Jetta 4-cyl Diesel

  • Manual transmission
  • 120,000 miles
For the last several months while driving the airbag warning light flickers on at various times. Returned to repair shop twice and as told no error codes have been registered by the car. This happens in wet and dry weather all different times. When the car is started the indicator light always does go off. I am the sole driver, original owner, always serviced, no modifications to the car, and never in an accident.

Recurring issue - air bag warning light stays lit after starting. Takes dealership a long time to diagnose and fix. We have lost over 2 weeks of use of the vehicle so far.
