2007 Volkswagen Jetta

MY CRASH SENSOR'S WENT OFF FOR NO REASON. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT AT ALL. THIS IS CAUSING AN AIRBAG FAULT LIGHT TO BE ON IN MY CAR AND FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT WORK NOW IF THE LIGHT IS ON. THE PREVIOUS OWNER OF MY CAR HAD THIS SAME FAULT FIXED (WITH ONLY ABOUT 20,000 MILES ON THE ODO). THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OUT THERE ABOUT THESE SAME FAULTS ON THE SAME CARS (MKV JETTA, RABBIT/GTI). THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS SINCE IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD! *TR

ON JUNE 29 2012 AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT CAME. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VW AND THEY STATED THAT IT WAS THE WIRE HARNESS UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT. SINCE VEHICLE WA NOT UNDER WARRANTY I HAD TO PAY $375.00 TO GET IT REPAIRED (OR SO I THOUGHT) JULY 17TH 2013 AIRBAG LIGHT RETURNED. ON JULY 22ND 2013 I TOOK CAR IN TO VW THIS TIME THEY HAD MY CAR FOR TWO DAYS AND DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO BE THE AIRBAG IGNITER. I QUESTIONED THE FACT THAT THEY DIDN'T CATCH THAT THE FIRST TIME AND THEY REPLIED THAT THE SCANNER DIDN'T CATCH IT(YEAH RIGHT) THE SERVICE GUY TELLS ME THAT ITS $500.00 FOR THE PART AND 8 HOURS OF LABOR, OUCH!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME THAT IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED REGARDLESS. I CONTACTED VWOA AND I'M STILL WAITING FOR A RESPONSE. I REFUSE TO PAY THAT MONEY FOR A SAFETY MATTER THAT IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURE DEFECT. I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY VW. I'M SEEKING REPAIR EXPENSE PAID BY VWOA AND A REFUND FOR THE HARNESS SINCE IT WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. *TR

EVEN AFTER SUCH A BIG CRASH AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. VEHICLE WAS TOTALED.I AM NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED BUT HAVE SEVERE PAIN IN THE NECK AND SHOULDERS.I AM THE LUCKY ONE THAT I SURVIVED WITH OUT ANY MAJOR INJURIES BUT TOO WORRIED ABOUT THE AIRBAGS BECAUSE LOT OF PEOPLES OUT THERE DRIVING THE SAME MODEL. PLEASE CONSIDER THIS HAS HIGH PRIORITY. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE CAR THAT I CAN SEND IN CASE YOU NEED THEM. *TR

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING MY AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINING ON DUE TO A FAULTY AIR BAG. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL VW DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT SERVICED AND WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECENT AIR BAG RECALL ISSUED BY VW. I WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE MY ENTIRE PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG INCLUDING THE HARNESS MUST BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO BE OPERABLE. I WAS ALSO TOLD THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK W/O REPAIR. THIS FAILURE OCCURRED ON MY VEHICLE WHICH IS 5 YEARS OLD AND HAS 35,286 MILES. IT IS NOT COVERED BY VW BECAUSE THE WARRANTY EXP'D AT 3 YRS/36K MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS FAR LESS MILEAGE AVERAGE THAN A VEHICLE NEWER THAN IT IS. THIS SAFETY EQUIPMENT FAILURE SHOULD NOT HAVE OCCURRED ON A VEHICLE THIS NEW UNLESS THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. I DID NOT DO ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS FAILURE TO OCCUR. FURTHER, I VERY SELDOM RIDE WITH OTHERS SO I SEE NO PLAUSIBLE REASON AS TO WHY THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE OCCURRED IN REFERENCE TO THE SEAT USED LEAST IN MY VEHICLE. I WAS QUOTED A REPAIR PRICE OF $900 TO HAVE IT REPAIRED AND I FEEL VW SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS AMOUNT NOT ME. THREE DAYS AGO I CONTACTED VW CUSTOMER CARE AND HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO CALL ME BACK REGARDING WHETHER OR NOT VW WILL PAY THE COST OF THIS REPAIR. IN THE MEANTIME, I AM WITHOUT THE USE OF MY VEHICLE AS I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT IN FEAR THAT I CAN GET INTO AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT DROVE OVER AN UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, WHICH WAS RAISED ABOUT 2 INCHES FROM THE GROUND, AND THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAGS INADVERTENTLY DEPLOYED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THERE WERE AFTERMARKET SHOCKS THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED AN IMPACT WITH THE SUB FRAME. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE IMPACT COULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY BUT DID NOT GUARANTEE THAT IT WAS THE CAUSE OF THE DEPLOYMENT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE COST OF DIAGNOSTIC TESTING OR REPAIRS WOULD NOT BE COVERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 51,608.

I WOULD LIKE TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING MY AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT REMAINING ON DUE TO A FAULTY SEAT BELT. I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR TO THE VW DEALERSHIP TO HAVE MY CAR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PROBLEM I AM HAVING WITH MY AIR BAG LIGHT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECENT AIR BAG RECALLED VW ISSUED. I WAS TOLD MY THE TECHNICIAN THAT MY AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT IS ON BECAUSE MY ENTIRE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I AM HOPING THAT VW WOULD LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE MY SEAT BELT WORKS PERFECTLY FINE AND THERE IS NOTHING I COULD HAVE DONE TO CAUSE THIS DAMAGE.

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING HER 2007 VW JETTA WHEN SHE WAS T-BONED FROM A GMC SUV, APPROX. SPEED OF GMC WAS 40 MPH AND APPROX SPEED OF JETTA WAS 45 MPH. THE JETTA WAS STRUCK AT A 90 DEGREE ANGLE DIRECTLY INTO THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THE IMPACT WAS ENOUGH THAT MY WIFE NEEDED TO BE REMOVED FROM HER CAR WITH THE JAWS OF LIFE. THE STEERING COLUMN AIRBAG DEPLOYED HOWEVER THE MULTIPLE SIDE AND LUMBAR AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. HAD THESE DEPLOYED HER INJURES WOULD HAD BEEN MUCH LESS SEVERE. BOTH CARS ARE BEING TOTALED BY THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES, NOW AFTER CONTACTING VW, MINDY PRENTICE REGIONAL CONSULTANT VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMER CARE IS TRYING TO TELL ME THAT THE THIS ISN'T THE TYPE OF CRASH THAT WOULD TRIGGER SIDE AIRBAGS. HOWEVER AFTER TALKING TO MULTIPLE DEALERS IN THE AREA AS WELL AS GOING BACK TO MY INITIAL SUSPICION IT SEEMS THAT THE SIDE AIRBAGS MOST CERTAINLY SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED. *TR
