Jetta 5-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 5,200 miles
I purchased my 2005 Volkswagen Jetta in April 2005 from colonial Volkswagen in feasterville, pa. On August 24th I brought it in because my front passenger seat belt broke. The dealer indicated that they didn't have the belt in stock and would have to order it. I told them that I was unhappy with the fact that they didn't stock seat belt parts for a new vehicle and that I felt it was dangerous to ride around in a vehicle without seat belts. I also called Volkswagen, but they have been unable to remedy the problem. As of today, Sept. 1, 2005, the seat belt is still not in. This is a dangerous situation. If I should get into an accident and my passenger is hurt or killed, who is responsible?
