Why does vw of America continue to send these repair notices but there aren't any parts available yet? this is totally unacceptable!.

I have an air bag light on and I get a warning sign that it should be serviced. Wipers are not that effective and I keep on having fogy windows so I have to keep on adjusting the heat.

The airbag light came on and when I took the care in to get checked out I was told that something on the inside rubs the wires and due to that turns off the entire airbag system. It is not an issue caused by consumers since it is internal and a very critical safety issue. They pass on the charge to the consumer which is right around $1,200. 00. This is completely unacceptable on multiple levels.

Airbag light come and stays on. The code is vag 01218 side airbag igniter, frt pass side upper limit exceeded. Intermittent. Dealer says I have to replace the complete airbag system at $700 cost. Why is this not part of the general recall on this issue this is exactly the same issue in vw has release a service action for this issue. Service action 97u3/t3. Why is not my car included in this? this should be a complete recall. . Read more...

Air bag light came on when car started in 2006 vw Passat. I called the dealer since there was a recall on the airbag, they claimed that they fixed my airbag a few appointments back and it wouldn't be a part of this recall. When I asked if it would have a recall due to it being a major safety issue, Volkswagen advised me that I can pay to have it fixed. My car is "too old for a warranty extension". This bothers me since I have 9 airbags in which none will deploy and they refuse to service this safety issue for free. Upon googling the issue, it seems to be a widespread problem with not only the Passat but the jetta's made the same year.

The air bag light came on and when I took it to the dealership (Volkswagen) they said it needed to be replaced the first time they quoted $900. 00. I did not have it done do to the car was never in an accident to affect the airbag. I told the dealership it was Volkswagens problem and they should fix it without charge. They denied. I took the car in for the 80,000 mile check and once again they stated the airbag system needed to be replaced and now they quoted $750. 00. Once again I told them it was Volkswagens problem and they shoiuld stand behind their cars. Once again no satisfaction (the light is still on).

The contact owns a 2006 Volkswagen Passat. The contact stated that the air bag light illuminated on the instrument panel. The contact also stated that the horn stopped functioning when the air bag light illuminated on the instrument panel. In addition, the dealer previously replaced the wiring harness for the air bag and a bolt in the steering wheel. The dealer did not inspect the vehicle, but the dealer stated that the previous wiring harness replacement was not related to the current failure. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 93,000.

Trunk has difficulty closing. Seat belt don't work properly. Airbag light along with the motor light turn on. These lights were never really fixed by the car dealer. The passenger back door does not lock most of the time leaving the car without the alarm working.

I own a 2006 vw Passat with just over 60k miles. The air bag fault indicator light has come on and I have not had an accident. The dealer's solution was to replace the entire airbag unit at a cost of nearly $1000. It seems to me from reading the posts on this site and numerous others that this is a fairly common problem on a critical safety component that it is occurring after only a couple of years of ownership (far too early in the car's lifetime) and vw is not doing anything to correct the problem. It would be helpful to get vw to issue a service bulletin to correct the issue at their expense and also to warn drivers about a potentially dangerous issue with this safety equipment.

I advised Volkswagen that I had the airbag malfunction indicator lamp on. They told me they could fix the issue for me but it would cost me about 900 dollars to fix. I have not fixed the issue because of the high cost. There is an issue with the 2006 Passat I own. The rep told me that a wiring harness under the passenger seat was built wrong. It is to short and the TSB that is out for this issue explains that a wiring harness with longer wires is needed. This is a serious safety issue. I have not been able to afford to fix the issue and Volkswagen of America denied my claim saying it was not there fault and that I was out of warranty. After looking at your recalls I noticed there is an exact recall for the Volkswagen cc with the same issue. Please help me .

Air bag fault light keeps coming on. This is the fourth time it has come on. First came on 10/2006 dealer replaced malfunctioning r/front side airbag, connecters to harness were faulty as well. 1/2008 came on again, dealer repaired faulty wiring for passenger side. 5/2008 came on again, dealer dio found upper limit exceeded drivers side unit, faulty electrical wiring again. 6/2008 air bag light on again, dealer inspection found wires for drivers side front crash sensor faulty/poor contact. 6/2008 to present my airbag light is on again, have not taken it in yet cause I'm quite annoyed. Something is wrong with the whole airbag system and I pray to god that if I do have an accident all of my airbags will deploy but with all the repairs done I don't think they will. I would appreciate your help.
