Filed May 13, 2021 · Airbags · 108,890 miles · CA

Took vehicle in today to tracy volkswagen in tracy california to fix my airbag light that came on for passenger side seat airbag. They said there were unable to repair the issue cause volkswagen discontinued the part. So they said to me that ecs tuning has the part available and they could install it for $537 extra. I thought the airbag system was suppose to be free of errors for the lifetime of the vehicle so why do I put myself and occupants in danger driving with a malfunctioning manufacture part? I hope there is some remedy for this and I am not paying almost another $1000 for this light to be turned off. Hope volkswagen gets their act together and mind their customers safety of their vehicles. This is unbelievable! Hope this gets to volkswagen and the federal safety agency does something about this!

My airbag warning light is on. I have had no accidents and airbags have never been used. Dealer says I need an airbag inflator. They cannot or will not tell me if this is a takata inflator. I need to know before I spend $849.00 to replace the inflator. I have been driving with no airbags for a year and it is dangerous. Help please!

My airbag light came on. The fault was the passenger seat belt buckle stopped working and it was replaced for $361.98. The part is light in weight and flimsy, unlike the original and the one on the drivers side. Now my airbag light is on again. Now I am told I need to replace the passenger airbag because the inflator is not working. Estimate is $849. I have an extended warranty which does not cover. Is this inflator a takata make in my car? Why can't the inflator be replaced instead of the whole airbag? I am driving without any airbags, because when one has a problem, they all stop functioning. The car is unsafe!

I brought a volkswagen eos 2007 and was not aware of the airbag light being default light came on when I hit a speedbump. Took to volkswagen dealership and I was I had pay to get fixed I didnot feel that was my responsibility because it is a safety issue that they should have corrected or recall. I was on my way to work that morning and I total my car and I was told that I was driving on wrong side of the road and everything donot remember nothing. I had chest pain for over a month. I contacted volkswagen and they send a engineer to look at the car but the engineer never contacted me as to how the accident happen. I read his report he lie saying it was a weak battery as I said took to volkswagen dealership and that was not the problem. I also talk to a mechanic that work on cars stated that if the airbag light is on the airbag should not have deployed but it did. This is my first time purchasing a volkswagen and I paid cash for 20,000 and I am out of my money. They treated me like I was stupid and very rude I was told that there was one else in the company I could talk to. This is a safety issue that needs to be address.
