I have experienced 4 part failures, each on my airbag system on my Volkswagen Jetta. The first part failure occured on may 28, 1999 and subsequent part failures occured as follows: 7-30-1999, 2-23-2000 and 7-11-2000. With the most recent occurance, my car was delivered to the dealership on July 11, 2000 and the maintenance was not completed until August 4, 2000 due to the unavailibility of the part from the manufacturer. Due to the severity of this defect, and given the fact that my dealership has exhausted their efforts in trying to identify the problem, I no longer feel safe driving this vehicle. With the information provided, I feel that my vehicle meets the qualifications of the "lemon law". At this time I am requesting that I receive a replacment vehicle. Thank you for your consideration in this matter. Please do not hesitate to contact me if more information is needed.
While vehicle was moving from a green light another vehicle crossed the red light, stricking consumer's vehicle on the right front passengers side where none of the air bags deployed, not protecting passenger and.
