2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC Air Bags Problems

While I was driving I notice my steering wheel making a crumbling of plastic noise when I made any kind of turn . A few days later my Airbag error lamp started to blink. I parked and restarted my engine then the airbag became solid . My dash read “Airbag Error” . I notice all my steering wheel buttons do not work . Came home and neither does my horn . My car has never been in accident , but I feel it’s a safety hazard . I’m basically driving mute and I’m sure my airbag will not deploy in case of accident . Also, Vw does have a recall on the Clock spring but was never completed due to not hearing back from manufacturer . That was a few years back and do not understand how recalls work , but a recall was started for a reason and NOT completed. Is that even possible? This a serious safety issue if I’m in an accident without an Airbag . Also the horn will not work in case to warn other drivers of a possible fatal hazard

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC. WHILE THE CONTACT WAS APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE REAR PASSENGER DOOR OF HER VEHICLE AT A SPEED OF BETWEEN 55-70 MPH. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ONLY THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DEPLOYED. NONE OF THE SIDE IMPACT AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE IMPACT OF THE CRASH CAUSED THE GEAR SHIFT, DASHBOARD, AND BATTERY COMPARTMENTS OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE TO CRUMBLE INWARD AND BREAK APART. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT'S RIGHT LEG AND HIP WERE PINNED DOWN. THE CONTACT STRUCK THE WINDSHIELD AND SUFFERED A DISLOCATED KNEE CAP, PELVIS FRACTURES IN THREE PLACES, FOUR BROKEN RIBS, NINE STITCHES TO THE FOREHEAD, CUTS AND BRUISES ON BOTH ARMS, TWO SEIZURES, AND A BURN TO THE FACE DUE TO THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG.

TAKATA INFLATORS. I WENT AND GOT MY FUEL PUMP RECALL COMPLETED MONTHS AGO AND MY LOCAL DEALER DIDN'T HAVE THE PARTS TO COMPLETE THE AIRBAG RECALL. THEY SAID IT TAKES ABOUT A MONTH OR TWO TO RECEIVE THE PART AND IT HAS BEEN MUCH LONGER THAN THAT AND THEY STILL AREN'T ABLE TO COMPLETE THE RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS RECENTLY COME ON AND I SAW THAT THERE IS ALSO A RECALL FOR A CLOCK SPRING. I GOT MY CAR CHECKED BY A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I WOULD NEED A CLOCK SPRING REPLACEMENT. I NOTIFIED VOLKSWAGEN OF THIS AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL BUT HOW CAN THAT BE WHEN THE EFFECTED MODELS ARE VOLKSWAGEN CC 2011-2014. THEY ARE REFUSING TO MAKE REPAIRS ON MY VEHICLE. I AM 8 MONTHS PREGNANT AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE ON MY COMMUTE TO AND FROM WORK. MY LOCAL DEALER IS UNRELIABLE AS THEY ARE NEVER ABLE TO COMPLETE REPAIRS. WHEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TURNING INTO A RESTAURANT AND HEARD A CLICKING SOUND AND THE LIGHT CAME ON. MY HORN NO LONGER WORKS NOR DO THE BUTTONS ON MY STEERING WHEEL.

"TAKATA RECALL" WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL VOLKSWAGEN DEALER OVER 6 MONTHS AGO TO GET OUR AIRBAG RECALL TAKEN CARE OF. TO DATE, THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED OR EVEN PLACED ON THE SCHEDULE. OUR LOCAL DEALER HAS BLAMED VW CORPORATE THE ENTIRE WAY. WE ARE GOING ON VACATION JULY 14TH-21ST 2018 AND REACHED OUT TO VW CORPORATE FOR HELP IN THE WAY OF A LOANER VEHICLE. AFTER AN HOUR AND A HALF ON HOLD, THEY HAVE NOT COME UP WITH ANY SUITABLE OPTIONS. THEY ARE REFUSING A RENTAL CAR AND CAN NOT GUARANTEE THAT OUR CAR WILL BE FIXED BEFORE WE LEAVE. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR AND WE'VE BEEN DRIVING IT DAILY BECAUSE WE HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE. OUR CHILDREN WILL BE IN THIS CARD DURING VACATION AND VW DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE.

