| 2002 | AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW | WHILE DRIVING ON I 75 S FROM CHATTANOOGA, I HEARD A LOUD POP AND SAW SMOKE. THINKING A TIRE HAD BLOWN, I PULLED OVER. I REALIZED THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS HAD DEPLOYED. TRIPLE A TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AS I WAS TERRIFIED TO DRIVE IT. IT HAS BEEN TWO WEEKS AND I STILL HAVE NOT GOT MY CAR BACK OR EVEN BEEN TOLD IF THEY WILL FIX IT. THE DEALER IS HAVING TO E MAIL PICTURES TO VW TO SHOW THAT NO DAMAGE WAS DONE. THEY ARE SAYING A SENSOR WENT OFF. NO DOUBT! IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME AND MY WITNESSES THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURE DEFECT THAT SHOULD BE COVERED. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO. I PLAN TO INVESTIGATE IT FURTHER TO FIND OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE, BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN A JETTA. *AK |
