NOTHING HAPPENED, SIMPLY I RECEIVED THE LETTER FROM VOLKSWAGEN AND AN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COMPLIANCE RECALL 69V2 - DRIVER AIRBAG. THIS NOTICE WAS SENT TO ME IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE NATIONAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY ACT. VOLKSWAGEN HAS DECIDED THAT CERTAIN 2017-2018 MODEL YEAR VOLKSWAGEN TIGUAN LIMITED VEHICLES FAIL TO CONFORM TO FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD (FMVSS) NO. 208 "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION." THEIR RECORDS SHOW THAT I AM THE OWNER OF A VEHICLE AFFECTED BY THIS ACTION.
RECEIVED THE RECALL LETTER ON AIRBAG FROM VW. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THAT A RECALL PARTS NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER. RECEIVED THE CONFIRMATION LETTER FROM THEM AND ATTACHED IT. I HOPE THIS IS SUFFICIENT EVIDENCE TO SHIP MY CAR TO KOREA.
THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON IN MY VEHICLE AND IT WAS NOT LISTED ON THE AIRBAG RECALL LIST. HAS THERE BEEN AN UNPUBLISHED UPDATE ON THE RECALL? THE CAR WAS IDLING IN DRIVEWAY.
WHILE DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED OR DECELERATING THE ENGINE WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE RUNS SO QUIETLY THE ONLY INDICATION THAT IT HAS STALLED IS THERE IS NO POWER AND THE STEERING BECOMES MORE DIFFICULT AS THE VEHICLE GETS SLOWER. IT DOESN'T SEEM TO MATTER YOUR SPEED, IT WILL JUST STALL AND THIS CAN BE INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS. ORIGINALLY HAPPENED IN 2017 AND TOOK TO THE VW DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN TODAY AND EARLIER THIS WEEK 8/19/2018