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE BOUGHT A PRE-OWNED 2013 VW CC FROM A DEALERSHIP EARLIER THIS YEAR (FEB/MARCH 2017). I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF ANY OPEN RECALLS OR THAT THERE MIGHT BE ONE. SINCE FINDING OUT ABOUT THE RECALL, I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT WITH VW DEALERS AROUND ME, BUT WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO FIXES AVAILABLE AND THAT ALL I CAN DO IS WAIT FOR THE FIX TO BE IMPLEMENTED. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. I HAVE CONSISTENT 1+ HOUR DRIVES AND I AM NOT COMFORTABLE WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS AN ACTIVE RECALL FOR A SERIOUS ISSUE FOR THE VEHICLE I RELY ON DAILY. ADDITIONALLY, I AM NOT ABLE TO TRADE IN THE CAR DUE TO THE RECALL, UNLESS I ACCEPT UNREASONABLY LOW OFFERS.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN CC. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A RECALL NOTIFICATION FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V078000 (AIR BAGS). THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FROM THE VOLKSWAGEN RECALL SITE RE: STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG & CLOCK SPRING. SUMMARY: VOLKSWAGEN GROUP OF AMERICA, INC. (VOLKSWAGEN) IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010-2014 VOLKSWAGEN CC VEHICLES. IN THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, DEBRIS MAY CONTAMINATE THE AIR BAG CLOCK SPRING, A SPIRAL WOUND, FLAT CABLE THAT KEEPS THE AIR BAG POWERED WHILE THE STEERING WHEEL IS BEING TURNED. THIS CONTAMINATION MAY TEAR THE CABLE AND RESULT IN A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG. CONSEQUENCE: A LOSS OF ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE DRIVER'S FRONTAL AIR BAG WILL PREVENT THE AIR BAG FROM DEPLOYING IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH, INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY. THE LOCAL VW DEALER SAYS OUR CAR IS NOT INCLUDED HOWEVER, NOTHING WORKS ON THE STEERING WHEEL AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IN THE DASH IS ON. WHEN CONTACTING VW DIRECT I AM TOLD NHTSA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPANDING THE RECALL TO INCLUDE OUR VIN. QUESTIONS? IS OUR CAR SAFE TO DRIVE? IF WE HAVE A FRONT END COLLISION WILL THE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG WORK? IF NHTSA IS AWARE OF 420,000 RECALLS FOR THIS SAME ISSUE WILL THE RECALL BE EXPANDED TO COVER OTHER VIN? THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE FIX AND ALL LOGIC TELLS ME IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL RECALL.

TAKATA RECALL. VOLKSWAGEN HAS NO INFORMATION ON WHEN THIS RECALL WILL BE FIXED. I WAS NOTIFIED IN APRIL 2016 THAT THE AIRBAG IN MY CAR WAS ONE OF THE ONES THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND WAS POTENTIALLY A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. I HAVE BEEN VERY PATIENT IN WAITING FOR THIS RECALL TO BE ADDRESSED AND IT HAS NOT. IN SPEAKING WITH A VOLKSWAGEN REPRESENTATIVE THIS MORNING AT THEIR HEADQUARTERS I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THIS WILL BE DONE. I FIND THAT A LITTLE CONCERNING. I LEASED THIS VEHICLE IN GOOD FAITH AND HAVE NOT BEEN GIVEN ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHEN THIS WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF OR ANY ALTERNATIVES I HAVE SINCE THIS IS A LEASE AND IT IS NOT SOMETHING I CAN JUST GO TRADE-IN FOR ANOTHER VEHICLE. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW THAT VOLKSWAGEN IS DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. I AM GETTING THE IMPRESSION THAT THIS IS NOT THE CASE.

