Air Bag Light On problems of the 2008 Volkswagen Jetta

Yellow airbag light would stay on when car was on. I checked with vw dealer to see if there was a recall and was advised no. This is the same problem that the 2010 thru 2016 vw are having. Dealer advised to replace the clockspring and harness due to build up of dust in the steering hub. Cost of repair $678. 74 plus a 3week waitng time for part to arrive at the vw dealer.

I noticed my airbag indicator light for my left back seat stays on and after getting my car serviced, another airbag light for my driver side stays on. I find that unusual. Am I going to have to take my car in for service for every airbag that comes on within 3 months period??? something needs to be done. . . . Concern and frustrated owner.

On 08/08/17 when I turned the car on, the driver's side airbag indicator light came on and stayed on. I brought the car to langan vw of vernon, CT (167 hartford turnpike, vernon, CT 06066) on 08/10/17. An analysis was done and I was told that the airbag was broken and that the airbag needed to be replaced. I was quoted a price of over $1,200 for parts and labor. I was told this was very unusual. I checked the recall list, but my make/model/year is not on the list. I thought you should know that there may be a potential bigger problem that includes my make/model/year. When I pick up my car and get the itemized bill, I would be happy to send it to you if requested. Thank you.

Tl-the contact owns a 2008 Volkswagen Jetta. The contact stated that when the vehicle was started the air bag warning indicator was intermittently illuminated. The failure recurred each time the vehicle was started over approximately a two week period until it was consistently illuminated each time the vehicle was started. The contact also stated that when he made a left or right turn, there was a clicking sound that came from the steering column. The failures recurred on several occasions. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 15v483000 ( air bags). The approximate failure mileage was 55,000. Sw.

We have a 2008 Jetta purchased new in December 2007. It currently has 58,000 miles on it. We have had numerous safety issues with it. A crash sensor went out at about 50k. This cost over $500 to fix at the local dealer. Recently the airbag light came on and shows code 01221 which is drivers side airbag. The dealer said the airbag system is probably not functioning with the light on. I'd guess this is another expensive fix. This car has never been in an accident, submerged, or had a spill in it. It seems ridiculous that that these type of issues would be occurring in a vehicle with this type of mileage.

Airbag light came on. Volkswagen indicates that airbags are not functioning. No incident contributed to this.

Believe it is the airbag sesnor that is malfunctioning. Have had it reset about five times and within a five to six weeks, the airbag light goes on again. This is not the first time the vw has had issues with electrical components. Of course, the warrantee is over.

Airbag light illuminated. First occurred September 2009, taken to dealer to be repaired. Once again in December 2009.

The air bag light sensor is defective. It will come one for driver and passenger when both people are present in the car. I had it fixed once before and now it happened again.
