File date	09/07/16

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	There are no parts available to replace the airbags that have been recalled and are a threat to life if they deploy. I bought out my lease two years ago and i believe they knew of this issue but let me buy the car anyway. Also, the recall just said the airbag didn't work properly, not that shards of metal could kill me if it deployed. I only learned this saturday while at the dealer after i put over $300 fixing the start button and $700 putting on new tires. The dealer said he would buy my car for $12,000 only if i bought another vw. This car is a threat to my life and i don't want to drive it. Please take action so we are not forced to gamble with our lives while driving a vehicle we bought and maintained in good faith!

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.

Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
