1 Ignition Coils Failure problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2011

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.
