The manufacturer has not provided a fix to the airbag recall in a reasonable amount of time. It-??s been 3 months and my family is not able to ride in the front passenger seat which is a huge inconvenience for us. We-??ve often had to take multiple cars because of this issue.

The passenger side airbag has been switched off due to a fault in something. So if I have a passenger in my front passenger side and am in an accident, the airbag will not deploy which could cause a multitude of safety problems and possibly cause a fatality. I took my car in 6/15/23 to the dealership and they did confirm that my car was effected by this recall, however, they did not have a fix for it. My light indicating that the passenger airbag is off has been on for over a month. I have contacted Volkswagen and their response to me was "just don't put anyone in the front seat". That response is simply unacceptable when my family and friends lives are at stake. This is approximately the 10 safety recall on this vehicle.

The front passenger air bag warning light has been coming on intermittently for over 6 months now. It first began on a 4-hour trip, chiming the whole 4 hours while a passenger was in the seat, unable to move to another seat due to occupancy. The vehicle was brought into the dealership and sensor was replaced. Since then, the warning has continued to come on intermittently and the vehicle was brought into the dealership 2 additional times with no fix. Being told by Volkswagen to have no one sit in the front passenger seat until a remedy is found is unacceptable especially for those who do not have a choice to not have that seat occupied.