"TAKATA INFLATORS" - I RECEIVED A LETTER IN APRIL OF 2016 STATING THAT MY CAR IS SUBJECT TO THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. THE LETTER STATED THAT "A RECALL REPAIR IS NOT YET AVAILABLE." IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER AND I HAVE STILL RECEIVED NO INDICATION AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE NOR WHEN THE REPAIR WILL BE MADE. I HAVE CALLED VW FINANCE AND THEY TOLD ME TO CALL VW CORPORATE. I CALLED VW CORPORATE AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE A TIMELINE AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE IN. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THE LETTER FROM VW STATES VERBATIM: "TAKATA HAS REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS." I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY DRIVING IN THIS VEHICLE!!! I HAVE CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEIR RESPONSE IS: "REMEMBER, THERE ARE 60 MILLION CARS TO BE REPAIRED WORLDWIDE. TROPICAL CLIMATE AREAS WILL BE FIXED FIRST. REPAIRS WILL GO SOUTH TO NORTH FOR CUSTOMERS, THEN SOUTH TO NORTH FOR DEALERS. DUE TO THE CLIMATE IN THE NORTHEAST THE CONDITIONS DON'T MATCH THE WEATHER THAT IS THE PROBLEM. IT IS, APPARENTLY, A COMBINATION ON HEAT AND HUMIDITY. VW DID NOT MAKE THE AIRBAGS. THERE ARE (3) COMPANIES IN THE WORLD MAKING THE REPLACEMENTS.THAT IS ALL THE INFO I HAVE, FOR NOW." UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!! VOLKSWAGEN WILL FIND THE PARTS WHEN SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED!! THIS IS A TRAVESTY!!

MY VEHICLE HAS A RECALL FOR THE AIRBAG WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT I TOOK MY CAR TO VOLKSWAGON AND THEY SAID THEY PUT A COVER OVER THE CLOCK SPRING AND THE RECALL STATES THAT IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOT ON YET THEY ARE TO JUST PUT A COVER OVER IT TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF DIRT AND DUST THAT GETS IN THERE IF YOUR AIRBAG LIGHT IS NO WHICH MY IS CORRECT STILL THEY ARE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE CLOCKSPRING WHICH THEY DID NOT THAT IS WHY MY CAR IS STILL TELLING ME THEREGARDING IS A MALFUNCTION OBVIOUSLY SO I TOOK MY CAR BACK TO VOLKSWAGON THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A DIAGNOSIS TEST FOR $100 WHICH MAKES NO SENSE BECAUSE IT'S THEIR RECALL NOT MINE WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY WHEN IT'S CLEARY A RECALL IN WHICH IF THEY JUST REPLACED IT IT WOULD MOST LIKELY FIX IT START DATE 02-09-2016 DESCRIPTION TAKATA HAS REPORTED THAT THE DRIVER FRONTAL AIRBAG INFLATOR COULD POTENTIALLY RUPTURE IF THE VEHICLE IS INVOLVED IN A CRASH WHERE THE FRONTAL AIRBAGS ARE DESIGNED TO DEPLOY. IN THE EVENT OF AN INFLATOR RUPTURE, METAL FRAGMENTS COULD PASS THROUGH THE AIRBAG CUSHION MATERIAL, WHICH MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO VEHICLE OCCUPANTS. REMEDY REPLACE DRIVER AIRBAG INFLATOR.

TAKATA RECALL; BECAUSE VW APPARENTLY DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS AND REFUSED TO OFFER A TIMELY FIX TO THIS PROBLEM, I DECIDED RATHER THAT DRIVE A POTENTIAL BOMB, TO GET RID OF THE CAR, SUFFERING A SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLAR DECREASE IN VALUE AT TRADE-IN BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM.

TAKATA RECALL: I WAS NOTIFIED IN APRIL THAT MY CAR WAS ONE THAT HAD A DEFECTIVE AIRBAG THAT COULD POTENTIALLY EXPLODE AND KILL ME (NICE). IT IS NOW MID WAY THROUGH AUGUST IN GA ( HIGH RISK/HUMIDITY STATE) AND I AM STILL BEING TOLD THERE IS NO TIME FRAME AS TO WHEN THE PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE. THIS TO IS UNACCEPTABLE SEEING AS THIS IS MY ONLY FORM OF TRANSPORTATION (CAN'T RENT A CAR FOR A YEAR).

