We have classified the 34 complaints from 2002 Volkswagen Jetta about AIR BAGS into the following categories.
Driving @ a below avg. speed 3 side airbags deployed w/o any sort of impact. there was no visible damage (i have pics) to the body of my brand new car (w/less than 2500 mls) the utterly random deployment of these airbags is enough to cause an accident on its own. fortunatly, that wasn't the case here- but it's only a matter of time until somebody dies. hopefully your establishment can persuade vw to give this 'major defect' the attention that it needs! thank you for your time.*ak ie04-078*po
