“Takata recall: I am reading that people are being injured and dying, and the news says to stop driving the car. The dealership has no resolution. There is no time-line for a repair. I used your live chat and was told I could ask for a rental. The dealership said that no rental will be provided, it was up to me to take the risk to drive the car.”

“Takata recall my vehicle has an airbag recall and yet I have not been given an option to take it in for check up. I hope to also get the dash cleared up of all the lights indicating various errors on my car. My vehicle started acting up this way as it was stationary for about 6 months total now.”

“Takata recall this issue was reported on 2/9/16. Three months has passed and no solution has been provided. I refuse to drive around in a car not fit for the road. Every day that passes there could be an 11th or 12th death. This is a scary experience. I plan to initiate a law suit against Volkswagen for putting me in harms way and not resolving my issue in a timely fashion. I just want to be safe when I travel, not worry about my car being safe enough to drive.”

“Takata recall. Volkswagen of oakland in oakland ca. Refused to replace my airbag. I dropped my car off on 4/05/2017 and when it was returned to me, I was told that they were not going to correct the airbag problem in my car until after june. I contacted vw headquarters and was told that the dealer should have repaired my car because my car was on the list to be repaired. I was acting on a letter that I received in late april from vw advising me to take my car into the nearest dealer to have my airbag repaired.”
