What owners wrote
In an accident I was struck by another vehicle that swerved into my lane at a very high rate of speed. His vehicle struck my car on the drivers side front quater panel just after the head light and continued past the drivers door. Air bags failed to deploy causing injuries to my head and body. In a separate accident, head on collision the airbags failed in the front and side causing bodily injuries.
Received airbag recall notice from VW. Called local dealer was referred to VW america. VW is doing nothing for customers as NHTSA has not issued a do not drive order. How many deaths will it take to force VW into doing what is right for consumers or for NHTSA to issue a do not drive order?. If my wife drives her car, and is injured, I will be holding VW and the NHTSA responsible.
