What 148 owners told NHTSA about the 2013 Volkswagen Cc

TAKATA RECALL; BECAUSE VW APPARENTLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS AND REFUSED TO OFFER A TIMELY FIX TO THIS PROBLEM, I DECIDED RATHER THAT DRIVE A POTENTIAL BOMB, TO GET RID OF THE CAR, SUFFERING A SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLAR DECREASE IN VALUE AT TRADE-IN BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED IN APRIL THAT MY CAR WAS ONE THAT HAD A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT COULD POTENTIALLY EXPLODE AND KILL ME (NICE). IT IS NOW MID WAY THROUGH AUGUST IN GA ( HIGH RISK/HUMIDITY STATE) AND I AM STILL BEING TOLD THERE IS NO TIME FRAME AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS TO IS UNACCEPTABLE SEEING AS THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION (CAN'T RENT A CAR FOR A YEAR).

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS, EACH TIME I REQUEST FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL TO BE FIXED AND EVERY TIME I AM TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT OR REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR IT. I WAS JUST RECENTLY INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE DRIVERS AIRBAG AND KNEE BOLSTERS FAILED TO DEPLOY, CAUSING ME PRETTY SEVERE PAIN AND INJURY. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW VOLKSWAGEN SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE.

THE NEARBY VW OF VENTURA DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE LOANER WHILE THEY FIX THE RECALL ISSUE AS PER NHTSA DIRECTIVES. THE SERVICE MANAGER LAUGHED AT ME OVER THE PHONE SAYING THERE IS NO REMEDY SO GO AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT AS WE DON'T PROVIDE LOANERS. I'M SPEECHLESS. I HAVE A DISABLED FAMILY MEMBER TO CARRY TO APPOINTMENTS. I'M MORE THAN UPSET. DESPITE THIS FACT THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF RECALL , NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION LETTER ABOUT IT FROM VW. PLEASE HELP!

TAKATA RECALL VW ISSUED AN INTENT TO RECALL MY CAR APPROXIMATELY 6 MONTHS AGO. VW CLAIMS THEY STILL DO NOT HAVE THE PARTS TO PERFORM THE NECESSARY REPAIR. 6 MONTHS IS AN UNREASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO DRIVE A CAR WITH AN ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH. HONDA IS PROVIDING RENTAL VEHICLES UNTIL CERTAIN CARS CAN BE FIXED. VW HAS COMMUNICATED NOTHING FURTHER.

TAKATA RECALL: OUR CAR HAS A TAKATA RECALL. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OR HAVING OUR 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING IT. NO RENTAL OR LOANERS HAVE BEEN OFFERED. ACCORDING TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT VW CUSTOMER CARE THE NHTSA IS NOT REQUIRING THEM TO OFFER THIS. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO RENT A VEHICLE INDEFINITELY (THERE IS NO TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIR), RECALL STATES THE PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN DEATH, IT SEEMS ILLEGAL NOT TO HAVE A SAFE CAR PROVIDED UNTIL A REPAIR IS AVAILABLE.

VW IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO SOLVE THE TAKATA SDI DRIVER AIRBAG RECALL! CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, PALMETTO 57TH IN MIAMI. SPOKE TO SERVICE MANAGER ROLANDO WHO ADVISED THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE LOANER UNLESS VW CORPORATE AUTHORIZED IT, AND VW HAD NO SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT. CALLED VW CORPORATE AT 1-800-893-5298 AND WAS ADVISED THAT VW IS NOT PROVIDING LOANER CARS, AND WOULD NOT TEMPORARILY REMOVE AIRBAGS UNTIL THEY FIND A SOLUTION. I ADVISED THAT I HAVE A PREGNANT WIFE, AND NEED A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. THEY STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BASED ON THE CORPORATE POLICY THAT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED BY VW. MY COUSIN-IN-LAW HAS AN ACURA TL WITH THE SAME AIRBAG PROBLEM. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND GOT A RENTAL CAR AT NO COST UNTIL HIS CAR CAN BE FIXED. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN ORDER FOR VW TO TAKE CORPORATE ACTION. I PRAY THAT IS NOT MY WIFE AND MY UNBORN BABY! PS: WE OWN THREE LATE MODEL VW'S. WE ARE SELLING ALL OF THEM AND NEVER BUYING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN!

2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC EQUIPPED WITH CONTINENTAL CONTI PRO CONTACT TIRES. WHILE DRIVING AT ALL SPEEDS, AN ABNORMALLY LOUD NOISE EMITTED FROM THE TIRES. THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 15000 MILES ON THE TIRES WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN. THE ROAD NOISE GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AND EVENTUALLY TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PROBLEM IS DUE TO CUPPING OF THE TIRES AND THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE TIRES AND GET A REALIGNMENT. THE CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED ON A REGULAR BASIS THROUGH THE DEALER AND THE DEALER DID NOT MENTION ANY ISSUES WITH ALIGNMENT DURING THE SERVICES. OTHER OWNERS HAD PROVIDED SIMILAR ISSUES ON THE INTERNET AND THAT THE ISSUE HAD NOT RESOLVED AFTER BOTH NEW TIRES AND REALIGNMENT IN MANY CASES. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO BAD ALIGNMENT OR BALL JOINTS IN THE SUSPENSION WITH THE VEHICLE. I PLACED A COMPLAINT WITH VW AND THEY WOULD NOT FURNISH HOW MANY SIMILAR ISSUES WERE REPORTED BY THE CONSUMERS. VW CASE# 160380592.

TAKATA RECALL SINCE THERE IS A CHANCE THAT MY DRIVER AIRBAG WON'T GET ACTIVATED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, I AM VERY CONCERNED OF MY SAFETY. THIS CC IS THE 4TH VEHICLE I LEASE FROM VW SINCE 2009. IN THE INTERIM , UNTIL VW AND TAKATA DECIDE ON THE RESOLUTION OF THIS MAJOR DEFECT, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY POSSIBLE INJURIES/DEATH IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT? SHOULDN'T VW BE MORE CONCERNED OF MY SAFETY WHILE THEY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM? SHOULDN'T THEY GIVE ME A TEMPORARY VEHICLE TO DRIVE MEANWHILE? IT IS POTENTIOLLY A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION. WHAT ARE MY RIGHT IN THAT CASE?