NOTHING HAS HAPPENED YET, I RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE AND HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS 3 TIMES IN THE PAST 4 MONTHS, EACH TIME I REQUEST FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL TO BE FIXED AND EVERY TIME I AM TOLD THEY DON'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT OR REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR IT. I WAS JUST RECENTLY INVOLVED IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT IN WHICH THE DRIVERS AIRBAG AND KNEE BOLSTERS FAILED TO DEPLOY, CAUSING ME PRETTY SEVERE PAIN AND INJURY. I AM NOW AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW VOLKSWAGEN SINCE I HAVE RECEIVED THE SAFETY RECALL NOTICE.

THE NEARBY VW OF VENTURA DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE LOANER WHILE THEY FIX THE RECALL ISSUE AS PER NHTSA DIRECTIVES. THE SERVICE MANAGER LAUGHED AT ME OVER THE PHONE SAYING THERE IS NO REMEDY SO GO AND DO WHATEVER YOU WANT AS WE DON'T PROVIDE LOANERS. I'M SPEECHLESS. I HAVE A DISABLED FAMILY MEMBER TO CARRY TO APPOINTMENTS. I'M MORE THAN UPSET. DESPITE THIS FACT THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND I WAS NOT AWARE OF RECALL , NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION LETTER ABOUT IT FROM VW. PLEASE HELP!

TAKATA RECALL: OUR CAR HAS A TAKATA RECALL. WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING OR HAVING OUR 17 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVING IT. NO RENTAL OR LOANERS HAVE BEEN OFFERED. ACCORDING TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AT VW CUSTOMER CARE THE NHTSA IS NOT REQUIRING THEM TO OFFER THIS. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO RENT A VEHICLE INDEFINITELY (THERE IS NO TIMEFRAME FOR REPAIR), RECALL STATES THE PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN DEATH, IT SEEMS ILLEGAL NOT TO HAVE A SAFE CAR PROVIDED UNTIL A REPAIR IS AVAILABLE.

VW IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO SOLVE THE TAKATA SDI DRIVER AIRBAG RECALL! CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, PALMETTO 57TH IN MIAMI. SPOKE TO SERVICE MANAGER ROLANDO WHO ADVISED THEY COULD NOT PROVIDE LOANER UNLESS VW CORPORATE AUTHORIZED IT, AND VW HAD NO SOLUTION AT THE MOMENT. CALLED VW CORPORATE AT 1-800-893-5298 AND WAS ADVISED THAT VW IS NOT PROVIDING LOANER CARS, AND WOULD NOT TEMPORARILY REMOVE AIRBAGS UNTIL THEY FIND A SOLUTION. I ADVISED THAT I HAVE A PREGNANT WIFE, AND NEED A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. THEY STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BASED ON THE CORPORATE POLICY THAT HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED BY VW. MY COUSIN-IN-LAW HAS AN ACURA TL WITH THE SAME AIRBAG PROBLEM. HE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND GOT A RENTAL CAR AT NO COST UNTIL HIS CAR CAN BE FIXED. I GUESS SOMEONE HAS TO DIE IN ORDER FOR VW TO TAKE CORPORATE ACTION. I PRAY THAT IS NOT MY WIFE AND MY UNBORN BABY! PS: WE OWN THREE LATE MODEL VW'S. WE ARE SELLING ALL OF THEM AND NEVER BUYING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN!

TAKATA RECALL SINCE THERE IS A CHANCE THAT MY DRIVER AIRBAG WON'T GET ACTIVATED IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT, I AM VERY CONCERNED OF MY SAFETY. THIS CC IS THE 4TH VEHICLE I LEASE FROM VW SINCE 2009. IN THE INTERIM , UNTIL VW AND TAKATA DECIDE ON THE RESOLUTION OF THIS MAJOR DEFECT, WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MY POSSIBLE INJURIES/DEATH IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT? SHOULDN'T VW BE MORE CONCERNED OF MY SAFETY WHILE THEY RESOLVE THE PROBLEM? SHOULDN'T THEY GIVE ME A TEMPORARY VEHICLE TO DRIVE MEANWHILE? IT IS POTENTIOLLY A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION. WHAT ARE MY RIGHT IN THAT CASE?
