I was driving at 15 mph and hit a pothole. all of a sudden my passenger side airbags deployed along with the passanger side seat airbag. there is no damage to the car what so ever. there was no reason for the airbags to deploy imagine airbags depolying every time someone ran over a pothole. the dealership (www.reydelvw.com) refuses to cover this under warrenty.
As i was getting into my car at night (2003 vw gti) i noticed it was very cold. i then proceeded to try to turn the car on but the starter would not give, then to no avail i noticed that the airbag sensor light would not turn off. roadside assitance through vw was contacted and stated unfortunatly under the extreme cold and due to it being so late at night they could not contact a tow to assist me . *ak
This is the second time my clutch assembly failed. first time at 4500 miles in december 2003. vw dealership replaced clutch. clutch assemply again became spongy and rpms increased to dangerous levels. volkswagen america refused to repair malfunctuion in equipment. many specialty repair shops are saying this is caused by the dual mass fly wheel sticking open. *ak
