 Description of the problemTakata air bags i just want to know how in the crap the vw people can get away with recalling these cars for faulty equipment that can cause "serious injury or death to occupants" and be so damn irresponsible with the lives of others. There is not time table for repairs so we don't know how long we will be subjected to "serious injury or death". Someone in our government should step up and defend us from these money hungry jerks. Why issue the recall if they are not able to make repairs. I talked with a vw "customer care" representative and he told me my vehicle was perfectly safe to drive yet i have been "warned" a malfunction could lead to "serious injury or death". What are those of us who need our cars to survive to do? Vw offers no loaner car or rental assistance. I think this is crap and if i die because of some defective foreign part i hope someone in charge takes notice so others will not.
