Takata recall - the intial recall for vw was februay 2016. Six months later there is still no replacement or repair available. There has to be more than one company that makes airbag inflators! danger of serious injury or death - should be a motivator to fix this problem.

2011 volkswagen eos.consumer writes in regards to replacement parts not available to repair driver frontal airbag recall notice.
I received the recall letter back in april regarding the defective airbags.they're telling us that the replacement airbags are still not available.we are very fearful of driving the car knowing this could in fact could cause death.we know they continue to make new cars with airbags that are not defective, so this is disturbing to know the people that have the older models with defective airbags are being neglected.this is wrong!they need to fix the old cars first before selling new cars!
Takata recall.i was informed of the recall on my airbag a year ago, on february 9, 2016.vw does not yet have a repair available.i believe a year with a defective and dangerous airbag is too long to wait.
Takata recall. Receive notice that i have faulty takataairbags a few years ago. Approximately one year later i received a notice that a temporary repair was available that would swap the original airbag with a replacement module of the original design that did not include a drying agent. That notice was clear that this was onlyan interimrepair until a redesigned unit is available.i had the interim repair done on my vehicle. I noticed now that when searching for recalls, it says there are no active recalls on my vehicle. This is very concerning because they have not addressed the underlying design defect, and because there is not an active recall on the vehicle it seems that at this time it will not be fixed. Please contact volkswagen and ensure that they are addressing the needed redesign of the airbag module. Thank you
Started my car after work and noticed half my exterior lights didn't work. Checked the fuses and f16 fuse was melted.
My wife was sitting in her vehicle at work when a dump truck was backing up towards her vehicle. She tried to alert the truck driver using the horn. The horn did not make a sound. The key was not in the ignition. After contacting vw dealer about the horn i was told that the key has to be in the ignition to power the horn. I find this to be a safety issue. I also asked if the air bag would function under the same condition and i was told probably not. I could think of a scenario where this could also be a safety issue. It seems to me that an engineering solution needs to be updated for a passive situation such as in my wives case.
Car has 72,319 miles. Oil has been changed at 10,000 miles or less. The tensioner spring broke and the timing belt shifted causing alot of engine damage. However, i was notified by vw dealers or manufacture about the tsb manufacturer communication no.: tb-15-12-01 component(s): enginenhtsa id number: 10045560 which i was never notified about. I have a $5,300 repair for a $120.00 dollar part! can you help me with a recall? thank you. [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving out of town at approximately50 mph when my car suddenly slowed to approximately 20 mph.i could not get the vehicle to go above 20 mph.i pulled it off of the road and turned the car off.i restarted and again it would not get past 20 mph.when i switched the car to manual mode it would not go past 2nd gear.after a few hours of sitting the car worked properly.i contacted a dealership in the area i was traveling and they said it sounded like the car was going into "limp mode" and that vw had had tons of complaints about that over the last several years.i drove the car home.seven days later, the exact thing happened and i contacted my local dealership about the problem who informed me "they had not had any type of complaint similar to what i was describing".they did however conduct a safety recall on my vehicle.i took my car to another mechanic because my concern is driving on the interstate and having the car abruptly slowing down and being struck from behind or if i am turning, not being able to complete my turn before someone strikes me from the side.that mechanic also saw what i was explaining and said that the dealership needed to fix it because it should be covered under a warranty.it did the same thing as i was leaving the shop so i had it towed to my local vw dealership.after driving the car several days the mechanic at the dealershipfound the problem and said that the dsg transmission assembly needed to be replaced.when i asked about a warranty, they said i was not covered, however in the last 10 years there were over 53,000 vws and audis that had the same problem and had a recall.i don't understand if this is having the same problem, why mine is not covered.
Vehicle has no power from stopped position when on a hill. Vehicle eventually has power after 5-6 seconds. Brakes must be applied and then car surges forward.vehicles response on level ground varies from non-responsive to irregular to full power. Dealer provided 3 page document entitled "momentary delay with dsg gearbox" outlining steps to take but will not take any corrective action with the vehicle.

The clock spring in my car has failed requiring complete replacement. This complete failure comes a short 9 months after the initial 'repair' done following a vw recall on the part-they simply placed a cover over the original clock spring. They tell me that they will not cover the replacement of the part, because i had the initial safety check done at the time of the initial recall and the part was deemed functional at that point- even though they were aware it would most likely eventually fail.
