TAKATA RECALL I HAVE AN '06 PASSAT. WHY IS IT A YEAR AFTER I GOT THE RECALL LETTER THAT I'M STILL WAITING FOR IT TO BE REPLACED? I HAVE A 6 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER THAT I DROP OFF AND PICK UP FROM SCHOOL IN THIS CAR WITH THE KILLER AIR BAG! MY PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG SENSOR "SOMETIMES" WORKS. WHY THE ENTIRE CAR HASN'T BEEN RECALLED, ONLY GOD KNOWS. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND I'M ASHAMED MORE HASN'T BEEN DONE TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF PASSENGERS OF THESE CARS MADE WITH SHORT CUTS AND CHEAP PARTS. MY LIFE AND MY DAUGHTERS LIFE IS WORTH FAR MORE THAN ANOTHER CHEAP SEAT IN FRONT OF A KILLER AIR BAG. THIS IS SUICIDE AND SHAME ON THOSE WHO ARE DELAYING THE FIXES BECAUSE THAT IS POTENTIAL ATTEMPTED MURDER ON MILLIONS OF PEOPLE AND THEIR CHILDREN.

MY VEHICLE IS RECALLED FOR THIS SERIOUS PROBLEM AND VW IS NOT OFFERING A PART TO FIX IT OR A RENTAL CAR. IT IS ILLEGAL FOR MY MECHANIC TO TURN OFF THE AIRBAG. I FEEL EXTREMELY UNSAFE DRIVING MY CAR WITH MY CHILD AND HUSBAND IN IT AS A MINOR FENDER BENDER IN WHICH THE AIRBAG ACTIVATES COULD RESULT IN DEATH. IT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE THAT VW IS NOT OFFERING A SOLUTION FOR THESE CAR OWNERS TODAY.

I TOOK IT TO MECHANIC AND AFTER SEVERAL TESTS, IT WAS NOTED THAT THE ENGINE COILS AND TURBO CAP WAS BROKEN. HEFTY PRICE TO GET IT FIX. AFTER TWO DAYS, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. I RESEARCH AND TALKED WITH MECHANIC, IT SEEMS TO BE A GROWING PROBLEM WITH VW CARS.

2006 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE FINANCIAL IMPACT EXPERIENCE DUE TO NO SOLUTION FOR AIRBAG RECALL REPAIRS. *SMD UPDATED 07/25/16.*JB

TAKATA RECALL I AM A 21 YEAR OLD FEMALE COLLEGE STUDENT IN TALLAHASSEE, FL. MY PARENTS AND I CHOSE A 2006 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT TO BE A SAFE CAR FOR ME AFTER AN ACCIDENT, WHERE MY PREVIOUS CAR(VW JETTA) WAS TOTALED. THEN TO FIND OUT A LITTLE UNDER A YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR THAT THE AIRBAGS HAVE A RECALL I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY REGRETFUL OF THIS DECISION. SINCE THAT DAY I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR TO DRIVE MY CAR EACH TIME I GET INTO IT I THINK OF HOW RISKY IT IS TO DRIVE EACH TIME. I HAVE HEARD STORIES OF DRIVERS THROATS BEING SLIT BY THE UNSAFE METAL SHARDS THAT DEPLOY WITH THE RECALLED AIRBAGS. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THERE IS STILL NOT A FIX OR MEANS FOR DRIVERS TO BE ABLE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS SAFE. I THINK THAT IT IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE AND TOO RISKY TO HAVE ONE OF THE MAIN SAFETY MECHANISM IN CAR TO BE A THREAT TO DRIVERS AS WELL. WHEN THERE ARE RECALLS ON TOYS PEOPLE ARE INSTRUCTED TO IMMEDIATELY RETURN THEM TO THE STORE OR AT LEAST THROW THEM AWAY AND KEEP THE TOYS AWAY FROM THEIR CHILDREN. NOW THERE IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE WITH AIRBAGS IN A CAR AND NOT HIS HAS BEEN DONE. PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY LOST THEIR LIVES AS A RESULT OF THE FAULTY AIR BAGS AND STILL NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE. I AM WRITING TO HOPEFULLY GET A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE.

WE HAVE HAD TROUBLE FOR THE PAST WEEK WITH OUR CAR NOT CRANKING IN THE AFTERNOON. WE FIGURED IT WAS THE ALTERNATOR CAUSING THE BATTERY TO DIE. WE REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR. SO THE CAR DID GREAT FOR ONLY A FEW MINUTES, THEN WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, THE STEERING COLUMN LIGHT CAME ON, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP, AND THE CAR CONTINUED TO RUN. IF WE HAD BEEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD LIKE I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THIS, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED AS MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN MADE? THE STEERING COLUMN LIGHT COMES ON GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND EVERYTHING LOCKS UP FOR SOMEONE TO DIE. WILL VOLKSWAGEN THEN DECIDE ITS TIME TO RECALL IT? NOW THE KEY WILL NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION AND IT WILL NOT CRANK AT ALL.

BAD IGNITION COILS AND MISFIRES. CAM FOLLOWER AND CAMSHAFT WEAR PROBLEMS. DIVERTER VALVE (DV) FAILURE. HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP (HPFP). CARBON BUILD UP AND COLD START MISFIRES. INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL (IMRC) MOTOR. TIMING CHAIN, CHAIN ADJUSTER AND TENSIONER. VW AND AUDI FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. PCV VALVE FAILURE.

TAKATA RECALL: RECEIVED WORTHLESS VW LETTER. BEEN DRIVING DANGEROUS CAR FOR 10 YEARS. DEFLATORS GET WORSE WITH AGE. CONTACTED VW DEALERS LOCALLY - NO PARTS ADN NO INFO. CONTACTED VW CUSTOMER SERVICE - WAS TOLD NO KNOWN INSTANCES FOR VW AND NO IDEA WHEN PARTS AVAILABLE MAY 2016 TO DECEMBER 2019. WHY IS TAKATA ALLOWED TO BE IN BUSINESS AFTER SELLING MILLIONS OF THE DEFECTIVE LETHAL AIRBAGS? WHY IS VW NOT REQUIRED TO GER REPLACEMENT OEM PARTS MADE NOW. CAN'T SELL IT, GIVE IT AWAY OR DRIVE IT THIS WAY.
