2014 or 2015 I received a letter that my air bag clock spring recall and another about airbag recall. . I went to dealership and the charger me 1k for the airbag module the said it needed to be replaced and that it was my responsibility. . They informed me. That it had got wet. . I'm not even sure where the module sensor is. . Propr to all this I did get an error airbag warning on my car but it went a away I took it to dealership and they never informed me about the airbag module sensor while under warranty. The sensor should not be in a place where I can get it wet.
1. The lighting recall I have had my car serviced at least 4xs for light. . The light is still not fixed, every time the hood is open and closed the light goes out. 2. I was sent recall letter about airbag, I went to have it fixed and was told that the sensor got wet and its my responsibility and was charged alomost 1k to fix it. 3. My car while driving says settings are not accessible, this is constant and its not as though im trying to change the settings, while driving. Also the last time I took my car in for service I paid for my ac filter to be changed and it wasn't they said my tires were ok they were not. I have been kicked out of one dealership because the service manager was clearly a racist. I have had so many problems and when I call vw of America im put on hold, just to be told that there is nothing they can do. Now they are calling me over, and over to extend my warranty, I paid for my car in full. . I cant get one person to take my issues seriously, I can barely see the road when driving, the cars settings constantly change. Last but not least I paid for cosmetic issues and had a new battery put in all while under warranty. Because the service manager kicked me out of dealership.
