Air bag light came on twice. The first time front and side driver side airbags were replaced, costing $1200. The second time the light came on VW was contacted and they agreed to pay for the repair, $300 for a wiring harness under the steering wheel. Please advise, this is a problem that should happen considering the car was not involved in any type of accident. Service manager at Volkswagen compared air bag to a "light bulb." Saying that like light bulbs airbags also burn out after a while, a rather pompous statement to make.
While driving at 35 mph, vehicle was in a frontal collision, and none of the airbags deployed upon impact. This resulted in driver being seriously injured. Consumer is currently on disability as the result of the injuries obtained by this accident.
Consumer states that the air bag senor light came on and stayed on. Vehicle ran over a small rock and the air bag deployed. Which cause damage to vehicle. Replaced air bag, senor light came back on and stayed on.
