Tl* the contact owns a 2015 volkswagen jetta. Whether the vehicle was parked or being driven, the passenger air bag warning indicator illuminated when the passenger seat was unoccupied. The vehicle was taken to lakeland volkswagen (209 s lake parker ave, lakeland, fl 33801, (863) 804-6160) where the cause of the failure was undetermined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified and informed the contact that the VIN was not included in the federal safety agency campaign number: 15v672000 (air bags). The approximate failure mileage was 42,000.
My vehicle is displaying the exact defect described in the federal safety agency recall number 15v627000 for volkswagen's 2015 jetta. My vehicle was manufactured in november of 2014, which falls within the recall time frame. However, the manufacture refuses to make repairs because they have not included my car's VIN number in the federal safety agency recall. This issue can be observed when the vehicle is in motion, and when it is stationary. It has occurred in situations where the vehicle is on a city street and on a highway as well as turning. I don't know what else to do at this point, I just want my vehicle to be safe. Thank you.
Passenger seat occupancy sensor is poorly designed and anything placed on the seat initiates the sensor and the fasten seatbelt light and gong. Items that cause this condition has been fast food, small dogs, paperwork, a cell phone on a charger, my cd case. I rented an identical vehicle from hertz and this issue did not happen. Looking into the problem online this has been a problem with many owners stretching back to 2011 model years. If the seat sensor senses something on it and there is a wreck both airbags will be deployed further risking the driver to flying debris. Dealer claims this is a normal situation. Since some vehicles are having this problem and other vw products are not I kinda doubt it.
The airbag light came on. Dealership says the airbag module controller 4m0959339a03a and passenger seat sensor are bad 5c6959340b. Ordered new module, dealership asked for VIN and said there is a service bulletin for part ordered. Maybe something wrong with it they said. The vehicle was in motion with no passengers when airbag light when on indicating malfunction.
