Passenger airbag is always off. I saw reports on youtube wiring connectors under the seat are the reason. There’s a home remedy solution. Important air bag issues should be freely be done by manufacturer or dealer. Also steering issues are more common than reported. The electrical devise fails too often rendering driving the vehicle difficult.

Horn stopped working and airbag warning light illuminated. Took car to vw dealership and they advised I need an air bag spring. Checked online and vw issued recall notices for similar issue for newer models, but not this model. Vw dealership offered estimate of $554.88 plus tax and shop supplies. Vw should extend recall to more years since this is a known issue.

Yellow airbag light would stay on when car was on. I checked with vw dealer to see if there was a recall and was advised no. This is the same problem that the 2010 thru 2016 vw are having. Dealer advised to replace the clockspring and harness due to build up of dust in the steering hub. Cost of repair $678.74 plus a 3week waitng time for part to arrive at the vw dealer.

I noticed my airbag indicator light for my left back seat stays on and after getting my car serviced, another airbag light for my driver side stays on. I find that unusual. Am I going to have to take my car in for service for every airbag that comes on within 3 months period??? Something needs to be done....concern and frustrated owner.

On 08/08/17 when I turned the car on, the driver's side airbag indicator light came on and stayed on. I brought the car to langan vw of vernon, ct (167 hartford turnpike, vernon, ct 06066) on 08/10/17. An analysis was done and I was told that the airbag was broken and that the airbag needed to be replaced. I was quoted a price of over $1,200 for parts and labor. I was told this was very unusual. I checked the recall list, but my make/model/year is not on the list. I thought you should know that there may be a potential bigger problem that includes my make/model/year. When I pick up my car and get the itemized bill, I would be happy to send it to you if requested. Thank you

The airbag malfunction light is on. I checked and the problem seems to be the steering wheel clock spring that can be contaminated by debris, which moves the part's guide loops out of position. This can cause a tear in the electrical cable that controls the driver's airbag. If this happens, a warning light would illuminate, but the safety device would not deploy in a crash. Vw is still identifying all of the affected vins and developing a fix. I sow that the 2010 jetta are recalled for the same problem. Why my car is not included in the recall.
