Air Bag Light On problems of the 2001 Volkswagen Golf

The contact owns a 2001 Volkswagen Golf. While driving down the road passenger's side air bag deployed for no reason. There was no accident. The speed was about 45 mph. Contact did not lose control of the vehicle. The air bag light was not on prior to the deployment, but it was on now. There was someone sitting in the passenger seat and was wearing the seat belt. Currently, the seat belt will not retract. It was still the same way as if someone were sitting in the seat. One passenger sustained injuries, had burn marks on her arms. The insurance company has this incident on file. The police department stated that since contact drove vehicle away from the scene of the accident, it would be considered a do it yourself part, and she had not gotten a chance to do so yet.

The contact owns a 2001 Volkswagen Golf. While driving approximately 60 mph on normal road conditions, the engine experienced low power, rough idling, and hesitation. The check engine and air bag warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. The indicators remained lit until the engine was turned off. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who stated that the failures were related to the coil pack. The vehicle was repaired. On two separate occasions after the repair, the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer for identical failures with no resolutions. The vehicle currently is inoperable and has not been repaired for the malfunction. The failure mileage was 90,000 and current mileage was 150,000.

I bought a used 2001 vw Golf in April. The airbag light remains on when vehicle is in motion. I brought the car to a vw dealer and paid $85 for them to tell me that the airbag had high resistance and might not deploy in case of an accident. They said the harnass of the driver's side airbag need to be replaced and it would cost me $700. This is not a wearable part of the car, and is a desgin fault that may endager the life of the driver. I am wondering why I should pay for this. Shouldn't it be the responbsibility of vw to ensure that non-wearable parts remain working for quite a long time? especially if it is safety related?.

1. No event applicable (I. E. No accidents, crashes or impacts) 2. Airbag light comes on 3. Vw charged $90 to tell me that it would take $715 to replace the part; my vehicle is only a 2001. Vw stated it suffered mechanical breakdown; the part is not a wearable part!!!.

2001 vw Golf 2. 0l with 59k miles airbag light came on for no apparent reason at startup and would not go off. Called vw of America and was given a case number. Took vehicle to dealer and they reported that the passenger front air bag harness needed to be replaced. Waiting for vw of America response to dealership for repairs to take place.

Air bag light keeps coming on. It has been doing this since the first day that we have had the car. We keep taking it back to the dealership to get it fix but it is still not fixed. They give us back the car and with in one to two weeks the light keeps coming back on.
