My passenger side airbag warning light is always on and the airbag is makes noise that is irritating.
Takata recall: i brought my 2007 passat to kuhn vw in tampa, fl. at first they refused to fix the recall, because vw was coming out with another one in a few months and they wouldnt receive payment for the first one. i came back 2 months later in july 2018 and had the recall completed. i decided to drive the vehicle when i returned from work in oct 2018 and the horn and steering wheel buttons no longer work, the very next day, i get a airbag fault on the dash. i'm not sure, since kuhn never said, if the two were related. they wanted to charge me $129 for a diagnostic, which i refused and complained, then they did it for free and stated that its the clock-spring? i find it ironic that the clock spring would go out after installing this recall. reading some of the other complaints which some have stated the same problem. kuhn offered to replace the clock spring for $400+, which i cant afford.
We have been waiting on a list to get the airbag replaced. my car was involved in a rear end collision with air bag deployment, and car is considered a total loss and lucky no one was hurt. the car should not have been driven until it was fixed but that is not possible, i think vw should have at least offered a rental till it was fixed. now i have a totaled car because of airbag deployment. the roads were wet and person in front of him got cutoff and slammed on my brakes and my car rear ended that car. there is a police report and insurance claims. i can send pictures upon request to a email address.
