2010 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT Air Bags Problems

The car was hit broadside on the passenger side front door, spun around and hit head in to a power pole. With all this happening none of the airbags deployed.

In 2018, my VW clockspring/airbag was replaced under the VW recall. Last week the airbag clockspring failed, causing my air bag pop out. Luckily I was not driving. There is no current recall on the recalled replacement and this is unacceptable. I took my VW back to the dealer that did the work and they stated that there was no recall and they would not replace. It is incredibly dangerous that this has happened. I am very angry that VW's replacement would not hold up for the lifetime of the car nor will they honor their parts.

MY AIRBAG AND HORN DO NOT WORK DUE TO A FAILURE OF THE AIRBAG CLOCK SPRING. THIS PART WAS RECALLED ON CERTAIN VEHICLES PREVIOUSLY. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS I CANNOT USE MY HORN AND OF COURSE THE AIRBAG IS NEEDED. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE I CANNOT USE THE HORN TO ALERT OTHER DRIVERS. I HAD SOMEONE COME INTO MY LANE WHICH ALMOST CAUSED A PRETTY BIG ACCIDENT

MY VEHICLE WAS A PART OF THE CLOCKSPRING RECALL FOR VW IN 2015. THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS NOW ON AND ALL STEERING WHEEL ELECTRICAL CONTROLS ARE NO LONGER WORKING. MECHANIC SAYS IT IS A FAILURE OF THE CLOCKSPRING IN THE STEERING WHEEL.

VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR AIR BAG/CLOCK SPRING REASON TWICE IN JUST OVER A YEAR. NOW, SHORTLY AFTER BOTH OF THESE REPAIRS, WE HAD A NOISE IN THE STEERING WHEEL, AS WELL AS AN AIR BAG FAILURE INDICATOR ILLUMINATE. WE CANNOT HELP BUT FEEL THIS IS RELATED TO THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN PERFORMED ON THESE RECENT RECALLS AND FEEL VW SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF THESE REPAIRS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHILE MAKING A TURN. ATTACHED IS A COPY OF THE SERVICE RECORD.

TAKATA RECALL - WAITING SEVERAL YEARS FOR PERMANENT AUTHORIZED REPAIR!

TAKATA RECALL, VOLKSWAGEN WAITED FOR OVER 1 1/2 YEARS TO RECALL AND THEN THE "FIX" WAS TO REPLACE WITH "NEW/OLD STOCK" AND SAID WOULD REPLACE THIS AT A LATER DATE WITH A FINAL FIX. WAITING ALMOST 2 YEARS TO FIX (NOT REALLY) A LIFE ENDANGERING DEFECTIVE PART WITH A SIMILAR PART IS NOT A RECALL REPAIR. VOLKSWAGEN CONTINUES TO IMPORT AND BUILD NEW VEHICLES WITH AIR BAGS BUT HAS NOT PLACED A HIGH PRIORITY ON REPAIRING THE RECALL. FOR THE PROTECTION OF CUSTOMERS WHO SPENT AS I DID NEARLY $30,000 ON A UNSAFE POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING PRODUCT I WOULD EXPECT A MANUFACTURER TO TAKE A RECALL MORE SERIOUSLY AND IF NOT FOR THE PROPER GOVERNMENT AGENCY TO TAKE ACTION. AT THIS TIME VOLKSWAGEN OFFERS NO TENTATIVE DATE FOR CORRECTION OF THE AIR BAG DEFECT. VOLKSWAGEN HAS NOT TAKEN MY REQUEST FOR THE VEHICLE TO BE BOUGHT BACK OR IMMEDIATELY PROPERLY FIXED AS 99% OF ALL PRODUCT RECALLS ARE HANDLED BUT SO FAR HAS NOT BEEN HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR AN UNACCEPTABLE DELAY IN A REMEDY OF THE RECALL. *JS

TAKATA RECALL: I RECEIVED MY FIRST NOTICE FROM VOLKSWAGEN IN FEBRUARY OF 2016. I VISITED MY LOCAL DEALER ON MARCH 20, 2017, MORE THAN ONE YEAR LATER, AND THEY DO NOT HAVE PARTS AND CANNOT PROVIDE GUIDANCE AS TO WHEN THEY WILL. GIVEN THE SERIOUSNESS OF THE AIRBAG RECALL, I FIND THIS UNACCEPTABLE AS A CONSUMER. IS THERE ANY WAY TO RAISE THE PRIORITY OF MAKING THE NECESSARY PARTS AVAILABLE?

THIS IS ALMOST A ONE-YEAR OLD RECALL WITH NO RESOLUTION. WHAT IS VOLKSWAGEN USING FOR NEW PASSATS? COULD I NOT HAVE ONE OF THOSE INSTALLED?

