Volkswagen Passat 2007 Passat water leak footwell that causes passenger side airbag damaged : suddenly after a rainy day, water comes from sunroof to the passenger side footwell and made carpet wet and stores water below the carpet. That caused passenger side 's airbag malfunction results in airbag fault. I went to the dealer and they told me it happens with some vw cars and please get your car checked for water leak. They told that they are not responsible for neither the airbag nor the water leak. I believe there was too much water below the carpet which directly puts the integrity of the safety in danger since it the electronic parts and wires were in water for long time.
Takata recall the passenger side airbag doesn't work according to my lending bank. I found this out when I refinanced through them.
Takata recall. My car was recalled in February 2016 and I still don't have placement parts available to me. This is a disgrace. I am the mother of a small child and my life could be in jeopardy from my driver side airbag.
I was driving home doing 45mph, when my passenger side airbag deployed. I was not involved in a car accident or anything else that would've caused the airbag to deploy.
