What owners wrote

"takata recall!" recieved recall letter in jan. 2016. Everytime I call dealership im told parts are not in. My car already stopped running and I had to have it towed into a mechanic where he knew that the fuel injection issue was a recall. I had to pay him $100.00 for taking my car apart and telling me it was a familiar issue he had when working on another VW..and that I should call VW and ask if there was a recall. Of course, there was. I then had to pay for a 2nd tow from that shop to VW.

Reported at 104 miles, January 2016 CrashInjury

There have been three recalls on my vehicle, and it has been two and a half years since the first one and no remedy has been made. It affects my front airbags, which is extremely dangerous or my passengers and myself. Also, I have had to take the car into the shop for multiple other reasons caused by the fuel pump recall on it.
