 Description of the problemTakata recall - i just called vw corp office and they said they are not providing temporary transportation until the part is in. They stated "nhtsa advised them that there was no danger driving the vehicle until the part comes in which is why vw is not providing a loaner vehicle." please make it mandatory that these dealers provide a loaner vehicle. It is the right thing to do. I owned a ford which had a recall for a speed switch. Ford never got the part in so they unplugged it. When i went to have my vehicle serviced at a local garage. They plugged the piece back in. Later than month the switch caused the vehicle to burn down. The vehicle normally was parked in the garage underneath my daughters bedroom but the vehicle was in an accident and was being repaired at the body shop. The night before picking it up it had burnt down there at the body shop. Several people died over that ford recall because ford never fixed the issue. We are not protecting the consumer on this takata recall if we are not mandating replacement veh while waiting for the part. Again vw stated nhsta told them the vehicle was okay to drive. At the very least the airbag should be removed so that it does not explode metal objects into someone's face thus killing them. Pls mandate either a loaner vehicle or removal of the airbag until the airbag can be fixed. Removal of the airbag should be an option for the consumer. I have an acura & they are providing a rental car until the part comes in. It is the right thing to do. Nhtsa must make better decisions on behalf of the consumers safety since some of the auto makers are only concerned about there profits. Auto makers are selling new cars with this defective airbag even though legislation has tried to make laws concerning the sale of autos w/ active recalls. I expect more from nhtsa & our govt.
