Air Bag Light On problems of the 2007 Volkswagen Beetle

The drivers side front seat belt air bag sensor went bad. The vw dealership said the parts have been discontinued. This is a major safety hazard! there have been many complaints about this same issue I have seen, I can't believe that vw hasn't issued a recall on this by now! the air bags will not work in the event of an accident, this could lead to death! again there needs to be action taken and a recall issued before anyone gets seriously injured or killed! my seatbelt air bag light came on while I was driving causing me to pull over thinking that maybe the belt wasn't fastened all the way. The light wouldn't go out so I drove it to a garage where it sat until today still not fixed due to part being discontinued! again safety hazard as the air bags are non functional!.

Takata recall, air bag light on.

Driver's seat belt buckle not reading that seat belt is buckled causing yellow seat belt /air bag light to remain on and making air bags inoperable I'm guessing. Dearler recommends new driver's side seat belt assembly.

I own a 2013 passat and my airbag light came on after my warranty expired a little over a year ago; only to be told by Volkswagen it would be my responsibility until I reached out to your office and my matter was investigated only to find that l as million other customers were also affected and a recall was initiated and my vehicle was included as a result. I received another email (enclosed) that informed me of another recall, but my 2007 new Beetle was not included although the airbag light is on as well . After speaking with vw; they were unable to confirm if my 2007 should be included because most of the complaints has been on either the 2007 jetta or the passat according to the vw rep. . There has been a complete cover-up by vw, and I believe all models has been affected and the takata airbag is in my 2007 as well and should be included as they are unable to definitively say that my car does not have that particular brand. I believe it does and should be a part of the current recall as well. The letter clearly says some 2007 models. I am very grateful that your office took such swift action with my first complaint which confirmed that my issue was not an isolated incident rather worldwide and a huge cover up on the part of ww. No one should ride around unsafe and I ask that you take my complaint into consideration by adding the new Beetle to the list as well. Enclosed is the letter sent from vw. Thank you :).

Air bag light illuminated for passenger seat (indicating that air bag not working and problem). Dealer states that the air bag module and seat belt buckle need to be replaced. The air bag module and seat belt buckle should not have to be replaced on a one owner vehicle with less than 50,000 miles.
