Air Bag Not Deploy problems of the 2007 Volkswagen Jetta

Airbag indicator light has come on and for the most part remains on. For short periods of time the light will go off, but inevitably, it always turns back on. This is very concerning and seems to be a systemic issue with this make and model year. Many report airbags not deploying in the event of an accident. Volkswagen needs to do the right thing and issue a recall before they have a pr nightmare by putting profit margins over the lives of their consumers.

Tl-the contact owns a 2007 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated continuously. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing but the vehicle was unable to be diagnosed and the contact was advised that the air bag might not deploy during a crash. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000. Djr.

My vw Jettas sensor for the airbag constantly comes on when I start the car telling me that there is a problem with the airbag and it will not deploy. Problem first started back in 2008(bought the car brand new) and when I contacted vw for repair they told me that none others had this issue and they couldn't help me. When I started doing research I've found there are hundreds if not thousands of people saying the same thing about their vw airbag sensor is not working properly and that the airbag won't depoy in a crash.

Even after such a big crash air bag did not deploy. Vehicle was totaled. I am not seriously injured but have severe pain in the neck and shoulders. I am the lucky one that I survived with out any major injuries but too worried about the airbags because lot of peoples out there driving the same model. Please consider this has high priority. I have pictures of the car that I can send in case you need them.

I would like to file a complaint regarding my air bag warning indicator light remaining on due to a faulty air bag. I took my vehicle to the local vw dealership to have it serviced and was told the problem I am having with my air bag light was not included in the recent air bag recall issued by vw. I was told by the technician that my air bag warning light is on because my entire passenger seat airbag including the harness must be replaced in order to be operable. I was also told the airbag system would not work w/o repair. This failure occurred on my vehicle which is 5 years old and has 35,286 miles. It is not covered by vw because the warranty exp'd at 3 yrs/36k miles. My vehicle has far less mileage average than a vehicle newer than it is. This safety equipment failure should not have occurred on a vehicle this new unless there was something wrong with it. I did not do anything to cause this failure to occur. Further, I very seldom ride with others so I see no plausible reason as to why this failure would have occurred in reference to the seat used least in my vehicle. I was quoted a repair price of $900 to have it repaired and I feel vw should be responsible for this amount not me. Three days ago I contacted vw customer care and have been waiting for someone to call me back regarding whether or not vw will pay the cost of this repair. In the meantime, I am without the use of my vehicle as I am scared to drive it in fear that I can get into an accident and the airbags will not deploy.

A light came on the dashboard with the icon of the airbag. I looked it up and found that it was a warning light telling me that the sensors in the seat that detect someone sitting in the seat were faulty and could result in airbags not deploying in the event of an impact. Other owners of vw Jettas from 2007 and years before and after have experienced this. There has been no recall although many owners, including myself, think there should be.
