| Description of the problem | I called findlay vw in henderson nv to make appt to have airbag replaced. They said vw does not "have a remedy" and they have no idea when the air bag can be replaced. It is common knowledge vw is dragging their feet in replacing these takata airbags. I want to sell this car since i only bought it in 9/2015. Where can i get the airbag replaced? I have a three year platinum extended warranty thru that covers the airbags. I do not want to drive the car because of the danger. I have read where other manufacturers and replacing the airbags at a good steady pace except for vw, which doesn't seem to be replacing any. What gives? Who can i seek recourse from? |
