1 Air Bag Not Deploy problem

Failure Date: 03/25/2009

The airbag light keeps coming on. Vw votex web page (for vw enthuiasts) lists that it is a known problem with a seat belt sensor that triggers and airbag warning light. I have had it reset three times at 60. 00 a session. . . For a known problem. I have been driving some time with the light on. I have some concern that the airbag would not deploy in an accident. I have written vw about it and was given a lame excuse and then ignored.
