVER $300 FIXING THE START BUTTON AND $700 PUTTING ON NEW TIRES. THE DEALER SAID HE WOULD BUY MY CAR FOR $12,000 ONLY IF I BOUGHT ANOTHER VW. THIS CAR IS A THREAT TO MY LIFE AND I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT. PLEASE TAKE ACTION SO WE ARE NOT FORCED TO GAMBLE WITH OUR LIVES WHILE DRIVING A VEHICLE WE BOUGHT AND MAINTAINED IN GOOD FAITH!

RECEIVED AIRBAG RECALL NOTICE FROM VW. CALLED LOCAL DEALER WAS REFERRED TO VW AMERICA. VW IS DOING NOTHING FOR CUSTOMERS AS NHTSA HAS NOT ISSUED A DO NOT DRIVE ORDER. HOW MANY DEATHS WILL IT TAKE TO FORCE VW INTO DOING WHAT IS RIGHT FOR CONSUMERS OR FOR NHTSA TO ISSUE A DO NOT DRIVE ORDER?. IF MY WIFE DRIVES HER CAR, AND IS INJURED, I WILL BE HOLDING VW AND THE NHTSA RESPONSIBLE.

TAKATA RECALL. I CONTACTED VW TODAY AND THEY HAVE REFUSED TO REMOVE MY VEHICLE FROM SERVICE AND PROVIDE A RENTAL OR LOANER VEHICLE UNTIL MY CAR IS REPAIRED AND SAFE TO DRIVE. HONDA HAS PROVIDED LOANER VEHICLES. WHAT MAKES VW ANY DIFFERENT. AS OUR PRIMARY MODE OF TRANSPORT, THIS VW SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE BY THE US GOVERNMENT. THIS CAR IS A POTENTIAL DEATH TRAP TO MY FAMILY!!

"TAKATA RECALL" VW IS DRAGGING THEIR FEET AND PUSHING BACK ON THE NHTSA ABOUT THIS RECALL AND THE PUBLIC IS SUFFERING OVER IT. I CALLED BOTH DOUGLAS VW SUMMIT, NJ AND VW OF AMERICA CORP OFFICES AND NO ONE KNOWS WHEN THIS WILL BE AVAILABLE TO FIX. MEANWHILE MY WIFE RIDES AROUND WITH A GRENADE IN FRONT OF HER. VW CORP REFUSED ME A LOANER UNTIL THEY GET THIS FIX AVAILABLE. MEANWHILE YET ANOTHER TRAGIC DEATH IN TEXAS FROM THE SHRAPNEL CUTTING THE JUGULAR VEIN AND CORRODED ARTERY OF THIS POOR GIRL. WHO IS NEXT, WHILE VW DRAGS THEIR FEET. RECALL NOTICE WAS DEC 2015 OR JAN 2016
