Airbag sensor lights on. Took to dealer ventura Volkswagen. They charged me $145 to diagnose the problem, then say it will cost $615 to replace the "clock spring." The car has never been in an accident and the airbags never have deployed. Ventura Volkswagen says it is not under recall nor covered by my warranty and will charge me $615 to fix it. Invoice from the dealer is attached.
Takata recall- 2015 gti. Turned car on at 5:30 after work and airbag error light came on, no controls in steering wheel working like volume, blue tooth cruise control and horn. Car was parked for 8 hours. Light driving city traffic usually from and back to work. There was no indication, just stopped. 44.000 miles. Car was bought at 34500 miles exactly one year ago (2017) no horn and no airbag working as of yesterday is a safety issue and dealership said there is no recall on this particular make model year !
Steering column control mechanism, air bag sensor, lock mechanism. Saw an article posted last week about previous recall not resolving a know issue with airbags that affects the steering column. I just had to pay $641.10 to have this repaired. If this is something that VW should have had to pay for I would love to be able to recoup my money.
Ongoing airbag defect warning light comes on when driving. Also warning on information screen. Dealer has made several unsuccessful attempts to repair. Car has only 5700 miles on it.
I was driving on 210N pasadena fwy with my girlfriend and off ave43 around 4am. I tried to turn wheel for off but airbag from wheel come out while I turn off fwy and that day I just went to one of vwdealer for check some thing and after that I got a logo of VW on my hand like a tattoo and my car it was total loss. My girlfriend she was pain inside her back because we both got an accident from somebody hit behind my car. I bought a new car and first time buyer and I never know about gap insurance on that time I just bought for about 2month and still own that money effect to my credit until now. My job is driver and I need a car so how can I do with this problem.
Airbag system is not recognizing occupant in front passenger seat. Airbag is off with seat occupied. Called VW customer service to ask about recall 69L6 which describes this problem and was told our VIN was not in the recall although your website gives our manufacture date of 18 July 2014 as inside the recall range. Perhaps the recall should be expanded. Airbag light on at all times.
