TAKATA RECALL - AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON - I HAVE 2 AIRBAG ISSUES AND HAVE ASKED VW TO ASSIST WITH RENTAL CAR AS LONG AS THEY CANNOT REMEDY A NEW TAKATA AIR BAG, AND DEALER INFORMS IT WILL BE MONTHS. CONTACTED THE DEALER AND VW AMERICA SEVERAL TIMES FOR ASSISTANCE FOR TEMPORARY CAR REPLACEMENT IF THEY CANNOT FIX THE TAKATA AIRBAG, VW AMERICA CALL CENTER DOES NOT HELP AND THEIR SERVICE CENTER IS SNEAKY TO RING MY CELL NO AND LEAVE NO MESSAGE TO DOCUMENT A RECORD OF CUST SERVIC- WITH NO SOLUTION. YET DEALER DID SAY ANOTHER CUSTOMER ASKED FOR RE-IMBURSEMENTS OF RENTAL CAR AND NOW VW REFUSES TO WORK WITH CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE RENTED CARS, THE PROBLEM HAS LEFT ME OUT OF POCKET FOR HUNDRED OF DOLLARS. ACCORDING TO VW AMERICA THEY DO NOT HAVE A PROGRAM ' THAT IS THEIR DECISION NOT TO HELP CUSTOMERS MANUFACTURE NEEDS TO PROVIDE. THIS IS COMPLETE NEGLIGENCE ON BEHALF OF VW AMERICA. HONDA IS COVERING THEIR CUSTOMERS.
