The contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that the passenger air bag warning light illuminated on an intermittent basis. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer who advised her that the sensor would need to be replaced. The dealer advised that if the air bags were not replaced, they would not deploy in the event of a crash. The vehicle was repaired but the warning light continued to illuminate intermittently. The VIN was unavailable. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.
The 'passenger air bag off' light remains illuminated at all times, with no passenger in the seat. This is not problematic in the daytime but, at night, it is a serious safety hazard because of the distraction of a very bright orange light glaring at the driver. If the system is operating normally, whether it's on or off, there should not be a warning light. Having that bright orange light illuminated all the time, at night, is not safe.
