Description of the problem | Takata recall. On 8/4/16 i was informed of the air bag recall on my vehicle i am currently leasing. I never received a letter informing me of this issue. My lease is ending soon and i was going to buy the vehicle until the manager informed me that i could not purchase the vehicle because it had a present ongoing recall that states no remedy yet for this issue, i believe it is volkswagen responsibility to take this car off my hands and clear my balance due to their manufacturer unsafe defects in the air bag. Everyday i am putting myself at an even higher risk of driving because my air bags have been recalled stating more harm then good will occur in the event of an accident. It is only right they accept the vehicle back without me being financially responsible for it. |
