Description of the problem | Takata recall - i received this recall stating that my air bag, should i be involved in an accident, could explode sending metal shrapnel into my face, and this recall has no repair available yet. I contacted volkswagen asking for a rental until they can repair it. They told me that since no vw owners have had any injuries the recall is voluntary. I find this completely unacceptable. I have to drive this car every day to and from work and with my children in the vehicle. Each time i get behind the wheel i run the possibility of serious injury or death occurring if i should have a collision. |
