| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I bought a used 2001 vw golf in april. the airbag light remains on when vehicle is in motion. i brought the car to a vw dealer and paid $85 for them to tell me that the airbag had high resistance and might not deploy in case of an accident. they said the harnass of the driver's side airbag need to be replaced and it would cost me $700. this is not a wearable part of the car, and is a desgin fault that may endager the life of the driver. i am wondering why i should pay for this. shouldn't it be the responbsibility of vw to ensure that non-wearable parts remain working for quite a long time? especially if it is safety related? |
