This is very concerning and seems to be a systemic issue with this make and model year. Many report airbags not deploying in the event of an accident. Volkswagen needs to do the right thing and issue a recall before they have a pr nightmare by putting profit…

Airbag sensors malfunctioning at least twice on daughter's jetta. Just had the faulty wiring under the driver's seat repaired and, a few days later, light is back on with yet another diagnosis for another issue with the crash sensor, potentially. See on this feed that many others have the same issue. Why is vw not issuing a lifetime recall?

My crash sensor's went off for no reason. There was no accident at all. This is causing an airbag fault light to be on in my car and from what i understand, the airbags will not work now if the light is on. The previous owner of my car had this same fault fixed (with only about 20,000 miles on the odo). There are numerous complaints out there about these same faults on the same cars (mkv jetta, rabbit/gti). There…
