TAKATA RECALL - I RECEIVED A NOTICE OF THIS RECALL ALMOST A YEAR AGO, AND JUST CONTACTED THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO PROJECTED DATE FOR THE REPAIR. AFTER READING ABOUT THIS, IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING VERY DANGEROUS TO BE LEFT UNREPAIRED WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE TECHNICIAN COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,700.

WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG TO IMPLEMENT A FIX FOR THE TAKATA DRIVER-SIDE AIRBAG RECALL? MAKES ME NERVOUS TO DRIVE THE CAR AND FRUSTRATED THAT THERE IS AN UN-ACTIONED RECALL.
