Air Bags · reported Aug 29, 2022
I have contacted vw and brought vehicle in for airbag module light. Code 01218 due to passenger seat airbag. Was told it wasnât repairable. Isnât this a safety issue? I thought all airbags were covered under the life of the vehicle?

Took vehicle in today to tracy volkswagen in tracy california to fix my airbag light that came on for passenger side seat airbag. They said there were unable to repair the issue cause volkswagen discontinued the part. So they said to me that ecs tuning has the part available and they could install it for $537 extra. I thought the airbag system was suppose to be free of errors for the lifetime of the vehicle so why do I put myself and occupants in danger driving with a malfunctioning manufacture part? I hope there is some remedy for this and I AM not paying almost another $1000 for this light…

Electrical System · reported Sep 9, 2019
I have twin daughters that were 17 yrs. Last yr. I AM a single mom. I bought this car off a craigslist ad. When my daughter & I went & looked at it I looked to see if it had ever been wrecked it had no report of that. The person that sold it to me said the convertible didn't go down because he didn't have the key, I had no idea that it had 33 complaints filed on it, and it would be leaking water filling the floor boards 2-3"every time it stormed.
