1 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas

Failure Date: 04/01/2022

The air bag light has been on since I took it to the dealership 2 months ago. I was told that it needed a new airbag but I need to wait because they didnt have any in stock. They told me that it could take more then 1 month to get the air bag. I told them if I could leave the vehicle until it was fixed because I didnt feel safe driving a vehicle that had the air bag light on on my dashboard and need a new airbag. They told me that they did not have any vehicle available to lend me one and that it wasnt unsafe to drive the vehicle even if it need a new air bag and with the dash board light on saying air bag need service. I want to know if I can request the dealer to lend me a vehicle and leave mine with them until its fixed? contact information: efrain zapata 956-208-2939 1909 s 46th st mcallen , TX 78503.

2 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2019 Volkswagen Atlas

Failure Date: 12/19/2020

Purchased a 2019 Atlas se4motion. The air bag light went on immediately after purchasing the car. The SUV had 40000 miles on it. This was on a Saturday 12. 19. Brought car to dealer on 12. 21, vw said it was a modular problem. Car was fixed a week later but than air bags activated. The car was fixed again , problem was water built up in control module. I was told there was twisted tube. Need new modular and a/c drain. This was done and I picked up car and air bag light wento off again. Car is still in the shop. This seems similar to 2018 issues with airbag. I have notified vw corporate.

3 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2021 Volkswagen Atlas

Failure Date: 10/27/2020

I bought my vehicle around three weeks ago. It is a brand new 2021 vw Atlas. Two days ago the airbag light came on the dash indicating that there is a problem/issue with the drivers side airbag. My husband noticed the issue first and said that it occurred when he started the car initially. The light seems to stay on while the car is in motion.

4 Air Bag Light On problem of the 2020 Volkswagen Atlas

Failure Date: 08/18/2020

My 2020 Volkswagen Atlas has been in and out of the shop. We purchased this vehicle in April 2020 with great hopes. . . We've been loyal vw customers and have owned 2 other vw vehicles prior. Issues began mid-Aug 2020, the check engine light turned on and we began hearing a rattling noise coming from the steering wheel when turning the wheel and began smelling a burnt odor coming from the engine. At this time, the vw shop did the following: the electro-mechanical steering was replaced and the acf valve was removed & replaced. Issue persisted. Went back in late Aug 2020 for the exact same issues as before; vw shop removed and reinstalled the acf filter once more. Rattling wasn't addressed. Taken again to the shop oct 2020 for rattling in undercarriage, and this time we were told the sway bars were causing the rattling noise. Those were replaced and the rattling noise subsided. Forward to beginning of Nov 2020, and the airbag light turns on; shop keeps the vehicle for 13 days, removes and reinstalls airbag sensor. Two days after we receive our vehicle, the airbag light turns on again. Shop keeps our vehicle for 63 days, removes and installs the door wiring harness. By end of Feb 2021, airbag light is on again; shop updates the airbag control module. We have not had airbag light come on after this most recent repair, but we are now experiencing brake sensor issues: we have had a �apply the brakes� alert come on while driving on the highway, as well as a �front collision warning� come on while there are no other vehicles remotely close to us at the time. Obviously, we are concerned for our safety while driving this vehicle.
