SEATS
A 2001 VW JETTA HAS AN ISSUE WITH A METAL SPRING THAT IS PART OF THE DRIVER SEAT. THE SPRING SEPARATES FROM THE MECHANISM THAT KEEPS THE SEAT FROM SLIDING FORWARD. THERE IS NO SPECIFIC REASON THE SPRING BECOMES LOOSE FROM THE CAR SEAT AND ONE WOULD NEVER KNOW IF THE SPRING IS NOT ATTACHED, IT COULD CAUSE MAJOR HARM TO THE DRIVER IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. THE SEAT REMAINS LOCKED IN A POSITION, BUT IF THE CAR IS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT, THE SEAT COULD SLIDE FORWARD, CAUSING INJURY. VW REFUSES TO COVER THE PART AS A SAFETY RECALL AND IS CHARGING HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. I KNOW OF 2 INSTANCES WHERE THIS SAME ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE DRIVER SEATS IN A 2001 VW JETTA. *JB

AIR BAGS
THIS VEHICLE (2008 VW GLI) SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER SB-69-11-01 AS WELL. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS COME UP. VW JETTA GLI IS A SPECIAL MODEL BASED ON THE VW JETTA 2008. I THINK THERE IS AN OVERSIGHT FOR NOT PLACING THIS SAME TYPE OF VEHICLE UNDER SB-69-11-01. GLI IS ESSENTIAL A SPORTS MODEL UPGRADE OF JETTA MODEL, WHY ISN'T THIS VEHICLE COVERED BY THE SAME TSB?
