| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This is a complaint for a 2002 volkswagen gti. while i was driving, the passenger side curtain, pillar, and seat airbags all deployed. there is no damage at all to the vehicle. i contacted volkswagen to repair the car under their warranty but they refuse to repair the vehicle under the warranty since they claim that there is crush data stored in the vehicle computer. my wife who was sitting in the passenger seat has her leg bruised because of the airbag deployment. this is a very serious safety issues since the airbag deployment made a very loud noise,and fill the car in "white powder". this almost cause an accident in itself because of the noise and the ringing in my ear for the next minute or so. this is also not the first case of this kind of airbag deployment. i research on the web after in incident and found people who have similar experience in a vehicle of the same model and other volkswagen vehicle. below are the links for them http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=1558886 http://tech.bentleypublishers.com/thread.jspa?messageid=104943&tstart=0*jb |
