| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: No impact, no pot holes, no speed bumps - driving on a paved road the passenger side (roof & seat) airbags deployed. no passengers were in the vehicle, driver only w/seat belt - no driver side or front air bags deployed. vw dealer found no damage; vw regional claims black box says "significant impact" thus no defect, report it to insurance co. . insurance co finds no damage to the vehicle, denies claim. vw says airbags deployed due to passenger not wearing seat belt (no passenger in the vehicle); also said not manufactured to withstand pot holes or speed bumps. insurance co says airbags deploy only w/seat belt fastened. either way, this is a defect - air bags deployed w/no accident, no passenger; if there was an impact, driver side air bags did not deploy. this vehicle is still under manufacturer warranty. nobody will pay for the damage the airbags created. i have found many complaints - air bags deploy in vw jetta's while driving on a roadway, no impact, no pot holes, no speed bumps ... vw has a problem - this should be a re-call - make them fix it! thanks *nm |
