CarComplaints.com Notes: VW updated the Jetta's interior and added new features like backup cameras to certain trims. Time will tell if these adjustments start falling apart.
My jetta has black leatherette seats (vinyl) which are very hot and sticky to sit on. I purchased seat covers, made for a car with side airbags. But the seat cover makes the airbag sensor think there is a child or carseat on the seat and turns off the airbag. I removed the cover and tried just a towel, same thing. I contacted my dealer only to find they say VW prohibits anything on there seats. How can this be? I need to be able to protect my seats at times and also for the comfort from the heat. Is this even legal they can turn off a safety feature because someone wants to sit on a towel.
