| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My husband was driving down manchester road (a busy 4 lane road) getting ready to make a right hand when the passenger airbags deployed. he said it sounded like a gunshot went off in the car. he was able to pull the car into a walgreens parking lot. my 4 year old son was suppose to be in the car with him. he would have been injured if he was. this is a serious defect and needs to be acknowledged and dealt with. there was no impact and not a mark on the car indicating an accident. vw is refusing to pay for the repair because they state that an accident had to occur because air bags don't just go off. my car insurance company is also not paying because there is no visible damage on the car to be fixed therefore there is no claim to be filed. *jb |