TAKATA RECALL, NHTSA 16V078. WHY IS THIS SAFETY ISSUE NOT REPAIRED ON OUR CAR, IF THIS CAN CAUSE AN INJURY WHEN YOU NEED IT THE MOST. IF VW CANNOT FIX THIS ISSUE, WHY ARE WE NOT GIVEN A LOANER CAR UNTIL THIS RECALL CAN BE RESOLVED? SEE COMPLAINT # 10933840.

TAKATA, 69M9, , TRIED CALLING TAKATA, AND EMAIL TO VW.COM, I CAN'T GET A CONTACT. CAN YOU PROVIDE EMAIL FOR VW, I DON'T THINK DRIVING A CAR THAT MAY BLIND, KILL, OR CAUSE INJURY IS ACCEPTABLE, THIS VEHICLE IS REQUIRED FOR WORK EVERY DAY. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO CONTACT AT VW. *TR

TAKATA RECALL I HAVE RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE (3 MONTHS AGO) & AM CONCERNED THAT IN THE EVENT OF A COLLUSION, IF THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED THAT I OR ONE OF MY PASSENGERS COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I SPOKE TO A REPRESENTATIVE FROM VOLKSWAGEN TODAY THAT ADVISED THAT THE ISSUE IS TYPICALLY FOR CONCERN IN CARS 6 YEARS & OLDER, OF WHICH MINE IS OVER 6 YEARS OLD NOW. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BELIEVING THAT THE MANUFACTURERS WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE A CAR THEY MANUFACTURED THAT COULD POTENTIALLY HAVE SUCH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. I FAIL TO UNDERSTAND THAT A COMPANY CAN HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH SUCH DEVASTATING CONSEQUENCES & YET THEY CANNOT FACILITATE THE REPAIRS IN A REASONABLE TIME & WORST STILL NOT GIVE THEIR CUSTOMERS A DATE AS TO WHEN THE REPAIR COULD BE DONE. I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE A CASE FOR LITIGATION IF I AM INJURED BUT I WOULD HAVE TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES OF THOSE INJURIES OR DEATH & NO AMOUNT OF MONEY COULD GIVE ME THE PEACE OF MIND I EXPECTED TO HAVE WHEN BUYING A VOLKSWAGEN VEHICLE.

VEHICLE HAS 32,000 MILES AND AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON. HORN DOES NOT WORK SO THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN FOR THE CLOCK SPRING RECALL. HORN WORKS BUT AIRBAG LIGHT IS STILL ON. DEALER RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE "PASSENGER OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM" AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $3,000.00. CALLED VW CUSTOMER CARE AND OPENED A CASE WITH THEM, BUT BECAUSE OF THE TIME (NOT MILEAGE) THEY REFUSE TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD NOT OCCUR HAVING OWNED THE VEHICLE 5 YEARS AND DRIVEN IT 32,000 MILES. *TR

TAKATA RECALL-EXCESSIVE DELAY PROCESSING RECALL

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL- I HAVE BEEN CALLING EVERY 60 DAYS SINCE INITIAL RECALL ANNOUNCEMENT CAME OUT IN FEB 2016 AND HAVE BEEN TOLD VW DOES NOT HAVE THE PARTS FROM TAKATA YET AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHEN THEY WILL. THEY SAY IT COULD BE A MONTH AND IT COULD BE 2 YEARS OR MORE, THEY DON'T KNOW. I CALLED AS RECENTLY AS TODAY AND SPOKE TO TRACY IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT OF MY LOCAL BRANDON VW DEALER. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD THAT VW WILL NOT GIVE NOR REIMBURSE FOR A RENTAL AND I GET TOLD TIME AND TIME AGAIN "THIS IS NOT A VW ISSUE IS A TAKATA ISSUE". I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF ME AND MY FAMILY. WHAT ELSE CAN I DO BESIDES HAVE MY FAMILY SUE AFTER (GOD FORBID) SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ME.

THIS IS RIDICULOUS, WE RECEIVED A LETTER IN FEBRUARY FOR THE TAKADA AIRBAG RECALL AND THERE IS STILL NO REMEDY TO FIX IT?!! THIS IS THE MOST LAZIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN!

PODS - WHEN I WENT TO GET THE WHEEL CLOCK SPRING RECALL REPAIR, I STILL HAD A AIRBAG ERROR LIT - MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A FAULTY PASSENGER OCCUPANT DEVICE SYSTEM SWITCH. I ONLY HAVE 32K MILES ON MY CAR AND I VERY RARELY HAVE ANYONE RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, SO NOT SURE WHY IT FAILED - WAS QUOTED A PRICE OF 3K FOR THE PART. JETTA AND GOLF MODELS HAVE A RECALL FOR THIS, BUT NOT THE PASSAT - IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR THOSE MODELS, IT SHOULD BE ONE FOR THE PASSAT AS WELL.
