On my dashboard, my passenger seat airbag started going off. I brought my vw Beetle in for its 100,000-mile maintenance check and asked about the airbag. My mechanic informed me that the passenger seat airbag was failing, and if I were driving with someone and crashed, their airbag would not deploy. They told me there was nothing I could've done to prevent this, it's just the piece itself has failed. Their advisory notes were: 'airbag light on trouble code b12251b occupied recognition sensor mat. Part #5c5959337. ' I researched if my car was eligible for a recall and it is not, however I saw that vw has a recall for takata driver front airbags.

There is a recall on my vehicle that can cause death and Volkswagen has yet to provide a remedy to fix the recall. I have asked them about switching cars until a remedy is an available and that's not an option they provide.

The airbags deployed on their own on 7-4-2023 in my daughter’s 2013 vw Beetle. My daughter and her friend were both injured (physically/mentally) as a result of both front airbags (steering wheel and dashboard airbags) deploying on their own causing over $10,000 usd damage to the Beetle and injury to my daughter and her friend who was a passenger in the front seat. Volkswagen never sent out a recall notice to us even though we have owned the car since 9-13-2019 and the airbag recall notice was determined on 12-16-2020 by NHTSA and announced on that date. I only became aware of this recall through investigation, after the accident happened and during repairing of the car. The vehicle was not inspected by the manufacturer, or police, or insurance even though progressive insurance paid out over $20,000 in damages to the parked cars that were struck after the airbags deployed causing the vw Beetle to crash into two parked cars in a residential neighborhood. There was a sparse accident report that was filed by colorado state police. There were not any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the tatanka airbag failure and recall.

Nhtsa, vw has informed me that there is recall on my car that could cause life-threatening injuries to me or my children who drive the car. I first heard about the recall of the airbag in January 2023 on the news. I have contacted my dealer 3 times to get the airbag fixed and they tell me each time that they do not have a solution to fix my car. I believe I have waited patiently for 6 months waiting for a fix while also driving an unsafe car. Shouldn't you do something about this problem?.

2016 Volkswagen Beetle. Consumer writes in regard to defective air bags.

This recall has been here since January 03 2023. When I called vw they stated it was not dangerous and there was no fix. I’m concerned driving this vehicle as the recall states my airbag can deploy at anytime sending shards through my body. Bw still has no remedy almost 2 months later.
