Description of the problem | Takata recall i find it deeply concerning that volkswagen wants me to drive around in a leased vehicle that they find so unsafe, they refuse to even sell this vehicle. I received a letter informing me that should i be involved in an accident, the most important safety aspect of the car could essentially act as a bomb, blowing shrapnel in my face. With no current repair solution available, volkswagen refuses to provide any alternative plans to manage this situation in the meantime. Most other manufacturers have been proactive in preventing further injuries and deaths to their customers by providing alternate solutions. Left with no other options, i have no choice but to continue to drive my vehicle and put my life at risk due to volkswagen's negligence. |
