I BROUGHT A VOLKSWAGEN EOS 2007 AND WAS NOT AWARE OF THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING DEFAULT LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I HIT A SPEEDBUMP. TOOK TO VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND I WAS I HAD PAY TO GET FIXED I DIDNOT FEEL THAT WAS MY RESPONSIBILITY BECAUSE IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE CORRECTED OR RECALL. I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK THAT MORNING AND I TOTAL MY CAR AND I WAS TOLD THAT I WAS DRIVING ON WRONG SIDE OF THE ROAD AND EVERYTHING DONOT REMEMBER NOTHING. I HAD CHEST PAIN FOR OVER A MONTH. I CONTACTED VOLKSWAGEN AND THEY SEND A ENGINEER TO LOOK AT THE CAR BUT THE ENGINEER NEVER CONTACTED ME AS TO HOW THE ACCIDENT HAPPEN. I READ HIS REPORT HE LIE SAYING IT WAS A WEAK BATTERY AS I SAID TOOK TO VOLKSWAGEN DEALERSHIP AND THAT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. I ALSO TALK TO A MECHANIC THAT WORK ON CARS STATED THAT IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT IS ON THE AIRBAG SHOULD NOT HAVE DEPLOYED BUT IT DID. THIS IS MY FIRST TIME PURCHASING A VOLKSWAGEN AND I PAID CASH FOR 20,000 AND I AM OUT OF MY MONEY. THEY TREATED ME LIKE I WAS STUPID AND VERY RUDE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS ONE ELSE IN THE COMPANY I COULD TALK TO. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS. *TR

UNLIKE OTHER VW MODELS, THERE IS NO WAY TO BUCKLE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WITHOUT A TWIST IN THE SEAT BELT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED. THEY COULD NOT FIX IT . THEY CONTACTED VW AND WE WERE TOLD IT IS THE WAY IT WAS ENGINEERED. WE COMPARED IT WITH ANOTHER EOS, WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE THEN COMPARED IT TO A…

UNLIKE OTHER VW MODELS, THERE IS NO WAY TO BUCKLE DRIVER SIDE SEAT BELT WITHOUT A TWIST IN THE SEAT BELT. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE FIXED. THEY COULD NOT FIX IT . THEY CONTACTED VW AND WE WERE TOLD IT IS THE WAY IT WAS ENGINEERED. WE COMPARED IT WITH ANOTHER EOS, WHICH HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WE THEN COMPARED IT TO A PASSAT, WHICH DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. IN ADDITION TO BEING UNCOMFORTABLE, I FEAR THAT IT WILL DECREASE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE SEAT BELT. I ALSO THINK WITH THE DISCOMFORT, PEOPLE MAY NOT WEAR IT. *TR
