Air Bag Light On problems of the 2006 Volkswagen Jetta

The driver's side window stopped working. The problem was traced back to a faulty wiring harness in the door hinge. This is a very common vw issue, and many other online complaints reference a wire harness that is too short. I repaired the severed wires with butt connectors. After the repair was completed, the airbag light came on. I inspected the whole airbag system (connectors, wiring, fuses, etc. ) to no avail. The airbag light is still illuminated on the dashboard. Again, others have complained of this same issue when fixing a vw's window (I. E. , fix the window and the airbag light illuminates). The two issues should not be connected, and this is a major safety concern for me.

April 12, 2019 airbag light appeared. I took the car to the service center of the Volkswagen dealership car was purchased at. After diagnosis the driver's side seat belt tested faulty which could be rendering the airbag inoperable. The parts needed to be ordered in order to repair it at a second appointment. Concerning that the dealerships don't carry parts that could affect the safety features of the Jetta in the event of an accident. This Jetta has never had the airbags deploy or any issues with the seat belts until now.

The driver side door wiring harness has failed and with it the driver side controls do not work.

It also seems to have caused a short the rear driver side door as the window is stuck down and will not roll up. The airbag light also came on. I have checked all fuses and have found no problems.

Was driving and the air bag light came on. Was going to take it in but then I got sideswiped while my car was parked and progressive insurance checked out my car and said it was a wiring harness that was faulty. Noticing that it's a common thing now that I'm ready this so why aren't they recalling it if it's a safety issue???.

2006 vw Jetta, driving down street 11/09/12 door ajar light comes on, I stop to close doors and light goes off. I pull into work parking lot and get out of car as I click the key to lock the car, nothing. I then proceed to check the car. . Nothing is working. Cannot access gas cap to put gas in car, some lights may not be functioning properly, airbag light not on, door will not lock, window will not respond, no car alarm. Drivers side of car has no power at all. I have no idea what is and is not working correctly. Although I did look online and found hundreds of complaints with regard to a "brown wire or wires too short inside the boot to the body connector". Most people report that even after a vw fix, problem not resolved. Car not acting properly and with electrical and having been in a vw car fire do not wish to repeat this scenario. I contacted vw customer care who politely told me this is not their problem and refused to escalate to a manager. Since this just happened today I have not had an opportunity for vw to look at it, but will tomorrow as I have to find a way to put gas in car and see if they feel auto is safe to drive. I don't. .

The indicator light for the passenger seat airbag stays on. This seat is rarely used by a passenger.

I have a 2006 vw Jetta sd w/ 93,000 miles. I use this vehicle for work. The air bag fault light has been on for almost two years. I initially took the car to the david maus vw in south orlando. I was told by the repair rep kevin it would cost $400 to repair the connector located under the driver seat that relate to the air bag system. Since my car was out of the warranty period, I was told I would have to bear this cost. I asked kevin how the connectors would become faulty since there is nothing ever stored under my driver seat and no one goes under the driver seat. Kevin said that ¿¿it just happens. ¿� I told him I was disappointed vw had made such a faulty car because of the many prior problems I had that fortunately were covered under warranty, e. G. , esp light continually on; ignition coils recalled/replaced; asr light continually lit; trunk latch replaced, air conditioning vents broke, driver side door would not lock/unlock; and driver side button stopped working. After the warranty ended, the air bag light came on. I paid to replace the button for the side view mirrors because it broke off. Kevin told me the button was cheap and they always break. A recall for the side air bag harness on seats were repaired on both sides on 3/30/11. In October, 2011 I told kevin I did not believe I should be responsible to pay for the repair of the air bag light as I believed it was a defect on vw part. I could not have caused the light to come on by driving the vehicle. I was informed by kevin that without this repair the airbag system was considered to be inoperable and unsafe. After review of the NHTSA complaints and an internet search, this airbag issue with this vehicle has been a known one for some time. Vw has not issued a recall because they do not believe it is a large concern. I believe a recall should be issued due to the obvious safety concerns.

May 2011 vehicle was taken to casey imports (casey Volkswagen) 777 j. Clyde morris blvd newport news va 23608 (757)988-1236 in regards to service action 97u3/t3 dated January 2011. ---failure was driver's side airbag connector resulting in illuminated airbag light in instrument cluster. Casey vw proceeded to replace the connector on the driver's side but only "inspected" the passenger side with no repair action performed. The instructions clearly state on page 6: perform procedure on both front seats. Recall was entered into Volkswagen's elsaweb as completed even though the repair paperwork clearly states only half of the work was performed. July 2012 vehicle was taken to casey vw with airbag light illuminated. ---failure was passenger side airbag circuit high resistance. I was told I would need to authorize a $120 diagnostic fee before anything was done and that the recall was performed. I informed [xxx] (service advisor) regional service manager [xxx]and casey service manager [xxx] that I did not want anything diagnosed or repaired. I made it perfectly clear that I wanted the recall performed in it's entirety. I called vwoamerica at 1-800-893-5298 twice. The second time I recorded with permission a customer service representative by the name of[xxx]. The only answer I have been given is to authorize a diagnostic fee. I believe this constitutes negligence on vw and casey imports for not only improperly performing a safety recall but failing to address and correct the issue when it is was brought to their attention. This type of service should be investigated to see how many of casey imports customers may still be at risk. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

The passenger side airbag experiences a computer fault every 3 months or so, needing to be reset. Indicator light for passenger airbag show airbag is not functioning while airbag fault is registering and until reset at dealer. This has happened three times. It costs ~$200 to fix each time. Vw now offers a "suggested" software fix that costs $200. The costs of these significant safety issues should be fixed at cost to vw. The dealer says they have seen many cars with this issue and hopes a recall will be issued? shouldn't there be a law requiring dealers to report trends they see?.

Nothing specifically happened leading up to the event but at around 52000 miles. The passenger airbag on/off indicator would no longer show that anyone was sitting in the passenger seat. The orange/yellow airbag light also has been illuminated constantly since then. I had the dealer run diagnostics in it to determine the error code. Initially they said that it was a faulty connector in the wiring, but that was discovered to not actually be the cause. Upon further inspection it was determined to be a faulty weight sensor in the passenger seat. Be agreed to cover the labor on it at first when it was thought to be a faulty wiring connector but when it was found to be the weight sensor they have not returned the dealers calls.

Airbag light keeps coming on with an intermittent airbag fault. 3rd time for the repair. This has been a continual problem since July 2006. Only 3 months after purchase.

After 3 months of driving my new Jetta, the airbag light turn on and stayed on. I took it to the dealer and they fixed it. Over the next year the airbag light came on 6 times. Once it turned on before I even left the dealerships parking lot. And yes the lemon law applies in this case. I love my Jetta but vwoa service record sucks.

I am continuing to have a problem on my new model 2005 Jetta. The airbag light has been on 3 times since August 2005. I am in the process of applying to the lemon law program in CT. I have spoke to the att generals office and this falls under the safety category and feels I should follow through with this. I am frustrated and concerned not knowing for sure if the airbag has been fixed or not since this past week was the third attempt of them fixing the problem.
