Air bag warning light came on while driving.
During mild acceleration the aigbag warning light came on for the passenger side airbag, the seat was unoccupied at the time. The dealer unplugged and reconnected the light and reset the waning light. He then ordered a new wiring harness pn 3c0971366de which was installed on 11/26/2014. This part is connected to a part repaired under recall 97u3 pn 5k0998582 on 01/14/2011. I do not trust the air bag system in this car and think there is reason for an investigation. The explanation of the problem was inadequate and other complaints on the internet indicate an on going problem. I was told the probable problem was salt and corrosion but this is not the case. I have the old wiring harness and it is in mint condition. I think the most likely problem is poor contact mating. (the part is available for your inspection if you would like. ) please add this vehicle to your on going investigation of similar Passat's and jetta's.
