Description of the problem | "takata recall" hello i just wanted to state that i love my car but i have received not one but twice a recall on my car. The first was about my windshield wipers but now the driver airbag....? I first looked up the severity of the defect to find serious injuries and even death has been the result of the defected part not properly working... This is very alarming because anything can happen with motorists on the road and it doesn't have to be your fault. So i called the local volkswagen dealership to inquire about what am i to do having this by law unsafe vehicle note my only vehicle in which i'm still paying for and only had a little over a year with. I drive my car everyday and am at risk everyday with a wife and child who also ride with me and my wife drives from time to time. They told me they had not received the parts to correct this issue yet and i will receive a letter when they do. I expressed my concern and truly feel that volkswagen is responsible for at least offering a replacement vehicle due to its their error for safety inspections and checks until the matter is resolved. I expressed also after they denied any help other than to wait wow id rather had not known than to have to get in my car everyday wondering if my air bag is going to kill me... I truly feel that this issue was and is not being taken seriously at all and i as an paying law abiding have rights. This is negligence and i have read where this negligence led to loss of life! |
