| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: As i was driving the passenger side airbags deployed for no apparent reason. i stopped to check for damage, did not see anything, and could not find anything in the road. now i have a car with the headliner and front passenger seat blown apart. i took the car to the dealer for a diagnostic. they found a dent and told me that was the cause and i should report it to my insurance company to be covered under my collision. the insurance adjuster found the dent identified by the dealer showed signs of age and was not the cause. making a judgment the presence of dirt, road grime and some surface rust suggested it was older damage. it was most likely caused by incorrectly adjusting the lift when work was done under the car. finding no other damage that would cause deployment they closed the claim and my car was not repaired. vw refuses to take responsibility. *jb |
