Front Air Bag Sensor Control Problems of Volkswagen Golf

The left rear wheel speed sensor malfunctioned resulting in false warnings of air bag, stabilization control, abs system, and tire pressure failures. A replacement part is on back order and/or unavailable. This will result in disregard of any of the above warnings in the future even if they are genuine. This problem occurs randomly at any speed.

Steering column control mechanism, air bag sensor, lock mechanism. Saw an article posted last week about previous recall not resolving a know issue with airbags that affects the steering column. I just had to pay $641. 10 to have this repaired. If this is something that vw should have had to pay for I would love to be able to recoup my money.

-the contact stated that the 2001 Volkswagen Golf had problems with the airbag sensor. Once she turned on the ignition and put on the seat belt the dashboard air bag sensor light stayed on. The contact contacted the dealership, and was informed that the vehicle was out of warranty, and that he was responsible for the repairs of the seat belt. The contact stated that the seat belt was what indicated if the airbag sensor became activated or not. The contact felt that the manufacturer should make better parts for their vehicles. The contact called the manufacturer of the vehicle, and was given case# 70098165. The failure mileage was 84,200 and the current mileage was 85,000. Updated 04/11/07.

2000 vw Golf. The airbag light is stuck on. There is no way for me to know if the bag will deploy or not. In order for the dealer to look at it it would cost me $100 for the diagnostic test and between $500 and $700 to fix the problem. They also told me there is no guarantee that they will fix the problem. So after I pay $500 or $600 they still wont guarantee the bags are safe. How do I go about figuring this out. It seems like a very big safety issue for the manufacture of Volkswagens and to put me and my family in danger is unacceptable. Do I pay the money and just hope it is fixed? no accidents yet but what if. I no longer trust the ability of the cars safety. This is my complaint. I feel I was sold a car and now the safety features of the car have become compromised. Help!.

2000 vw Golf GLS. Airbag light on dash diagnosed by vw as an open circuit - passenger side. Air bags never deployed, never crashed. Vw wanted $500 for repairs. Numerous similar incidents reported by vw owners involving range of air bag system failures, spurious deployments, etc. Vw charged me $45 for the diagnosis.

2001 vw Golf tdi. My airbag warning light came on and continues to remain on. I have heard of someone else having the same problem with the same model car.

The airbag light came on. When I took it to the dealership I was told it was because my owners manual was under the passenger seat. This caused the connectors to break. Perhaps people should be told not to put anything under the seat. There is nothing in the owners manual that states that. It cost me $300 to have this fixed. I feel Volkswagen should cover the cost of this repair. I have an extended warranty and was still told since it was an outside source (the owners manual) which caused the breakage, it was not covered.

Car was rear-ended at a stop light. Car cascaded into the cars in front. Airbags did not deploy on drivers side. Airbags (4) deployed on passenger side only. There was no passenger. Seems I could have used the airbag protection on my side. (driver).
