2004 Volkswagen Beetle Air bags Problems

“I was driving 25 MPH and my front bumper hit a parked car, airbag deployed and rendered me unconscience it caused $12,000 to my teeth and possible head injury and 18 months at a specialist dental, had to have a bone graph and stint in my mouth, liver and abdominal contusion had to pay an attorney $9,000 to an attorney to represent me in court, I lost my job and am now on ssd”

“The air bag warning light came on. This was the subject of an earlier recall due to sensors. We were told that this was due to a faulty seat belt buckle and not due to sensors. We were also originally told it was due to a faulty battery. However, the battery was checked by aaa and was not faulty. Eventually vw agreed to replace the seat belt buckle on the drivers side.”

“Our 2004 vw new Beetle has had two air bag switch failures. The first one was within the first couple thousand miles and was covered under warranty. The second one just happened and was not covered by our original warranty, or our extended warranty. If this is a safety issue and we did nothing to promote the failure, is the $535 repair our responsibility? Srs.pco”

“Vw Beetle, air bag light continues to malfunction for my 2004 model. I've taken the car for repair for at least 4-times in the past 4-years. I believe the initial recall # 03v3s6000 was never corrected and company is not concerned in fixing it ever.”

“The airbag light, among other things, in our 2004 new Beetle has come on approximately 10 times in three years. Each time, the vehicle was taken back to the dealer and supposedly fixed, but without fail, the light came back on each time. The seatbelt buckle was changed, connections were secured, they said it was shorted (guided fault findings, bumper cover removed, seat removed), and others. I have all copies of service records. …”
