Air Bags
02/09/2019
MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A 2008 VW PASSAT 2.0 SEDAN NEW FROM A VW DEALERSHIP AND RECENTLY (WITHIN THE PAST 6-8 MONTHS THE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON FROM TIME TO TIME). BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS NOT A PRIMARY VEHICLE FOR ME OR MY WIFE IT IS SELDOM DRIVEN, BUT ABOUT 2 TO3 MONTHS AGO I NOTICE THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMING ON WHICH IMMEDIATELY CONCERNED ME AND I REMEMBER HEARING ABOUT THE TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL, BUT DUE TO MY/MY WIFE WORK SCHEDULE IT WAS HARD TO GET TO A DEALER, BUT I RECALL RECEIVING NOTIFICATIONS, BUT I HONESTLY WILL HAVE SEARCH FOR THEM. ANYWAY I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO HAGERTY VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I MISSED THREE(3) FACTORY RECALLS AND IF I WANTED THEM DONE NOW I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT MY POCKET. THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON, I AM AFRAID OF BEING INJURED SERIOUSLY OR KILLED. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS IT'S THEY CAN DO ABOUT THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS ONE WHICH WAS NOT TAGGED AS NEEDING ATTENTION, THAT'S MIGHTY NICE THAT MIKE HAGERTY OF ORLAND PARK FEELS THAT WAY. WHAT I WANT KNOW...

I HAD THE RECALL FOR THE FUEL PUMP REPAIRED IN AUGUST 2018 BY THE WILMINGTON DEALERSHIP. I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS EITHER DONE RIGHT OR HOWEVER THEY DID IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IN OCTOBER 2018 MY CAR IS HAVING THE RECALL PROBLEM STARTING AGAIN WHICH IS CAUSING GASOLINE TO RUN OUT IMMEDIATELY AND THIS TIME IT'S WORSE THAN BEFORE THE FUMES ARE NOW IN THE VEHICLE EVEN WHEN THE CAR ISN'T ON. I BELIEVE I SHOULD HAVE THIS RECALL ISSUE REPAIRED AGAIN BECAUSE IT SHOULD NOT HAVE ONLY LASTED 2 MONTHS AND NEEDING THE FUEL PUMP MODULE TO BE REPLACED/REPAIRED AGAIN BUT PROBLEM IS WORSE THE SECOND TIME AROUND. ACCELERATION AND STALLING IS BECOMING MORE OF AN ISSUE AGAIN

MY 2008 VOLKSWAGEN PASSAT ENGINE CUT OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING, IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF I WAS ON THE EXPRESS WAY. FORTUNATELY, I WAS ON A CITY STREET AND WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.
